Fantastic app except for the crashes

I love this app and being able to keep track of my books I own, have read, and am reading currently. Only complaint I have is that every time I go to look at my to read shelf, the app crashes. I can’t even scroll down before it crashes. If it wasn’t for that, this would be a 5 star app for sure!

Best Book Tracker Finally

We’ve been looking and testing and looking again. This is the best book tracking app by a wide margin.

Great interface. Intuitive and pleasing.
Very, very low footprint for social. (Please keep it this way)
Easy to add, maintain, customize, and enjoy.
Very transparent about what’s being worked on. Great developer communication.
All the other features you want. And none of the ones that just create fluff and unnecessary cruft.
This is a book lover’s app.

Great app, but…

there are a few bugs that get in the way of enjoying it. There are clearly issues with the dropdown menu and pop‑up windows – they flicker, open, and then disappear. It's impossible to edit a book or move it; you literally have to catch the menu as it appears. Sharing doesn't work either. The problem occurs on an iPad a16.

Easily helps me choose my next read!

I’m really enjoying using this app even though I’ve been a loyal Goodreads user for years. My physical tbr keeps increasing and my bookshelves are so stacked with books, I can’t easily see what I have.

So having a feature where virtual shelves show my books has made it so easy to pick my next read. I’ve been really struggling with that so this app has been a godsend.

It’s also been really easy to navigate the app. I think I have manually uploaded about 80% of the books I have and it took barely a few hours. They do have an import feature but I haven’t used it.

Another feature I’ve recently started using is the reading log. So it accurately tracks my reading speed and now it shows the time it will take to read any of the books on my shelves. It’s actually stopped me from falling into a book slump as I choose books more wisely now.

Lastly, it has helped me when I’m at the bookstore as even though I have a spreadsheet of all the books I own, here I just need to glance at the shelves to know the cover/edition of the books I already have.

So thanks for creating this app, it is really great and I hope you keep growing!

Great app

AMAZING APP AND SO HELPFUL! Tracks everything, the time it takes to read a book, and you can write entries for chapters. Tracks how many books you read and how long. Able to add reviews for others and aesthetically pleasing.
