Very useful

I've started the trial for the cloud version and the desktop version to see which I prefer. I might end up using the cloud version but still keeping the app on my phone as well as it's just more user friendly when in a book shop to open and check my library list.
Honestly out of all the apps I've used this one has been the easiest to get used to, add books to and navigate. As I've now gotten too many books that fit in my apartment I've found that it will be very useful to keep catalogues of what's in storage, what's in the apartment and what I keep at my office and lend out. — Monique Gomez (Australia) on Book Collector

Wonderful product

I'm delighted with both Book Connect and now CLZ Books. Initial setup worked well.
I've entered almost 3,500 books in the database, with about 500 more remaining. Collected over more than 60 years.
Thank you for producing, maintaining, and constantly improving such a wonderful product. — Les Bergen (USA) on Book Collector

I'm loving this program

I've been taking more time to input my books, both physical and digital, into Book Collector. I've had this program for years and have used it in spurts but now I'm putting time into it. Thanks for creating this way back when. I'm more than happy to have a subscription. Thanks for your improvements and making this the best option to catalogue my books — Phil S.

Love Bookcollector!

You guys are SO AWSOME!! I LOVE both the app and online, though I am using the app most of the time now. It is wonderful to be able to scan in new boioks and and notes, edit, wherever I am! I am happy to support!
I have been a very satisfied customer for many years. It is so useful and fun! I never fall behind in keeping my new book purchases entered because with the phone app I can do it in 30 seconds or less!
I LOVE being able to scroll through my book library by viewing the covers!While reading a book, I can add personal notes for future reference and to make the book more searchable for me later ( like a note as to who recommended the book to me)
AND whenever I am having a conversation and want to tell someone about a book that is relevant, I quickly do a search of my collection ( on the app), even if I can’t remember the exact title or author, usually a key word is enough to find it.
Would you believe that my personal library is over 4,500 books? I would be overwhelmed without the Bookcollector products. It is so fun to have the info available right at my fingertips on my cellphone! And to know it is safely stored on the cloud. But even if you only have 100 books (or comics or music), I highly recommend CollectorZ. Truly a great value from a wonderful thoughtful supportive company with years of expert development! — Anita O. (USA) on Book Collector

Couldn't be happier

Just wanted to drop by and let you know how pleased I've been with Book Connect and CLZ Books. I've been a Collectorz customer for several years, and couldn't be happier.
My collection has grown to 2125 books, and I don't know how I could manage without Collector.com software. I can't tell you how much money I have saved in a bookstore, being able to check whether I've already owned a book I was about to buy! — Ira Wexler (USA) on Book Collector

I LOVE, LOVE your product and have almost 600 books in my collection. I read almost every day and use it often. I also have it on my phone and tablet. What a great resource it is. — Gail (USA) on Book Collector

Useful software

I'm downsizing my collection of dictionaries and language books, and I have found Collectorz Books useful for recording what I am getting rid of. I have created a separate collection called "Deleted books", which are those I don't want any more, whether sold or not. I move books to this collection when I make the decision to get rid of them, and alter the collection status to "for sale". Once sold the status is changed to "sold". That way I can track them instead of wondering whether I have sold something or not! Users who want more detail could add fields such as "date sold" or how much it sold for. — Marty Pilott (New Zealand) on Book Collector

Great product

First up - really impressed with the rapid response from tech support - itwas much appreciated (how to add multiple authors to a book).
I've been using BookDB, which has been great, but remembering to export totxt and then copy to my phone so that I didn't buy duplicates in the 2ndhand book stores was getting tedious (you may have noticed I have a lot ofpre-ISBN books). So the search was on for something that would allow me tomaintain a sufficiently comprehensive database on my laptop and sync it tomy phone with minimal effort. Your team has delivered.
Mapping fields between BookDB and Book Collector took a bit of trial anderror (mark all as Skip Field, then go back and set correctly) and there area number of notes I'll have to port manually (eg first edition/signed byauthor/family connection, austerity printing c WW2, condition of bindingetc), but all in all, this is a great product - and the cost is extremelyreasonable - I've definitely spent more than that on a single book, so thepotential saving in avoiding duplicates is real! — Erika Edmondstone (Australia) on Book Collector

I recommend Collectorz to all the collectors I know and my father-in-law loves it for keeping track of his extensive book library. — Linda Fay (United Kingdom) on Book Collector

Book Collectorz is one amazing application!

I've been using it now for a few years to manage a 1000 book library collection for my quilt guild. What I really love is that the Collectorz team is constantly making improvements to the app that make it easier and faster for the user to manage their collection. The team is responsive and genuinely interested in what their users have to say about the program. The app is simple to use, and very intuitive. You can slice and dice your collection in any way you want to see what you have, and there are a lot of customizable fields if you have specific interests. The connection to "core" is flawless, and simply by putting in the ISBN from the back of a book you get all the information you need in seconds. The price is very reasonable for the value you get from this app.
While I haven't used their other products, I'm sure they are just as refined and useful. Thank you CLZ team, great job! — Mary Pimentel-Wheeler (USA) on Book Collector
