### 2/5 — Book missing

*2026-10-21*

While the design is good, unfortunately, a lot of the books that I've searched for are not available in the database, and some of them are very popular books. So, at this stage, I don't think I'm going to move from my previous app tracker to this one.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the comment on the design. We put a lot of love into it! Curious as to which books you’re not seeing though— if you can, please send us an email at hello@excerpta.ink so we can help!

### 5/5 — One the cleanest UX’s for a book tracker

*2026-10-23*

So many little gem features and functionalities,I really enjoyed using this! I’ve tried a lot of book tracking apps but this one is top tier.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! I put a lot of care into those little details, so it means so much that you noticed and enjoyed them. Happy reading!

### 5/5 — Almost great

*2026-10-21*

I wanted to love this app. Visually, it’s very well-done. The icon, the animations, and the design look beautiful. Conceptually, it’s also well-executed. I already have several book trackers, and wasn’t looking for another. I was looking for a place to save my favorite quotes from books, but that functionality is also behind the paywall. If you’re looking for a primary book tracker, the price is great. For me, it’s just a little too much to save quotes. Maybe a lite version that lets users save quotes and more features like book tracking are behind the paywall? Also, mad respect for “No Data Collected.”

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this thoughtful review, and I  appreciate the comments about the design and animations. A lot of love went into those details, so it means a great deal that they stood out to you.

I completely understand wanting a simple place just for your favorite quotes, and I'm sorry Excerpta wasn't quite the right fit this time. As an indie app with no ads, keeping it running comes with some ongoing costs, and I've tried to price it as fairly as I can. There's a one-time purchase option for anyone who'd rather not subscribe, but I do understand considering you’re using others at the same time. 

Thank you as well for noticing "No Data Collected." It’s really not needed for any book app. Happy Reading!
