My only issues are the database seems quite small still, I’m having to add a lot manually or search further. Also the spine bookshelf I LOVE the idea of but it only appears to be available in dark mode / black which is not pleasing to look at. I’m not in a position to pay for pro so not sure if that would change anything. ### 3/5 — Should just be free not $100 *2026-08-09, version 1.12.3* Decent app but they hungry for your money ### 5/5 — very fun *2026-08-03, version 1.12.2* very fun to use and very functional ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-03, version 1.12.2* Beautiful way to display and keep track of my reading list! 10/10 ### 3/5 — So far so good but some features I’d like the option of *2026-07-30* So far it’s pretty good, but I want a .25 rating system. I think it’s the best, better than a .5 scale, and I wish there were more options or tags, things like the type of media you consumed it as, and stuff like that. If you can customize the bookshelf, I think it’d be nice to customize the book tracking too especially if you’re paying for it. ### 5/5 — Perfect Book virtual library! *2026-07-30* I love this app so much! 😍 If you’re a technology lover, you’ll love this app! They give you a whole main screen with swipe-to-view in progress books, a world range search of all your favorite books. 😊 If you’re a book lover, and love having technology, you’ll love this app! They show you progress bars on each book based on what you tell the page you’re on, and it’s all amazing! 🤩 ### 5/5 — 还可以 *2026-07-28* 如果推出更多高级功能会考虑升级pro，目前会员功能里只有计时不限今日是我需要的，但就因为这个去升级又觉得贵 ### 4/5 — Really good app *2026-07-27* Would be helpful if the books were updated more often as most books i scan with the barcode are unknown when they are made at least 5 years ago, also it would be useful if we could have some more charts like the book ones that weren’t only available for pro ### 5/5 — 五星好评 *2026-07-26* 期待开发者持续的更新 ### 4/5 — bit sad *2026-07-25, version 1.12.1* I have to put in the pictures and spine of my books a lot, cause the app either doesnt have or know what it is, or gives me vol 20 as the spine when the book is vol 1😓 ### 5/5 — 十分美貌 *2026-07-24* 想问一下怎么把iPad和手机同步，求回复 **Developer response:** 你好，iPad 和手机登录同一个 iCloud账号即可自动同步，如果还有疑问，可以联系 bookologyapp@gmail.com ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-07-23* It’s an amazing app with a great ideia and sooo much potential!! I love it ### 4/5 — Bookology *2026-07-19* Would be helpful if the books were updated more often as most books i scan with the barcode are unknown when they are made at least 5 years ago ### 3/5 — Beautiful app but stats behind a paywall *2026-07-19* Beautiful designed and smooth app experience, paywall blocks all stats, good enough for tracking though. ### 4/5 — Can’t find bookshelf view *2026-07-14* I love this app for the timer and tracker features. I got it for the bookshelf view though and just wish there were a few more decor options for the free users. It would also be cool if the bookshelf view could be a widget for your phone. ### 5/5 — If you like organizing you’ll love the bookshelf. *2026-07-11, version 1.12* Adding TBR and finished books to my bookshelf has been so fun. If you’ve ever played organizing games like A Little To The Left then you’ll love this app. ### 4/5 — App *2026-07-02* It’s a really good app only thing that I don’t like is that some of the books don’t have pictures so you’re just looking at a white black writing title but if you want to check your books and I think it’s really great actually I kind of will give it a 3 1/2 stars but I’m gonna be generous for the day ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No audio options *2026-08-19* Can’t log audiobooks ### 1/5 — enough *2026-08-17* im so tired of paying extra for every app that I like on first view. Lets milk a hobby for all its worth. No thanks! ### 1/5 — Greed above all *2026-08-15* Unfortunately the app wants you to pay to import your library from Goodreads. All other in-apps content behind a paywall is acceptable, but to force add all my library manually is laughable. Good luck, greedies ### 1/5 — 下载了用不了。打不开都 *2026-06-28* 下载完打都打不开 ### 1/5 — Hard to navigate *2026-02-12, version 1.7.9* Not easy to use ### 1/5 — So much potential *2025-12-10, version 1.6.6* This app has so much potential and I love the idea of the bookshelf view. Unfortunately, after 5 minutes of adding books the app would no longer search for them and I got repeated errors. Additionally, only 1 book out of 25 actually had a book spine available for the bookshelf. Not worth a subscription until it’s more robust and less buggy. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-11-29, version 1.6.3* None of my books have the spine added. You can only make two bookshelves unless you pay $80. Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-11-23* This app does ABSOLUTELY nothing! Signed up for free trial but not able to find any information on how to cancel **Developer response:** Hi there — I’m really sorry for the frustrating experience. It looks like our book search service briefly ran into a quota issue yesterday, which may have caused the app to show no results. This has already been fixed in the latest version, and everything should be working normally again. Regarding cancellation: all subscriptions and free trials are managed directly through the App Store, so you can cancel anytime from your device’s Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Since this is handled by Apple, the app itself doesn’t provide a separate cancellation button. If you’re willing to give the app another try, I’d truly appreciate it — and if there’s anything else I can help with, feel free to reach out at any time. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Waiting for update *2026-06-22, version 1.11.5* It’s been a couple months and I’m still waiting to see if the bookshelves will be updated to allow us to add custom images, cutouts, or gifs to be displayed next to my all my books. ### 2/5 — bad uploads *2026-05-18, version 1.10* I can never find books with the online feature. always have to manually put them in with my own uploaded cover pic. its time consuming. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is so good *2026-08-24* Not only is this app super helpful for making sure I am doing my daily reading the bookshelf and display of books is just so cool ### 5/5 — Super Handy *2026-08-24* This to me is a must have app !!! Comes in handy for keeping up progress and tracking when it comes to reading books. ### 5/5 — Loving it *2026-08-18* I’m surprised at how much this app. It makes a great compliment The StoryGraph. It has a timer you can start whenever you start a book. You can actually track how long you spend reading a day. It’s easy to your specific books and the book bookshelf is cute. The improvements I would like to see are a couple more options on the bookshelf decoration for the free accounts, the ability to have more than one bookshelf, and the ability to add narrators as narrator to books along with a unique audiobook shape. Regardless, I’m having fun with my free account considering upgrading to a paid account next month. ### 5/5 — 简洁美观 *2026-08-17* 洁面很简洁美观，没广告，记录功能完全够用，推荐！ ### 5/5 — Fantastic app for book lovers!! *2026-08-15* I’m a big reader & this app is - by and far - my favorite for tracking my books, what I’m reading, my TBR, and so much more. I LOVE the bookshelf feature and how fun it makes tracking my reading. SOOOO much better than any of the other apps I’ve used. ### 5/5 — 笔记界面能不能有一个笔记汇总页面直接查看所有笔记 *2026-08-13* 现在要找某条笔记只能搜索关键字，但有时只有模糊的记忆，希望能在笔记界面有一个所有笔记汇总查看的功能 ### 5/5 — Fun book app *2026-08-12, version 1.12.3* Fun little book app that has some cool stat trackers. Love the bookshelf, after I’m done reading a book and seeing it “displayed” ### 5/5 — Get it! Read More Books *2026-08-11, version 1.12.3* This is a fantastic way to keep yourself motivated to add and read more books. The interface with the spines is a wonderful touch ### 5/5 — What I’ve been looking for *2026-08-07* I consume most of my books digitally, and being able to make a digital book shelf has been what I’ve been looking for. I love that I can customize my books by series. I can’t wait to see how this app grows. I just cant wait for there to be a desktop version. ### 5/5 — 希望能开发个 MAC 端 *2026-08-07* 手机打字毕竟不如电脑方便，而且有个电脑端也可以更方便整理笔记。最好不是简单放大，出一版可以更好适配大屏键鼠的。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
