The interface is clean, easy to navigate, and I love being able to keep track of my reading without feeling overwhelmed. One of my favorite features is that I can sync my Goodreads account, so getting started was super easy. It also feels like a space built for readers who genuinely love books and want to connect with other book lovers. I can’t wait to see how this app grows it’s definitely earned a spot on my home screen! ### 5/5 — Chef’s Kiss *2026-07-08, version 1.1* Two Words: User friendly! As an avid reader, this will be my go to APP for tracking my reading journey! Congratulations and thank you! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-07-08, version 1.1* This is easy to use, I love that we can search for the book title and author via Google search. All the tropes to just click on, as well as the genres and categories. I am going to use this app to add all the books I have read (thousands😭🫶🏽). ### 5/5 — Must Have for Readers *2026-07-08, version 1.1* Easy to use and connect your socials! I love that it's an all in one app! Especially love the Premium & extra features! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-08, version 1.1* Love this new app for the book community! I can’t wait to see the growth with it. ### 5/5 — Get this app right NOW! *2026-07-08, version 1.1* This app is beautiful and user friendly. Also, the premium additions are worth paying purchasing. ### 5/5 — Love *2026-07-08, version 1.1* I absolutely love this app!! ### 5/5 — Must Have Reader App *2026-07-08, version 1.1* This app has everything you need to track your reading, build a community of reading friends, & review your books. It also has a TBR list with a shuffle feature when looking for your next read! ### 5/5 — Cuteeeee! *2026-07-08, version 1.1* I think the app is very cute. I love how easy and quick it was to import my books from Goodreads; I also love that there’s a sync button so we can periodically sync our Goodreads data to the app. The different color themes is cute. I think it’s very user-friendly there’s nothing complicated about it at all. The shuffle feature to help pick a read from your TBR is a new thing in a book journal/tracking app so that’s a super win! One suggestion I do have is adding a “share” button to our profile so we can copy and paste our links, it’ll make it easier for friends to add us instead of having to manually search. Overall so far I love the app and I can’t wait to see how it grows! ### 5/5 — In Love with Supporting Black *2026-07-08, version 1.1* Came across this app on Threads and gave it a try! Very easy to use, beautiful graphics and nice features. You can even sync your Goodreads. Only concern I have is with adding a new book to the app and not being able to add the book using the search feature. It seems manual is the only option but I’ve reached out to support to let them know. Still a five star rating because all apps have their initial kinks right? ### 5/5 — Unexpected But Love *2026-07-07, version 1.1* Ran across the creator promoting the app and immediately downloaded. Used the free version and loved that look and feel. Syncs well with my Goodreads. Currently using the paid version but I haven’t explored those features yet. ### 5/5 — Choose this app over all others! *2026-07-01, version 1.1* The best virtual bookshelf in the App Store! I definitely recommend! This app was created with intentionality. 5 starssssss🤩 ### 5/5 — The Best Reading Journal! *2026-06-27* If you like to read books, and want to have an online bookshelf of every book that you read, this app is for you. You can rate every book you add, add a review for it and even share your book reviews with a community of others that also have the Paiges reading journal! Join the community ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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.. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Nice new app *2026-07-08, version 1.1* Overall I like the functionality of the app. It looks pretty, it tracks the books, it’s easy to maneuver. My biggest gripe is the adding of the books, which is why you have the app. At the moment, because it is still new, you can’t search for the books. I’ve tried adding popular and not so popular books and I have to manually add them which takes time. I was going to give it a month to try so hopefully this feature gets adjusted! ### 4/5 — Good but too much *2026-08-09, version 1.2.2* 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. ### 4/5 — Finally! *2026-07-31, version 1.2.2* 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 ### 4/5 — Innovative, colourful and interesting… *2026-07-08, version 1.1* So far this is a decent app. I’m excited that it was created by a black woman and it has a really colourful interface (bonus points for dark mode) I was able to import my library from Goodreads so my reading history is all in there. I do think it would be great to expand the search engine as so far any book I’ve tried searching for hasn’t popped up and has to be added manually. Also a few glitches when trying to add friends. I recognise this is a new app and updates will be made as time goes by so looking forward to seeing how it evolves. ### 5/5 — Almost Perfect *2026-07-12, version 1.2* 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, version 1.1* 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, version 1.1* 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, version 1.1* 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. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-07-09, version 1.1* Stumbled across a video on TikTok of the creator of the app promoting the app. Downloaded it without a second thought and I absolutely love how user-friendly it is. ### 5/5 — LOVE! ✨ *2026-07-09, version 1.1* I downloaded this app after hearing about it from Threads. It is SO much better than other options I've tried in the past and still have on my phone but do not use. This is going to my ARC reading game for sure! You have no idea how long I've been searching for this type of app. AND it syncs flawlessly with your GR account. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Great potential *2026-07-09, version 1.1* This app is really simple to you. Love how you can search a book directly for the app. Overall this app shows that it has the potential to become very useful to the book community. Can’t wait to see this app grow ### 5/5 — Perfect Sync from Goodreads *2026-07-09, version 1.1* User Friendly and woman coded app . Cant wait to build a community ### 5/5 — Didn’t know I need a new app *2026-07-08, version 1.1* This app is cute and convenient. The one feature that I LOVE is that it picks my next read for me. I’ve been looking for an option with other apps and now I have it. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-07-08, version 1.1* It’s so cute!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
