User reviews

Cool idea, needs some work

I started a timer on one book and then I ended that timer, deleted the book and it won’t let me start a timer on a different book despite the previous book being removed. Seems a little silly that I can’t start a timer ever again without paying for the subscription. All in all the app is really neat so I might still go for the subscription. But there should be a little more freedom for free users. It seems pretty unfair.

Response from developer

Thank you for giving Must Read a real go, and for the honest review. On the free plan the reading timer belongs to the first book you time, and it stays with that book even after the book is removed, so the lock you hit was the free plan working as designed. I understand why it felt unfair, and your review is the kind that helps me shape the free plan. Thank you for the kind words about the rest of the app. If anything else feels off, tap Contact us in your Profile and it comes straight to me.

Gute Idee, leider keine Kindle-Integration

Ohne Kindle-Integration für mich leider nicht nutzbar

Response from developer

Danke für das ehrliche Feedback, der Wunsch ist verständlich, und wir möchten offen erklären, warum es die Kindle-Anbindung heute nicht gibt. Kindle: Amazon stellt keine öffentliche Schnittstelle zur Kindle-Bibliothek oder zum Lesefortschritt bereit, auch die großen Lese-Tracker haben keine. Wo „Kindle-Integration“ draufsteht, steckt ein Umweg dahinter: ein Foto der Kindle-Seite, manuelle Eingabe oder eine inoffizielle Schnittstelle, die regelmäßig bricht. Der Weg über Goodreads („Amazon-Käufe hinzufügen“) funktioniert zudem nur mit amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.ca und amazon.com.au, nicht mit amazon.de. Was heute geht: Bücher per Suche oder Scanner anlegen, die Rückseite eines Buches reicht. Der Lesefortschritt wird beim Lesen mit dem Timer festgehalten, auf dem Sperrbildschirm und der Watch. Wer seine Bibliothek bereits bei Goodreads oder StoryGraph geführt hat, importiert die CSV in einem Schritt unter Einstellungen › Importieren, Bücher, Bewertungen und Lesedaten kommen mit. Sobald Amazon eine Schnittstelle öffnet, bauen wir sie ein. Bis dahin ist Must Read die Heimat für alles, was man liest, egal ob auf Papier, Kindle oder als Hörbuch. Falls Sie es noch einmal probieren möchten: hello@mustreadapp.com, wir helfen beim Umzug der Bibliothek.

Guter Tracker

Leider ist die Buchsuche etwas überfrachtet mit zig Veröffentlichung des gleichen Buchs, Hörbüchern, Hörspielen etc.
es gibt keine Filter um vernünftig Sachen auszuschließen von den Dopplungen.
Rufus schlägt leider fremdsprachige und irrelevante Sachen vor.

Zudem ist der geforderte Preis einfach utopisch. Sowohl als Abo als auch der Einmalkauf. So wird das leider nix

Response from developer

Danke für das ehrliche Feedback, alle drei Punkte sind berechtigt. Suche: Die Ergebnisse zeigen derzeit jede Ausgabe einzeln, deshalb stehen Hörbuch, Taschenbuch und Neuauflage nebeneinander. Ein Eintrag pro Buch, die deutsche Ausgabe oben, die übrigen eingeklappt darunter: das steht auf der Roadmap. Bis dahin hilft der Scanner: Er findet genau die Ausgabe, die man in der Hand hält. Rufus: „Rufus empfiehlt“ zeigt im Moment in allen Ländern dieselbe Auswahl, fast nur englische Titel. Für Deutschland passt das nicht, das haben wir notiert. Die übrigen Regale unter „Entdecken“ (Bestseller Deutschland, Deutsche Autoren, Krimi & Thriller) sind eigens für Deutschland kuratiert. Preis: Ohne Abo bleiben Suche, Scanner, Statistiken, Widgets, die Watch-App und „Frag Rufus“ kostenlos nutzbar, mit Platz für 10 Bücher. Pro ist optional und finanziert die Weiterentwicklung. Die Kritik am Preis nehmen wir mit.

Great reading tracker

Easy to use, great added extras, visually appealing. Highly recommend

Response from developer

Thank you! Lovely to hear the added extras are earning their keep. Plenty more on the way, enjoy your reading.

This app does everything right!

The bookshelf widget is beautiful, the share cards make it actually fun to share what you're reading on your socials, reading timer, and the stats you get is a nice touch!
I transferred my entire Goodreads library over and couldn't be happier that I did. It's everything you need in a reading app. Highly recommend.
