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."

I'm quite impressed with CLZ books. It is well thought out and easy to use. Having entered over a thousand books thus far, the ISBN and author/title searches generally work very well. Data can be simply edited as needed. The ability to search and also add tags to books is very handy. The cloud syncing makes it easy to move between an Android phone and an iPad. I've tried a number of times to organize our books with other S/W, but this is definitely the best I've used.

I love the app & the huge range of functionality. Only thing that really bothers me is that it doesn't ignore "the", "a", etc at the beginning of titles so the alphabetizing is atypical of traditional standards. I either have to manually "fix" all the titles as I enter, which wastes much time, or spend more time searching later. Not a deal breaker for me, just annoying, since everything else is excellent.

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!
