Book Jot is the place for everything about your books. Books you're reading, books you bought and haven't opened yet, books you finished, books you're hunting for — all in one tidy place. Reading is only part of it. We buy, collect, borrow, take notes, and keep going back to look things up. Book Jot is built for the whole life of a reader, not just the reading. BUILD A LIBRARY THAT'S YOURS - Keep the books you own, want to read, are reading, and have finished - Group them with tags, series, or collections so any book is easy to find — whether you have a dozen or a few hundred KEEP YOUR READING HISTORY - Log progress and the time you spend reading - Look back at what you read, how far you got, and how long each book took RECORD YOUR PURCHASES - Always know where you bought a book, what it cost, and how big your collection has grown - Made for people who love buying books as much as reading them TRACK BORROWED BOOKS AND READING SERVICES - Note books borrowed from a library or read through subscription and e-book platforms - Remember where you read each one and find the details again later REVIEW AND REMEMBER - Rate books, write reviews, or jot down your thoughts after reading - Some books change how we see things; some have moments worth keeping. Book Jot keeps them with the book MANAGE SERIES AND COLLECTIONS - Follow the order of a series, see which volumes you own, where you've read to, and what's still missing BOOK JOT PLUS (OPTIONAL) - A monthly subscription that hides ads. Everything else in the app stays free - Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Doubled records were merged — nothing you logged was lost • Fixed: two progress bars for one book on Home, and an opening ad that could appear after you had already started using the app • Bug fixes and maintenance ### 1.4.57 — 2026-09-18 • Monthly wrap-up: your month at a glance — each book runs across the days you read it, with what you finished, bought and borrowed • Stats: faster screens and clearer numbers across reading, purchases and borrowings • Reading time imported from KOReader is now measured like a sitting: a book left open no longer splits one evening into many sessions, so session counts look lower while pages and minutes stay the same • Home: book spending is shown per currency, and the currently-reading card keeps one shape whatever it holds • Fixed: a series you picked while adding a book could not be removed again • Series: anyone can create a series; once it is marked final, only the team can change it • Thai: durations, dates and formats read in Thai on every stats screen • What's New lists every release, marked with the store it went to • Bug fixes and maintenance ### 1.4.56 — 2026-09-17 • Home: your books as a tile rail, a compact currently-reading bar, and summary tiles shown as a grid or chips — hide the ones you don't use • My Readings: every reading in one list, with tabs; Reading Detail refreshed • My Reviews: all your reviews in one place — choose which ones show their words, swipe to change or delete • Reviews: a private review keeps its words to you; its star rating still counts and appears as a star card • A reader's reviews of one series show as a single card, with the volumes it covers • App menu: Readings and Reviews • Book detail: a book released in parts shows the whole set, with the one you're on highlighted • Book detail: audiobooks show an Audiobook chip, and books in a series without volume numbers show their own titles • Series tiles show the series edition, e.g. (Audiobook) • KOReader import has moved to the BookJot website • Lighter images, bug fixes and maintenance ### 1.4.55 — 2026-09-16 • Library: a third view, My groups — arrange your own shelves any way you like, mixing series and single books. Private to you. Free includes 5 groups; Plus has no limit. The view keeps its own sort • Make a group from a collection you follow in one tap: only the books you own come along • Series pages count wishlisted volumes separately from the ones on your shelf • Series edits by members are checked against the book's title, so the catalogue stays clean; anything unclear becomes a correction request • Collections: three tabs, Following, Created and Public, and the screen speaks your language throughout • Home shows your name • Reading timer: stopping from the timer bar no longer counts paused time as reading • Borrowings: the filter sheet opens on Status, the tab you reach for most • Book detail: other editions are now grouped by what differs — other languages, other publishers, other editions — each card saying so at a glance • Series: the online release sits above the volumes on the series page and under Other editions on each volume, so "8 volumes" means volumes; unnumbered specials come last • Chapter titles bought online show what readers paid for the run, with the chapter count and per-chapter price, plus any free chapters • Collections credit their source ("cr: …") on the rail and the detail page; add one when you edit a collection • Discover: reader reviews now include star-only ratings as small cards, and "View more" opens every public review • Purchases and borrowings: a gentle note when a format looks unusual for that store, and e-book stores suggest E-book (EPUB and PDF picks are fine too) • Public collections list every public collection, your own included • Bug fixes and maintenance ### 1.4.51 — 2026-09-14 - Home: your last 7 days as a row of book spines — reading, finishing, buying, borrowing, adding — tap a day to see what happened - Collections: add a book to a collection right from its page; collections now live in Library and the Jot menu (Home is lighter); descriptions can be formatted - Library: filter by language (including books with none) and sort by latest activity; author and publisher filters show the Thai name - Discover: a collections rail, "reading now" counts other members, and tags say where they come from - Adding a book: a quick "already in BookJot?" check before you fill the form - Book pages load faster: reviews and the sections below the fold arrive as you scroll - Logging a purchase clears the book from your wishlist automatically - Ads: a small strip next to the ad with Support and Coffee Break (switch it off in Settings → Ads) - Customize Home can now hide the 7-day shelf; the feedback banner moved to Settings → Feedback - Bug fixes, performance and maintenance --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
