### 5/5 — Vyhovující :-)

*2025-12-11, version 1.3.7*

Zatím si na appku nemohu stěžovat, vyhovuje mi nejvíce z cca 6 vyzkoušených. Kdyby autor nevěděl co vylepšovat, uvítala bych u vypůjčených knih možnost uvést od koho jsem ji měla půjčenou. :-)

### 5/5 — Spokojenost!

*2025-10-21, version 1.3.7*

Přehledá aplikace pro každého čtenáře, doporučuji

### 5/5 — Poděkování

*2024-08-24, version 1.3.4*

Děkuji za super aplikaci pro nás čtenáře 👍🥇.

### 3/5 — Positive so far…

*2024-08-08*

So, I’ve been searching for the one app that will automatically put all books by one author into the same list. And finally I seem to have found it! Just a shame 1) there is no free trial, as I’d like to try the other features before I commit to a payment. And 2) I find the app too late in the evening to spend time adding my books haha.

### 5/5 — Skvělá aplikace pro knihomoly

*2024-04-12, version 1.3.3*

Konečně výborná aplikace na čtenářský deník. Jednoduchá a intuitivní. Děkuji moc.
