Leave a Review Reading List
Excellent but one slight issue
I’ve been keeping track of my books in a digital planner which for a lack of better words is super annoying. I really wanted an app that would allow me to quickly find what I was looking for that didn’t entail me taking my iPad with me wherever I went. I was so happy to have found this app. Being the slightly anal person I am I decided to add the 103 books I red from 2022. That went off without a hitch except for the date started field kept changing back automatically to Jan 2, 2022 regardless of what date I put in. I found this to be annoying. I did resolve the issue by putting in the completion date first then the start date. Is it a glitch? Not sure but I do believe this app does deserve 5 stars.Show lessStaceala
Best App for readers I’ve ever found
I wish this app had existed in 1960 when I first started reading. There’s so much value in recording what you read, keep an electronic file of your entire library and tracking your progress through a book. I’ve always read several books at once so this App makes it easy to keep track of progress (even if I lose a bookmark) and keeps me focused on finishing. Also love the easy ability to scan or lookup new tires.
This is a fantastic app for readers. I could say much more, but I simply love it and any who would rather live their life in books will too.Show lessRicoAtl
Wonderful!
I just found this app and it’s now my go-to for my TBR lists. I like the simplicity and ease of keeping this app updated. I love love LOVE the Cloud sync option! I finally can keep my “what’s next to read?” list sorted. The things I can do in this app match exactly what I want to do. I’m so very pleased with this app; it’s now in my top 5 of favorites. After I put all my “to be read” books in the app, I was finally able to delete the overly complicated Goodreader app. I’m so enamored with this app I bought the Pro version. Kudos, congratulations and thanks to the developer. Count me as another [completely] satisfied customer.Show lessMickey330
A treat for those disenfranchised…
I started using Reading List maybe 6 months ago. I was searching for a digital way to store my ever evolving tbr list, while compiling lists of books that I have collected (lovingly & haphazardly) for 30 years. I’ve spent many a dollar on paper mementos from bygone eras & yet more times than not, I’m literally lost in a bookstore wondering “Do I have this edition? Do I have it in paperback, hardcover, signed, limited edition?” And yes I’ve bought multiple copies of many (my local library loves to see me donate). So you can understand why when I began cataloging my personal library to a digital format, I downloaded 3 or four free apps to test to see which would best suit my long term needs. After several tries, I kept two, because yeah I like having a backup plan. Reading List was one of my final and now is my only reading list/biblio type app. The developer, Andrew, actually replied to my app user feedback email. And he is responsive on Twitter to followers of the app. In a world where service and help is no longer a courtesy but is usually rendered by ever infuriating automation, it was nice to see the actual human interface of this app, caring for his product. I hope this review though long, helps this young developer’s dream. It certainly helped my disorganized collection of books. Many thanks!Show lessdsgruntledgenx
Love this app, but a couple suggestions
I purchased the full version as this app and it is a life saver to keep my read books and to be read books in order.
I was curious about a few options/wishlist requests:
- Can you add a feature to add more than one image? I will search to add a book but find there are different covers. I’d like to add the one I have & the updated/different versions. Also I’d like to add the back cover as well.
- Can you make it so you can enlarge the picture by clicking on it?
- Can you change the date option back to the calendar versus the the wheel option?
- Can you put the number of books read to the graph? The graph isn’t the easiest to figure out the exact number of how many are read that year.
- Can there be an option to add the ISBN-10 for those that don’t have an ISBN-13 that I can find?
Thank you for all your hard work on this app! I couldn’t keep my reading/read list straight without it!Show less2badithappened
Reading List
Good tool to keep track of books read by year/category or other desired method to organize. Would like the ability to text a title or list of completed books to/from colleagues to add directly to my list. Would also be good to have a ‘group’ function to share titles with other users and compare progress on books. Overall helps me build a record of books I’ve completed to share with others or re-read later. Book reviews and versions would also be a welcome update. Many books have been revised and would want option to look for original publications to find specific books.Show lessmwiney
Love this but a couple requests
I love this app. It helps me remember to finish books I got distracted from for some reason and helps keep me on track. I even upgraded to help support the one man teams. Seems like a labor of love not a money maker and as an avid reader I wanted to support that. However, I have two requests: 1) I know it tracks how long you took to read a book but I’d love it to track the number of days you actually spent reading it I.e. the number of days you updated the current page or percent done. Like it took you 300 days to read it but during those 300 days you only actually read on it for 5 days. 2) I read a lot on the internet specifically fan fiction. I’d love a way to track that even if I have to put in the author’s name, word count/page number, and website myself; and then track my progress like with books. Thanks keep up the good workShow lessLove to Track
I LOVE THIS APP
I use this everyday when reading, it is basically one of the best apps I ever have gotten, I have told all my friends and family members about it, and they have downloaded it and like it too. One thing that I really enjoy about it, is that when you put in your page number on that certain book you are reading, it gives you the percentage you through. When downloading this app, I was contemplating it, because the pictures show it like it is an app where you read the books online, and I DO NOT like reading ebooks. But I decided to give it a try, and I am soooooooo glad that I did!!! Even though the pictures when downloading are a little confusing, I am still giving it five stars.Show lessycuxufxuyci
Great Tracker
This is one of the best apps on my phone. In light of all the garbage going on in the world I decided I needed to read more books and quit watching the news. Because I don't read very diligently, I needed something to help me track my progress and keep me honest. This app does that perfectly. I get a visual of how I'm doing and it allows for reading multiple books at once. Only one complaint (kind of a first world problem); when I go to update what page I'm on the app makes me highlight and delete the previous page number and then enter my updated number. Before, the app automatically had the previous page number highlighted and all I had to do was enter the new page number. This doesn't completely ruin my day but I liked the old way better 🫤Show lessAmy’s Mac 13
Simple, efficient, & the best thing since white bread! ;)
I love this app!!! It helps me keep track of what I’ve read, what I want to read, what I need to buy, which series I’m reading & want to keep up with, & more. You can create lists that fit what you want to know, add notes about each book. You can keep track of how long it takes you to read a book or which & how many books you’ve read in your life time. It is so simple to use, just scan the barcode of the book, import the info from the internet or type it in yourself. There are no adds & if you change devices just export the lists to a spreadsheet which can be imported to your new device. (I think I’m explaining that correctly. I haven’t had to do that yet so idk.) I really do love this app. It is so easy to use & saves so much time that I can spend reading. Oh & I love the app so much that I decided to leave this review which no one asked for (except apple’s prompt asking if I like the app & did I want to give stars or a review, that’s it.) - Stephanie :)Show lessjinmyjy
