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 ### 5/5 — Better than Goodreads by a mile *2026-08-15* Need I say more? Nay ### 5/5 — PEAK *2026-08-15* Goodreads get out the way, addition to tracking my reads has been reinvigorated! ### 5/5 — Finally *2026-08-14* Been needing this real bad !!!! ### 5/5 — Spine > Goodreads *2026-08-14* 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. ### 5/5 — Very well thought out and immersive App! *2026-08-14* Very cool design and excellent usability. I’ve enjoyed it so far and look forward to using it more and more ### 5/5 — Saved My Life *2026-08-14* 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! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
