### 4/5 — Thanks!

*2022-08-10*

Consider a tip jar?
The screen display keeps 'jumping up' above the writing area.  Seems to happen when still entering text in a line with a special character active (bold, italic, quotation, etc.)

### 5/5 — Love!!

Simple and efficient. Tho I wish there were ways to create tags like Goodreads, preset other rating options like spice, character likeability, etc.

### 5/5 — Finally an Open Source gem

*2023-02-07*

I tried Library Notes early last year and I fell in love with its simplicity and abundance of features. I have tried other paid options before, but they are way too limited in what they offer for free (I think the book limit is less than 20).  What I would like to see added is an import feature for book collections. There is an app called Libby that lets you export all books read or unread as a CSV file or json file. Being able to import these into Library Notes, and take notes would make my reading experience that much more fruitful. I listen to audiobooks from Libby and it would be nice for the app to recognize audiobooks and playtimes. 

Anyway, I love the app nonetheless and the developer is great.

### 5/5 — Actually Remember What You’ve Read

*2021-11-14*

I do a lot of reading but sometimes it feels like it is going into a black hole. I think the review features in Library Notes may be the missing piece for me. I use Kindle highlights to save passages from books and Pocket to save articles. But once filed away, I only see them again if I go hunting. Library Notes has quick flashcards style reviews of quotes and the ability to make cloze deletions. This is a huge help in actually moving what I have read into longterm memory. I highly recommend this app.
