## What is MoodReads?

the only book app built for romantasy readers.

Fantasy romance (and adjacent) books tagged across 45+ fields. content ratings. tropes. mood. content warnings. emotional weight. audiobook info. all the stuff you want to know before you open to page one.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• search by content rating (closed door to open door)
• filter by trope, mood, vibe, dynamic, archetype, creature, world type
• find books by emotional payoff (book hangover, the swoon, addictive read)
• match by when/where you want to read (cozy evening, rainy weekend, vacation)
• see content warnings sorted by severity before you commit
• import your TBR from Goodreads, StoryGraph, or a Google Sheet
• organize your shelves and reading status
• join pacts and covens (reading buddy groups) with chat
• try BookMatch - tell it the trope, the vibe, the season, or "give me an Aelin" and get exact matches

BUILT FOR ROMANTASY SPECIFICALLY

most book apps treat romantasy as a footnote of romance or fantasy. MoodReads treats it as its own genre, with the metadata depth to match.

content depth. character archetypes. world types. fantasy creatures. it's all there!

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
• romantasy-first, not romance-with-fae or fantasy-with-kissing
• every book editorially reviewed, not crowdsourced chaos
• reader-funded. no ads, no data selling, no investors or corporate overlords
• built by a romantasy reader who scrolled her TBR like Netflix and finally did something about it

INNER CIRCLE

free forever for the core product (browse, search, shelves, TBR, browser extension, daily BookMatch).

the inner circle (our premium tier) unlocks unlimited BookMatch, shelf snap, the enhanced Goodreads + AO3 browser extension overlay, full reading stats (super pretty), unlimited shelves, share cards, and every future feature. (I've got some fun things planned!)

### 5/5 — Love the spice, mood, trope ratings

*2026-07-17*

Exactly what I needed to simplify my TBR

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2026-06-28*

It’s such a joy to open this on my phone. It’s really beautifully designed and offers so many unique features that you just don’t get from anything else. 

Truly one of a kind. I’m so happy this exists!

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2026-06-25*

I have really been enjoying this app! It is so fun to sort by tropes and find so many new books to read. I was in such a reading slump lately, and this app just *got me*. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! From one bookish girl to another, GET THIS.

**Developer response:** this is so kind. I’m SO glad you love it! thank you!!! 🌙

### 1/5 — It misses the mark

*2026-06-22*

This feels like a rehash of other better apps out there, just the same stuff but with less books and variety. It also felt too busy aesthetic and not fresh and new.

**Developer response:** hey, thank you for this! this review actually kicked off a whole redesign spiral and i've completely rebuilt the app. it's so much better now. if you ever feel like giving it a second chance i'd genuinely love to know what you think. thanks for the push. 💜

### 1/5 — Its a good idea

*2026-06-20*

I really wanted to like this app, however the matches are so inaccurate I might as well just stick to reddit

**Developer response:** hey - thank you for giving it a real shot, and for the honest words. accurate matching is a big part of MoodReads so a miss there stings.

i just shipped a big overhaul to how BookMatch ranks and personalizes, built around match accuracy. it's in the latest update. if you're up for one more try, it should land noticeably closer, and it keeps learning the more you use it.

if something still misses, tell us what you searched and what you hoped for. it's how this gets better. thanks for pushing us. 💜

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.11 — 2026-08-10

fixed a background sync issue that could leave the app stuck out of date - updates should land smoothly again from here.

a handful of bugs caught from real device testing, plus the usual stability cleanup.

### 1.0.10 — 2026-08-01

private books keep their whole reading history now - every reread, finish date, format and rating stays where you put it.

BookMatch tells you why a result earned its spot. VoiceOver, larger text, Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency got a serious cleanup too.

also: imports, notifications and a mildly unreasonable pile of stability fixes.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-07-22

more got a proper glow-up. your reading goal (and pet, if you have one) now live at the top, shelf sorting can stack filter after filter, and your little reading receipts end with one very pretty wrapped card to share.

also: book endings stay hidden until you press and hold for three seconds. no more accidental emotional damage.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-18

Audiobooks have their own corner now. Track what you listen to and leave a private rating, separate from the books you read with your eyes.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-07-07

we redesigned the whole app. come take a look.

point your camera at a book.

the scanner is here - scan any barcode and the book lands on your shelf, whether it's in our catalog or one you shelve by hand. adding books is a whole new flow: scan it, search it, or type it in yourself.

inner circle members also get shelf snap - photograph a whole bookshelf and we'll recognize what's on it.

the home screen sky is alive now too - it follows your actual sunrise, sunset, and moon, wherever you are.

added a little 11:11 whimsy.

also: the scrying orb got prettier, great hall book links work again, and a pile of stability fixes. huge update!
