### 5/5 — Manual Sorting

*2026-04-20*

Love the app. Please add a Manual sorting option to the Books tab in your library, the same as GameTrack has. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Simplicity at its best

*2026-03-13*

I used multiple apps before I got here. Too many provided complex options that weren’t necessary and then was missing books I was reading. 

This app is the first to allow me to track my comics and books in an easy to use, simple manner while looking beautiful doing it.

### 1/5 — The change has destroyed its usefulness

*2026-03-06*

The app is a dog. It needs to download so much data it can’t load quickly.  I used this app daily to mark what books I needed and could scroll though my lists and though the issues with ease.  This is not the same app I bought. It is depressing that this just changed like this overnight without warning.  Any review you see below this is a reflection of comic tracker not storylines.  Why couldn’t they create a separate app to do all this extra features. Give me the option to keep the old version?  Now I have to go find a new app

### 4/5 — Great but….

*2026-01-21*

I would love to see a way to track time read in live reading sessions if possible and I’d love to see a way to track progress by chapters read as well!

### 4/5 — Great but….

*2026-01-06*

I would love to see a way to track time read in live reading sessions if possible.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2025-12-30*

Used to be good, but now it’s absolutely horrible. It’s extremely laggy and if you try to delete the app and redownload it, it completely wipes all of your data. I usually never write views, but I had to for this piece of garbage. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

### 5/5 — Great for keeping track of the issues you need

*2025-06-26*

Its a visual shopping list. I use it to make an issue list for each title I am looking for.  And since they are covers it’s easy to spot if the book in your hand is in your list. 
Takes a bit to build the lists but if you’re a comic person, you’re already a little OCD. 
And it’s easy to remove an issue.  And it keeps them in numerical order. 
How’s that?

### 3/5 — subscription

*2025-05-06*

I love the layout of this app and how easy it is to use, as well as how you can keep track of where you are while reading a book, but unless you pay you can’t add more than 10 books to your library. This app definitely has potential but the subscription fee deters me from using it as much as I’d like to

### 5/5 — 10/10 :D

*2025-05-04, version 2.1.1*

Tolle App, super schönes Design

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-03-13, version 2.1.0*

Super buggy, particularly on Mac. Had to force quit.
