## What is BooksMy?

BooksMy is a reading journal for every book you read, whether it’s on paper, on an e-reader, or in your ears. Time your sessions, save the lines you love, and watch your reading habit grow. No account, no sign-up.

TIME EVERY SESSION
Start the timer when you open your book and follow it live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. When you stop, log your page, a quick note, and the book’s status in one step. BooksMy keeps your full reading history, charts for each book, and an estimate of how much time you have left. Track print, ebooks, and audiobooks by page or percentage, along with pauses, rereads, and books you didn’t finish.

KEEP THE LINES YOU LOVE
Save quotes and notes with the page, chapter, and time. Scan text straight from the page with your camera or a photo, or simply dictate. Add tags and favorites, then search, filter, and share your quotes as polished images. Drafts you didn’t save are waiting when you come back.

GOALS YOU’LL ACTUALLY KEEP
Set daily time or page goals and monthly or yearly book goals, then build streaks with reminders on the days you choose, up to three times a day. Your statistics show time, pages, and books for any period, your most active days, and how you compare with the period before. Look back with monthly and yearly calendars and your Year in Review, and share a reading card in square, portrait, or story size.

ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN
Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen. Your current book, daily goal, and streak on Apple Watch. Siri and Shortcuts to pause or resume your session timer, scan a barcode, or jump to your stats.

ADD BOOKS IN SECONDS
Scan one barcode or a whole stack in a row, or search by title, author, or ISBN and add several results at once. Adding by hand? Snap your own cover. BooksMy warns you about duplicates and keeps track of series, volumes, and editions.

A LIBRARY THAT ORGANIZES ITSELF
Reading, To Read, Finished, and Did Not Finish shelves, your own lists, and smart lists that fill themselves by rating, series, mood, location, loans, and more. Rate plot, characters, writing, and atmosphere separately. Remember who borrowed which book and when it’s due, and which shelf, room, or box every book lives in.

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR DATA
Back up to your own iCloud account manually or automatically, and restore on a new device. Import and export CSV, including your Goodreads library, and preview every import before anything changes. Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. Your library doesn’t sync automatically between devices.

Light and Dark mode, four accent colors, large text support, a side-by-side layout on iPad, and 34 languages.

FREE TO START
Your first 10 books are free. After that, add each new book by watching a short ad; importing a CSV that takes your library past 10 books is a Pro feature. Ads may also appear when you open the free version. A one-time BooksMy Pro purchase removes the book limit and all ads. Already bought Pro? Go to Settings › Pro features › Restore Purchases.

PLEASE NOTE
BooksMy tracks your reading. It doesn’t include, sell, or play ebooks or audiobooks.

### 3/5 — Scannen nervt

*2026-10-16*

An sich bin ich recht zufrieden mit der App. Sie ist übersichtlich, man kann Listen erstellen etc. Nervig ist nur, dass man super viele Bücher nicht scannen kann und die werden automatisch gefunden, sondern man muss fast alles manuell eintragen. Da ich die Listen aber nur führe, damit ich nicht ausversehen Bücher doppelt kaufe, funktioniert es für mich.

### 5/5 — Fabulous Little App

*2026-05-30, version 2.2.1*

Simple and straightforward to use. Great for keeping reading records and building lists. Does exactly what it says on the tin!

### 2/5 — 10 Bücher?!

*2026-04-13*

Bisher war ich unglaublich zufrieden mit der App und musste jetzt aber feststellen, dass man nur noch bis zu 10 (Im Ernst?! Das ist ja gar nichts ☹️) einspeisen kann, ohne Geld bezahlen zu müssen.
Super enttäuschend!

### 3/5 — Update beschränkt heimlich auf 10 Bücher

*2026-04-07*

Meine ursprüngliche Rezension wurde wegen angeblicher Verstöße der Apple-Richtlinien entfernt, obwohl ich lediglich auf zwei Fakten hingewiesen habe. Diese sind:

1. Durch das jüngste Update, welches angeblich nur technische Verbesserungen und Verbesserung des „Nutzererlebnisses“ enthielten, wurde kommentarlos die Beschränkung auf 10 Bücher eingeführt. In der App können also ohne Bezahlung nicht mehr als 10 Bücher verwaltet werden. Vor dem Update gab es keine Beschränkung. Wäre diese Einschränkung nicht heimlich erfolgt, sondern offen und ehrlich, hätte ich den In-App-Kauf bezahlt, auf diese Weise jedoch nicht. Weder in der Updatebeschreibung noch in der eigentlichen Beschreibung der App steht etwas von der Beschränkung. Jetzt übertrage ich händisch alle Inhalte in ein anderes Programm.
2. Abzüge gebe ich zudem, weil auch seit Jahren die App nicht auf das Querformat des iPad angepaßt wurde.

So, liebes Apple, wie verstoßen diese beiden Faktennennungen gegen eure Nutzungsbedinungen?

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. You are right that the free-plan limit should have been communicated more clearly.

BooksMy’s free version now supports up to 10 books, while Pro unlocks unlimited books. I have updated the App Store description so this is clear before downloading or updating.

I’m sorry for the frustration this caused, and I appreciate you pointing it out.

### 1/5 — Verwaltung der Bücher war mal gut

*2026-04-04*

Die App hat stark nachgelassen. Früher konnte ich unbegrenzt Bücher speichern jetzt wird nach 10 Büchern eine Pro Version verlangt. Mit der Werbung konnte ich mich früher zufrieden geben jetzt kann ich sie nur noch löschen.

### 5/5 — Déçue

*2026-02-03*

J’utilise cette application depuis 2023. Idéale pour conserver la liste des livres lus. Une appli simple et efficace. J’ai même acheté la version complète afin de pouvoir enregistrer plusieurs listes pour m’organiser. 
Et d’un seul coup, grosse déception ! Il m’est devenu impossible d’ajouter de nouveaux livres à l’aide du code barre ou de la recherche… Que s’est-il passé ?

### 3/5 — Плохое приложение

*2026-01-16*

Я не могу читать😭

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-12-15*

Best user friendly book library app to keep track of my books. I love it. Keeps me from doubling up on books.

### 5/5 — Macht was es soll

*2025-11-15*

Ich lese mehrere Serien parallel und verliere manchmal den Überblick welchen Band ich noch kaufen muss, lesen muss oder gelesen habe. Bisher macht die App einen sehr guten Eindruck. Vermutlich wird es komplizierter, wenn ich mehrere tausend Bücher angelegt habe, aber heute bin ich erst bei 20, das klappt gut

### 4/5 — Mais ou menos

*2025-04-05*

Ele deveria ter a linguagem espanhola e brasileira que éele não possui
