Almost Perfect

I love the stats this app offers, and the user experience is generally very good. One thing I’m dying for the developer to change is the reading activity graph on a finished book. The fact that the only options on that graph are to show the last 7 or 14 days of activity makes it completely useless when looking back at stats for books I read more than two weeks ago. Why doesn’t it show the activity from the start date of the read to the end date? I know the data exists because I can see my reading activity as far back as I want in the general overview. That change plus a way to record audiobooks would make this a perfect app for me.

Please rename this great app

Abbreviation is misleading.

Great app, need some fixes though

This app does a lot of things right, it has an extensive database of books, and tracks a lot of useful metrics. unfortunately, it also comes with a lot of failings that i’d love to see improved: the app resets itself if you switch away from it even to do the simplest of tasks, and it doesn’t retain the timer for you, in any case that happened, so you have to restart from the beginning. the UI design is also not the most pretty out there, it’s not a big deal, but it could do with some uplifting.

Wonderful 🥰

I absolutely adore 😊 this app. I just love the extensive books library I can search through and even if they don’t have something in my native language I can just manually add it. The stats do really make everything that much more interesting. I’d only wish if there was the ability to set reading goals. Other than that it’s great 👍

Family Sharing Issue with App Store Purchases

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out regarding an issue with Family Sharing for purchases made on the App Store. It seems that my purchases are not being shared with my family members.

Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue? Any steps or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance!

Almost perfect

If you add an audiobook option to this app, it would be the perfect reader log. Otherwise, it's easy to use and customize. I especially like the fact that you can add a missed reading session in as you get into the habit of opening the timer when you start reading.

Good. But add Audiobooks

I’ve been a reader my whole life. Since I had children and got older, there’s less time to sit down and read books, but they’re still plenty of time to listen while I exercise, Cook, do gardening and many other activities. I know there’s a workaround for audiobooks, we can add them as if they are a paper book, but still some of the controls Are not geared for . Please add audiobook record keeping.

Crazy good 💕

I adore this reading tracker. I’m almost on my 11th book now that I’ve solely tracked on this app. I just wish it offered me personalised suggestions on what books to read once I’ve finished my current reads. Still it’s fantastic. ☺️

Neat reading app

I enjoy this app a lot and love that I can track read time. This is motivating me to read more for sure. This is specific for an e-reader, I would like if “Locs” were available in addition to page numbers in the future. I use that more than page numbers. Also I do notice that finished books don’t appear in the statistics tab. Otherwise a great app!

Timer feature

I had good hopes for this app. I was reading for almost an hour and my phone screen fell asleep and when I unlocked my phone the timer was going from when it fell asleep. It didn’t record the actual time. Please fix. Thank you.

Needs A Search Option

It would be extremely helpful if there was a search option for the books already entered. It’s so frustrating/ annoying to have to swipe or scroll when trying to see if a book has been entered into my library. So far I’ve entered 665 books and it’s so tedious and time consuming to look for my own books in the app.

Thank you for your feedback! 🎉 I'm excited to let you know that a search option has been added to the app in the latest update. Now, you can easily search for books in your library without scrolling through your collection. Please update to the latest version to access this new feature. I hope this makes managing your impressive library of 665 books much more convenient! If you have any other suggestions, feel free to share. 😊

Can’t read ebooks on my phone

Overall I like the app, it’s well formatted and easy to navigate. But I mostly read ebooks on my phone, and when I leave the app open and go to my ebook the stopwatch doesn’t run so I can’t really track anything unless I use a different stopwatch and edit the time.

Great app for keeping tracks of books you read

This app is great. I used to keep track of books by typing them in Notes- now they’re all in this app, with a pic of the book. There are minor snafus like when I looked up a translated Russian novel; the app couldn’t find the translation but found the original Russian. That’s OK. I just need to keep track that I read the book. Also getting the ISBN number through the app is hit or miss but you can input it manually and look it up online so I really appreciate this app. If you are a reader, this is a big help. No getting a book and halfway through realizing I read it a couple years ago

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! I am thrilled to hear that the app has made it easier for you to track your books, especially compared to using Notes. Regarding the search results for translated works and the ISBN lookup feature, I really appreciate your feedback. I am always working to improve the app’s accuracy, and your input helps guide me in the right direction. In the meantime, I am glad that the manual input option has been helpful for you. If you have any other suggestions or run into any issues, feel free to reach out—I am here to help! Happy reading! 📚✨

Excellent Reading Tracker, but!

The app is excellent, flawless, and easy to use and has greater functionality than Goodreads, BUT as someone who’s been using the latter for more than a decade, I’d say I can’t be too sure about switching unless the app could provide a way to link my Goodreads account to here, then I’d gladly give it 5 stars

This App…

I’m sorry that I had to give you a two star review, but I was just looking at the app. I have to say, it’s a very splendid idea, but you need to upload more to it. I read a lot of books and I need to be able to add these books easily and this app hasn’t made it very easy. I can give you a few books I looked up that you didn’t have. You only had one of the Diary of a Sixth Grade Ninja, no Percy Jackson, no Buster, and no Riders of the Realm. That is only the touch of what I have looked up. Maybe you could add a way for your app buyers to add books, but right now, somebody’s falling behind. I would really like it if you could find a way to have ALL of the books. And I mean ALL OF THEM. I have somebody who wants me to use this app to keep track of all of my books, but I just CAN’T when I cannot find them! So I give you my personal opinion, and hope you can make it better, sincerely, Annabeth Chase.

Thank you for your honest feedback and for sharing your experience with the app. I completely understand how important it is to have a comprehensive selection of books, and I truly appreciate your suggestions. I wanted to let you know that I have revamped the app's search capabilities, and the search is now much more powerful. The app currently has over 42 million books indexed, so you should be able to find many more titles, including those you mentioned like Percy Jackson and Riders of the Realm. I hope this update makes it easier for you to track your books. I’m always working on improving the app, and your input helps a lot. If you come across any further issues or have more suggestions, please feel free to reach out!

Great Tracking App

Ive been keeping track of my books using Notes app for a couple of years now. Recently found out about this app and it has literally transformed the way I manage my TBR list and bookshelf. I’d love to see a suggestions feature in the app for books I should look into reading based upon my interests other than that it’s perfect. :)

Love it

I love everything about this app, except for the fact that I can't search any books in Korean. I would love to see Google Books or Naver Books added to the online book search database. Thank you🙏

Import csv

Hope to support the import of csv files exported from the software calibre ebook management, and the corresponding title, author, tag, isbn, formats, comments publisher and other corresponding information can be imported.

The relevant information of imported or manually entered books is incomplete. Whether the function can be added is to update the book Metadata information in the RLT in batches online.
