CLZ USERS ABOUT CLZ BOOKS:

"A fantastically nice book library app that I am incredibly happy with, you really get an overview of the things that need to be sorted out, for a good overview, easy to use and everything works seamlessly. Strongly recommend."
Emmanate (Norway)

"The best I have found. I have over 1200 books and have used a number of book cataloging apps over the years. CLZ Books does the job of keeping track of my library and gets syncing right. Most importantly (speaking as a software developer) they keep improving the app. It’s tough to make a business of niche software products. These folks have apparently figured out how to make a go of it and they keep improving. Kudos to them!"
LEK2 (USA)

"This is THE ONE. I have a lot of books, and I have been looking for a very long time for a great library cataloging app. A friend of mine showed me this one and… Yes. This is it. So easy to use, so easy to add books and create collections, add covers, anything you want to do. I love it I love it I love it.
Also Customer Service is absolutely terrific."
OolooKitty

"I first gave 5 stars to this in 2018. In 2024, it still delights. If I could give more I still would now. Such a useful book database app which is constantly being improved.
I have had occasion to contact them a couple of times and they have always been courteous, friendly and immediately helpful. I can thoroughly recommend."
Mark Maffey

"This is the best book cataloguing application and the mobile version is a god send with the ability to scan ISBN bar code."

I have collected books since I was very young so let's say 45 years. I have started and stopped cataloging my collection at least 10 times over the last 15 years. Created access and excel programs only to give up on it due to it being cumbersome. I have tried other apps over the last couple of years only to lose data along with other issues. This time I did trials on different apps and landed on CLZ Books. This was the best thing I could have purchased for my books. Absolutely fantastic!

This is, by far, the best organization app for my books I've ever used. It pulls resources from every place it's able I've got over 1400 books I've added location labels and sort order. If you're a book lover, the yearly cost is 100% worth it, it's saved me when I had a bookcase collapse! I've shared this app with family, friends and strangers, I love the online availability, I can create separate lists, sort different ways. I pull up the app while I'm shopping to keep me from buying dups!

This app has been phenomenal for me over the last year (& some change)! It was recommended to me by someone who I chatted about books with a lot, after being mentioned in passing as a way she kept her own library (& urge to organize) in check. When I had a big move coming up, I asked her to remind me the details, and if she thought it was worth the subscription costs, and she enthusiastically did so. Despite the recent increase in annual cost, this epic tool has been a life (& wallet) saver!
