User reviews

Good on both iPhone and iPad

This is a nice companion app if you have access to a BookOrbit server. Kinda rough at first, but quickly improving. I’d love to see magic link support for logging in, in the future.

Magnifique !!

Application parfaite ! J’en ai testé beaucoup pendant de longues années ! Et voici enfin lappli parfaite ! Fluide ! Rapide et précise ! Un grand merci !!!! 🙏

Apogee is Better

Though currently in Beta still and requiring apple test flight it is a much better app.

Love it

Absolutely love this. It’s everything I ever wanted. Sync is getting better and better! Just need meta data auto grabber to continue being improved. Big thing care about is metadata Organization, and I hope it continues to improve.

Loving it so far, but please change the app background

Hello! Love the app and the docker install. Tried grimmory but it had some issues that I don’t seem to have here and plan on migrating from abs and kavita to book orbit!

Love the app and all the functionality but please, change the background in the app. The thin circle looks like a piece of hair and it’s driving me crazy 😩 I keep trying to brush it off my screen lol otherwise I plan to become a supporter after migrating my library. Cheers!
