What's New in SlowRead

1.0.24

October 14, 2026

Book clubs, a new Home and your wrap ups by year. - Read together in book clubs: create one or join one, with a channel for each part of the book. - Hide the parts of a club message that are spoilers. - Vote on a club's next book and see the club's bookcase. - Your wrap ups one year at a time, with the month so far on Home and your year against the last one. - See your membership in Profile and switch to Lifetime from there. - A more compact Home, each piece in a scene in your theme's colours. - Adding a book no longer slows down the bookcase. - Sorting by saga no longer splits a saga lying flat into two piles. - Recent Bookmory spreadsheets import again.

Horrible

Seriously.. I thought it was so cool you could have a widget of a cute TBR bookshelf. Needing to pay for that is insane….could have been a better outcome if this developer wasn’t so money goal oriented

Amazing!!

Best and most beautiful book app I’ve ever used. It still has a few bugs to work out but is by far my favorite and most used app since downloading!

Thank you so much, this made our day! We're a very small team and we work every day to make SlowRead better, so hearing it's your most used app means a lot. If you run into any bugs, just let us know at hello@slowreadapp.com and we'll get them fixed. Happy reading! 📚✨

Just no

It costs way too much. Even for an indie app. It’s too expensive for literally no reason and you HAVE to pay just to use it. You can’t use it without paying.

A great reading app

I love the option to have a virtual library as a widget on my phone! The app has quite a few features that I enjoy, the timed reading that will block other apps and the ability to edit your library. The two things I wasn’t a fan of was that after my trial, the app automatically charged for the more expensive year plan instead of the offer I had received previously and I’ve had several glitches with the timed reading where it won’t end my session and just froze on that screen.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your detailed review! I’m really glad you’re enjoying the widget, the focused reading timer and customizing your library. Sorry about the timer freezing at the end of a session: we’ve found the cause and it will be fixed in the next update. Regarding the charge, the free trial automatically renews into the plan selected when it was started, and special offers apply only when they’re accepted at the moment they’re shown. If you have any questions about your subscription, feel free to write to us at hello@slowreadapp.com and we’ll be happy to help. Thanks again for your support, and happy reading! 📚

Actually obsessed 🧡🖤

I think outside of the bookshelf thing I love the reading timer it really helps me keep track of my reading and in turn helps me wind down daily. Also love that we are constantly getting updates based of our feedback. Also love that the theme icon and loading screen are fully customisable!!!!!!
