Hopeful
I am hoping the bugs get worked out on this app. I enjoy it when it will open for me and not kick me off and close down constantly. Not sure why that is happening but it is.
Response from developer
Hey there! Thanks for the honest feedback. I’m working to address as much as I can. If you want to check out the latest version, I fixed some crashes. Otherwise, head to settings and there is a send feedback form that gives me some more details about what might be happening. Best, Phil
Great app!
This app is well polished and the interface is very nice to see and use! Highly recommend! Love it better then StoryGraph and good reads! Highly recommend and I don’t leave reviews like ever but I had to with this app! Now stop reading this and download the app already!
This App’s a Hoot
Loving BookOwl so far. Very user friendly. Expansive library, has all the books I’ve searched for. A fresh take on other book apps.
Getting back into reading
I’m getting back into reading more after grad school and I loved the ability to move my Goodreads books over to keep that history while also being able to better rate books with more distinction between them!!! So excited about the reader journey and the way reading will be more gamified to help me hit my reading goals this year!

Excellent tool!
This app checks a lot of boxes for me. The ui/ux is clean and simple and it just works. Fills a great use case and plan on continuing to use the app!!
Finally, a high quality book app
I just appreciate the design of this, the thoughtfulness and, the app experience. The easiness to be able to scan, track, and also discover, which is so cool. This is in comparison to using traditional apps like Goodreads etc. I finally feel like this is the app that books deserve, that encourages you to read (especially for those who struggle with it) and gets you excited!
Love the app experience. Feels modern! Plus I found a book I definitely would not have read!

Beautiful reading tracker
I’ve tried a lot of apps for tracking my library, and I’ve always ended up back on Goodreads which I can’t stand. This finally seems like one that might stick! The app is really well designed and I love the reading stats and reader journey. Nice touch.
Great app
Great app that’s thoughtfully done. Really attention to detail that Goodreads totally misses the mark on.
Beautiful and Intuitive!
I’ve been looking for an alternative to GoodReads, and this is it! I love how it tracks and the UI is so nice!!
Favorite reading tracking app!
I love BookOwl. It makes it so much easier to track the books I read!
Reading as a designer.
I truly appreciate this app. It’s well designed and encourages me to stay engaged and excited on my reading goals.
The app I’ve been waiting for as a (slow) reader
I am a working mom who hasn’t read as much as I’d like since my son was born several years ago. I’ve felt like a “wannabe reader” for a while now, someone who loves books but barely has time to finish them. BookOwl has completely changed how I see myself.
The personalized insights are what really set this apart. It doesn’t just track what you read, it helps you learn about yourself as a reader. I feel like I’m actively discovering my tastes and patterns instead of just passively consuming books. That alone makes me feel more motivated and excited about reading than I have in years.
I also love that even browsing in a bookstore feels purposeful now. I can scan a book I’m curious about, add it to my library, and let the app help me figure out what to pick up next. The camera feature for adding books is such a thoughtful, practical use of AI, no tedious searching or typing.
The app is also gorgeous. ✨ The animations are fluid, the design is elegant, and every interaction feels intentional. It’s clear that a lot of care went into this.
Whether you’re a voracious reader or a slow one like me, BookOwl makes you feel like a reader, and that’s everything. This is the app I’ve been waiting for.

Really enjoying this as an alternative to GoodReads and StoryGraph! It feels clean and modern, and I easily found the books I was looking for.
