### 3/5 — Premium subscription broken?

*2026-05-27*

Have been happily using for a while. However, all premium features have been deactivated despite my subscription running for another week. 

I can’t even renew or purchase again because the start date would be in the future.

### 2/5 — can't add books

*2026-05-21*

Hi! Can you fix the bug?

### 4/5 — A Must Have

*2026-05-09*

I adore this app. I’ve been using it for a few years now, and the tagging system is by far the most streamlined I’ve ever encountered. I love being able to organize my TBR like this—it’s such a lifesaver! The search bar bug that some other users complained of is unfortunate and I have encountered it, but regardless, this is my favorite app on my phone.

### 1/5 — Works only sometimes

*2026-04-26*

Will randomly stop being able to search for,and add books, which is essentially its only use.

### 2/5 — App stopped working

*2026-04-26*

I actually really did like this app and I was even paying for the subscriptions but you can’t search books anymore it’s like the app fully stopped working. The last update was a year ago and that’s probably why

### 1/5 — randomly stopped working

*2026-03-09*

Out of nowhere the search feature for this app will just stop working and it will usually be days before it works for me again. it’s a shame because I really do like the simplicity here, but it’s frustrating to not be able to rely on it :/ and just to be clear, I always make sure to look up books that are in my library already that I know would come up in a search result whenever this happens just to make sure it’s not that the books that I’m trying to add aren’t in the system already, but it’s always empty no matter what I look up

### 4/5 — 會員問題

*2025-10-29, version 4.3.6*

使用一段時間了，明明一直有購買會員，但是每次打開都需要再按一次恢復購買

### 1/5 — 打不開

*2025-10-12, version 4.3.6*

如前面評論所說，打開會閃退。這樣是不是要退款？

### 5/5 — Tolles Design, super Support 🤩

*2025-09-26, version 4.3.6*

Schöne cleane App, die genau eine Sache erledigt: Lektüre tracken, Bücher notieren, Lesestoff sortieren. Mir gefallen das Design und der Fokus. Super Support auch – die Entwickler haben sich innerhalb weniger Stunden um mein Importproblem gekümmert. 1000 Dank dafür!

### 5/5 — 筆記會不見

*2025-04-14, version 4.3.6*

簡便好用，但筆記不見了
