As much as I wanted to LOVE this software, it quickly begins to show it's flaws. The software itself appears very dated, looking like an ancient Windows 95/98-type application, losing all of the features we're learned to become used to in software over even the last decade. Even simple features like "Snapping" to a screen are missing. The templates also appear very 90's/early 2000's PC-inspired, as if to match Windows XP's look (which, in the time of Windows 11.. isn't great)
Support is significantly lacking. I've contacted support on 3 occasions (as a paid customer) and have never received a response from them.
Features of the software work sometimes.. connecting to services to download book details is great, but it doesn't always work. Sometimes it will pull the wrong book (even when using ISBN), other times it pulls no results. The worst, however, is that a recent update fully removed any Amazon integration (which was probably the most well-featured service, as it downloaded details like pricing, images and more)
Other book details are never downloaded and need to be manually entered, such as book dimensions.
Phone apps are also an additional cost, which is unfortunate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the All My Books software because I can archive, organize, and keep track of my collection of print, audio, electronic books, or a combination of all three through a flexible, easy-to-use interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software helps to manage small libraries, when the libraries are too big the software falls short in terms of operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Besides cataloging books or publications and being able to locate them quickly, I have access to different functions that go beyond adding and searching, for example I can transfer to a particular folder or location, I have a loan history, it allows me to backup, compress and print, see the list of what I have read or I still need to read and I can add my personal marks.

I like this database very much for its versatility, ease of use and multiplicity of options. It is a tool of excellence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is extremely pleasant, easy to use, easy to understand, modern and very useful to maintain the order and control of books, audio books and electronic books. I incorporate the publications from my PC, manually or I can do it by entering the IBSN either individually or in batches. Another thing that I like is that I have different options such as being able to rate the book, add if I have read it, if I want to buy it, if I have borrowed it or if it has been returned to me and many, many other things.

I had not found a database and book organizer so good until I found All My Books. With the greatest of sincerities, it seems perfect to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing I can say about All My Books is that it is extraordinarily simple to use. The ability to create multiple databases can be done with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This software is only focused on catalogs and not patron's accounts. Being able to manage both in the system would have been optimal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
