United StatesThe 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.
Need iPad App
Please add an app for the iPad. Using the iPhone version on a larger tablet is crazy - it’s just too small.
United StatesCould be better
As a place to see what books you own? It good. However it lacks almost all the features that the website has which is fairly disappointing. It would even be better if the viewing of books could be seen in the way the website does, like Dewy or Library of Congress.
United StatesPoor function
The website is wonderful, but the app often crashes or freezes on both my phone and tablet, and the barcode scanner consistently causes the app to stop working. It would be much more useful as an app if the barcode worked and we’re not so slow.
United StatesLongtime user, but missing key feature in app
I love LibraryThing. I’ve used the web version pretty much since they started, and I purchased the lifetime membership shortly afterward. But one key feature, pretty much the only feature that I want in a mobile version, is missing: sort by call number. It boggles the mind that the primary benefit of accessing one’s library like this is not a feature of the mobile app. Sure, the covers of my books look great, but why would anyone need to sort by “date added” or “rating”? If you’re organizing a large personal library, which has long been LT’s strength, call number is key.
United StatesImport option
The only things that I’d like to improve are being able to scan mass market books into the app and being able to import titles and etc from our Nook and Kindle libraries.
United StatesDoes Exactly What I Want
I have no complaints whatsoever! I needed an app that allowed me to quickly add books to my library, easily view books, modify organization order, etc. LibraryThing does all of that splendidly. I also like being able to view more details on LT or Amazon as needed. Whether scanning barcodes or searching by name., LT always finds my titles.
United StatesAwesome app
I really enjoy the app. It’s been super easy and helpful to scan our library of books. One suggestion - we homeschool - I would like to be able to edit the “collections” to indicate general themes such as American History, or Roman history.
United States
Fixed bug that produced a crash when scanning barcodes and quickly moving into and out of the scanner mode.
