Leave a Review Reading List
Pro version too high
I love this app much better than Goodreads but I simply can’t afford the pro version which is my only complaint. Maybe develop a sync across all device version for $4.99 and I would definitely be all in! The only issue is when you import from Goodreads, none of your book covers are there. It’s taken me hours to upload the book covers. I don’t want my reviews on social media because I’ve been attacked for leaving a 2 star review. My books, my opinion, my business. I can write whatever I want in this app and then I know if I want to bother with that author again. ❤️ this app. Please consider a cheaper mid-pro version for all of us seniors!Show lessLucy30161
Love it - needs a bit more info to organize
I love this app to organize my massive library and wish lists. It makes things very easy to organize and track in a very simple interface. I would love to have a ‘location’ tag to track where the book is located - eg Kindle, Audible, Hardcopy, etc. I haven’t figured how to do this except to create another list for each one. It would be cool to import from kindle, iBooks, audible, etc, but I haven’t figured out how to export those using csv easily, so manually adding will have to do for now. I’m sure the big dogs don’t want to make this easy for anything but their apps - which are not as easy to use as this.Show lessbeckabeck120
Best Book Tracking App!!
Love this app so much!! I do have Goodreads and I keep it so I can see my friends books and they can see mine, but other than that I only use Reading List. I love the simplicity of the app, whereas I find Goodreads to be kind of visually cluttered if that makes sense. I would rather have simplicity and organization than an abundance of recommendations and reviews so this app is perfect for me! Its design is simple and clean—it makes finding books and making lists so incredibly easy! I love the feature of being able to scan the barcode to find books, especially if you have a special edition of a book you want to add. Even the fact that you can add books manually is super cool! (Although I haven’t used that feature yet.) And being able to customize my lists and easily sort the books in them is huge also. And lastly, although there are many different features you could add to this app, I think it’s great how it is :) Definitely the app I will be using to track all of my reading, so glad I found it!! ❤️📚Show less💜 CLP 💜
Big Fan after 7 months
A passing comment on Facebook led me to this app. It is so user-friendly; I have been able to adapt it to my own style on both my iPad and iPhone. I have recommended it to numerous book club friends as well. I purchased the pro version so that I could add books from any location or device. I am highly pleased with the Reading List app. Would be fun if there were a way for users to share how they organize, maybe on a blog. There is still one feature that I would like to see added. I emailed Andrew and he agreed with me so I am still waiting for that update. Because I do not waste my time on books that I am not enjoying, I set up a DNF section. But to get rid of that book in my reading list I must hit the Finish button which lumps them all together. Did Not Finish needs to be a separate option.Show lessDonette1957
I love this app BUT…
In all honesty, I’m a huge fan of this app. I read a lot of manga and having the ability to add multiple books to my list at once is a great newer feature. I had the app for 10 minutes and bought the pro upgrade immediately lol. I’ve had this app for a while now and still love it. However…
I realize that the only thing that is having me look into switching to another app is the fact that this one isn’t on Mac yet. I like having the ability to access my books from whatever device I’m on and having this on Mac would be the thing to keep me here. Also maybe having different ways that the books show up in a list. For example having a grid style display so we can more clearly see the beautiful covers of the books.Show lesstreg123
Simple, powerful, focused on the right stuff
I am a long time Goodreads user getting increasingly frustrated by the “noise” of the app— the number of screens I have to go through in order to enter or find a book, the intrusion of other people’s comments, the invitations to vote on new books. This application is a just exactly what I was looking for— a way to keep track of my reading, privately, so I can enter thoughts without sharing them, and remember books from long ago— and not turn reading into an AI driven contest. Thank you! I spent a happy afternoon transferring ten years of data from Goodreads to your app. Goodreads doesn’t have Google data, so it was challenging to get the meta data in, but I perservered!
I’m sure this is WAY off your radar, but I would love it if you one day added the option to keep track of watched movies and TV series— there are NO options that do that simply. I would also love to know what you have planned for the future— is there a timeline? Thanks for the excellent app.Show lessshelley181
Love this app!
I’m a prolific reader and have a massive library (654 physical books and over 300 e-books!). Not only does this app help me keep track of what I’ve already read but I also love the ability to create custom lists. I would frequently double purchase books because I forgot I read it already or owned it already. Now a quick search tells me if I already own the book I’m looking at.
I can also create lists by genre and browse my library to decide on what I’m going to read next without getting up from my couch.
Also love the feature where I can mark where I am in a book by page number. I hate dog-earring and there’s a black hole in my house that eats my bookmarks.Show lessBecktriad
Almost 5 stars
I LOVE this app. I love that you can create a widget onto your homepage showing the progress of books that you’re reading. I also like that you can create your own tags to organize your books. I wish they would add in 3 things: 1) a way to take books off of your currently reading list onto a “did not finish” list. 2) a feature to track audio books. This could be chapter/ total chapters or hour/total hours. 3) a goodreads integration. Or maybe being able see what your friends are currently reading. I think that would really take this app to the next level.Show lessMadHattaBG
Just what I was looking for
For literally several years, I looked for an easy to use app that simply recorded books read and hope to read. I am so very pleased with this app. It is so easy to use and efficiently keeps track of books in the 2 categories I care about...to read and finished. Being able to add personal notes is a welcome feature. I love the option of searching online and immediately seeing the summary and other information about the book. I would like to be able to send information to my friend, but only seem to be able to send one title at a time. I have not been able to figure out how to select more than one book. However, I still rate this as 5 star. Thank you.Show lessWritervt
I love this app!
I just started reading more recently and I wanted some way to keep track of everything, but Goodreads and similar apps were all kind of overwhelming and clunky and I had trouble wanting to use them. And then I found this app! It’s so simple and streamlined and extremely easy to use, while still having all the features I wanted (I’m especially happy about the barcode reader!). I was even happier when I found out the pro version is a one time payment instead of a subscription and I am very much considering paying it simply because I love the app so much and want to support it. There really isn’t anything major locked behind a paywall! This app was exactly what I wanted and thank you so much to the dev for making it!!Show lessJocey K
