Had issues however developer quickly responded!

I really like this app as it keeps track of your reading time and all your books. Had issues recently with the search and the backup but the developer responded and is working through the issues. I lost my reading streak but still love the app.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! I’m really happy to read this, and I’m especially grateful to have such passionate bookworms using Bookwise. I’m very sorry again about your reading streak. I’ll keep working on improving the backup and restore process so issues like this are much less likely to happen in the future. Thank you for your patience and for continuing to support Bookwise!

Search not working and Lost streak

Search stopped working with latest update. As I had an iCloud backup, deleted and reloaded app. Backup didn’t reload my reading streak that was over 565 days. Also my library is gone and all the books I finished aren’t listed. All it kept was number of pages read. The reload also did not fix the search. So sad as I really liked this app!!

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about this issue. We’ve tested the latest iOS update and everything seems to work on our end, so this may be a case-specific problem. Please contact our support team with more details here: https://tally.so/r/nGlNbk We’ll be glad to investigate and help fix it as soon as possible.

No going back

Accidentally forgot to log one day, your streak goes back to zero. No way of editing it. Useless.

Aesthetic

I genuinely appreciate that they take the aesthetic of the app appeals to you so you can enjoy reading and tracking it. It was the whole reason I wanted to find a good app and I downloaded a few but I like this one :)

You broke great app!

After update all my books disappeared
App loads longer

You ruined the great app!
Meh

Wanted membership to continue

I was about to log m my last chapter I was reading and it kept asking me to do a membership. I got this app so I can track my reading and not pay membership fees.

Very helpful and easy to use

his app is very helpful for tracking my reading. It is easy to use and well organized. I like that I can keep my books in one place and see my progress. It helps tell me and

Response from developer

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Happy reading 📚✨

Great app

Great app and very easy to use. I would suggest the subscription though for full benefits

Response from developer

We’re really happy to hear that. Your support means a lot to us

Classement

J’aurais aimé classer les livres par ordre alphabétique .

Response from developer

Merci pour votre retour 😊 Le classement alphabétique est déjà disponible dans Bookwise. Depuis l’écran My Library, touchez All Books, puis Sort By → Book Name pour afficher vos livres par ordre alphabétique. N’hésitez pas si vous avez d’autres questions 📚✨

An excellent book tracker

This is a brilliant app that allows you to track whatever you’re reading, and it also serves the added function of galvanizing you to read. I highly recommended it.

Pay to add books

I was enjoying this app at first, but then when adding my book collection, I was stopped and prompted to PAY to add more than 15 books. If you have a library of more than 15 books, and don’t want to pay similar to a Netflix subscription to use a glorified stopwatch, STAY AWAY.

Great App

Awesome app overall – not sure if it’s just me, but I can never seem to import my saved cloud sessions.

Response from developer

Thanks for the great review! Cloud sessions can be imported from Settings → iCloud Backup. If you run into any issues, our support team is happy to help 😊

So much things to do to just start that’s boring

A Year Later

This has been the first tracking app I have actually stuck with using consistently every single day! I love seeing the data and being able to easily scroll through my library and keep track of what I have read and what I want to read next.
Some things I’d love to see would be:
-being able to see data comparisons from specific date ranges
-year in review à la Spotify Wrapped to show annual data, number of pages/ time spent in which genres, day with most pages read, day with most sessions, most books read at a time etc.
-ability to download a PDF list of the library and session data

Thank you so much to the developers- here’s to another year of reading with Bookwise!

Encouraging

I’ve only been using for two days and I really like it. It motivates/reminds me to put down mindless scrolling and do hit my reading goals for the day.

Pushes premium way too much

Would be an absolute wonderful app if the premium option didn’t prevent you from actually using the add. Legitimately deleting bc after day three it won’t let me update anything unless i get premium option.

truly a wonderful app for anyone with ADHD / focus issues / busy schedules

I’ve struggled for so many years to be an avid reader. It’s something I knew I wanted to accomplish, but didn’t have the focus for. This app single-handedly changed that for me. I could not recommend it enough. How eager I am to read, and the accountability I have now would not be possible without Bookwise. Amazing amazing amazing. :’)
