...you can avoid all that old-fashioned manual typing if you just use the automatic barcode scanner denoted by a down arrow at the bottom right of your opening screen! Wow..this method is so quick and accurate, brings up the exact book you hold in your hands and places it neatly on your wood bookshelf, after you have saved it! I'm impressed with BookLover because not only is that a neat trick, but it has saved me a bunch of time in manual input.
I am awarding it the Truly Cool Seal of Approval because the app is comprehensive, well crafted, attractive and easy to navigate.

BookLover lets you keep a catalog of the books you own along with notes for each. It presents it all nicely in a wooden bookshelf not dissimilar to Apple’s own iBooks app.
You can share bits of info through the app with friends, and keep track of who has borrowed what book. BookLover costs 99 cents.

During my test period with the BookLover, I added about 12 books to see just how many it would be able to come up with book cover art for and, surprisingly, every single time it brought up the appropriate one. Additionally, during manual entry, I didn’t even have to add an author name, just a title, and it was able to easily fill in the blanks.
