Catalogging quilt book collection
I would like to find an app that would use my IPhone and IPad to catalog my quilt book collection (hoard lol). I would hope for something that I could use the camera to scan the ISBN and it would then find the book to add to the list. In a perfect world it would let me add information like where I have the book stored. I don’t have the time to type in all the titles in a spread sheet but using my phone would make the project do-able. Do any of you wonderful smart people use a program like this? Any and all ideas are appreciated.

Oooh, what a great idea! I hope someone knows how to do this. I found this online but have no idea whether it's a good option. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...phere.bookfree

You can edit it to suit your needs.

LibraryThing.com is a great website for cataloging your books. They also have an app that shares the data. It’s free for a small library of books. Once you outgrow the initial allotment, there is a minimal fee.

Your suggestions were very helpful. They sent me to some additional apps as well. I think I found one that will work the way I want. It’s called Book Buddy Pro. It’s in the App Store. For books only it’s $4.99 which is not to bad. You can upgrade it to include music or music and movies. I will try to post again after I have installed it and tried it.
