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

Great App

This is very helpful to keep up with your inventory. I would love to see a few updates: digital/physical/audio versions, books on order, TBR, wish list, currently reading/want to read/finished and even update opinions would be great options
