My new app Book Scanner, also known as Book Barcode Scanner is now available worldwide on the App Store.

Book Scanner scans ISBN-barcodes and finds the books on iBooks. The app remembers your scanned books and you can buy them on iBooks at your convenience. Scanning book barcodes is faster than a manual search and the it's very useful in bookstores and other places with a lot of books.

Book Scanner is available free on the App Store and is of course written in C# using the Xamarin stack. I've learned a lot while writing this app, and I will share some of it here on this blog.
