Need help!

I LOVE this app-after I downloaded it and made the purchase, my wife also downloaded and bought the app. It’s a great way to keep track of your books and reading stats. My online gripe is that it does not accurately count the pages that are read. Example: it took 12 days for me to complete a book (longest book ever). I typically finish books out before the end of the month. This book carried over until August 1st. Because I finished the book August 1st, it assigned the entire page count to August 1st and I received no credit for pages read in that book for the previous month. There has to be a way to fix this….

Best Tracking App Hands Down! 😍😍

I just recently got back into reading after many years of not picking up a single book. For me buying books and reading are two separate hobbies, I tend to buy Kindle books, physical books and Audiobooks, to the point that it was getting really hard not to buy duplicate books. I was looking for an App that would help me keep track of all my books and OMG this App does exactly that!
I first started creating four categories (Kindle, Audiobooks , Physical and Kindle Borrowed), then I started adding my Audiobooks (you can add as many details as you want, like Narrators, tags, notes, etc), then proceeded with Kindle and then with the Physical Books (this was the most exciting as you can scan the barcodes one by one or multiple at the same time). Now I have a list of all my books, it has an option to “Pick a Random Book” if you wanna make your next read a surprise. You can organize by Series, the Volume # (which helps me identify the series that I have incomplete) .
I also paid the $10 for the lifetime membership (best money spent). Yes, it took me a bit longer to add all of the books (since I had many Audiobooks and Kindle) but the Physical (all 96 of them, only took me less than 1 hour). Overall I have 200 books 😬 and now Im going to build my Wishlists for the books that I would like to get in the future.
If you’re looking for a Book Tracker to keep yourself organized, this is the ONE!

Intuitive

I gave up on another app (I actually paid for it) it was difficult to use and could not find any "how to" instructions. Bought this one and it is SO EASY to add books!! A+A+A I love this app!

Good Tracker Overall

I wanted an easy way to keep track of the books I’ve read and my rating. This is an easy way to track. The one downside that I found with the app is that you can’t add multiple “finished dates” on a single book. I like to track how many I read a year. Without this option, I have to have multiple entries of the same book
