### 5/5 — Love this

*2026-08-27, version 4.6.0*

This app is everything I’ve been looking for combined into one, it has brilliant tracking and so much customisation, would love the reading tracker to have more reading speed statistics per book like pages/hour etc but otherwise absolutely love

### 5/5 — Best Tracker Fr

*2026-08-26, version 4.6.0*

I've had this app for idek how long and by God they still keep updating it to be better and more user friendly. I remember when there wasn't even an option to write which page a quote was from and now you can add a new reading status if you've abandoned a book after reading a couple pages so that your initial progress never gets erased. Friggin genius man.... I even track kindle books on this app because it's that good. Also there's a new option to specify where books are located like if they're in the bookshelf in the bedroom or wherever. I didn't even realize that was something I needed... there's also a loan feature so you know to who you've loaned what books to. Guys just get it. Seriously just get it. idk if they're still offering the one time pay for the entire thing option but definitely go do that. I'm a huge fan of this app. It is such an amazing supplement to my Hobonichi journals. I do keep private, physical reviews and notes of books I've read and it's just perfect with this app.
