### 5/5 — Great app.

*2026-08-11*

Love this app. It is incredible and so useful for tracking my reading. I really like being able to add notes and feelings about each read to my entries.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-08-03*

Rly good app but pls make it so that when I look up a book there’s only one version cuz there’s so many versions maybe make it so that here’s one book and below you can see what version you have also when make the search a little better cuz when I make one typo it automatically says it’s never heard of it also pls make it that I could differentiate between paperback and hardback i think that would be cool the fact that i could export smth from StoryGraph is amazing

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-07-11*

I have been using this tracker for over 2 months now and it’s wonderful! I love how easy it is to make notes and rate things, or add new books to read. And the shelf widget is adorable. 

My only wish is that when you move a book from Want To Read to Reading, that the date gets updated. Because otherwise when you start the book is way off.

### 2/5 — Worked great at first

*2026-07-07*

For a few months the app worked great. Then suddenly the widget doesn’t update when I change the books or the background. I paid for a subscription to get better background options and can’t even see them, so it’s a waste. Unfortunate because I loved the idea!!!

**Developer response:** Hi Cassie, the app update got stuck for a month in review for other unrelated reasons. This has been fixed and should work now, really sorry for the trouble!

### 5/5 — love this app!

*2026-07-04, version 1.6.1*

i love how simple and different this app is compared to other reading apps! the only thing i would say that needs work is the location feature. i can only see one book i’ve read in one location but if i could see multiple books i’ve read in one location that would be awesome! other than that i honestly love everything about this app! 😊

### 4/5 — Fav book tracking app

*2026-06-27*

Obsessed with this app for tracking my reading! Love the widget and the journey. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is because there’s no option to share your reading calendar every month!!

**Developer response:** Great idea, we’ll add that to the list, thank you!

### 1/5 — Too early for feedback

*2026-06-26, version 1.6.1*

This app might be great - but stop asking me nonstop for a review of an app that I have literally had for less than five minutes.

### 3/5 — It’s cute… it could be better

*2026-06-20*

I find it super cute… easy to add your books and the Goodreads export works. I’m having issues tho with the “customization” option for the shelf, I can’t use the wallpaper options. I would love a response from the developer as their “help” options are not working. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Hi Mariah, could you reach out to hello@readingjourney.co? I’ll have a look!

### 3/5 — Goodreads just downloading

*2026-06-16, version 1.6*

Been trying to sync my Goodreads for two days now. It’s just showing it’s downloading but nothing is importing. Really wish I could use this app.

### 2/5 — Would love to use it

*2026-06-15, version 1.5.1*

Tried using the StoryGraph export and it doesn’t ever work doesn’t matter how many times I try.
