Track your book collection

Use Book Tracker to keep tabs on your books and reading habits

- Craig Grannell

You can manage a book collection in many ways. Book Tracker (booktrack.app) is one that feels tailor-made for Apple devices, and it can help you organise both physical and digital books.

This tutorial shows how to use the iPad version, but the process is much the same on iPhone and Mac. Book Tracker's cross-device nature can be a boon too. Data syncs via iCloud, which means you can use an iPhone to quickly scan items and check a collection on the go and later use an iPad or Mac for heavier editing tasks.

Our walkthroughs here get you started. But if you like the app, do explore its other features, including backup/restore, export, and seriously detailed statistics for people who really want to track their reading!

You can add/view five items for free to get a taste for what the app can do. After that, you'll need a one-off lifetime purchase (no ads or subscriptions) - £14.99 on iPhone/iPad; £19.99 for the Mac version.

HOW TO Add new items >

Scan a barcode

Tap '+' and then 'Scan barcode (camera)'. Hold a book's barcode in front of your device's camera until it's recognised. You can scan multiple items in one go. Tap the cover preview and then 'Add all' to add the books to your library.
