Book Barcode Scanner
The Book Scanner app quickly scans book barcodes (ISBN) and locates the books on Apple Books or other sources. By simply holding up a book's barcode to the iPhone's camera, the app automatically scans it. Book Scanner keeps a record of the scanned books, allowing users to conveniently purchase them on Apple Books. Upgrading to the Premium version provides access to numerous other sources such as Amazon Kindle, Google Books, and the Norwegian National Library. Users can customize the ordering of these sources to create a personalized experience. The app is useful in various settings, including bookstores, personal libraries, and anywhere users come across interesting books. Key features include fast barcode scanning, the ability to buy Apple Books directly within the app, a history function for saving scanned books, and the option to share scanned books with friends. Book Scanner also offers assistance for managing citations, with the ability to export book details in different formats like plain text, BibTeX, or Markdown. Additional features include a Today Widget for quick access to the latest scanned book and a flashlight option for scanning in low light situations.
