### 4/5 — A Hidden Gem

*2026-08-21*

I absolutely love this app and how easy it is to track the books I read or listen to. My only complaint is that my notes aren’t saved. Otherwise this is user friendly and fun to share with friends.

### 5/5 — YEA MA’AM 👌🏾👌🏾

*2026-08-09*

Just got into reading to help with my vocabulary. But that app seems so lovely. I’m trying to cut back on my screen time but the way im about to be on this app to keep myself motivated. I am truly excited. Definitely will let my little “book club” know about this

### 4/5 — Good but too much

*2026-08-09*

It’s a very extensive app that offers a lot of great options.  It’s just too extensive for me! Once I finish reading a book, I just want to click finish and move on.  I just want to get book recs from other users and move on.  That’s it.  Can you develop a minimalistic version.

### 1/5 — No consistency

*2026-08-04, version 1.2.2*

My read (for the year) books continuously jump from 210, to 95, to 23 even when I don’t synch. I can close the app, reopen and the numbers have changed. I thought maybe the premium version would be better. IT’S NOT!! 

I’ve sent emails to help/support….CRICKETS..

### 4/5 — Finally!

*2026-07-31*

This is the most user friendly and aesthetically pleasing reading app I’ve come across yet. Of course with it being new there are a few tweaks that could be made but overall happy with the setup of this app

### 3/5 — I like it but…

*2026-07-13, version 1.2*

There are a couple of kinks that need to be worked out. 1. If I add a book title and it is not there, I have to go completely out of the “add book” and come back in because the “go” button is no longer lit. Also, having to manually enter books that I know are popular, is time-consuming and nerve-wrecking. I hope the search option expands in the future.
2. I wanted to support the developer as an Android user, so I downloaded it on my IPAD.  I have been looking for the settings button and stumbled on it one time. I was able to import my Goodreads list. I couldn’t find the setting button after that. I finally found it a second time and it is hiding behind the “add book” button and it cannot be accessed.  I wanted to know if I need to keep syncing the Goodreads button, but I can’t get to it. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling.  
I was so excited to suggest this to my reading groups, but I wanted to ensure it’s a good app. It’s good but maybe I need to wait awhile as updates occur.

### 5/5 — Almost Perfect

*2026-07-12*

This app has made reading so much easier for me. It’s easy to keep up with my TBR, what I’m currently reading, and what I’ve finished. The only suggestion I have would be to add a DNF section. Books I didn’t finish are getting placed under finished and I don’t want to mess up my count. Thank you! 🥰

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-10*

I’m still learning how to use the app fully however I’m enjoying it and I love that it tells me pages read.

### 5/5 — New reading tracking app

*2026-07-10*

Did I need a new app to track my books, probably not, but I downloaded it anyway. 
The app is so cute and had a bunch of trendy fun challenges already built in. Such as, the alphabet challenge, monthly reading challenges, and more. It’s a new app, so we can expect some bugs here and there but the developer has been very response and open to suggestions on how to make the app better. Enjoying it so far!

### 5/5 — love it!

*2026-07-10*

It feels like it a reading app created by readers for readers. The thought process of all the features, how users can engage with each other, how individuals can track their reading. it’s all wonderful and so much fun.
