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! ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2026-05-31* I cannot even preach enough how much I love this app. It quickly became my favorite book tracking app, and I love the whole experience of it all! That being said, I do have one issue. I continuously have a lot of books on my TBR and a lot of times. I will see something on TikTok and not remember if it’s already on my TBR or not. It takes forever to go scrolling through and try to find it, and I wish there was a search feature where I could quickly look for a book that I’ve already added. Otherwise, I absolutely love this app and I’m excited to keep using it. **Developer response:** Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥹 ### 4/5 — Want to love… *2026-05-23* But! I don’t use Goodreads despite it being the native app on the kindle and would love to see an option to sync using Fable since StoryGraph is available already. Otherwise! It’s a super cute app that does what it says it does. **Developer response:** We would love to support Fable, but Fable doesn’t allow exporting your data (you can search for “fable export” to confirm). ### 3/5 — Great Idea but Struggling… *2026-03-22* I love the idea but I haven’t been able to add the books I’m currently reading. I’ve tried scanning the cover. I’ve tried typing in the title, I’ve tried the EAN, the ISBN. What are the chances both Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Poppy War can’t be added? I think I’ll wait a while for them to work out the bugs and then try again. Love the idea of the widget but not if I can’t add books. ### 3/5 — Widget blank *2026-03-19, version 1.4.5* The widget doesn’t work for me. I added my currently reading books but the widget is blank and doesn’t show the books ### 3/5 — Love the app, despise the search function *2026-03-16* Really enjoy the app, but the search function to add a new book is atrocious. By now, I’ve found it easier to add the books as a new book to the system than to continue looking. Even though I use the exact title, so many times a bunch of barely related or completely unrelated books would show up first. If you even slightly tap them, they are added to your currently reading and then I gotta delete them and look for the correct book again. It would also be useful if you could look for both the title and the author together, but if the aforementioned problems could be solved, I would already be so much happier and completely satisfied with the app. This is my first time using a non-social book tracking app and so far I’m really happy with the concept and I’m much more likely to track my reading and my thoughts while reading! **Developer response:** Thank you for giving RJ a try and really sorry about the bad experience. Also thanks a ton for the detailed feedback! Could you reach out to hello@readingjourney.co? Would love to learn more how we can make it better and also give you a small token of appreciation. ### 5/5 — Loving It!!! *2026-01-03* I came across Reading Journey on TikTok and decided to give it a go. I was unprepared for how gorgeous the app looks and how unique it is. It takes the social aspect away from tracking your reading and the pressure that I felt came with that in other apps. I love how you can take photos of each reading session, choose the vibe (in emoji’s) and make notes to remember specific moments. I seem to forget my thoughts as soon as I finish a book so I love having the ability to track and see my reactions throughout the books. I also love how you get a map of your emotional journey through the books you read, such a cute addition. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! 🤗 Can totally relate and we plan to add many more features in order to help you remember what you read and how the books made you feel. ### 4/5 — Great start *2025-12-26, version 1.1.3* This has so much promise. My hopes are that you will add an import option to track books I own. It would be nice to import my Amazon and audible books ### 5/5 — LOVE!!! *2025-11-01, version 1.1.2* Clean, tidy, and cute? I’m in! I love how organized everything is, and it’s really cool to be able to have reflections. I wish there was a way to import via CSV (because I’m a huge nerd who loves spreadsheets). Otherwise, it’s amazing as it is! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Didn’t find a single book *2026-03-22, version 1.4.5* I tried to add the book I was reading and the app couldn’t find it, even when I pasted in the ISBN number. I tried a few other titles and it found nothing. A book tracker is useless if it can’t track books. ### 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! ### 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. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-03-22, version 1.4.5* Love the UI and excited about the widget. But the Goodreads sync doesn’t seem to work. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Re-reads not showing *2026-06-01, version 1.5.1* Hi - I do a lot of rereads and I noticed on the sync from Goodreads, those aren’t showing up in the monthly summary. Is that in the plans for the future? Thanks! ### 3/5 — Please make widget work when using clear icons *2026-04-13, version 1.4.7* Happy to update to 5 stars when fixed (note it’s still not working even after dev response here) to clarify by work I mean have the option to show books in color ### 3/5 — Please make widget work when using clear icons *2026-03-27* Happy to update to 5 stars when fixed **Developer response:** Hey Sarah, thanks for the feedback. It’s fixed now, yaaay! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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! 😊 ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-05-27* Found it randomly on TikTok and it has become one of my favorite reading apps ever. Being able to make quick notes about what I’ve read and track with no pressure is great. Love being able to add pictures of my reading session as well. And the widget is beyond adorable. **Developer response:** Made our day, thank you!! ### 5/5 — I love this. *2026-04-25* I love his app, I just recently got this and I’m obsessed. It tracks your books in an organized way, everything about it is organized, and I can import my Goodreads on there too! I absolutely love the feature where you can log in your reading and make an entry where you can add a picture of your book or page and add your thoughts with how you feel as emojis. it’s so pretty and accurate aswell, maybe for the future I would suggest adding a feature where you can browse books and get recommendations from your tbr! Otherwise this is perfect. ### 5/5 — My favorite book tracking app *2026-04-20* Something about Reading Journey is better than the other book tracking apps. The emoji reactions, clearly showing the day you read a specific book and how many pages you read that day is awesome! I’m excited to try RJ+ **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! 🤗 ### 5/5 — UPDATED: Great Idea but Struggling… *2026-03-28* Update: Thank you for the response. I tried it again and it worked beautifully! Glad y’all had such a strong response and so may active user and even more glad you got it running smoothly! Worth it for the widget on the Home Screen alone. Love it! I love the idea but I haven’t been able to add the books I’m currently reading. I’ve tried scanning the cover. I’ve tried typing in the title, I’ve tried the EAN, the ISBN. What are the chances both Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Poppy War can’t be added? I think I’ll wait a while for them to work out the bugs and then try again. Love the idea of the widget but not if I can’t add books. **Developer response:** Could you give it another go? Our servers were overloaded from the sudden influx. It should work now again. ### 5/5 — Adorable *2026-03-18* Absolutely adorable app, super cozy and perfect for any book lover who doesn’t want a super cluttered tracker **Developer response:** Thank you! 🤩 ### 5/5 — Perfect for what I need! *2026-03-10* ♥️ ### 5/5 — Reading for yourself, not for competition *2026-01-24* Awesome! A new app for books! Just entered my first book and I can already tell this is gonna be a great tool for me. My favorite part is it doesn't try to gamify or make reading some kinda competition. It's perfect since there's already plenty of other apps for that. This one also looks better too☺️📚❤️ **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! We want to make reading journey your fun reading companion. If you’re into goals and that helps you read more, sure set them, but if you’re not, that’s ok too. Reading is a hobby we all enjoy, shouldn’t feel like homework. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
