### 5/5 — Live activity issue

*2026-08-14*

I tried to stopping the live activity on my lock screen, but the live activity stays on the for a few seconds. After it stays on the lock screen for a few second, it disappears. Can you fix this issue?

I’ve tried a few reading tracker apps and this is by far my favorite. The interface is clean and intuitive and genuinely fun to use!

### 5/5 — A life changer

*2026-05-09*

As a person that kinda have alot of books and reading wishlist this app is really good! It helped me organize my reading life with the title that I want to read, buy, reading in progress and mostly the books that I already finished. The UI is very beginner friendly and ergonomic and the cherry on top is the social media part where you can see what your friend is reading and you can talk with them in the app directly. Plus the suggestion algorithm is good it helped me find other books with the same vibe. I recommend ❤️❤️

**Developer response:** Thank you for such a detailed and heartwarming review! We’re so happy Seekquel is helping you keep your TBR organized, connect with friends, and discover new books with the exact right vibe. Happy reading! ❤️
