The Best! Ever!
SPINE is such a wholesome app. It’s to see what your friends are reading, and it makes me want to read more. Ironically, an app that makes me scroll less. Also, I love the tiered rating system. Other book rating apps have me anxiety with the 5 star rating options because it didn’t seem so cut and dry, but I’ve been having a much easier time tiering out each book and seeing the visual rankings. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Best way to rate books!
As someone who doesn’t like giving start ratings to books, the tier ranking system is something I didn’t even know I needed. The app is great and looking forward to it growing!
Simple, user friendly & fun
I love that I can so easily see what my friends are reading, & how they’ve rated the books they’ve finished! I also love the feature where you put the date that you finished a book, it’s fun to keep track of !
Spine Health Matters!!
I’ve been in awe of Tan’s work ethic for as long as I’ve known him, but the conception, creation, and execution of Spine is by far one of the things I’m proudest of him for. I can say, in no uncertain terms, that Spine is the most user-friendly and sensible book-logging app I’ve encountered. I’m an avid reader but I’m a tech pariah, so Goodreads didn’t feel foolproof; it was clunky and awkward and would often crash unexpectedly when I was on a book-logging spree. Spine is streamlined and incredibly easy to use! I’m able to rank my favourite books in a tier list, see recommendations immediately, and see my own notes without digging through the app. My favourite features include (but aren’t limited to):
-Tier ranking system (duh)
-Ability to move between main feed and friends feed
-DNF shelf (quite embarrassed that I utilise this one, but alas)
A must-download for anyone who loves to read!

G**dreads who?
There are many reasons why I’ve been loving Spine but I think my favorite thing is the discover tab/book recommendations. They’re always spot on and my TBR list runneth over. Using the app feels so seamless and everything flows well together (plus the rating system is S Tier) glad to be an OG Spiner for life

Better than Goodreads by a mile
Need I say more? Nay
PEAK
Goodreads get out the way, addition to tracking my reads has been reinvigorated!
Finally
Been needing this real bad !!!!
Spine > Goodreads
I’ve used Goodreads for years and always felt like it was more of a giant database than an actual community for readers. Spine feels like the opposite. It’s built around the social experience of reading instead of just logging books.
The biggest difference for me is the tiered ranking system. Instead of the usual 1–5 stars that end up clustering everything between 3.5 and 4.5, Spine lets you place books into clearer tiers. It makes ranking feel more intentional and useful. You can actually tell the difference between a solid read and something that belongs in your personal top tier, which is something Goodreads has never done well.
What really sets it apart though is the social side. Spine feels like a hub for people who actually care about books and talking about them, not just collecting ratings. The sharing features and overall design make it easy to show what you’re reading and connect with other readers in a way that feels more alive than Goodreads’ older, more generic setup.
If you’re someone who wants better ranking tools and a stronger sense of community around reading, Spine is a clear step up. Tanner’s put together something that actually feels built for modern readers instead of just another tracking app.
Highly recommend giving it a try.

Saved My Life
My reading life that is. I am actually in awe at how smooth and polished this app is… not only is it a fun new way to connect with friends but the discover feature has me itching for the next read!
