Description
BooksApp helps you organize your home library effortlessly. Scan the barcode of a book and all its information is downloaded from the web and saved to your phone automatically¹. You can then easily keep track of your books.To lend a book to someone, scan it (or open it from the list), press "Lend book" and select your friend. When a month has passed, you will get a notification to remind you where the book is. If you have a book you want to recommend to a friend, you can do that over SMS, e-mail or Facebook etc.
You can organize your books into collections, e.g. "Favorites", "Reading now" or whatever tickles your fancy.
Finding more books is trivial. You can search for books by the same author or publisher, or books dealing with the same subject, all without typing a single character. Saving any of the matches to your phone is just one tap away.
You can export books in two ways, either as a spreadsheet—which you can send to anyone—or to Google Docs². The spreadsheet is a CSV (Comma-separated values) file that you can open in any spreadsheet program. You can also send the file to other BooksApp users, both Android and iPhone users.
Importing books is done by opening a CSV file from an e-mail or from the file manager.
BooksApp exists for iPhone as well, see www.books-app.com for more information.
Happy book organization! :-)

¹) Should the book not exist amongst Google Books vast amounts of books, you can always enter it manually.

222 It works great on my cellphone but the barcode scanner won't work on my Asus Transformer TF300T tablet. Please fix. I will give it 5 stars if it will work on my tablet.

Love this but need export Got an error when searching for the paid exportable version. Original list price, if not real-time used pricing, along with ability to post books for sale, would rate 5 stars!

Love it but.... Love this app. Does what is says and I love the way it is set up. However it needs copy button instead of sending as a spread sheet. Would also love to have this on my laptop computer. But over all a brilliant app

Great app! Exactly what I was looking for. Thought I had to scan all books, but search function is easier to find and save books with pics! Love it! Thanks!
