## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.6 — 2026-09-29

Hoard tracking just got quicker, tidier, and more re-readable. Log pages
from your Home Screen, and keep a record of every time you finish a book.

- Put a book in the Reading Spotlight to pin it to the top of your hoard,
  and track your spot by page or by percent.
- New Home and Lock Screen widgets. Log pages, mark a book finished, or
  page between several reads without opening the app, plus a widget for
  your reading goal.
- The Reading Log remembers every time you have finished a book and the
  format you read it in, so a favourite you have read three times says so.
- Set a yearly reading goal and see whether you are ahead or behind
  schedule, then tap through for everything you have finished this year.
- Give a book as many genres as it deserves. Filter by Historical Fiction
  and find it under Fiction too, rename or merge the messy ones, and tag a
  whole stack of books at once.
- Tuck cookbooks and reference shelves into Deep Storage to keep them out
  of the way. They still count toward your hoard.
- Browse an author's whole catalogue as a list.
- Unread is now TBR.

### 2.5 — 2026-09-08

Hoard tracking just got shinier, spicier, and more defined. Rate with stars or peppers, and record every format you own.

- Rate the books you read with stars for quality and peppers for spice, then sort by Highest Rated or Spiciest.
- Mark each book as Physical, eBook, or Audiobook, or any mix, with the edition or the app it lives on (Hardcover, Kindle, Audible, and more).
- Filter and sort your library by format.
- Faster, cleaner search when adding a book, with tap-to-add suggestions.
- New Recently Updated sort, and Goodreads imports now carry your formats too.

### 2.4 — 2026-08-31

A big update, led by a whole new way to find your next book and retaining your previous tracking.

• Discover your next read
Pick a genre or an author, or browse the suggested for you section based on your current library, then swipe through a deck of book suggestions. Swipe right to add one to your Wishlist or left to pass.

• Import from Goodreads
Export your Goodreads library and import it in seconds. Your books, reading status, and dates come along for the ride. Covers fill themselves in, and if anything differs from what you already have, a friendly review helps you sort it out. The CSV is cached so that as we add more features we will be able to update your existing data, but you can also view the imported CSV in Book Hoard at any time.

• Series and ISBN
Book Hoard now records each book's series and number when they're available, and saves the ISBN when scanned.

• Duplicate and edition review
If you scan a book that matches one already in your library Book Hoard flags it for review. Keep both editions, merge them into one (keeping your details and adding the new cover and ISBN), or remove the extra.

• Easier, more reliable scanning
You can now scan multiple books at a time and barcode scanning now waits for you to tap Capture instead of adding a book the moment it sees a barcode. If a book has no barcode then you can easily fall back on cover or manual entry without interrupting the batch flow.

• Customize the Add menu
You can now choose which options appear on the book addition page, so you don't have to look past ones you never use.

Plus a handful of smaller fixes and refinements throughout.

### 2.3 — 2026-08-24

The hoard grows sturdier!

• Slayed a sneaky gremlin that could spook the app while you were adding a new book. Your treasures now land on the shelf without a fuss.
• Straightened out the genre filter. "No genres yet" now reads like a proper word instead of a tumbling tower of letters.
• A little behind-the-scenes polish to keep your hoard shiny.

Happy hoarding!

### 2.2 — 2026-08-22

Your hoard just got a lot prettier.

- New Shelf view: see your books as covers lined up on a wooden shelf, not just a list. Flip between List and Shelf whenever the mood strikes.
- Shelf themes: dress your shelves in warm Walnut or clean Monochrome.
- Book covers everywhere: your collection now shows off its spines and covers in glorious colour.
- Dragon Hoard background: pile your list on a bed of treasure. Because a book collection IS treasure.

Thank you for hoarding with us! Got a wish for the next update? We're always listening.
