### 5/5 — perfeito

*2026-07-09*

pra tentar achar um book tracker bom, baixei 10 apps que achei aqui, e o Folio foi de longe o melhor.
Tanto pela versão padrão que é ótima, quanto pela premium que acrescenta vários incrementos utilitários.
Por favor NUNCA tirem esse app do ar!!!!

### 5/5 — The best Books app tracker

*2026-06-07*

I tried many different book trackers, and this is by far the best one. It has a super clean interface, great widgets, and it’s very easy to find all your books along with all the associated data.

The best part is that the free version is already enough for almost everything. And if you want to unlock more features you can make a one-time lifetime payment, which is a great option.

I really recommend it if you want to track your books, motivate yourself to read more (with objectives), and add notes so you never forget why you liked certain books.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-05-31*

Edit - Widgets added! 

The only thing missing is widgets! Other than that this app has so much and it's free, not sure why people don't know about this app. Minimalist at its finest

**Developer response:** Widgets are now live! Thanks a lot for the kind words

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-05-09*

I've been using this app and really liked it so far. It's simple, beautifully designed, and has all the important features you need. Here are a few recommendations that I think could make it even better:

1. There should be a way to update the progress based on the percentage read as well because when I'm reading on e-book readers, the page numbers may not match with the physical book.
2. When adding notes, it would be wonderful if I could timestamp them or specify the section of the book on which the note is based.
3. Adding a widget could make it easier to get a snapshot of where we are.
4. A two-way sync with Goodreads could be useful, although not absolutely necessary.
5. Perhaps a discovery section based on reviews of books we've read could personalise the experience.

Overall, it's still a great app—quite stable and working extremely well.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'll answer in order: 
1. This is now implemented, thanks for the idea :) 
2. Recently we added Quotes, which should be similar to what you're looking for
3. Widgets are now available! 
4. I dont think it's possible anymore, a few years ago Goodreads removed their public API :( I'll look into this anyway, would be a cool feature.
5. Discovery section is now live :)

### 5/5 — Best Reading Tracker for Book Lovers
