### 5/5 — Reminds me of great books I’ve read

*2026-08-09, version 2026.5*

I have been using it for about 7/8 years now and I love this app. It is so simple to use and yet it is so functional. I now have quotes from all the books that I’ve read and highlighted popping up on my widgets on my Home Screen. This really helps me to remember and recall what I’ve read or come back to it later when discussing it with someone.

I love that the developer of this app doesn’t ask for money or personal information. It’s not often that I write a review on the App Store but this one feels like such a gift, and I’m very thankful to the developer for making this!

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-08-07, version 2026.5*

Helpful with research, condensing information ,writing

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2026-07-23, version 2026.4*

Just downloaded, Didn’t see any user instructions. Within 30min I found  1) the app puts notes in reverse order 2) tags are not editable (misspelled words). At this point the only way to correct is to delete book & start over.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-21, version 2026.2*

This is the my favorite app and it’s a must for any bibliosmile!

### 5/5 — Highlighted Review

### 5/5 — Love this app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-16, version 2026.1.1*

Really great app. Works exactly how you’d want it to work.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-05-15, version 2026.1.1*

Taking notes in books just became easier. You simply scan the page and highlight what you want to keep. Or, make your own notes. 

The tags and page numbers are also a huge help.

### 5/5 — One of My Favorites

*2026-05-14, version 2026.1.1*

This app has become a critical part of my weekly workflow. I read, research, and put together presentations. This allows me to easily capture all the highlights from my physical books and store them digitally so I can access them any time, anywhere. This has truly been a game changer for me. I wish I had this in college or earlier in my career. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Finally - Simple, Clean and Thoughtful

*2026-05-07, version 2026.1.1*

I downloaded a ton of apps to track my paperback book highlights. This one does it thoughtfully (able to highlight multiple sections at a time!) and keeps things simple. You can search the highlights and your custom notes for each of those highlights very easily. Plus you can export. Give this a shot, you won’t be disappointed. And if you like it, please support the creator, it’s free without ads and he updates the app regularly. Let’s reward him for the work that he’s put into this masterpiece!
