  • Excellent Reading Tracker, but!

    The app is excellent, flawless, and easy to use and has greater functionality than Goodreads, BUT as someone who’s been using the latter for more than a decade, I’d say I can’t be too sure about switching unless the app could provide a way to link my Goodreads account to here, then I’d gladly give it 5 stars
  • This App…

    I’m sorry that I had to give you a two star review, but I was just looking at the app. I have to say, it’s a very splendid idea, but you need to upload more to it. I read a lot of books and I need to be able to add these books easily and this app hasn’t made it very easy. I can give you a few books I looked up that you didn’t have. You only had one of the Diary of a Sixth Grade Ninja, no Percy Jackson, no Buster, and no Riders of the Realm. That is only the touch of what I have looked up. Maybe you could add a way for your app buyers to add books, but right now, somebody’s falling behind. I would really like it if you could find a way to have ALL of the books. And I mean ALL OF THEM. I have somebody who wants me to use this app to keep track of all of my books, but I just CAN’T when I cannot find them! So I give you my personal opinion, and hope you can make it better, sincerely, Annabeth Chase.
  • Great Tracking App

    Ive been keeping track of my books using Notes app for a couple of years now. Recently found out about this app and it has literally transformed the way I manage my TBR list and bookshelf. I’d love to see a suggestions feature in the app for books I should look into reading based upon my interests other than that it’s perfect. :)

    Thank you very much for your positive review!
  • Great app for keeping tracks of books you read

    This app is great. I used to keep track of books by typing them in Notes- now they’re all in this app, with a pic of the book. There are minor snafus like when I looked up a translated Russian novel; the app couldn’t find the translation but found the original Russian. That’s OK. I just need to keep track that I read the book. Also getting the ISBN number through the app is hit or miss but you can input it manually and look it up online so I really appreciate this app. If you are a reader, this is a big help.

    Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! I am thrilled to hear that the app has made it easier for you to track your books, especially compared to using Notes. Regarding the search results for translated works and the ISBN lookup feature, I really appreciate your feedback. I am always working to improve the app’s accuracy, and your input helps guide me in the right direction. In the meantime, I am glad that the manual input option has been helpful for you. If you have any other suggestions or run into any issues, feel free to reach out—I am here to help! Happy reading! 📚✨
  • Import csv

    Hope to support the import of csv files exported from the software calibre ebook management, and the corresponding title, author, tag, isbn, formats, comments publisher and other corresponding information can be imported.

    The relevant information of imported or manually entered books is incomplete. Whether the function can be added is to update the book Metadata information in the RLT in batches online.

  • Wow - great app and responsive developer

    Previously I was using Bookwise. However, this app has some features Bookwise doesn’t. It allows you to create custom collections of books, and easily add notes. The book details are much more full featured and I love being able to look at collections.

    Also - the developer is super responsive. I let him know I wanted to be able to add books that I had finished - and set a completion date. He added the feature!!!!!

    This is my new go to reading tracker.

    Thank you so much for your positive feedback! I am thrilled to hear that you love the details, notes section, and ease of adding books to your collections. I understand that the small font size when typing in book or collection names can be a struggle, and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I am working on making improvements, including a font adjustment option, to enhance your experience. Stay tuned for future updates, and thanks for helping me make the app better!
  • Frustrating

    The search algorithm is dreadful. I'm trying to transfer my Amazon Kindle purchases. I can’t scan an ISBN, so I’m copying and pasting, but it can't find about half of the books. I have a lot of Joyce Carol Oates’s books, so entering the author’s name should bring them up. You’d think so, but nope. My results are *about* Joyce Carol Oates. I got the same useless results for Neil Gaiman and Sigid Undstet. A reasonable search would show their novels, and here’s a thought - give me related suggestions! What reader isn't always looking for something else to read‽

    A reminder to read is absurd. I don't know anyone who needs to be reminded. Everyone I know is more likely to need a reminder to stop reading. When I wake up in the morning, I immediately want to return to my Kindle or the news. If you want this to be useful for heavy readers, you’ve got to make it easier to enter the data, and there needs to be a reason to use it, like generating suggestions. Otherwise, I can just screenshot my Amazon purchases and shopping list.

    Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. I understand your frustration with the current search functionality, and I am pleased to let you know that I've recently enhanced the search capabilities to now support searches by title, author, and ISBN. This should make it easier for you to find and add your books, including those by Joyce Carol Oates, Neil Gaiman, and Sigrid Undset. I am also excited to share that I am actively working on a recommendation system. My goal is to provide you with personalized book suggestions that complement your reading interests, making your experience with the app even more valuable. Your input is incredibly valuable to me, and I am committed to making the app more useful for avid readers like you. If you have any more suggestions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your feedback! :)
  • Excellent reading tracker

    I really like all of the features this tracking app offers. A couple of things would make it even better. When adding a new book using barcode scan, some fields may not be picked up from the scan. It would be helpful to highlight the required fields, e.g., Author, before Save button could be turned on. Also, being able to sync across devices would be a great addition. Overall, a clean and crisp tracking app for reading. 👍
  • Number of pages?

    I just used this app for the first time: I did a search for a book I’m reading, brought it up and it wouldn’t allow me to add it unless I entered the amount of pages the book was. This is a required field. What if I used an ebook and the amount of pages always varies? In fact, Im listening to an audio book version and there are ZERO pages. Bad first impression.
