Hab schon versucht eine kleine CSV zu importieren. Gleiches Problem. Schade. Hätte die App gerne intensiver benutzt. Hätte auch einige Feature Ideen. Update: CSV Import Fehler wurde mit einem Update behoben. Danke. **Developer response:** Edit: Cool, dass du endlich deine Bücher importieren konntest! Wir würden uns auch auch über ein Update des Ratings freuen, wenn dir Readhero gefällt :) --- Hey, das tut uns sehr leid. Wir kennen das Problem und haben das mit der Version 2.4.2 gefixt. Probiere es gerne nochmal nach dem Update. Für neue Ideen aus der Community sind wir immer offen und begrüßen neue Feature-Ideen unserer Nutzer. Sende sie gerne an readheroapp@gmail.com. In diesem Sinne noch viel Spaß beim Lesen und wir hoffen, dass dir ReadHero weiterhin sonst gefällt :) Heldenhafte Grüße, Dennis ### 4/5 — The CSV file exported from the Calibre eBook management software is not supported *2026-05-09, version 2.7.3* The CSV file exported from the Calibre eBook management software is not supported, and the file can contain tens of thousands of books. ### 5/5 — A must-have for readers! *2025-07-10* ReadHero helps me remember what I read, track progress, and take notes—all in one app. Super useful and easy to use!

I love the clean design and how simple it is to log finished books or plan what to read next.

Thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nette App *2026-01-22* Nette App, aber dass man für ein Mal App öffnen, viermal nervige Werbung für ein pro Abo schließen muss, steht in keinem Verhältnis und ist ein DICKES minus. **Developer response:** Hey, danke für das Kompliment zur unserer App :) Wir verstehen, dass das trotzdem etwas nervig sein kann mit dem Pro Abo, aber wir müssen das anbieten, damit wir die laufenden App und Entwicklungskosten abdecken können, da wir alles privat als Indie-Entwicker finanziert haben. ### 1/5 — So nicht gut. *2025-11-18* Vorher voller Funktionsumfang, jetzt Zwang zum Abo dafür. So nicht. Preise dafür viel zu teuer. Gutes Lesezeichen und Notizapp reicht auch. **Developer response:** Hey, wir zwingen niemanden zu einem Abo - jeder kann ReadHero auch gratis nutzen mit den Basisfunktionen und das ist unserer Meinung nach auch gut so.. Wir müssen den Nutzer auch einen Preis für die Pro-Features anbieten, da wir auch die Entwicklungskosten etc. abdecken müssen, da wir alles als Privatleute (kein Unternehmen) finanziert haben. Die Preise sind sogar unter dem Marktpreis, wenn man sich andere Apps in diesem Segment anschaut und bedenkt, dass in Deutschland alleine man für einen Döner schon 8€ zahlt und die Jahresmitgliedschaft bei uns 17€ kostet, wo man dann die App ein komplettes Jahr mit allen Features nutzen kann.. Wir hoffen du verstehst das und kannst uns auch gerne und jederzeit unter readheroapp@gmail.com schreiben. ### 1/5 — Mancano troppe funzionalità *2025-08-12, version 2.4.5* Mancano veramente troppe funzionalità base, come ad esempio la possibilità di cancellare un libro ### 1/5 — Zu teuer *2025-06-24* Kann man ohne Geld ausgeben nicht nutzen. ### 1/5 — Не работает *2025-05-05, version 2.4.1* Установил, добавил книгу а прочитать не дается! ### 1/5 — Too much cute but worthless add-ons *2025-02-27, version 2.3.7* The constant wizards and slow playing animations are infuriating. Push something in the wrong window? Watch an animation, have to click through a wizard. Looking for something? Wind up watching the same intro wizards over and over by accidentally clicking something that only has wizards. I’m deleting this and will look elsewhere ### 1/5 — Too much cute but worthless add-ons *2025-02-14* The constant wizards and slow playing videos are infuriating. Push something in the wrong window? Watch a video, have to click through a wizard. Looking for something? Wind up watching the same intro wizards over and over by accidentally clicking something that only has wizards. I’m deleting this and will look elsewhere ### 1/5 — Ya Right *2025-02-13, version 2.3.7* 90% of books I searched for we're not found! I have over 5000 books in my library this app has very little use. ### 2/5 — A quoi ça sert ? *2025-05-03* Je lis uniquement sur liseuse et je ne vois aucun intérêt à cette application. Je sais ou j'en suis et aucun besoin de le partager...et ma liseuse fait les statistiques a ma place et bien mieux que cette application. ### 3/5 — App looks good but on-boarding experience is infuriating *2025-10-30* Please stop this “pretending we're customizing the app for you so you’re more likely to pay for a subscription “ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Нравится *2026-04-29, version 2.7.2* 👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Bug do pro *2026-04-03* Aplicativo excelente, tornou-se meu principal de log de livros e comics. O único bug chatinho é de ele sempre voltar para a versão free sozinho mesmo eu tendo o pro. **Developer response:** Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback. O erro não deveria ocorrer, é claro. Poderia, por favor, descrever o problema com mais detalhes e nos enviar um e-mail para readheroapp@gmail.com? ### 5/5 — One of my favourite apps *2026-02-28* Works like a charm. Has helped me tremendously in increasing my reading productivity. The attentive service is top notch. They listen to suggestions and work to put them into action. Kudos to the heroes at ReadHero! **Developer response:** Thanks so much! We’re thrilled to hear ReadHero is boosting your reading productivity. Your feedback keeps us going - our team truly appreciates it! ### 5/5 — Duolingo für Bücher! *2026-01-14* Wenn man auf der Suche nach eine Art “Duolingo” für Bücher ist, ist Readhero genau richtig. Die App hat eine super verständliche Benutzeroberfläche mit allen wichtigen Features wie Streak-Tracking, Widgets für den Homescreen um den das Lesen steht’s im Blick zu haben, einen Jahres Wrapped wie bei Spotify und die klassische Übersicht seiner Bücher. - Ideal für den Einstieg zum Lesen und dranbleiben! Dazu die tolle Möglichkeit, Wünsche für kommende Updates dem Entwickler mitzuteilen. Ein echter Game-Changer! Jetzt fehlt nur noch eine Ergänzung einer Community Möglichkeit und die App reißt alles ab. 😉🫶🏼 Ps. Der Preis für die Pro Version ist im Vergleich zu anderen Apps sehr human und vertretbar. ### 5/5 — One of my favourite apps *2025-12-27, version 2.6.1* Works like a charm.

Questa ha un ricco database, è abbastanza intuitiva e ha molte statistiche e widget. Spero migliori costantemente ### 5/5 — 看起來很不錯 *2025-09-25, version 2.4.6* 先下載 ### 5/5 — One of my favourite apps *2025-09-24, version 2.4.6* Works like a charm.
