My only problem with it is that not every book I read is listed, meaning I have to list them in order to make sure that I have a record of them. Not everyone wants to not have a record of all the books they read. I need all of my books on record! ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2026-08-15, version 6.1.5* Pretty useful and good especially for school ### 3/5 — Not Working *2026-08-13, version 6.1.5* Since the update, it won’t open on my Apple iPhone. ### 3/5 — Single library only *2026-08-10, version 6.1.5* I participate in reading challenges in 2 local library systems. BeanStack only permits enrollment in 1. Filling in the log sheet for the 2nd system is doable, but requires transfer of tally from BeanStalk to paper - sometimes my interval between loggings is long enough to have to do math 🤔 ### 4/5 — Good app, but *2026-08-09, version 6.1.5* This is a good app but when I am trying to use it on my iPad, and not my phone the shape stays a rectangle, and I can still use it but it think it would be a lot better if there was a version for iPads and tablets. ### 3/5 — How is it working *2026-08-08, version 6.1.5* This app does not recognize a lot of the ISBN for recent books. And the change to click a drop-down to input the last page read is very annoying. The option before the pages is time. Most of us track pages NOT time, unless we have an audiobook. ### 4/5 — dark mode pls *2026-08-07, version 6.1.5* 4.8 stars. Please add dark mode. I always read at night and it literally melts my eyes off every time I open Beanstack. Every other app has dark mode but not this one. nice app tho ### 4/5 — Awesome!!! *2026-08-04, version 6.1.5* I love this app. I do a summer reading challenge every year and this is really helpful! One suggestion: maybe you should verify that you went to the locations. I accidentally checked one off and it didn’t verify if I went there. You don’t have to track us, just ask a basic question like what you did there to make sure that you’re not faking it. Thank you so much for making this app and I love it!!! ### 4/5 — The only reading app I use consistently *2026-08-03, version 6.1.5* I love that you can log time instead of pages. I do a lot of audiobooks so it’s perfect for that. But I also read a lot of written non-fiction and like to go back and re-read things and areas I’ve highlighted as I’m going through the book and timed logging makes me feel like that “counts.” The only thing preventing a 5 star review is the recent addition of the “You did it!” pop up after reading. I find it incredibly annoying. Please add a button to let users turn that off! ### 2/5 — Used to be great *2026-07-30, version 6.1.5* I like that you can use an in app timer to record your points and scanner to scan the barcode of your books but they stopped giving away actual prizes for adults and I don’t feel the app is worth it anymore. They give you stickers but what adult wants to drive all the way down to the library for a sticker? Nobody. I really wish they would bring prizes back with the raffle. It was a lot of fun and made me want read more. ### 5/5 — Why I love Beanstack tracker *2026-07-28, version 6.1.2* It really helps me for reading books because when I go to the library I get prizes for it. My goal is to get 360 minutes red so I will it really helps me to read and I’m knowing I have a challenge with it. this is why I love Beanstack tracker ### 3/5 — Search function is hit-and-miss *2026-07-28, version 6.1.2* Some books don't show up even by ISBN, and then other books that don't show up by author ot title do show up by ISBN. ### 5/5 — My Review of the Bean Stack Tracker app *2026-07-27, version 6.1.2* I Really like this app it’s because. I like how you Can track on how many pages you’ve read each day.And I really recommend downloading this app called “Libby” to anyone who has not used it .On the app you can listen to Audiobooks/etc.And I’m rating this app 4 stars ⭐️ . ### 4/5 — Glitchy *2026-07-24, version 6.1.2* It’s good but pretty glitchy ### 4/5 — You did it screen annoying *2026-07-22, version 6.1.2* Latest update that turned on the “you did it” screen after logging a book is not helpful or needed. Adds another interaction to the app before I can go on to the next item to log. We have young children and log consecutive booked after reading all of them at night. Can this be turned off ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-07-22, version 6.1.2* I love this app, so first you can log your reading and save your pages that way you don’t forget your page number. And you can scan the book so that it knows what book you are reading. And I love this app because now I do not have to forget my page number or the time that I read. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is a stupid reading tracker *2026-08-14, version 6.1.5* This is so stupid and even I thought it was something that you could read online with so stupid ### 1/5 — Streak broken for no reason *2026-08-14, version 6.1.5* Went to log my streak today and even though the app shows that I had a reading session yesterday, it says my over 700 day streak is only 2 days. Followed the troubleshooting and nothing worked. I am not happy at all ### 1/5 — Not WORKING *2026-08-09, version 6.1.5* Is this an outdated version? I AM UNABLE TO GET IN. ### 1/5 — Horrible on iPad *2026-07-10, version 6.0.23* Not sure if there is a iPad version in the works but it is needed so kids can log their own readings ### 1/5 — My Review of the Bean Stack Tracker app *2026-07-10, version 6.0.23* I’m sorry for giving this app a 1 star ⭐️ rating.It’s because my mean step mom put time limit on my phone & now I can’t even use this app anymore 😢 😞 ### 1/5 — Too confusing *2026-07-10, version 6.0.23* I’d like to go to the old fashion way, by tracking progress on the little cardboard. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2026-07-06, version 6.0.23* This is a complete waste of time and fill your phone with reminders complete waste of storage ! ### 1/5 — Moral beliefs *2026-06-30, version 6.0.23* I don’t appreciate the notification telling me I earned a badge just because I read on the last day of pride month and to pick up a LGBTQ book at my library for all ages. I like the app but keep your beliefs to yourself don’t push it on others. ### 1/5 — Not a quick way to track *2026-06-18, version 6.0.23* My library solely uses this and it makes it challenging to log for myself and my three children. It’s not user friendly or intuitive. You have to click way too many things before you can log minutes. I wish there was a way to do a quick log where you can select multiple days while looking at the calendar for 30 minutes for example for multiple readers. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-06-18, version 6.0.23* IT LITERALLY DELETED ALL MY PROGRESS ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beanstack Tracker *2026-08-24, version 6.1.5* Helps me so much for my school work ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-08-22, version 6.1.5* It's amazing in reading tracker app family loves it it has awesome activities just trying Love all about it knows what book if you tell me and eight tracks with Pedro on attracts up faster reading it oh awesome🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Great but not Great *2026-08-20, version 6.1.5* I love the app, and I use it on my phone ALL the time. But it isn’t however compatible on my Mac. And I prefer using the computer, so if you guys could change that, that’d be great.
