Good App. Finally found perfect app. I've two issues hope you will correct it. 1) It is showing " To read list" I want list for current reading and finished reading list. 2) How can I add thumbnails or cover page for my books instead of question mark.

To use the isbn scanner, you're forced to download they're barcode scanner even though I already have one. No thank you.

Wonderful, wonderful app! A dream come true for me! And it's free! I have been wanting to inventory my books so I can see what I have, what to keep, what to loan. Black Books is simple to use, easy on the eyes. I'm able to scan ISBNs, save time on input. And for personal vintage books I own, I take a picture of their covers! Other apps have this photo option, but Black Books enables me to also rotate and edit the photo direction--NO OTHER book inventory app gave me this option! Absolutely LOVE this app!

It would not let me add any books. At all. It just gave me error messages. I even downloaded their barcode app (which is stupid, most phones already have at least one of those already.) and that is even gave me error messages. I reported the problem and waited for awhile for some kind of update to fix the it, but nothing came. Uninstalled.

About this app

Black Books helps you make an inventory of your books and manage them!

* Make a list of your books: add them manually or simply scan their ISBN (Pic2Shop required).
* Automatically get book details (including thumbnails) from Google Books and Open Library.
* Bulk add books: scan or enter a list of ISBNs and start a background search.
* Edit your books: thumbnail, authors, categories, series, language, page count, etc.
* Have a quick overview of your library directly from the home screen.
* Browse your books by author, category, series, language.
* Search your library using the simple full-text search feature.
* Keep track of the books to read.
* Mark your favourite books.
* Don't lose your books anymore by indicating their location.
* Manage your loans: to whom and when?
* Export your library as a Spreadsheet compatible text file.


Black Books requires the following permissions:

* Camera: this feature allows you to take pictures of your book covers and import them directly into the app.
* Internet: this is necessary in order to retrieve the book details.
* Read contacts: when loaning a book, you can pick one of your contacts as the loanee. Only the name of the contact is stored in the app as long as the book is marked as loaned. The app does not send the contacts to any other party.
* Read logs: if an unexpected error occurs, the app offers the possibility to send us the log file, which will help us figure out what went wrong.
* Write external storage: the app needs to write the external storage when:
* Exporting the library as a Spreadsheet compatible text file.
* Saving a backup of the app database.
