Tainted by Facebook sign-in
Using the app requires signing in to an account, and the sign-in process is tainted with Facebook code. That is unfortunately a no-go for me, for privacy reasons.

A simple and beautiful layout will help you keep track of the amazing books you come across.
Feature Highlights:

* Information is retrieved directly from Amazon and iBooks Store
* Add manually (not via search), or SCAN BARCODE
* Snap picture of cover when manually adding a book

It's also a great help when friends and family suggest books to you and you never know where to write them down and eventually forget.
"Every day you hear or read about a book that sounds interesting - and now there's an app designed to help track all those books recommendations," commented developer Giacomo Balli. "My Book List is the personalized book list of all the books you've been meaning to read, and those you've read."

Awesome
Finally getting a handle of my books 300* and only 3 duplicates! Great app!
2019-11-09
Great Ap!
Easy to use! Low price! Only 2 barcodes out of 52 did not match the title found, that is a win in my Books! 😉
2019-09-30
Very nice app
I really like this app a lot. Great way to keep track of your books.
2019-03-24
Great app.
Does what it says it will. Love the barcode scanner. Had an issue with a syntax error. The app developer responded and was able to restore my book list. Very happy with the responsiveness in getting the error fixed. Would definitely recommend this app!

Oct 2018 update makes app unusable
I used to love this simple app which allowed me to keep a running list of books. However latest update, Oct 5, 2018 ( version 5.97) screwed up app and requires you to sign in through Facebook. No thanks. Now I don't have access to my booklist because the app won't work.
2019-02-12
Terrible!!
Have intermittently used this app for several years and have been an exercise in frustration. Books searched for then add to my list do not appear on my list in author category even if set up to list by author. AND don’t accidentally touch Add-on as you’ll get billed! This has happened several times. Fed up! Just going to use excel and create my own list. Creator never responds.
2019-01-26
Can’t really try...
We can’t try the app without creating an account. Plus could only try with 3 books. Should be at least 30. That’s not great. I’d simply like to give it a try before registering and paying for options. Too bad. I won’t try it.
2018-11-04
Outstanding
Great app for anyone with a large book collection. Scanning add-on allows for for simple, rapid input of books. Support was there when required and issue (self imposed) was expeditiously addressed and resolved. Highly recommended.
2018-08-23
Handy
Works well but auto fill leaves last letters off
2018-08-18
Run
I paid for a feature within the app to get more space but my library just flew away and disappeared, really disappointed. Go for another app
2018-05-09
Love it!
I like being able to know all my books! The keyboard is a bit jumpy and searching and receiving is very slow.
I wish that the list for date added was at the top instead of having to scroll down to the bottom.
And no matter how many times I set the button for marking the books read or not it always marks the books as read. Sometimes I buy a lot of books and its a pain having to go to each book and change it to not read.
Otherwise with 507 books listed I haven't had any real issues. It does what I want! Keeps track of the books I've read and haven't read

My book list
So complicated to understand the cost of what you are paying for
2017-03-21
I have catalogued my library!
I used MyBookList to catalogue over 1400 books. No more buying duplicates.
You have to get the Scanner and Backup add ons to make this app useful. Once I got those installed my major problems were older books without bar codes or ISBNs. You have to know to scan the bar code on the inside of paperback covers. The ones on the back of paperbacks don't work.
I am using version 4.3 now and the scanner is much more robust than earlier versions.
2016-08-28
Mr.
It's OK.
2016-01-23
A rip off
This app charged me for the same add on multiple times, its a piece of junk.
2015-12-03
Awesome
This is a great app for my classroom

VERY Disappointing
What appeared to be an awesome app. is really just rubbish.
After purchasing the app. I had to purchase no end of add ons. And to add insult to injury, after adding over 50 books, they all disappeared.
Would NOT recommend this app. to anyone!
No response whatsoever from designer, who asks that you get in touch if you have any problems. He must be swamped with complaints!
2015-10-01
Just awful
I purchased books but now not there. All that is happen get now is ballons coming up add this and add that. They all cost and hoping I didn't accidentally buy something I do not want. Terrible app
2015-07-28
deceptive
If it says bar code scanner in the app title then that function shouldn't be an in app purchase. Also, pretty useless unless you make all of the in app purchases.
Not worth it.
2015-03-31
Cost was triple what I expected.
I purchased what I felt was a fully functional application. Once I started to run it, I had to add a module to input more than a few books.then I had to add another module in order to be able to back it up. I expect when I pay for an app the app is going to be complete. I do not expect to have to buy two additional modules to make it functional.
2015-01-24
Useless as is, and not worth $14 to make it work properly
Seriously? What a waste of time downloading as this as useless without huge expensive upgrades. ( I mean, $5 bucks each? Jeeze. ) Wish I had read reviews here first.
2015-01-16
TERRIBLE!
App works well but EVERY function costs more. There are few things I hate more than buying something and then being nickelled and dimed. Costs more to add 'unlimited books' just to start with...
2015-01-15
La pire application que j'ai acheté
Si vous avez de l'argent à mettre à la poubelle, c'est la bonne application pour ça, moi j'ai perdu tout prêt de 11$ pour cette merde. Regarder plutôt Itemshelf, vous ne serez pas déçu. J'ai vraiment l'impression de m'être fait voler avec cet achat
2015-01-04
Great!
Hey thanks for making this app! It's great! The scan feature sold me on it! The only I would add is a scan multiple titles option. I am going through my whole library and have to go back in every time..not awesome. But other than that I like it! Thanks!
2014-11-16
Great app
Easy to use, let's me keep track. Won't be purchasing books I have already bought again. In app upgrades needed but worth it
2014-08-27
This App is a good start
I like how this app finds the book and presents it in a book case by category. That's where my happiness ends. I would pay $2 for this. The backup and sharing is a joke, for which I'd like my money back. This function should save to a CSV file or spreadsheet on a PC. I think the backup was a last minute undelivered consideration. Plus, the pop ups don't stop, even after you've reviewed the app. Good concept, not finished yet.
2014-08-04
Disappointed
I thought this had potential
But you can only add 3 books then you need to log in on Facebook . Very sad .
2014-08-01
Rating very good
I was hoping to record manually a book that cannot be captured by the system. Otherwise very pleased so far with the program
2014-07-23
Good
It's a great app. But it doesn't work without the add-ons.
2014-07-14
Works really well
The scanner works great. Lists are easily exportable. Deducting only one star for the frequency of push alerts.
2014-05-24
Ne fait pas ce qu'elle devrait faire
Si j'écris le code ISBN elle le trouve mais le scan ne trouve jamais rien que ce soit anglais ou français et on nous fait payer pour cette fonction qui ne fonctionne pas, je demande un remboursement je d'installe cette application
2014-04-24
My books
Working well. Love the scanner.
2014-03-31
Good, but not amazing
In order to truly use this app, the add ons will be required.
/Pros - easy to use, most titles could be located, bar code scanner a nice feature, nice to see photo of book rather than just a written list
Would be nicer if:
- didn't have to click "scan barcode" each time
- was able to use camera to take a photo of books that couldn't be located in the system
- wish it had a count of the total number of books
- sorting them into categories takes a second step
2014-03-27
Good App!
It would be nice if we can have the total number of books that we have in our library. It's easier with the code bar but the ISBN works.You must buy it with the illimited edition. It would be nice too if we can reverse the scream because you can have only the vertical version. I have more than 500 cooking books and I recommend this app. Thank you.
2014-02-14
Excellent
I love this app. I have a large collection of quilting books and with this app I can avoid duplicate purchases. Bar code feature works really well and saves a lot of typing.
2013-11-03
Reviewing prematurely so the app will stop nagging me to do so.
I don't know if I like this app yet or not. I'm adding in the books I want to read and it keeps asking me to write a review, so I'm compelled to write this before I even have an opinion.
2013-09-02
The worst: crippleware.
Doesn't have 90% of the features it states without in-app purchases. Don't waste your time on it.

My Book List
There should be an ability to search the data.

Good app, has potential to be better
I am very fond of reading and decided to search for an app that would allow me to create reading lists, which lead me to this one. I enjoy it. It has been of use to me. If I may make a suggestion to the developer(s), to add multiple reading lists, as those who read different literature can curate lists according to categories. This would be very useful as it would be flexible and allow quicker access.
2013-07-22
Three Slots?
I was disappointed to find that to save more than three books to this list, I would have to upgrade to a paid version. I can't see this as being better than just keeping an old fashioned list on my notes page - useless app if you have more than three books you're interested in reading.
2013-07-11
My Book List
I really like this application, however I cannot get the bar scanner to recognize the books in my library, so each one has to entered manually by ISBN.
I would recommed this app, but ignore buying the bar scanner.
2013-06-07
A good one
My first book app and it is fine. Agree that having another stage to move books to after reading would be a help.
2013-02-14
Book list
Book covers came up very blurry really disappointed
2012-12-29
Ok
Neat app, but needs more organization options, especially for "books I have" "books I want" and "recommended reads"
2012-07-19
Good
It seems to be à good one
2012-05-12
Data base incomplete
Nice looking app but book data base very incomplete. How about giving us a full English version?
2011-12-04
Not very useful!
If I can't add books that are not recognized by the index.html then what's the point of this app?!?! To make this really good I should be able to add any book I want!
