군더더기 없는 깔끔함

다른 독서 앱들도 사용하다가 마지막으로 북베어에 정착하게됐습니다. 위젯 잘 사용하고있습니다. 북베어가 추구하는 방향과 제가 원하는 기능들이 잘 맞고, 깔끔하게 들어가있어서 편하게 사용하고있습니다. 발전가능성도 많아보여서 계속 사용하고 싶습니다.

Amazing app!

I’ve been a huge reader my whole life, and in 2025 I stopped reading. Then I found Bookbear, and it’s so minimalistic, clean and easy to use. Great app overall, 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Response from developer

Hi Xyl0gic, Thank you so much for sharing this — it really means a lot. Hearing that Bookbear helped you get back into reading is incredibly meaningful to us. That’s exactly the kind of experience we hope to support. We’ll keep doing our best to keep things simple and smooth — minimal, clean, and easy to use, just like you described. Thanks again for the kind words. You really made our day! ⭐️

너무 좋습니다ㅏㅣㅏ

원래 후기 잘 안 남기는데 너무 만족스러워서 남겨요 ㅎㅎ 광고도 안 뜨는데 유아이도 깔끔하고 너무 뽀작하거나 너무 무거워보이지 않아서 좋습니다 ㅎㅎㅎ 캘린더 업데이트 되어서 더 좋아요 ㅎㅎ 번창하시기를 바라요~~~

안녕하세요 밍밍밍밍해님! 북베어팀입니다 🐻 원래 후기 잘 안 남기시는데 이렇게 남겨주셨다니 정말 감동이에요. 사용하시면서 좋았던 점을 이렇게 하나하나 써주셔서 진심이 더욱 크게 느껴졌어요! 그리고 북베어의 디자인 철학에 깊이 공감을 해주시는 것 같아 큰 힘이 됩니다 캘린더 업데이트가 마음에 든다고 해주셨는데, 앞으로 즐거운 독서를 하실 수 있도록 더 많은 기능이 추가 될 예정이니 기대해주세요. 다시 한 번 시간을 내어 리뷰 남겨주셔서 정말 감사합니다!

최고의 어플!!!!!

캘린더가 겹쳐 메일로 문의 드렸었는데 바로 답장 주시고 며칠 안에 수정되어 업뎃도 해주셨어요ㅠㅠ깔끔한 디자인으로 독서기록하기 너무 좋고 빠른 대처도 너무 감사합니다 어플 고민하시는 분들 제가 다른 어플도 많이 써봤는데 이건 딱 필요한 기능만 있고 깔끔해서 최고입니다!!!

안녕하세요 호이이이이잉ㅎ님! 북베어팀입니다 🐻 캘린더 글자가 겹쳐 보이는 문제 때문에 많이 당황하셨을 것 같아요. 메일로도 답변 드린 바와 같이 디스플레이 확대(Zoom) 설정이 켜진 경우 공간이 좁아지며 토요일이 일요일과 겹쳐 보이는 현상을 확인했습니다. 알려주신 덕분에 원인을 빠르게 찾을 수 있었고, 해당 문제가 해결된 1.12.2 버전이 3월 14일에 배포 됐어요. 업데이트 하시고 본격적으로 북베어를 즐겨주세요. 북베어가 더 완성도 있는 앱이 될 수 있게 도와주셔서 감사합니다! ---- (추가) 안녕하세요 호이이이이잉ㅎ님! 북베어팀입니다 🐻 업데이트 후에 다시 리뷰를 남겨주셔서 정말 감사합니다! 게다가 이렇게 극찬을 해주시다니, 큰 힘이 되네요. 앞으로도 깔끔함을 유지하면서 독서를 더욱 즐기실 수 있도록 도와드릴게요. 감사합니다!

Missing books

I tried to log a book I finished reading only to not be able to find the book, or any other books by the author.

Response from developer

Hi Axolotl_19, Thank you for your review. A few days ago, the book search provider we rely on experienced a temporary outage, which caused all search results to come back empty for a short period of time. If you searched for your book during that window, that’s likely what happened. Search should now be working normally again. To make the experience more reliable going forward, we’re expanding our book data sources to include both Google Books and Amazon, so issues like this are less likely to affect you in the future. If you’re still unable to find the book, feel free to share the title with us and we’ll gladly look into it for you. Thank you again for your feedback and for using Bookbear.
