### 4/5 — Review on Bookly

*2026-08-28, version 1.18.9*

I like Bookly as it has allowed me to develop a reading habit over the past couple of months how ever, the only thing I did not enjoy are how you can only read 10 books without paying

### 4/5 — So fun

*2026-08-26, version 1.18.9*

I love the infographics it produces when I finish a book as well as the “start reading” feature! It helps me not get distracted by my phone bc when I pick it up it’s still on the reading screen!

### 5/5 — Book Tracker of my Dreams

*2026-08-26, version 1.18.9*

I love this app so much! Not only can I see how many pages and how much time I’ve read but it keeps track of all the books I read and I love the way it’s set up and easy to use

### 5/5 — Very nice app

*2026-08-25, version 1.18.9*

I like the app

### 5/5 — Got my reading groove back

*2026-08-25, version 1.18.9*

Love this app.  Keeps me focused and motivated to get my pages in.

### 5/5 — Obsessed!!

*2026-08-24, version 1.18.9*

This is a wonderful app, it has made me a daily reader like nothing else could. I love it and will most definitely end up buying the full version.

### 5/5 — Good App

*2026-08-23, version 1.18.9*

Very useful, helps me to keep track of all my reading. Really love the feature where I can scan the barcode on the book, that’s very nice, also the built in dictionary, very cool. Love it!

### 4/5 — Great Gamified Book Tracker

*2026-08-23, version 1.18.9*

It has the occasional glitches when trying to sync between devices in the pro subscription, but otherwise a beautiful and wonderful app! I love the costumes for Bloo you can get and the different icons the most. Very useful for personal book tracking and reading insights.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2026-08-23, version 1.18.9*

Great little tracker for reading

### 5/5 — Great book tracking app!

*2026-08-22, version 1.18.9*

Bookly quickly became one of my favorite book apps. I love the reading timer feature, and it’s super helpful that it estimates how long it will take you to finish the book based on your reading speed. I love earning points for my reading time, it’s a fun incentive to log in and track my reading instead of scrolling. I do wish it let you track more than 10 books with the free version. However, there’s a lot of functionality in the free version despite that. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Best Book Tracker

*2026-08-22, version 1.18.9*

Love this app! I use it daily. Keeps track of time read, books I’ve read. I highly recommend this app all of the time to family and friends!

### 3/5 — Shaken

### 5/5 — Mistborn

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2026-08-21, version 1.18.9*

I absolutely love using this app while reading!! I love how you can see your analytics after finishing a book(how fast you are reading, how many hours you spent reading this book, ect.)...It makes me feel so accomplished when I finish a book using this app, which has helped me read so much more, like I used to when I was a kid. Using this app has kind of started a domino effect, ie: app makes me feel motivated...I read more...reading more makes me feel motivated about my life...i have gotten back into writing..i’m overall happier now...i know it’s not that deep for most people, but i just wanted to share my appreciation for this app!

### 5/5 — Love Bookly!

*2026-08-21, version 1.18.9*

Encourages me to read with reminders and the fun stats about books I’m reading and have read!

### 1/5 — Limits

*2026-08-28, version 1.18.9*

There’s a ten book limit unless you pay for more??? I don’t know a single reader who only has 10 books they read let alone what they’re reading and they’re tbr. So disappointing. I could just keep a list on my nots for free and add a picture from Google 👎🏽

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2026-08-25, version 1.18.9*

The app
Freezes and can’t get past the 2nd screen

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2026-08-23, version 1.18.9*

Nothing in this app works the way it should. Despite being a paid subscriber with a streak that’s at least 250 days long now, I only have the features of the free version. My screens don’t look anything like other people’s screens, and apparently the dev team is clueless as to why.  I really regret forking over the money for a year’s subscription.

### 1/5 — Lies!!

*2026-08-22, version 1.18.9*

When I first saw this app, it was a pop-up on my Instagram and it was showing me that I was able to track my reading, but then also have a bookshelf where I can see all of my books now I bought the app for the whole year and my bookshelf is gone. I put one book on my bookshelf. It showed me my bookshelf and now it and that's the whole point of me buying this app was I wanted to have all of my books that I have on my bookshelf at home on my phone one so that I can know and keep track of what I'm reading and when I go to the the store. I know what books I have as well.

### 1/5 — If I could give zero I would

*2026-08-20, version 1.18.9*

What app makes you PAY to import Goodreads? Just this one. Almost every other book app I have it’s FREE to import your Goodreads. Absolutely asinine.

### 1/5 — Can’t use the app at all without paying for it.

*2026-08-17, version 1.18.9*

Can’t use the app at all without paying for it.

### 1/5 — Paywall lock

*2026-08-11, version 1.18.9*

I know companies need to make money and that’s totally fine. But the whole point of a book tracker app is to track all my books is it not? Locking that feature behind a paywall for a free app is outrageous. I can only track 10 books at a time and I can’t even review a book unless I pay. Not worth using this app if you want something simple and free. And the price is way too much to consider purchasing anyway, due to everything else that’s going up too I can no longer afford this app.

### 1/5 — Completely unusable

*2026-08-04, version 1.18.9*

Can’t get to enter a book on a small iPhone. The scroll won’t go that far. Good idea. Bad implementation. Glad I didn’t sign up to pay before realizing it.

### 1/5 — Stop asking for a review

*2026-07-30, version 1.18.8*

Stop asking for a review

### 1/5 — Bookshelf widget doesn’t show the books I’m reading…LAME

*2026-07-26, version 1.18.8*

Bookshelf widget doesn’t show the books I’m reading, like it says it will - broken promises & disappointment.

### 5/5 — Widget Bookshelf

*2026-08-28, version 1.18.9*

The Widget Bookshelf you can use with the books you are reading is so cute and it’s free!

### 5/5 — The botonist

*2026-08-28, version 1.18.9*

Absolutely loved this book, full of suspense

### 5/5 — Aubrie j loves Bookly

Great app to track my reading

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-27, version 1.18.9*

It’s a good app to keep track of the books you read

### 5/5 — So neat!!

*2026-08-26, version 1.18.9*

I never knew an app like this existed but when I went to find something that was similar the AR reading program that was made for adults and I got this app as a suggestion. I’m glad I gave it a chance. It’s somewhat different than AR but I love that it tracks all my books and what I’m currently reading. Also you get points you can spend on rewards so I’m pretty stoked about that. Give it a try!

### 5/5 — The therapist
