Many people still prefer to read physical books over digital versions, even
with the advent of devices like the iPad, for various reasons. Even in the
digital world, there are different platforms such as Apple Books and Kindle,
which can make it difficult to manage an entire book collection. Thats
where <https://simonemontalto.com/projects/book-track> Book Track comes in
with a tool that allows users to organize their entire library in one place.
If you like to read plenty of books from different places, Book Track can be
a useful app to track what youre reading. The app is independent from other
services and it works with a huge database, so you will probably find all
the books you need.
Once you open the app, there are two sections available: Library and Wish
List. They basically work the same way, but you can separate those books
youve read and those you still want to read. Adding the books to the app is
very simple and can be done through three different methods.
The first option is Search Online and, as the name suggests, it allows you
to search for any book by its title, author, or ISBN code over the internet.
I searched for a variety of books, ranging from the current to the oldest
ones, among different genres, and I was able to find them all. It works not
only with books in English, but also with versions from other countries as
well.
The second option allows users to scan the barcode of a book to
automatically add it to the app. I tested it with some Portuguese books I
have, and I was impressed that Book Track was able to identify them
correctly. Its a great option to optimize the whole process or just to save
a book you found in a store on your Wish List. However, if you cant find
your books in the app database, it offers an option to manually add them
with a custom cover, title, authors, and description.
You can add custom tags to each book, in addition to personal comments, and
also mark those youve already read. The custom tags feature works great
with search filters, which can show only books from a specific tag or
author. Another cool feature is that users can export a PDF or CSV list with
all their books, along with iCloud syncing between your devices.
Book Track is available on the
<https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1491660771> App Store for iPhone
and iPad for just $2.99 as a single purchase. The app is also available on
the <https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1496543317> Mac App Store as
Catalyst version that is sold separately for the same price as the iOS app.
