### 1/5 — Where is the plus?

*2023-03-14, version 2.0*

There is no manual button or plus sign when it prompts you to press the plus’s sign and I just downloaded the app. I don’t even want to give you 1 star. Where is the plus sign?

### 2/5 — Awful

*2022-04-13, version 1.4*

Rating it 2 stars because I like the idea, however, the app crashes every time I try to log my progress.

### 4/5 — Awesome free reading tracker!

*2022-01-09, version 1.4*

So far so good! Like any app, I think there could be improvements. But I am enjoying the interface and utility of this app! Pros:
-You can manually add books
-You can add unlimited books
-You can input past reads to track previous years 
-Tags allow you to sort your books into categories for easy finding
-You can track your pages read on each individual book
-Nice user interface with muted tones
-Most books can be imported in with Google
-NO ADS OR SUBSCRIPTION!!!! :)

Cons
-App crashes every so often 
-Tracks total pages read, but not pages read in a year/month
-Filters on library not being labeled were confusing at first
-!!!!! Unable to add pictures of a cover to manually added books !!!!!
-I would love to see added utility for tracking online comics/WEBTOONs 

All in all, thanks developers!! This is a free app, and is pretty high quality at that. Hope you are still here working on the app and can check out a few of my suggestions :)
