### 5/5 — A Book Lover’s Dream

*2025-09-25, version 2.0.1*

If you’re someone who love books this is a must have app. It fees like it is designed and built by true book lovers!! It’s a full blown reading companion that outshines anything else I’ve used in this space (yes, even Goodreads!). If you want a companion in your reading journey, this is it!!

### 5/5 — Organized Way to Read More

*2025-09-21*

I really liked using the BookStats app! The UI is clean and user-friendly, and I especially enjoy the stats reports that show my reading progress. The badges are a fun touch and keep me motivated. It’s exactly the kind of app you need to track how much you read, stay organized, and keep all your book info in one place. Highly recommend it to any reader who wants to make their reading journey more engaging and structured!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind and motivating words! This gives a lot of encouragement to keep pushing! Thank you for being a reader on BookStates! 🙂

### 5/5 — Rediscovering Reading with BookStates

*2025-07-17*

Even as an occasional reader, BookStates has helped me reconnect with books on a whole new level. It’s become my go-to app for unwinding after a busy day. I’ve discovered new titles, gained fresh insights into my reading preferences, and now have a clearer sense of what I want to explore next.

### 5/5 — A mindful & insightful reading tracker! 🍀

*2025-06-26*

As a young adult shaped by the perpetual noise of social media, I found myself longing to read the way I did as a child — voraciously, curiously, without urgency or outcome — when reading was pure immersion, not performance.

But none of the reading trackers I’d tried felt right. They were focused on speed, goals, and showing up, rather than slowing down. They couldn’t create a space for me to relish books as quiet, personal joys.

What I love most about BookStates is that it honours the ‘why’ of reading. It’s designed for the reader to engage with the revelations that come from the discovery and perusal of different books. With an elegant interface, beautiful visualisations, and effective insights, it attempts to trace who you’re becoming through what you read. 

Adit philosophised the idea that reading can build the architecture for our inner world, and I think BookStates is determined to become the blueprint. I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — A great personal reading companion! 🌸

*2025-06-25*

Bookstates isn’t just another reading tracker—it truly feels like a personal reading companion that understands me. I absolutely love how it goes beyond genres and recommends books based on my mood and deeper reading patterns. It’s helped me explore titles I wouldn’t have normally picked, and every suggestion feels meaningful and intentional.

One of my favorite features is how it analyzes my reading archetype and suggests ways to expand my shelf. The “reading compatibility” check for new books is such a smart way to make sure a title fits into my growth path—it’s like it knows where I’ve been and where I should go next in my reading journey.

The app makes reading feel more personal and enriching. It’s not just about what I’ve read, but about helping me grow with what I need to read. Plus, the streak tracker and insights into my habits help me plan reading time better—even with a packed schedule.

If you’re someone who wants to be more intentional about your reading life, or just want to discover books that truly resonate with who you are, I can’t recommend Bookstates enough. Give it a try—you’ll be surprised how well it “gets” you. 💛📖
