Ratings and reviews

This is a really good application, it works seamlessly and is user friendly. If you are a private person I would recommend the Personal account since it is priced reasonably so if you wish to ultimately subscribe, the transition will be seamless. Another great value to this software is the team behind it and their attentive support for all of their users both free and subscription.

The app is remarkably like the full web application. Clear and easy to use. Handy for walking around the Museum storage areas and taking inventory. The underlying application for recording/tracking collections, from a personal collection to a museum is easy to learn, intuitive to use, and captures virtually all the information you might need in structured way; anything else you want to record fits into one of the several Notes properties. The support at CatalogIt is remarkably responsive and helpful.

I am managing an entire book collection with this app and it's amazing! I used to have all Excel spreadsheets messed up together with tons of data. I own 400 books of different types and genres. Great app!
