  • Great Work!

    I love this app. Every book of mine is easily catalogued, at no expense! I’m also thankful that there’s lists you can create to sort books into; I’m very organized when concerning my home library and the personalized lists add to the charm of the app. However, I have one qualm: a while back I deleted the app to make some space on my phone. I guess I automatically thought that my books would save, but when I re-downloaded it, I had to put my library and lists back in. It’d be great if there were a feature that allowed you to create an account, that way you could save everything through a cloud. Idk how that works. 😂 But over all, I really love this app and hope to see more done with it! It deserves more recognition.

  • Worth A Try

    Just downloaded this app because it had many more positive reviews than “To Read” which I was using before. I would like to see an easier way to add books to my list and import. It’s frustrating that to add a book, I cant just start typing; rather, I have to follow a five-step process: 1) click the plus sign, 2) select if I want to add manually or search online, 3) type in the name of the book I am looking for, 4) click the book I am looking for, 5) press “done” to add to list. It would be much easier to type in the name of the book and either click or swipe to add to my list. Adding many books at a time would be much faster that way and may bring more people to the platform that are already using other apps to track their reading.

    Additionally, I would also like to see this app sync with Evernote, Readwise, Pocket, Instapaper, Kindle and others.

  • Absolutely Fantastic

    I have a lot of books in my house that I’ve just forgotten about. This app keeps all of the titles in one place and shows me which ones I’ve already begun reading. There is a percentage bar that shows how far into the book you are and so far I have seen no limit to how many books you can add. I have encountered no ads which is amazing. The app is clean and neat with no confusion whatsoever. It is clear that this was made by a fellow reader, for fellow readers, not by a large money making company. This is helping me get back into reading, and it is fantastic.
    Thank you so much for making this app!

  • Helps Me Stay On Track

    Great app to help you stay on track with reading. This app has been wonderful in helping me follow through with my reading goals. The first year I used the app I managed to read 50 books since it was so exhilarating to see the percentage of book read increase. In the 2nd year of use, much more of life on my plate, the app, however, has been extremely helpful in keeping me a reader as it reminds me exactly how many days I’ve been reading a book. I never want to be on a book more than 2 weeks so it helps me stay on track with my reading. Aside from this, I’m able have several book lists which I have one for hard copy books and one for audiobooks. Finally, the app allows you to shelf which books you want to read which for me means never forgetting which books I want to read. 👍🏽👍🏽

  • Very happy so far...

    I haven’t seen any ads. The app is very straightforward and easy to figure out. I didn’t encounter any limits on adding books. I like how elegant it is. I felt like other book-tracking apps were over-complicated. The features were so layered and I drowned in them. It distracted from the goal of reading and took up too much time. I feel more productive with this app. The interface is very clear. At a glance I can see my progress on several books. I like that I can edit the information for books and add custom covers because I have a lot of old books that have no ISBNs and are hard to find for sale or listed online. Thank you very much to the developer! It’s an underrated skill to know just what to include in an app and not to have too much. Less is indeed more when it means that you’re not drowned in complexity or unnecessary features and can get your work (in this case, reading) done so efficiently. :)

    I just wanted to add that I’d love to see support for Roman numerals (they are usually used in the introductions and prefaces). I hope you consider adding that feature in the future. :)

  • Love it but want more out of it

    Hey guys,
    This is exactly what I wanted. A way to track what books I am reading and how far I am into it. It is oddly motivating to see the percent go up for every page your read. Every time my percent goes up I am more motivated to finish it. I love how you can say that you finished a book and have a finished book pile. The thing I want you guys to improve is on the note taking aspect. If you can make the note taking interface, I will love this app and consider it perfect. Please improve the note taking feature or add a better note logging feature. I highly suggest get this app as it keeps you motivated and organized.

  • Just What I Needed! 😁💕

    If you are looking for a way to keep track of your books, current reads or future reads than I HIGHLY recommend this app.

    Reading List is really incredible in what it does for being free. You can scan the barcode of your book and it’ll pop up on the main page. Then it allows you to categorize your books and keeps track of them as you read them. You can make certain personalized categorizes for your books into and label them as anything you’d like.

    This app in my opinion is definitely worth downloading even if just to try it out because for free, I can’t complain. I’ve only had it for a couple of days and knock on wood, it’s been add free. It was just what I needed. I cannot stress this enough, HIGHLY recommend. 😄💖

  • Good for tracking page you left off

    I'm always all over the place- sometimes I don't have enough time to finish a library book and the due date is up. So I return it. Then I borrow a new book and the cycle repeats. This app lets me keep track of books I have partially-read before and the page I left off. It's pretty simple to use and the barcode scanning makes things much quicker, and if that doesn't seem to work, searching online is just as quick. Rarely do I have to manually add a book. It also let's you add notes, which is a total game changer for me. I usually write down quotes I find interesting in the book or write a simple and brief conclusion. 5/5 stars, reccomended for readers~

  • Mostly fantastic, with one gripe

    I really love this app. It helps me keep track of the books I’m reading and that I want to read very easily. I go through a lot of books, and often would forget what I had read from week to week, and this app helps keep me organized and remember books from months back.
    The only thing I wish would change is that when you reread a book, you essentially have to erase the old entry in your history to accommodate for the new one, as the app doesn’t appear to understand what rereading is. For example, if I read “Frankenstein” in September and decided to reread it in November, the app would make me reset the entry to November, making it seem like I never read it in September. The way I get around this is by making a note of the dates, but I wish that the feature didn’t erase books you’ve read before. Other than that, it’s a great app that I use every day.

  • does not track rate of "currently reading"

    Goldilocks once again. In my seemingly endless search for an app that will track my reading progress, and by that i mean, daily reading habit, this is not what i was hoping for. Loved the clean and simple interface but was quite disappointed to discover it only tracks books you've read, want to read, or are currently reading. But does not track the rate at which you are reading a book. I know there are other apps that do it, but some are cumbersome to navigate and i wanted a separate one for reading i do for school. I really like the layout of this app and if it just had a little progress bar where i could enter my current page #, it would probably be my favorite and I'd give it 5 stars, seems like it would be a cooke extra feature but maybe it wasn't in the designers plan.
