There are a few caveats that I would like to see improved upon. The first one is when having to manually upload a book because it’s not in the system, I do not want to have to put the number of pages. For my purposes, I don’t care how many pages a book has. It’s not relevant and it’s very time-consuming, especially when a lot of the older books need to be manually entered; it’s annoying and unnecessary. Currently it refuses to let you save an entry unless you enter a number. There should at the very least be an auto setting that defaults to ‘unknown’ so I can choose that, and since the only thing I ever use when adding books to my collection is ‘To be Read’ there should be a way to autosave every book I scan as ‘To Be Read’, instead of having to manually scroll through all the books I have batch scanned, to manually select ‘To Be Read’ for each. Inexplicably, when using batch scanned it puts the most recent scans at the BOTTOM of the list, not the top. This means if you have added a big batch of scanned books all at once, you need to scroll all the way to the bottom to select those as ‘’to be read’ OR to add images to, if no image auto-populated for a book. So having a way to sort latest scanned books at the top would help if not offering an auto save feature. Another improvement I think would be adding some kind of badge that displays in the bottom corner of each book, to show how many tags have been applied already. Then I could easily see which books I have already added tags to. Another useful badge would be a ‘Duplicate’ badge- I have some copies of books that are duplicate, since I work at two sites. Thank you for adding a search feature to the tags as that is definitely helping with organizing my many tags. Another improvement would be being able to add/scan new books directly from the ‘My Library’ screen instead of having to exit out and search for the add feature elsewhere. These tiny shortcuts save a lot of time for people that have hundreds of books they are adding- even better if you could search for a book in your library and if it doesn’t come up there could be an option to tap ‘add to my library’ where it would then immediately pull up the scan/search to add feature. This is still the best book organizer, but it is far more time-consuming than it needs to be. I have found it has a really nice clean interface that is visually pleasing and it is obvious that the developer cares deeply about it. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback; it’s very much appreciated. There’s a lot of really good arguments here, I will consider them forward as I continue to develop and improve the app. Some of these concerns you brought up have in fact already been addressed, though they will become available as part of the next major version of the app (which is still under development). Cheers, Mario ### 4/5 — love love *2026-01-28, version 2026.1.27* I love this app so much. I just wish they had all books on here. Or if we could somehow link with kindle. ### 4/5 — Maravilhoso! *2026-01-15* Eu achei as funcionalidades perfeitas, o design é lindo e acho que seria bem mais usável se fosse gratuito ou tivesse um valor mais acessível… Se não fosse a questão do valor pra obter acesso a mais livros e funcionalidades com certeza seria o aplicativo que eu usaria pra registrar todas as minhas leituras! **Developer response:** Oi! Muito obrigado por dedicar um tempo para me deixar esse feedback, isso me ajuda muito! Eu adoraria conseguir aumentar sua avaliação para 5 estrelas e, mais importante ainda, entender melhor um modelo de preços que faça sentido para usuários brasileiros. A última coisa que eu gostaria é que você deixasse o app para usar outro apenas porque o valor está alto demais! Por favor, me envie um e-mail para support@readtracker.app com sugestões de preço, assim posso adaptar o modelo atual para o Brasil. Eu ficaria imensamente grato pela sua ajuda e opinião sobre isso! Atenciosamente, Mario ### 5/5 — I love it! *2026-01-08, version 2026.1.6* Took about 15 mins for me to decide to purchase the lifetime access. I love all the features and the UI of the app! Very sleek design and I love the widgets!!! ### 5/5 — 发现阅读目标有小bug *2026-01-07* 月度和年度目标的进度还显示的2025年，希望赶快修复！很喜欢你们的设计！ **Developer response:** 嗨！非常感谢你留下评价，这对我来说真的很重要 ☺️ 可以请你再详细说明一下这个 bug 吗？我这边没有看到这个问题，阅读目标里显示的年份是正确的。 麻烦你给客服支持发一封邮件，附上更多细节，这样我可以看看是否能复现你提到的这个 bug。 此致 Mario ### 4/5 — Love *2026-01-07, version 2026.1.6* Loving the app so far. It does take a bit of getting used to but everything is laid out nicely. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-01-01* This app is customizable and easy to use . It has great ability to track and provide data. I really like the widget. Looking forward to using this and hope to have found my new book tracking home! **Developer response:** Thrilled to have you onboard! 🫶 I hope you find everything that you were looking for, and if you don’t, just say the word and we’ll work together to improve / add whatever features you need 😊 ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2025-12-31, version 2025.12.22* It is super easy to use and the organization of the app is super cute! I just downloaded it not too long ago and I love it! ### 5/5 — Очень классное приложение *2025-12-27* Очень удобно отслеживать прогресс чтения, нравится забавная анимация. Единственное обещали какие то испытания типа игр, а я никак не могу их найти) Где искать то? **Developer response:** Спасибо большое за тёплый отзыв, мне очень приятно 🫶 Испытания можно найти на экране «Home». Там есть карточка «Reading Goals» — если нажать на неё, вы попадёте именно на тот экран, который ищете. Если возникнут сложности с поиском, пожалуйста, напишите мне на email, и я с радостью пришлю скриншоты или видео с пояснениями. С наилучшими пожеланиями, Mario ### 5/5 — Ein muss für alle Bücherwürmer *2025-12-01* Hallo, Die App ReadTracker ist eine sehr sorgfältig Programmierte und schön designte App! Der Support äußerst freundlich und antwortet sehr schnell! Neben dem kann ich diese App allen Bücherwürmern empfehlen, da sie wirklich alle Features zum tracken des Lesefortschritts enthält und man fast alle Bücher, die man sich vorstellen kann, dort tracken kann! Die App enthält sogar eine Prognose, wann man das Buch fertig gelesen haben wird! Ich empfehle diese App allen, die gerne lesen, oder gerne mehr lesen möchten! Liebe grüße **Developer response:** Freut mich sehr zu hören, dass dir die App so gut gefällt! Und vielen Dank, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, mir so eine nette Bewertung zu hinterlassen – das weiß ich wirklich sehr zu schätzen 🫶 Liebe Grüße, Mario ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-11-15, version 2025.11.11* Best app in the world ### 5/5 — Best One! *2025-11-06* I tried almost every single “book tracker” app I could find. None of them compare to this one. The interface is so easy to navigate. The developer is very active on reddit and responds to and ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTS feature requests! Your requests will not fall on deaf ears! The developer truly cares about making this app great and what we book lovers want it to be. I will be a lifetime user of this one! **Developer response:** Wow you’ve literally just made my day, I can’t thank you enough for the kind words! 😍 Seeing comments like this makes all the work worth it! Glad to have you onboard 🫶 ### 5/5 — Amazing app, want to ask dev for a possible extra feature *2025-11-05* Been using this for more than a month now & it is the best book tracker app 🥹🙌🏼 LOVEEE this. I’m also subscribed & it is totally worth it so tyyysm for working hard for this app. I do have one idea or enquiry if we can possible include ARCS. I have been trying to add details to an ARC that I am currently reading so I can track my progress. However, I cannot seem to add it as a current read. Can this be a possible feature as well like being able to include ARCS without needing other details like publisher, dates, ISBN etc 😌 Tyyyy **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and the awesome review, it’s very much appreciated 😍 As for adding an ARC to the app, it’s certainly possible; all those details like publisher, ISBN, etc are entirely optional. All that’s required is the title and some cover (it can be whatever placeholder of course). If you’re having trouble adding an ARC please email me at support so I can walk you through it. I’d be glad to help ☺️ Cheers, Mario ### 5/5 — I love it. *2025-10-21* Out of all the reading trackers I’ve had, this is by far my favorite. They have customizable options for everything. I was able to make my main color pink(seems insignificant but makes a huge difference to me and makes me so happy) I do have one complaint, I wish they had an Apple Watch version as well so I could use that for timing because I can’t have my phone in class when I read. Other than that it’s flawless. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for leaving me a review, it means a lot to me! 🫶 The Apple Watch companion is already planned and coming *very* soon, stay tuned to updates! 😍 ### 5/5 — Best app! *2025-10-08* I’ve been looking for book tracking apps for a while now and i came across this app! absolutely amazing! **Developer response:** Thank you kindly for taking the time to leave me review, it means the world! 🫶 Glad to hear you’re enjoying the app, and do feel free to reach out anytime if you’d like a new feature to be implemented or something to be improved :) ### 5/5 — Best book tracker in App Store *2025-09-04* Having used other book trackers previously this is by far the best I’ve used. Took a little while to work out the best way to use it but now it suits my needs perfectly. Try it, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended, keep up the good work 👍🏻 **Developer response:** Glad you’re enjoying ReadTracker! And thank you kindly for taking the time to leave a review, it means a lot 🫶 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nope *2025-10-23* Deleted it straight away. A pain to figure out how to import good reads with no help, plus it wants £30 a year for basic features. Not for me **Developer response:** I’m very sorry to see this review, it does hurt 😞 I have written the steps to import from Goodreads in the app’s site’s FAQ; it only takes a couple of steps: 1- get the CSV file from Goodreads (how to get the file is explained in the FAQ). 2- in the “Import Data” screen in the app, select Goodreads and then just tap the Import button to upload your CSV file. As for the subscription, well, I wish I could share this passion project of mine with the whole world without requiring payment, but alas I have a family to feed! I do offer a LOT of functionality in the free version, and there are also weekly and monthly options (or a one-time payment) as well, not just the yearly plan. Is it unfair to expect compensation for one’s work, especially when your family’s livelihood literally depends on it? ### 1/5 — 现在的阅读软件都可以记录单本书每日阅读字数 时间 总体进度 等 *2025-08-14* 不能实现阅读功能 专门出一个书本记录进度 我在其他软件阅读 然后进这个软件记录自己的阅读进度 超级的鸡肋 ，连苹果自带的阅读软件都比你的好很多，不知道作者出这个软件的意图和意义何在 ？然后还要要高价开会员，难怪下载量少 也没有评论，确实鸡肋软件。 **Developer response:** 你好！非常感谢你试用这个应用 :) 不过这个应用是用来追踪你的阅读进度的，并不是一款真正的电子书阅读器。你不能在应用里直接读书，只能记录阅读进度。以后我可能会扩展功能来支持阅读电子书，但目前还不在计划范围内。 祝好， Mario ### 2/5 — I once loved *2026-06-10, version 2026.5.21* I use to love this app. It really helped me getting my TBR organized once I started reading again without making a spreadsheet. Here lately it’s not updating. Every time I go to add a new book. It errors out. The app on my phone and and the app on my iPad don’t sync up. ### 2/5 — 和書を検索できない場合がある *2025-10-05, version 2025.9.30* あいまい検索やISBN検索などで和書が引っ掛からないことが多いです。UIは、他の読書管理アプリと比較すると使いやすく、気に入っているので、手動追加しなくてもよくなると嬉しいです。 ### 2/5 — Bien mais dommage que la version gratuite soit aussi limitée *2025-07-13* Ok, mais limite de 1000 livres dans la version gratuite donc ne permet même pas d’importer ma librairie goodreads en entier (importer ces 1k livres a déjà mis ~10h ?? l’import ne charge pas en arrière plan ??). Donc déçue. **Developer response:** Bonjour ! Merci d’avoir pris le temps de laisser un avis, et je suis vraiment désolé·e pour la mauvaise expérience que vous avez eue. Je vais travailler sur la fonction d’import pour qu’elle puisse fonctionner en arrière-plan. Vous avez tout à fait raison : devoir garder l’app ouverte pendant des heures pour importer 1000 livres, c’est une très mauvaise expérience. Je m’excuse sincèrement, et je vous remercie pour votre retour — c’est seulement en découvrant ce genre de souci que je peux améliorer l’app et la rendre aussi bonne que possible. Je vous tiendrai au courant ici dès que la fonctionnalité d’import aura été améliorée ! Bien à vous, Mario ### 2/5 — 検索でヒットしない場合 *2024-11-23, version 2024.11.17* UIを気にいって使っています。 新しい図書を登録するときに、書名、著者、ISBNで検索できるのですが、そのどれでもヒットしない場合、手入力で追加できないようです。仕方なく、同じ著者の別の図書を追加して、手元にある本の情報へ書き換えました。 この手のアプリで、和書を検索して追加しようとしてもデータベースにヒットしないことは多々あるのですが、ヒットしない場合に手入力で追加できないのには初めて出くわしました。手入力する方法はあるのかな？ あと、2冊和書を登録したけど、どちらも出版年が「1900」になっているのかな？少し引っかかります。 ### 3/5 — Is the app down? *2026-01-30, version 2026.1.29* Any time today that I search for any book it says it’s not connected to the internet. ### 3/5 — Nice but *2025-08-19* Nice UI for a read tracking app but I found it annoying to see the book review pop up whenever I marked a book as completed. It would be nice to turn it off in setting. Also the is a bug that would cause the app to crash when changing or deleting tag, I forgot which one. **Developer response:** **Update: I have added the option to prompt for the book review upon completion. Please check out the latest update (Version 2025.9.23 as of this writing). If you’re satisfied please consider updating your review, as this low score really hurts 🥲** Hey thanks so much for the feedback! I will make the review pop up optional; wasn’t aware that it could be annoying to some. Will also look into the trash you mentioned; I haven’t run into that myself, but I’ll take a closer look. Hope the rest of the experience has been smooth, and that you may consider updating this review once I patch the issues your brought up 🥹 ### 3/5 — Falls apart at the very end *2025-07-16* This book didn’t grab me and not let go. I had no troubles in setting it aside to do other things, do some household chores or run errands. Doubly disappointed at the very end. I’ll stop there - no spoiler alert required. **Developer response:** Sorry, but you seem to have placed a review in the wrong place! You’re sharing your thoughts on a particular book… in the app’s review! Please consider updating this, as your experience with a particular book has nothing to do with the app itself. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Has the bones to be a great app *2025-04-04* Overall the design and aesthetic is great. It’s a clean UI with an easy UX, that’s pretty self explanatory. It is kind of buggy and glitchy which was somewhat disappointing. Screens/menus will close while I’m in the middle of doing something, buttons aren’t responsive things like that. I’m hoping that it gets worked out. I’m also not a fan of “backlog” being used instead of “TBR” or “to read”… backlog reminds me of work and everything that needs to be done. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks a bunch for taking the time to write a review and share your feedback. Constructive criticism is crucial for me to keep improving the app over time. I think I responded to you on Reddit about the issues you’re having. Could you please send me a message to support with more details about these problems? I have not been able to reproduce that glitchiness you mentioned, and I haven’t heard this from other users either. I need your help figuring out exactly where these issues are happening so I can fix them for you. I want you to have a smooth and great experience just like everyone else :) Thanks! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-06-28* Great App works great , keeps track of all my books and easy to use **Developer response:** Thanks so much for taking the time to leave me a review, it means a lot ☺️ Glad to hear you’re enjoying ReadTracker! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2026-06-24* Honestly the best reading tracker out there. Looks great, works well and has lots of functions. Only problem is the reading timer can just close on you especially if you pause it then leave the app. That can be pretty annoying. Though the customer support is great. Last time I had an issue it was fixed soon after. Great dev! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for leaving me a review, it means a lot! 🥹 As for the problem you’re bringing up about the timer, please email me at support with details so I can look into it. I haven’t been able to reproduce such error on my end, so I’d like to know whether there’s something in particular you do that triggers this. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-06-11* I really like this app. It helps me stay organized with my reading. In fact having this app is a reminder for me to take time out to relax and read. **Developer response:** Glad to hear you’re enjoying the app! 🤩 Thanks for taking the time to leave me a review, it means a lot ☺️ ### 5/5 — Bug à l’ajout de thèmes *2026-04-09* L’application est incroyable, les données de lecture sont super intéressantes, on peux laisser nos avis et nos propres notes sur les livres. Mais pourquoi ne puis-je plus ajouter de thèmes dans la catégorie « thème »? Je ne peux plus en créer ni même ajouter des thèmes déjà existant sur les livres terminés. C’est vraiment dommage. **Developer response:** Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour votre avis, ça me fait vraiment plaisir ! 🫶 Concernant les thèmes, il y a une nouvelle façon de les ajouter et de les modifier ; tout est toujours là, mais l’apparence a changé. Si vous n’avez pas encore trouvé comment faire, n’hésitez pas à m’envoyer un email et je vous guiderai. Je peux vous partager une capture d’écran ou un enregistrement pour vous aider. Bien cordialement, Mario ### 5/5 — Great Tracker *2026-03-22* This app is beautifully designed and has a great UI. The time tracker also works great and you can start your tracking from your Home Screen! I use the last 7 day widget which lets me easily see how many pages I have read the last 7 days as well as start the timer to keep track of how long I read each day! One of the most functional book trackers out there! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for leaving me such a nice review, it means a lot! Glad to hear you’re enjoying ReadTracker 🤩 ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-02-19* Love this app! One of the best I’ve found in a while to track all of my reading! Support was also amazing. I had an issue with the app crashing, emailed support, and we worked back and forth until the issue was resolved. Replies were quick and very helpful! Had everything working in a few hours! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for talking the time to leave me a review; it means a lot! I’m very glad I was able to solve your problem; don’t hesitate to reach out anytime you need help with anything else or if you’d like you request some features ☺️ ### 5/5 — Best Book App to Date *2026-02-12* Been using this app for over a year now. I have tried out most tracking apps and this is the one that has stuck the longest. The developer really listens to what the consumer wants 👏 There is a development road map within the app to submit any requests)and you can see others too) which can be bumped up by other users that want the same. The developer is ridiculously fast at responding and always try’s to make your wishes come true. It truly shows how much this app means to Mario to get this right for the book community! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! And very glad to have you onboard ☺️ Looking forward to continuing to grow and improve ReadTracker with our community 🙌 ### 5/5 — Really nicely designed & motivating *2026-02-02* I love this app! I used Goodreads for years but wanted something where I could record my books/notes/thoughts privately rather than publicly. I tried a few options, and ended up settling on ReadTracker because it's so pretty and has a reading timer (optional) and great stats that I find super motivating. I've been reading more than ever. Also, the dev is very active & responsive. **Developer response:** I’m thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the app, and glad to have you onboard! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me such a thoughtful review, it means a lot! 🫶 ### 5/5 — Хороший потенциал *2026-02-01* Когда появится рабочий поиск книг? Еще хотелось бы иметь возможность сделать язык приложения русским (он заявлен, но я не нашла где это изменить), а также при ручном вводе книги можно было бы оставить обязательным полем только название книги, остальные категории оставить пустыми, так как в ручную все это забивать просто невозможно. Хотелось бы купить премиум версию конечно, но полное отсутствие поиска останавливает **Developer response:** Привет! Поиск книг был исправлен начиная с версии 2026.2.2, пожалуйста, обновите приложение до актуальной версии. Для русскоязычных названий я бы рекомендовал использовать вариант поиска через Google вместо ISBNdb (кнопка для переключения типа поиска находится в верхней части экрана поиска). Что касается языка: по умолчанию приложение отображается на языке системы. Если язык телефона — русский, то и приложение должно быть на русском. Если же язык системы у вас какой‑то другой, в настройках приложения есть кнопка, которая перенесёт вас в раздел настроек, где можно выбрать русский именно для этого приложения. Эта кнопка появилась в последней версии, так что ещё раз — обязательно обновите приложение. И напоследок: при ручном добавлении книги вам не нужно заполнять все поля! Обязательны только название и обложка (а также количество страниц, если вы хотите отслеживать прогресс по страницам для вручную добавленной книги). Если у вас появятся ещё вопросы, в любой момент пишите в поддержку по email — я отвечаю быстро! ;) ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-01-14* This is everything I’ve been looking for in a book app. It’s simple, clean, and looks amazing. So far I have zero complaints and everything’s been perfect, when I have something to suggest I’ll edit this or make a new one. Thank you for this app and for keeping it free. **Developer response:** I’m very glad to hear you’re enjoying the app 😍 If you ever want to request new features or suggest improvements, please feel free to reach out to the provided support email. There’s also a “Feedback board” that you can access through the app’s settings that allows you to submit feedback as well as comment an upvote on feedback provided by other users. Thanks again for leaving me a review, it means a lot! 🫶 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
