### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-09-21*

all it needs is a wishlist section and tags, happy to pay for it too

### 4/5 — Almost perfect!

*2023-07-10*

I have been looking for a tbr app for ages! This is by far the best one I have found. It’s only missing one thing. PLEASE add an option to also be able to add books manually. Some books that I try to add are not found, also I read fanfics. I would love the option to add those manually. Other than that, PERFECT! Simple, beautiful, well organized.
