Manage Your Cherished Collection

Once you start collecting books, either as a hobby or to read, you begin to appreciate how important it is to have your collection organized and accessible to you. This is where the BookBuddy Pro app comes into play and can really make a big difference.

Best iphone and ipad apps

The developer states that some of its users actually has more than 10,000 books to manage, so it doesn't matter how large you collection is, this app will come in handy.

The way it works is that you are able to enter in your book by searching for it in Google books or by scanning the barcode. From here you can start to organize and manage your collection in the way that works best for you.

It should be noted that in order to use book buddy pro you will need to have iOS 13.0 and only 27 MB of free memory space.

Taking a Closer Look

You are given many customization and management tools to use in this app yet it manages to stay user-friendly with a clean design. If you find yourself lending out books and/or borrowing them, again use this app to keep track of these details so you aren't trying to remember on your own.

This can prevent you from losing someone’s book or having one of yours lost because you don’t remember who borrowed it.

Customization features of the app include being able to use tags for books, manage them in a series, sort them by specific fields, name your own categories for organizational purposes, mark books as favorites, create a Wish List, and add notes to books.

All of your information is backed-up to the cloud or Dropbox so you know it's safe and secure. If you're searching for a particular book, no problem because you can use the search tool to search by publisher, author, or title.

Recent updates this year include adding multiple author support, how to display author's last name, auto detect custom app links, and numerous bug fixes.
