Book Tracking Apps

[CapeCodTenor]

Hello, everyone!

I've done a quick search and didn't see this, so if there is a thread about this and I missed it it I do apologize. I wanted to ask all those readers out there if you have any recommendations for apps for the iPhone that helps to organize and keep track of your personal libraries. I'm a big fan of Steve Berry and Bernard Cornwell, and when I go out to a book store to find more books, I have to look at a photo on my phone of all the books I own to see if I own it. I would love to find an app where I can have a list of the books I already own so can look at the list instead of looking at several pictures. Thanks

I would use Google Drive. Make a sheet (spreadsheet) listing all of your books. Depending on how much you want it organized, it can be just one tab with book, author, and any other details, or you can do multiple tabs for each author and a "master" tab pulling content from the others.

Google Sheets would be available when you're out (unless you don't have cell service) and easier to sort/search than going through pictures.

Theres a few sites and they all have apps for phone making it easier to work sites on phone. Goodreads is proanbbaly the biggest. They will all have almost everybook you've read in your life in their databases so loading your read books is very easy.

I was going to suggest this as well. You can set up a book shelf that is books that you currently own.

Another vote for Goodreads. Like @disneychrhas suggested, I've set up a separate shelf to keep track of all books I own and links in well with everything else I've read and want to read too.

I love GoodReads. It helps me keep track of what I want to read, currently reading, and read with dates and a fun wrap up at the end of the year. It also lets you see what your friends are reading.

The only thing about Goodreads is the app, at least for authors is not super friendly and I use the regular site on my phone often rather than the app.

I am using Fable this year. Last year, a lot of people I know had issues with books just disappearing from their lists on Goodreads and things were not counting correctly. So far I like Fable but I am only just reading book #5 for the year so who knows.

Only book #5? I just finished my first and it was one I started the end of December.
