### 2/5 — No app support

*2026-02-11, version 2.1.2*

Has always been simply terrific but now locked up with no access to data. Support Email only works for resetting pw but was returned as nonexistent email addy when I sent an email saying app was locked up. Had to reset my phone and now reloading apps but this app is stuck on a synchronization screen (for a couple days now).  Deleted app and tried again - nada. Nothing available on FB page for support as suggested and do not see another way to reach them. Last info is from several years ago. Disappointing to lose years of reading history and notes. Update: Thankfully I decided to try the former version to capture my data which worked but older app is discombobulated and newer HD app version still says synching and is locked up. So grateful all was not lost and I am able to access years worth of reading. Older app version does not show same stats (ie:annual reading etc) so would like to download info to store in case this happens again. Following instructions for creating cvs file but the link shown goes to blank page. Have subscription so hoping developer will get in touch or respond so it will work.

### 3/5 — Cash problem

*2020-09-29, version 2.1*

With the latest update to IOS 14, the app on my iPad will open but is unresponsive.  
I love this app and use it a lot.  Please send a fix soon.  I have not had a problem on my phone.

### 2/5 — 기기간 싱크문제

*2020-01-10, version 2.1*

아이패드와 아이폰에서 둘다 사용하고 있는 유저입니다. 두 기기간 싱크가 필요해서 프리미엄을 구입해서 매년 비용을 지불하고 있는데 언제부터인가 아이폰으로 싱크가 전혀 되고 있지 않습니다. 싱크가 되고 있다는 표시는 나오지만 아무리 시간이 지나도 되지 않아요. 이 문제가 어떻게 해결될 수 있는지 답변해주시면 좋겠고 버그라면 조속히 해결해주시길 바랍니다. 이 가능때문에 유료앱으로 그것도 매년 비용을 지불하고 있는 고객들이 있다는 사실을 무겁게 인지하시고 책임감을 가지고 하루빨리 해결해주시고 업데이트 내용을 앱스토어에 공지해주십시오.

### 2/5 — Still broken in iOS 13

*2019-11-09, version 2.1*

I’ve loved this app for years, but iOS 13 broke it and it still isn’t fixed. I emailed the developer but got no response. 

Adding a bookmark with the percentage dial doesn’t work. 

Marking a book on your Now Reading shelf as finished doesn’t remove it from the shelf and sets it back to 0% read. 

And there are other problems. I sure hope the developer can fix this wonderful app and make it useful again!

### 3/5 — Desatualizado

*2019-09-30, version 2.0.8*

Muito bom o aplicativo, mas cade as atualizações???

### 2/5 — Crashes when I try to add photos

*2019-03-01, version 2.0.8*

I recently purchased it and am pretty happy with its features. But when I tried to add the second photo to a book, it keep crashing. It got stuck to the photo and I cannot get it out of that screen except for turning off the phone.

### 4/5 — Not Easy to Delete Books

*2018-09-19, version 2.0.8*

I like the app. It organizes the books perfectly but it is a pain when comes to deleting books. Having to go into each individual book to delete can be very time consuming. That one simple change would take this from a 4 to a 5 star app.

### 4/5 — Love it but a crash

*2018-01-28, version 2.0.8*

I have been using it for several years with satisfaction. By far it is the best book app for me: I can search books or manually enter book information, underline and make note, it also provides statistics about how my reading goes. It works quite seemlessly mostly, but I noticed it crashes when I choose a different year than 2018 in the “statistics” menu. It worked before I updated iOS to version 11. I hope this bug fixed soon!

### 2/5 — Was good

*2018-01-03, version 2.0.8*

This app used to work well but now it struggles to show stats for different years, it doesn’t seem possible to go back and look at number of books read in 2017 for instance ... app just freezes.

### 3/5 — Needs Goodreads Integration

*2017-02-10, version 2.0.6*

Would easily be a 5 star app if it had the ability to sync with Goodreads. A reading timer so you could have pages per minute and minutes to finish would also be great.

### 1/5 — Update disaster

*2016-01-11, version 2.0*

I've used this app for a few months and it was the best of its kind for cataloging my 1,300 books and listing what I wanted to get next. As you can imagine, this took some time to do. Unfortunately when the latest update took place it now crashes before it can load onto the app. I've tried reloading the app and everything else I know, but to no avail. Now I'm extremely frustrated and have wasted hours putting everything onto this app. Please, please sort it out!

### 3/5 — Goodreads automatic transfer

*2015-02-03, version 1.3.3*

Although this seems like it would be great at keeping track of and organizing books, I'd really appreciate it more if the app had a way of automatically copying info from other popular book apps such as Goodreads into its own system automatically; I bought this thinking it would be really great and helpful, but I haven't even used it once since I bought it 3 weeks ago or so because the task of transferring my information from Goodreads is just so daunting and the sheer idea of it stresses me out.

### 1/5 — Privacy concerns

*2014-05-18, version 1.2*

This app requires the creation of an online backup account in order to use any features.  If you have any privacy concerns about the mandatory transfer of your private data - book lists, reading metrics, email address - to a third party, you should steer clear of this app.

Online backup is not required for app functionality and should be an option, rather than a requirement.  The developer did respond to email regarding this concern, but gave no indication of understanding the privacy issue or of willingness to upgrade online backup from a requirement to an option.

### 1/5 — Search Function

*2026-07-23, version 2.1.2*

I just can’t get the search function to work. I have to manually input each book which makes no sense. This is not a great app but I keep using it because all my books are here. But I think it’s time to bite the bullet and move on.

### 1/5 — App stopped syncing, No support

*2026-03-09, version 2.1.2*

I have used this app for over 10 years and have paid the premium subscription every year. For more than 6 months the app has stopped syncing and I have tried multiple times to contact the developer with no response. So please think twice before paying for a premium subscription

### 1/5 — Can’t access my account

*2025-08-23, version 2.1.2*

I can’t access my account because my email address changed. I can’t get any help to change it from anyone including Apple

### 1/5 — No support

*2024-02-04, version 2.1.2*

I don’t think this app is supported anymore. It’s a different app for the phone than for the iPad. By paying a fee, the apps will sync, so at least the lists are the same. However, there is no bar code scan in the phone app. And when one wants to add a photo for a book because there is non available online, both apps crash. Just doesn’t work. So I guess I am paying Wonjae Choi $2.99 a year for something old and no longer stable. I would like to find a new app, but it’s daunting to think I have 1000+ books on this app!

### 1/5 — Stuck at verification

*2023-12-18, version 2.1.2*

I have not even been able to create an account it ask for an email for verification, then states that it has been sent but I never get an email verification.

### 1/5 — No support

*2021-01-11, version 2.1.1*

I have been using this app for years. It was one of the first I got for my iPhone. I loved it. Then I got it for my iPad and paid to be able to sync between the two. I could never get it to work. I was able to send an email with my problem and got a quick response, but I still could  not get it to work, so I gave up. All of a sudden in December 2020, the app on my iPhone wouldn’t open. When I touch the app, it opens and immediately closes. I tried making sure I had all the Apple updates done. Still doesn’t work. I decided to see if I could get the app to work on my iPad. And it did! And I was able to get it to sync and load all my data. So I deleted the app on my phone, then redownloaded it. Still doesn’t work. So I tried downloading the older app (not the HD). I was able to log in but when it tries to sync, it reaches 47% and never gets any farther. I found a support email and sent my problem to the developer. That was weeks ago. No response. It’s a great app. But I want it on both my iPhone and my iPad. I am paying for that subscription. So where is the support?

### 1/5 — Cannot use it

*2021-01-10*

I paid for 4.95dollars. However, I never use it.
Because that is now working.
Only I can see ‘preparing data’.
I would like to get a refund.

### 1/5 — Locked out

*2020-07-18, version 2.1*

After using this app for over 10 years I can’t get into my account. Lost info on 1000 books. No response from support.

### 1/5 — No longer worth bothering with

*2020-03-06, version 2.1*

I had more than 700 books on this app and had been a premium member last year. Sent several emails to the developer from both devices and he never responded. Never did synch my iPad all year to the reads I had entered from my iPhone. 

Then my premium membership runs out so the account is locked. I waited and waited for a 3 part process : sync- archive - device and server to switch to a standard acct with my iPhone. Just froze in process 2 hours on WiFi waiting. 

Something seriously wrong here. So I decide to start a new account and begin again for 2020. And the stupid passcode system he makes the new account go through via email by an assigned code does not work either. 

—————-

Having logged in >100 reads in 2013, the iPod Touch/iPhone version of this app has ranked 'up there' on 1st page apps in spite of its refusal to go universal. I thrilled to hear its developer had finally come round to accommodate the iPad.

In short, it's worth the bucks to upgrade and synch your books over. I had some difficulties hauling in all my reads,  but a the developer's prompt and kindly email response with instructions assisted the change-over handily.

Bravo! for a 'sweet' app

### 1/5 — I can't access this app

*2016-12-01, version 2.0.6*

I have paid for this app and set up an account so that I can access it but have not received an activation PIN so cannot access the app. I have emailed the support centre but have had no reply. Please sort this out immediately or refund my payment.

### 5/5 — 📚 one of my favourite apps

*2019-10-09, version 2.1*

I love this app I love to read and enjoy using this app to keep a track of my progress.  I have been using it for several years and I remain loyal as I have not come across any other app that works as well for a reasonable subscription.  Thank you to the developer for providing this app and maintaining it. Thx

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-12-17, version 2.0.8*

I have paid for the Premium App for several years now to keep track of the books I want to read and have read. The Premium app synchronizes books between IPad and IPhone which I find wonderful!

### 5/5 — Essential

*2018-04-10, version 2.0.8*

Love this app! 
I use it for years, almost everyday.
It generates really nice graphics and statistics about the books you read.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2017-05-19, version 2.0.6*

Searched for a long time to find an app that will track my reading.  This does exactly what it says on the tin. Straightforward and does everything you want without over complicating. Recommended

### 5/5 — Good

*2016-01-13, version 2.0*

분류가 체계적이고 디자인도 심플해서 좋아요. 써 본 도서관리 앱 중에서 젤 좋은 듯! 근데 <천과 지4><사랑하는 날개는 너에게> 이 책들이 등록만 되고 등록 후 들어가려고 하면 계속 튕기네요. 옛날 책이라 그런건지.. 앱 수정 부탁드려요^^

### 5/5 — Great and helpful for myself

*2014-04-19, version 1.1.8*

It is an great app that I use most frequentely. 
I can organize my own reading history and i needed it. 
There is a iphone version too. 
Thank you to make this helpful app.

### 5/5 — Gooooooooood!!

*2014-03-09, version 1.1.6*

Good!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app for book lovers

*2014-01-31, version 1.1*

I love this app. First rate support from the developer. An excellent way to record books I'm reading and have read. Lovely touches, looks great and is customisable. Is genuinely inspiring me to read more and actually finish what I'm reading. Wonderful. 

There have also been several updates now since I bought this, with new features added all the time. The developer is really interested and involved in this project.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-12-19, version 1.0.1*

I love this Awesome App.

### 4/5 — Bookmark not working

*2019-10-11, version 2.1*

Since the IOS 13 update the Bookmark feature won’t save unless I turn off my iPhone and back on, then it shows as saved.  Same issue when marking a book read.
I really like the app & have been using if for a long time so I hope the developer fixes this problem.
