1. Book Match Score Before you start a book, see how well it fits you. A personalised compatibility score — powered by your reading history, favourite genres and style — tells you how likely you are to enjoy it. Tap “Why this score?” for the full breakdown. 2. Reading DNA Discover your reading personality. We analyse what you read and how you read it to assign you one of 48 unique combinations — an archetype (like Adventure Explorer or Wisdom Seeker) paired with a reading style (like The Steady Pacer or The Deep Diver). It evolves as you do. 3. Stacks Bundle your favourite books into shareable collections. Give your Stack a name, share the code, and let friends import the whole list in seconds. Perfect for “best of” lists, book club picks or holiday recommendations. 4. Stats — completely redesigned Your reading life, visualised. New additions include reading streaks, pace tracking, a genre evolution timeline, monthly and yearly comparisons, and an emotion heatmap showing how books made you feel over time. 5. Themes Make HootPerch yours. Choose from five visual themes — including Green Night, Midnight Navy and a cosy Winter mode — or stay with the classic light look. 6. Mature content handling Books flagged as 18+ now have their covers tastefully blurred. Tap the eye icon to reveal. Keeps the browsing experience comfortable for all ages. 7. Bookshelf Scanner Point your camera at a shelf and add multiple books at once. HootPerch detects covers and matches them to titles automatically — the fastest way to import your library. 8. Get This Book Found your next read? Buy or listen right from the book page. We’ve partnered with Amazon, Bookshop.org, Kobo, Hive, Waterstones, Let’s Buy Books and more, so you can support the retailer you prefer. 9. Reading Wrapped Your reading journey in five beautiful, shareable cards — your numbers, your Reading DNA, your challenge highlights and your year in books. Share them on social or save to your camera roll. Plus: performance improvements and bug fixes throughout.
