BookLover Book Lover is a book management app that you use alone.

I wanted to make it as simple as possible. No registration required. We do not connect to other servers except Naver and Aladdin servers that provide book search APIs. Since there is no membership registration itself, you can use it to your heart's content without worry. It also does not support social network functions with other users at all. I just wanted to make a great app for those who like books and enjoy it alone. Source code is also published on the developer's GitHub site. If you are interested, you can take the source code and add new features.

Currently supported functions are as follows.
-Book list display: Category search mode, full list search mode supported
-Sort book list: title, author, input date
-Book add: barcode scan, title search, direct entry
-Book deletion: Swipe action from the list to display the delete button
-Book editing
-Display language setting: English, Korean support
-Search API selection: Naver, Aladdin support
-Data backup / restore: MS Excel file format support
-Import ISBN file: Read and search the ISBN text file and save the result
-Delete entire database

Adding a book utilizes the mobile phone's camera function to scan the barcode and send the value to the book search API to receive and process the response. It also supports how to enter the title, author, and ISBN into the search box for processing. For older books without an ISBN number, you can add them directly from the input screen. Alternatively, it can be created and restored as an Excel file in the form of a backup file.

Book List supports two modes. It is a category search mode to move to upper and lower categories and a mode to search in the entire list. Both can be sorted forward or backward by title, author, and input date. The category browsing mode displays the number of books for each category. You can easily see how many books you have in each field.

For book management apps, the biggest problem is data backup / restore. To do this, you often have to sign up for membership or communicate with the server. BookLover Book Lover uses the Android phone's own storage folder for data backup. The file format also supports the MS Excel format that users can use most easily. If you edit the values ​​for each item in the Excel spreadsheet created by the backup command and execute the restore command again, the changes will be reflected.

There may be times when you want to import data from another book management app. To this end, BookLover book lover provides data import function. Each app cannot support all specialized field formats, so only text files consisting of ISBN numbers are supported. Simply place the file containing the ISBN number of the book you want to import into the BookLover app and place it in your Android folder, find the file location in the app, and run the import command.

BookLover Book Lover is a book management app. There are many missing features. There are quite a few features that will not be supported.

There is no reading management function. Do not record whether you have read it or not. I have no intention of applying in the future. If you don't remember what you read or don't remember what you're reading, you'd better read the book again. I don't even want to figure out how many books I read each month. There is no function to set and check reading goals. I think it would be better to just read and enjoy.

There is also no ability to manage book holding status. There is no wish list. M There is no list of books borrowed. There is no list of lost books. I used to develop an app that put all of these features in the past, but I wasn't rewarded with implementing complex features. We will not add side functions in the future.


There is no feeling of reading after reading a book or adding notes. What to say on the small screen of the mobile app to enter, I am frustrated and do not support it.

Naturally, there is no social network function, book advertising function. Just manage the book information you have. I'm worried that I'm going to be social and get only social pressure, and in fact, it's because the implementation of the function is a bit complicated and a lot of quality is involved.

Nevertheless, if you try using this app, and if you have any inconveniences or suggestions for improvement, please contact us. I try to grow as well as time and space allow.
