Pros:

- The app is great for bibliophiles and can handle a large amount of data entry.

- Users of the mobile app get a free unlimited membership.

- The app allows for marking books as loaned out and keeping track of who has them.

- The app is useful for keeping track of homeschool curriculum and associated books.

- The app has a lot of flexibility in submitting book covers or jackets.


Cons:

- The cataloguing datasets are limited with older imprints, and the addition of another database such as OCLC Classify would be helpful.

- The app does not have a .csv import feature, which can be inconvenient for those with extensive libraries already catalogued in other apps.

- The app drops off entries, which can be a huge issue as the library grows and the app is relied upon to keep track of what is owned.

- The app could benefit from the ability to add different categories for different types of media.

  • Library is too limited...

    By Kiwi671 (Pcmac user)

    My personal home library consists of hardback books, paperback books, DVDs, VHS tapes, CDs, etc. I would like to see the ability to add different categories in this app. The BIGGEST issue I have had so far is the app dropping off entries. I scan and save an item but when I look for it later, it isn't listed anymore. This is becoming a huge issue as my library grows and I depend on this app to know what I have and what I still need. Update: I had to delete all of our (~2k) movies out of LT, because the list was never completely accurate. I have downloaded another app to track our collections of everything but books. The updates that this app DESPERATELY needs are: ability to personalize categories, a loaned to tracker, and the ability to see more detail, such as whether a book is a paperback, hardback or ebook. Developers — PLEASE listen to your customers! We are willing to pay for a PRO version with these features!
  • Excellent, if web-based

    By Aktariel (Pcmac user)

    This is *the* catalogue app for book nerds; the amount of data that can be entered is insane. I have just enough old/rare books that entering them manually in something like Delicious Library is a hassle; this app handles them all with aplomb. Also users of the mobile app apparently get a free unlimited membership, which is also rockin (if a bit worrying about how they manage to stay in business). I wish it was a bit more touch friendly when editing metadata, and had the option to cache my catalog offline so I can check it without needing service, but it works excellently otherwise.
  • Working well so far

    By TabbyRT (Pcmac user)

    I have had little trouble scanning books in via my phone. For loaning, I plan to mark the book in my Loaned Out collection and use the private comment to mark who has the book. Mostly needed this to keep track of homeschool curriculum and associated books. I recently purchased another book I already owned. 🙄 this app will help if I remember to check my catalog first.
  • Decent But Limited

    By asta2001 (Pcmac user)

    This app is very good for bibliophiles. The amount of information and flexibility of submitting book covers or jackets is better than most apps. I have two major concerns: the cataloguing datasets, though extensive, are limited with older imprints. The addition of another database such as OCLC Classify would be helpful for those of us with extensive libraries which use DDC or LCCN numbers. Also, for those of us with extensive libraries already catalogued in more limited apps, a .csv import feature would be welcome instead of having to scan each book again into the Lubrary Thing database. Otherwise, this is a nice program for my use. And you can’t beat the price: free.
