About this app

The LibraryThing app allows LibraryThing members to catalog and browse their collections. LibraryThing is focused on books, but you can add most media, including books, DVDs and CDs. LibraryThing relies on data from Amazon, and over 65 million library records.

Add books by searching for them or scanning their ISBN barcode with the camera.

Add high-resolution cover photos of your books with the cover editor and browse your books by cover type to find copies that need better covers.

Ratings and reviews

I'm just getting started but so far I really like all that it provides. Pretty easy to maneuver around, but until you get used to it, it may take some patience. I'm just trying to find the barcode scanner to use my phones camera to scan the books, but even with what and where to find it, I have no clue. They tell me to look for the "catalog page", we'll, i gave not seen anything that says catalog. I've found "add books" or "import books" but thete is no barcode an either of those pages.

good program; shaky app. adding to your library is not at all easy. the barcode scanner is unusable. with the slightest movement it re-scans and automatically adds the book again, making you go back and delete the "duplicate copy." after it scans I want to see the details to confirm them and then tap an okay button or something to add thebook to my library, not have it add on its own.

The app is well designed; however, it crashes too frequently. Some scans incorrectly add the wrong book, and when I attempt to correct this by deleting the entry, the app crashes. After reopening the app, the book remains, and attempting to delete it again results in another crash. This cycle repeats. Aside from the frequent crashes, I do like the app overall.
