Leave a Review Reading List
I love this app!
I have many reasons for loving this book list app. First of all, unlike Goodreads, I can keep it private. I imagine most people don’t want friends or family passing judgment on everything they choose to read. Second, this app allows me to easily add books. I can search for them, and if they aren’t there, add them myself. I love rating what I’ve read and being able to comment so that I remember more about a book and why I rated it the way I did. Third, the developer is incredibly responsive. If you suggest a change to improve the app, consider it done. Thank you so much!Show lessNettopie@home
This is what I was looking for!
Tried so many different book tracking apps, but they either required a subscription or had too many features. I was looking for something with an attractive design where I could purely just track my reading. THIS IS IT! Thank you - it has everything I would want in a book tracking app. This app makes me want to read more and helps me keep track if I’m reading multiple books at once! Also love that I can create a “to read” list as I’m constantly getting recommendations I forget to write down and never end up reading haha. This app is exactly what I was looking for thank you for keeping it simple and clean!!Show lessSounds asleep
Love this book tracking app!
I just downloaded this app to keep track of all the books I’ve read, listened to, bought for my dad, etc. and it’s allowing me to keep track of everything I need via separate lists. I love how you can name your own lists and don’t have to use pre-fab ones, so thanks to the developer for that flexibility! I love that I can scan a books ISBN and all the info pops up or enter it manually, exactly what I needed!! And it really is free with no ads! I’m going to be purchasing to pro version so I can use this on my iphone and ipad, which will be really convenient. Thanks to the developer for creating an app that helps a book nerd like me track all the things I love to know about each book I’ve read and want to read, this is the only app I need, so relieved to finally have found the right one after trying so many others 😊Show lessagilmore8
Great for fiction, meh for non-fiction
I LOVE this app. I’m a grad student doing research and preparing for qualifying exams. Thus, I read a lot of non-fiction in the topic areas I study. As my fellow scholars know, topic area books are often edited chapters by various authors on various topics and are organized categorically not linearly. Sometimes I only need to read one specific chapter of a book. The % finished metric doesn’t make sense in these cases. It’s be more useful to have a list of chapter titles (with authors) and a check-box feature to track the ones I’ve read.
Otherwise I LOVE the barcode scan feature and the web search for old titles with ISBNs but no barcodes.
I read a lot of fiction too and it’s just perfect for this!Show lessHewo kiddy
THE BEST BOOK APP
I love this app so much, I’ve been trying to figure out a way to track my reading and this is awesome. I came from this app after maxing out the free Bookly app, which only lets you log like ten books???! This one however is fantastic! It’s so much easier to use, unlimited, and more user friendly. It doesn’t have all the fancy stats and timers and things, but honestly you really don’t need all that. This app is free, functional, and has a simple but attractive aesthetic. There are no ads or subscriptions, just the option to leave a tip. I don’t really have much to give, but hopefully a good review is still helpful because whoever made this app is my new bestie💕Show less_MissMiki_
Love this app!
Found this app after going through multiple others and finding them too complicated or too simple. It took a few days to figure out how to use like with the order of books you enter. Once I got it I became obsessed with putting in everything I own including Audible and Kindle books. Love the ability to make my own categories. Also love the backup and restore features which give me some security if I lose or break my iPads. Also like the option to sync over multiple devices. And with all that, the app is free. Encourage others to “tip” the developer which is found under the settings tab. Thank you for all the obvious time and effort put into this app. Keep coding! Would love to know about any other things you’ve done!Show lessDeborah623
This App is Sent from Heaven.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this app. I had been looking for an app to track my reading on for months, but they all were either paid or had a limit on the number of books I could keep track of. I was losing hope and had resigned myself to my primitive organizational system (keeping a list on the notes app in my phone) when I stumbled across Reading List. I was ECSTATIC. This app is easy to use, free, pleasing to look at, and has all my favorite books. It’s a book-lover’s dream app. I have recommended it to everyone I know, even if they don’t read. This app is an absolute MUST.Show lessCaitlin Fitzgerald
Top Tier!
Think about your priorities here: Are you simply looking for a place to keep a list of books you wanted to read, books you’re reading, and books you’ve read? Then this is the app you’re looking for.
Apps like bookly are exhausting, and i uninstalled it immediately because they constantly pushed subscriptions in your face. They even expected you to pay for a reading wishlist!! This App thrives on simplicity and it greatly caters to those who have the simple goal of tracking their reading.
As for feedback, Andrew (the developer), i’d recommend perhaps having the option to set goals for book reading? Or to separate finished books by year? This would help people even further in their own reading goals, especially if they’ve owned the app for more than a year. Otherwise, there are absolutely zero issues with the app.Show lessFreebeatz
More features
I just downloaded this app and I really love how clean and well designed it is, and appreciate that there aren’t ads cluttering up the space. It does what it’s meant to do. However, I actually found this because I was looking for an app where I can create a calendar view of books and goal dates, which doesn’t really seem to exist. So, for example, if my library book is due back on a certain date, how many pages per day do I need to read to meet that date? And if I can’t read one day, adjusting those numbers so I still meet the due date. I’d love to see a feature like this added. I also noticed I could only sort books to the top or bottom, but it would be nice to be able to move them up or down anywhere in the list — maybe I’m doing something wrong. In its current state this app is similar to how I use Goodreads, so without added features I’m not sure it makes sense for me to use both apps.Show lesskalthoffdesign
Developer Response
Thanks for the review! I do agree there are many more features that the app would benefit from - I’m developing new features as fast as I can. One quick note, though - it is possible to reorder your books beyond the “move to top/bottom” actions: just tap Edit and use the drag indicator on the right to drag each book up or down. Hope that helps!Great app
Edit: I didn’t realize this, but this app DOES have the option to move multiple books into lists at once, which makes this app 6+ stars in my book! Thank you to whoever made this!!!
Does exactly what it needs to do and very little more. While I’d love a few features like the ability to select and move/organize multiple titles, this app is much more pleasant to use than Goodreads, and it’s private. I’m not one for comparisons or peer pressure, and the ability to do exactly what I want without comment is one that I treasure.
This app gives me that. I can quickly and easily scan books, and if the barcode doesn’t scan, the app searches the ISBN and pulls up results. I’ve never had an issue adding even obscure or older books.
I can add the same book to multiple lists. I have a list for my reading goals and will be making more for specific attributes like genre and length.
Perfect little app. All the features of other reading apps with no ads, no clutter, no premium features. I will definitely be tipping the creator often.Show lessArghhhhghhh
