### 3/5 — Great app with one key exception

*2025-10-29, version 3.0.4*

I love this app for it’s statistics, simplicity and usability. I don’t love this app because once a year every year on 26th October or so my streak resets itself to 0 despite me having read every day and the app showing that I have read everyday. Surely it can’t be too hard to fix? 🙁

### 3/5 — needs to allow you to make accounts

*2024-12-13, version 3.0.4*

i love this app but recently got a new phone so all of my data has been lost - they need an option where we can create an account to save data

### 4/5 — Solid reading app

*2024-01-04, version 3.0.4*

Excellent reading app! The Pro version is reasonably priced for what you’re getting. A great alternative to other apps that have subscriptions (and are very overpriced like Bookly). My only gripe is there should be a way to input words per minute tracked as an average over the course of the book. The graphs could then motivate pro users to improve reading speeds and observe their progress, etc. I would recommend this to friends if it had that function.

### 4/5 — Great!

*2023-01-07*

It’s great for tracking your reading, and seeing how fast or slow you read. I find it so interesting. It also gives you a spot to give the book a star review. 

I wish that there was a way to login to the system, that way your reading progress saved device to device.

### 4/5 — Love it… just want to write reviews

*2022-06-08, version 3.0.4*

The app is simple and I have been using it for years. The only thing I would add is the ability to add notes or write reviews of each of the books so I can go back and see what I specifically liked and didn’t like. Other than that, it’s perfect.

### 4/5 — Just Right

*2022-02-18, version 3.0.4*

Simple, easy to use, no distractions! Fulfils the exact function I need.

What else would I prefer?
- Scanning book barcode instead of manually entering the details.
- Adding people to compete with.

### 4/5 — Absolutely Astounding App! But…

*2021-11-11, version 3.0.4*

I have been using this app for at least a few years or so now and I absolutely love it, it’s perfect for what it is and a greatly priced piece as well! I highly appreciate the hard work put into it by the developers, my only gripe is that, as an American user, every year on Autumn Daylight savings time the app glitches out on that day and refuses to recognize that I’ve recorded any time or pages that I’ve read so that my reading streak resets and will not allow me to correct it so that my reading street will continue on correctly. I still love this app and I will continue on using it as it is near perfect and simplistic to use, if that glitch doesn’t get fixed I’ll still be using this app even if the glitch slightly bugs me.

I would also love to thank the developers since it was this app that got me back into my love for reading and keeping me on track for the last few years after a rough time going through college and losing that love for literature.

### 3/5 — Not linked with my ios app.

*2021-10-05*

I would rate this app 5 star if they can add my data sharing on b oth mac and iphone, so i can log in my details from any device.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2021-08-03, version 3.0.4*

This app is awesome, it allows you to track what you read.

Anyway, where are the updates???

### 3/5 — Rajouter un widget

*2021-05-06, version 3.0.4*

Rajouter un widget ça sera bien.

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2021-03-08, version 3.0.4*

Pretty useful app that just works. I threw $5 at the developers as I think it is worth that. A bit concerned with no new updates in 2 years.

Would love to see Apple Watch integration where I can start/stop/pause timer on my watch.

### 5/5 — ..

*2021-01-26, version 3.0.4*

Good apps 
For developer add how many pages left

### 1/5 — No dark mode

*2023-03-25, version 3.0.4*

No dark mode. Everything is white 👨‍🦯

### 1/5 — No scanner

*2023-03-11, version 3.0.4*

No barcode scanner? What century are you living in? I have over 400 books to add. No thanks.

### 1/5 — Broken Streak

*2021-11-11, version 3.0.4*

This app broke my 371 day reading streak and there’s no reason it should have. My charts and recent reads show that I haven’t missed a single day. Super frustrating. Would change to a five star if this could be fixed. :/

### 1/5 — No Updates

*2021-04-28, version 3.0.4*

This app isn’t being improved, but it needs it! Last update was 2 years ago. No barcode scanner! I’m forced to track bookreading by turning on a timer. This app is not user friendly imo. Also, the icon notification is stuck on 1. Uninstalling, which seems to be an abandoned app.

### 1/5 — Laughable

*2021-03-02, version 3.0.4*

Can only add one book at a time unless you buy their subscription.
An app for avid readers? I think not.

### 1/5 — Iranian fan!

*2020-09-03, version 3.0.4*

So sry 4 this bad world ... from Iran, we’re not allowed to buy it... 💔

### 2/5 — Cool Bookbreeze

*2022-12-08, version 3.0.4*

Book breeze is fantastic because it helps me keep track of all the books I read, and there are features

### 2/5 — App deleted reading streak

*2021-09-25, version 3.0.4*

This app deleted my year-long reading streak. This is the third time it’s done this. So upset.

### 2/5 — It’s not working.

*2021-05-04, version 3.0.4*

Doesn’t appear to be working as it won’t let me hit done to save any books.  But I like the app concept.   However, they need a section to identify whether or not it’s a kindle, audio, or paper back book. I think I’ll stick with good reads for now.

### 2/5 — Date Problems

*2019-02-18, version 3.0.3*

Downloaded and added a book I finished last week.  When I add the book it states I finished reading it “December 31, 1969” with now way to change or edit the date.  Not very useful if trying to track my yearly readings.

### 5/5 — This is the best.

*2026-05-05, version 3.0.4*

It is like a game . Also if a famous YouTuber looks at this than was poppin?!

### 5/5 — Best reading app ever

*2026-03-03, version 3.0.4*

Wish I’d found this app years ago. On my way to finishing my first book in forever

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-01-07, version 3.0.4*

This app is so helpful and has all the things I need for my reading. Simple and easy to use I love it!!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-09-03, version 3.0.4*

I use this app almost every single day to track my readings!! 

I just noticed that there’s no achieve section that enables you to put away a book you started but don’t want to anytime soon.

### 5/5 — Fa il suo dovere

*2022-05-22*

Cercavo un’app con cui monitorare l’andamento della lettura con grafici e roba varia e questa app è perfetta per questo. Non c’è molto altro a parte ciò ma va benissimo così, inserisci i tuoi libri con annessa foto e avvìi l’app mentre leggi

Perfetta per quello che fa

### 5/5 — Reading Breeze!

*2022-01-22, version 3.0.4*

This app really motivates & reminds me to read every single day! It’s also great that you're able to see the process/percentage of where you are in your book! Love it!

### 5/5 — Addie

*2021-08-20, version 3.0.4*

I love this app it is amazing you need this app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2021-08-19, version 3.0.4*

I really do love this app! Ive been using it for nearly 2 years now and it is perfect for what I need. 
It’s so easy to use and great to view how my reading changes and track how fast I’m getting through books. The predicted finish part is also very helpful.

But- PLEASE can you make a widget for this app!!! I LOVE it, and want to display it more on my Home Screen, it would be really cool if the widget displayed current read and how long you have left etc….

### 5/5 — Love this App!!

*2021-06-28, version 3.0.4*

I love this app! I would love to have an added feature where you can set goals like how many books you want to read in a year, how much time you want to read every day, etc etc. But overall this is a great app to track my reading!!!

### 5/5 — Aubrey

*2021-06-13, version 3.0.4*

I think that this app is great! Book Breeze helps me keep track of the times that I want to read during the day, and I think that it’s so cool how I can schedule certain times! Because some days I might be busy, but with Bool Breeze I can sometimes fit in about a thirty minute reading session! Another reason that I love this app is because I can keep track of how much I have read. I also really like how the app estimates when I 
might be completed a book! I recently just downloaded this app and I have no regrets!
