BookBuddy is a Bookseller’s Buddy

I work in an independent bookshop, and keeping track of our current stock can sometimes be a bit messy. We're a mom and pop type of place, so we kind of just figure stuff out as we go along. However, this app has been the first tool that has allowed me to successfully keep track of all the books with just a click of a button. The organization features are stellar, honestly. The only nitpicky thing I would like to see as a feature would be the ability to sort authors by last name, as we personally organize that way. I had to manually edit the names of each author so that when I sort by name, it reflects what I see on the shelves in front of me.

Poor sorting options

It’s kind of crazy you can sort by author’s last name, only first name since alphabetically by last name is the standard.

Exceeds expectations

Hello- I would like to thank the developer for their work upon this cleverly designed app, and to recommend it for its utility and value. The app is easy to navigate. It features numerous library view and sort filters. Book catalog information is easy to share with friends to ensure accurate recommendations. Adding books, modern and old, is a delight. I use the camera barcode scan for most items, but there is an integrated online search feature helps identify and properly catalog older items (a feature that has yet to fail me). There are numerous ways to customize cover photos and detail catalog information. It also allows me to track my progress with individual volumes. I'm sure I missed something, but these are my standouts. Getting a little war and peacey here, so I'll wrap it up. I'm just impressed with something so well executed. This will help manage my little kernel of a home library. It is a remarkable value for the utility, Thank you.

Love this app!

I love this app! I’ve convinced two family members to download it. It’s like being able to be a librarian for my own personal book collection. I initially downloaded it because I was tired of accidentally getting duplicates of books I owned at thrift stores. It’s so nice to be able to pull up this app and see exactly which book in a series I’m missing, or if the gem I found in a used bookstore is needed. I highly recommend it!

Good but could be better

I wish the authors could categorized by last name instead of first

Fantastic!

This is a wonderful app! Intuitive, robust, and thorough. I spent a lot of years developing software - this is an elegant app. Well worth the small one-time fee for Pro version. Love it!!!
