Excellent

Easy to use. Has all the features needed. Supports online search, bar scan of isbn and manual add. Also export

Widget Glitches

Love the app but the widget regularly glitches which really sucks.

Longtime user first time reviewer

Get tf off Goodreads. Ask your friends IN REAL LIFE what they are reading, and then save it easily to your list in this app. It’s well designed, the widget is lovely, and the scan feature is awesome.

Exactly what I needed

I love how easy it is to track the books I have and what I’ve read. The statistics year after year are super helpful when I push myself to read more. I haven’t enjoyed a book tracking app more than this one.

Love it so much; bought the Lifetime Unlock!

I subscribed to this app for 2 years and just purchased the Lifetime Unlock b/c I enjoy using the app so much. A majority of the books I read (my goal is to read 70 books this year) are from the library so this app allows me to “collect”, browse covers, take notes, track # pages read, look at charts to visualize numbers of books read, and remember all the books—without having to buy them. I find great joy in filling up the To Read list with future reads. It’s like shopping for books w/o spending any money! Very satisfying. I absolutely read more b/c of this app. Oh, and no ads nor tracking to sell you anything! Thank you!

Best App For Readers

This app makes reading so much more fun and helps you track progress on your current reading and lists the books you previously read.

So awesome

This is exactly what I was looking for. I did not want to purchase a separate scanner nor did I want an app that was filled with ads. Simple to use. This app is perfect. I’m excited to have my library list of books available with me while shopping for more books. You understand the horror of buying duplicates 😉.

Top notch Libby/ Hoopla organizer

I’m so glad I found Book Tracker. When I see a recommended book and I checked to see if it’s available on Libby or Hoopla, I can add it onto Book Tracker so that I have a list of what is available from the online library. I don’t even have to look up the synopsis because it is included in each book listed on this app.

Pro Membership is a waste of money!

I recently traded and purchased a new iPhone. When I reinstalled Reading List, Apple charged me again even though I had previously purchased a Pro Membership Lifetime! I also had Reading List installed on another device, which according to the FAQs, should be a free install on other devices, but that too didn’t work. Developer has also been non responsive so app may no longer be actively supported.

Good interesting book

Works good

Works just fine. I want there to be a way to scroll faster like maybe tap the “L” to go to titles that start with the letter “L”

Great app

This is so good. Couldn’t live without it.

Love this app usually

Love this app usually but right now I can’t add any more books either using the scan ISBN function or the Search Online function, it comes up with an error message

Great App. Does what it says on the box.

The app is great and doesn’t have a bunch of fluff features getting in the way of using it.
Super-fast response from the developer when I had an issue.

Downhill

It’s gone downhill too many bugs and now the scanning features has stopped working.

Great app but please add this feature!!!

I love this app as it doesn’t have all the extras like other reading apps which tend to distract me from actually reading. But I would like to suggest a feature I think a lot of readers would enjoy.

I think it would be great if there was one section on your TBR for books you actually own and have on the shelf vs. Books you want to buy and they are also on the TBR.

Would be even better if it could be added to the free version 🤭😛.

I love the app thank you!

Love this!

Love this app! Easy to use, easy to enter books, even old books I read in the past. I can list them by title, author or chronologically as I finished them, which can all help me search forsomething I’ve already read.

My favorite reading tracker!

I absolutely LOVE this reading tracker! It includes all the things I want in a tracker and then some!

Best Reading List app

Other apps I’ve tried are far too bloated and feel heavy to use. Reading list is simple and does everything you need it to while being quick to use. I’ve uploaded my whole home library to it which makes keeping track of over 300 books far easier.

Feedback: The only requests I’d have to make it 5 star would be the ability to:

Have a single listing count as multiple books. - so that you don’t have to have 25 similar listings for a encyclopaedia set for example. Listing as one book currently would mean missing out on data of how many books have been read in the stats section.

&

The ability to create lists from the subjects you list in a books description. I can currently create a poetry list, for example, and in the books description I can set the books subject as poetry. - Two separate functions. Would be convenient to have the option for that subject to be able to be made into a list so that all books with the subject “poetry” automatically fall into that list if a make a poetry list.

That said if the competitors of this app implemented these changes I still wouldn’t switch over. Something about this app is just so much more intuitive and easy to use.

Best regards to all.

So helpful!

I have been using the Reading List for several years. It’s super simple and keeps track of what I have read and want to read. By scanning a barcode or searching online, it’s a SNAP to add to the list (you can also add manually). I’ve never had a problem! Highly recommend!
