Book Crawler App Reviews

Been using for a few years now. Does what you want it to do. Current version stable. Never buy a book twice. Always have all the info with me. Now latest version has iCloud backup.

Ive been using this app for years and its fantastic. I especially like the bar code scanner which makes organizing my books a snap.

Just Buy!

I loved this app until the most recent update. Now every time I scroll down to the bottom of my list, the app freezes up on me.

I came across this app when looking for a way to keep track of all the books I have read and want to read. I love that you can scan a bar code to add a book quickly to your lists. I am very happy with this app!

Update 10/2026 This app has consistently gotten worse. Dont buy it. It loses books from your database, it wont show tags, and comments and the search options are basically useless. Also, the community options no longer work at all. Update 4/2016 This app has improved recently but still have the same issues that started in 2015. If you are happy with the goodreads app, dont waste your money on this. If want an app that allows you more control this is an ok app. Here are my suggestions to the designers, if they read these: Stop making this app freak out if you dont log onto Facebook! Please bring back the option to have decimals in the series! That was one of my favorite options and its been gone for 2 years. There are novellas between full books, so having the option for 2.5 is important. Also, please fix the series display in the title. If a series has the same title, but different sub titles, make it defer to the series number instead. If the goodreads app didnt stink, I would switch. Update 9/6/15 Now the app hardly works at all. It still makes me try to log into Facebook, and I cant edit any of my book entries. After so many updates you would think these issues would be solved. I have to suggest NOT purchasing this app now. I used to love it and now I cant even use it. Update 7/19/15 I am extremely frustrated with this update. When I try to post what Im reading to the community app it forces me out to try to get into Facebook. I still like the way the app is organized and I still use the app, but I wish I would work better. Also, really want the ability to make decimals in the series number. Update 7/7/15 While I still enjoy this app, I am not a fan of the most recent updates. There are lots of error messages and the app gets stuck on Facebook all the time. I dont even want it to connect to Facebook, but it wont stop trying. 2013 I love this app, it really useful and a joy to use. I would really like if there was an option for reading dates that allowed us to track multiple read dates. Some books need to be re-read and I wish I could keep track of how many time Ive read a book. Otherwise great app. Also, very good customer service. When the app goes down, it gets fixed quickly.

I have used Bookcrawler for several years now. It is perfect for keeping track of what Ive read. It keeps track of every little detail you can even think of entering about each book. And you can sort by those details. I like everything about it.

Ive had this app for several years. I love it. The import/export feature works perfect. Great library search and sort functions. Barcode scanner registers quickly. Connected to Goodreads community. Never had an issue with it.

I love this app. I would love to keep the information in my computer. Is there a way to do that?

I have a TON of books and decided recently organizing and keeping track of what I have would be great. I downloaded this app, but unless Im missing something I dont understand the glowing reviews. The isbn scanner barely works. Manually entering books isnt really an option I want to go with, as I have a great many and it would end up taking a lot of time up. If they update it I might try it again, but as is, I think Im going to keep looking.

I have an extensive business and technical library and am always hunting for the next book to add to my collection. I also have a bad memory, so it is nice to have Jaimes app to help me keep track of the books I already own, but may not have read yet. Thanks for this simple to use app!

Advertised as best book management app. Maybe five years ago, but now clunky and outdated. Design is out of the 90s and app is confusing at best. Crashes repeatedly with a large database. Export to Dropbox also wont work with large DB, can only export as CSV. No secondary search option from search bar. Does not allow Storage Location except as a custom field. Insists on overwriting imported data with internet updates. There are more modern and easier to utilize book managers, dont waste your money. UPDATE: After latest update database no longer loads. App is unusable!! UPDATE OF UPDATE: This app has so many issues I cant recommend it to anyone. Have lost book database yet again and Restore does not work. Lost two years worth the of data. There are other much better options. save your money and frustration!

Version downloaded today crashes immediately on launch. Otherwise I like app a lot so Im not giving it a bad rating, presumably just growing pains with new version.

I dislike this new version and miss the ease of the collection view. I know that I can "filter" to see the collection but its not the same and rather annoying how it takes up space on the screen then moves up, then back down. Hope this changes! I did finally figure out how to edit collections in the new version but it is not as intuitive or easy as before.

I loved this app when I first bought it! Everything I was looking for in a personal library database. However, because I have an older phone/os the app doesnt work. Wont hold edits, wont retain new entries, wont allow for deleting. If they cant support ALL paying customers than I guess Id like my money back.

I use this app for work to organize my classroom library. Since updating it no longer even opens. Please fix it FAST. I am trying to get books scanned and back in my libary before guests come for the holidays.

Recently it crashes every time a "update" is done. Then a couple months back I had to pay another 2.99 I think to even access my logs. Not happy. I use this to keep up with my books so I dont buy duplicates.

Since the last update it shows you the book crawler page then shuts off please fix I just payed 2.99 for unlimited books and then it died

This was a 5 stars app for me, until it stopped working since the update before last! It was crashing as soon as it opens. Now another update came, app opens and I was able to add new books to my collection. But some issues still remain; 1. App eventually crashed on me. 2. The appearance of the search bar is still out of control. 3. The camera while scanning the ISBN bar moves in opposite directions! This is a very challenging issue. Lolz! Takes me forever to manage to get the bar within the scanner limits. Other than those lil bugs which Im sure theyll fix, this is a great app and I love the shelves display and easy scan of collection. It would be nice if we could export the list into a pdf file to email or upload. Thanks a lot for the app guys. Keep it up

Im so disappointed. Ugh. Scanner doesnt work. This app needs a lot of improvement.
