RIP - Crashes Out All the Time
Maintenance on this app is non existent which is sad because I loved the idea of what this was meant to be. It was done before Margins and Fable so really gave you an easier way to track reading if you didn’t want Goodreads.
But the glitching is so bad I just sadly decided I have to give up adding to the app anymore. Any addition to the lists crashes the app. It had a long run but it just isn’t there for enanymore.

Scanning
Having difficulty scanning the ISBN code on both iPad and iPhone. Won’t work.
Please add DNF section!!
I love this app, but I wish there was a 4th section for books not finished (ones I never plan on finishing). I still like to know that I already tried to read a book even if I don’t ever plan on finishing it. Right now, those books are in my “Reading” column, which is getting fuller than I’d like. PLEASE ADD A “DNF” SECTION! *insert pleading gesture*

The best I’ve found
This is the simplest, most intuitive reading list app I have come across. I’ve tried a lot of them, and this does exactly what I need it to do. I know it’s not been updated in years, so I’m hoping being the developers haven’t abandoned it!
Love the UI, but….
I use Goodreads on a regular basis, but have been wanting to switch to a new app. I tried using this app, but it doesn’t have all the books I read and there’s no way to manually add books. So, I can’t use this app if I can’t catalog all of my books.
My favorite app, but wish there was an Android version.
This is by far my favorite app. It crashes some times, but I don’t mind that. I wish there was an Android version for my friends who aren’t iPhone users. I recommend this app to a lot of friends!
Simple & easy but...
It’s a great app with a simplistic design that fulfills it’s main purpose!!
However, there is some room for improvements:
- it would be great if there was a function to customize the order of your books rather than just (Date added, Author, Title)
- there’s no tracking system for how far into each book you’re reading but that’s not necessarily a dealbreaker for me
- it would be a huge help to be able to link the app with my apple account so that I can transfer the same books to different devices and make sure that I don’t suddenly lose everything
Also just as a tip for new users, finding books can be a bit finicky sometimes. So you may have to go by the authors name rather than the book title or even type out the book title letter by letter to see if it shows up.
Best of luck!!

Unable to add new books
Having been extremely happy with this app for a good few years I have now found that I am unable to add the last three books that I have read. Is this app no longer being updated?
Amazing!
I have been looking for an app that could recognize books in languages other than english! Very useful and easy to use!
Very useful; great functionality; clean interface.
What I like about this app is the seamless functionality and the straightforward interface. It has been such a great time favorable tool, saving so much of our time that would have otherwise been spent, tediously documenting annual reading lists for school age children, to present to a teacher/evaluator for their education. In so doing this app has helped reserve more time for reading!
In my opinion, it could only be better if there was an option for creating folders, as someone mentioned before me, with the same interface design that is already in place, so that we could catalogue the literature being read by more than one individual at a time. And also, if there was the capability to send the list to someone, so that it would accommodate our needs in an even more expedient manner.
To get around these two obstacles, we create a list for one child at a time, in sections of books they have read lately, scan the books in, or search for them - it is so quick - then take screenshots of the list to have it on hand, before deleting and generating a new list.

Pretty good but a few glitches
I like this app because it helps me keep a TBR list that I don’t have to share on social media like with Goodreads. The only problem is sometimes it unexpectedly quits.
Sync to other devices
This is by far my favourite reading list app and I’ve been using it for years, it’s perfect in every way except that there’s no way for me to sync the list I’ve been adding to for years to my new phone. I’m going to have to start anew which is sad. Please sync it to iCloud or an online account!
Love this app
Great app! I love how I can track what I have read, what I’m reading and what I want to read. The book jacket is displayed, along with a summary of the book.
Easy to use; only basic functions
Easy to add it update titles from list to reading to completed. Scanner works great for adding new titles by barcode with phone camera.
Crashes a lot. No search function. No warning about adding an existing title twice. No sorting by title author or genre.

I like it but one thing
I like the app it does what I’d like it to I just wish I could organize it in order. So then the series can be 1-5 and not all over the place.
Suggestion
Love the app! Would be great if it would upload to Goodreads.
More features please?
People are looking for standard book management features not just adding want read books and ones you’ve completed. Please add what page you’re on, reminders, achievements etc. Thank you and I will use the app when these types of features are added. Overall gorgeous design but 1 star because of this.

Clean and elegant
Just downloaded the app a couple of days ago and it’s a massive improvement to the notes list I had. Love the app and it’s design.
The only thing I’d say is I wish there was a feature to share my list/s
Apart from that I’m really glad I stumbled upon this app!

After many research, I found the right app
À superb simple app, wait more efficient than many of the kind on the store. The search for books is easy and efficient. I’m sure the dev will take car of this little smart app.
Simply great...
The layout and appearance is simple clean minimalist... This is what I absolutely love about the app!
There are no ads whatsoever and it is free!
It lacks features which I would love to see in a future pro version perhaps: (I would be happy to pay for these options)
- an option to add the date when a book was read (and/or purchased)
- an option to add if you own the book (and in which format digital or physical)
- an option to backup to iCloud
