iBookshelf is NOT an eReader. You do not load actual books into this app. Instead, iBookshelf is designed to help you keep track of your personal book collection, whether your books are physical or digital copies.

Books are displayed sorted by your preference. You can search for books in your library, and enter a "loan status" to remember who you loaned the book to or borrowed it from. A new book can be entered automatically (enter ISBN and remaining data is loaded from the internet) or manually. It will even tell you where you can buy the book and how much it costs and where you can find a library with the book!

Customer Reviews

The best (5 stars)
I really love this app. There were a few minor crashes at first and I had a problem opening the app after an update. But tech support was out of this world! Support got back to me within minutes and continued to go back and forth with me until problem was solved. Now the app works better than ever and I haven't had any issues! I can't imagine not having this app!

Useful app (4 stars)
Could be a little more user-friendly/intuitive. But, definitely a great way to track books. I'm forever reading book reviews or getting recommendations of books to read from friends while I'm already in the middle of reading another book. This helps me keep track of all of those recommendations as well as keep track of those I've already read so I don't waste my time re-reading. Also helps me keep track of who a book belongs to or who I len

Great App (5 stars)
I love this app. I read a lot and it helps to keep up with the books I have read. I go to the library. This keeps me from rechecking books. Also it's great to keep up with the books you own and borrowed books. Easy to enter book information also.
