I’m finding that it’s not showing me titles that I want to save - often showing me lots of books by an author I’m searching -except the title I’m looking for! ### 2/5 — To read app *2024-06-17* I really like this app. Friends recommend books and I add them to my list so when I am at library, bookstore, or downloading a book I look at my list. However my list is gone! What hay? I’ve tried getting help tuning avail. I’m so disappointed! ### 2/5 — Alphabetical by author? *2023-07-19, version 3.1* I wasn’t looking for anything too complicated, but this app doesn’t even let you sort by author. That’s a bit too basic. ### 2/5 — Lost my list *2023-07-10* I have been using this app for years and loved it. Today I opened the app and the only books in my list are the few I entered this week. Everything else is gone. Going to use a different app from now on. ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2023-04-05, version 3.1* Great App that I have been using for a few years now. Super easy to search and add books to my never ending “to read” list. It really needs a filter to sort the list by author though. That would make it 5 stars for me. ### 2/5 — Not working like it used to *2023-03-02* I would give this app 5 stars for the several years I’ve been using it. Unfortunately, after a recent update, the app won’t load fully. When I open it, the screen is blank for almost ten seconds before the dozen or so most recently added titles appear with animated “loading” icons next to them, but then nothing happens (at least for a full minute, I haven’t given it more time than that). It is unresponsive. This is really too bad, because the app has been great for years up until this recent update. I hope this bug is fixed soon! ### 2/5 — Not all my titles *2022-04-01* Half the books I want to read don’t come up , it would be easier if I could just put a picture of the book cover in app. ### 2/5 — Deleted my list? *2021-12-20* Loved this app for years- simple way to keep track of what I wanted to read and what I’ve read. Opened it today and it had erased all my books. No support here in the App Store. ### 4/5 — Very solid app *2020-02-24* This app does exactly what I was looking for. Easy to find and add a book to your reading list. Features that would make this 5 star for me: - The ability to quickly swipe (or click) to mark a book as read - both from the online search and from my personal list - The ability to add a note about a book as a reminder (would just be neat - less important than the first one) Keep it up dev. Good work! ### 4/5 — The upgrade was probably necessary *2019-11-08* But I miss being able to search in both directions for date added. Also, the alphabet down the side helped when navigating by title. A book can’t be removed from the list nor can the “read” flag be reset. ### 3/5 — Glitch? *2019-11-01, version 2.1* The app won't let me search for a book anymore. When I click on +, the app freezes on a blank pahe. Can't get the keyboard to open. Could you fix this? I hate to delete it. Happens on both my iPhone and iPad, which do not sync. That would be a good feature to add. ### 4/5 — Update? *2019-10-20, version 2.1* I have loved this app since I first started using it a couple of years ago, but with the new iOS update it crashes whenever I try to add a new title. When will it work again? ### 4/5 — iOS Update 13.1 *2019-10-20, version 2.1* I’ve been using this app for a few years. Now with the iOS 13.1 update, I’m unable to add to my list!! Help! ### 3/5 — Like it but... *2019-10-18, version 2.1* Like how it finds the books super fast. I just wish one of these to- read apps had a place where you could add a note - like who told you about this book or where you heard about this book ### 4/5 — Something is off *2019-10-16, version 2.1* I’m unable to add a book to my list. This is a new bug, I love this app! ### 4/5 — Great App ... but does it work with recent iOS 13 update? *2019-10-15, version 2.1* I have been using this app for years - but today (one day after updating my iPhone operating system), it no longer opens correctly! I am hoping it’s a temporary glitch. ### 2/5 — Screen goes blank *2019-10-15, version 2.1* Love this app but lately on my iPhone the screen goes blank when trying to add new books ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unsure about the app *2023-11-06, version 3.1* I am trying out this app but I am not sure about the Unread tab. What do you mean by Unread? I also do not see a tab for books that are currently being read. Nor do I see a tab for books that have been finished. Is this app still being developed? ### 1/5 — Trash *2020-09-08* Like when i go to the app and get the book i want and click on it its does nothing but just deletes the book ### 1/5 — Update *2020-07-22* The last update erased all of my books. Can’t see a thing just a blank screen. ### 1/5 — My list was deleted *2020-01-20* My list was completed deleted, I think with the latest update. No way to contact or offer any other feedback. Any way to get this back??? ### 1/5 — The app ate my list *2019-12-14* Please help! I don’t want to write a negative review but I can’t find any other way to find support. I’ve used this app for years and love it, but recently and for no apparent reason other than the app was updated, my carefully curated reading list disappeared! SOS! ### 1/5 — Not working!!! *2019-10-27, version 2.1* Used to love this app but now in October 2019 it doesn’t work any more. Like many of the complaints now on this page for this issue I would suggest you look elsewhere! So sad as I really liked it! ### 1/5 — What now??? *2019-10-16, version 2.1* Love this app but can’t add any new books since last week. So disappointed!☹️ ### 1/5 — Great until new update *2019-10-15, version 2.1* Worked wonderfully until the new apple update, then I lost the ability to add new books. I tried deleting and re- adding the app, and I lost my entire book list. Really disappointing. ### 1/5 — TRASH🗑 *2019-10-14, version 2.1* PLEASE DONT GET ... ITS NOT USEFUL AT ALL. ### 1/5 — No sections *2012-12-26, version 1.0* Just a book database - no reading now, want to read, finished reading sections - would be good to have this with the dates you read it etc Otherwise you can just add or delete books. A half hearted attempt. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What a relief! *2026-07-05* This app has transformed my anxiety about what to read and how to remember recommendations from friends etc, into the pleasure of knowing I have many great books waiting for me and can share with others those I have enjoyed most. All the information is now at my fingertips. ### 5/5 — Cloud *2024-04-27, version 3.1* I had to factory reset my phone. When “To Read” came back with my other apps in the cloud none of my books were listed! Totally blank. Apple said third party apps sometimes use their own cloud. I’ve tried to reach out the developer of the app but Acorscadden.com gets me know where Any help would be appreciated. ### 5/5 — Scrolling problem *2021-04-26* I’ve used the app for years and I love it. But recent changes have me frustrated. When trying to scroll through a number of books by an author for example, I inadvertently select one that I didn’t intend to select. Then I have to delete that one and start my search all over again. This didn’t used to happen ### 5/5 — The Only App I’ve Donated To *2020-05-30* This is the only app I’ve voluntarily paid money to. It’s an amazing free service - simple and intuitive and so valuable. The creator frequently updates and improves it; I so appreciate someone putting time into a free app for something so many people will need. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2020-03-31* Super convenient and easy to use. I’ve been using this app for over a year now and wouldn’t think about using anything else. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2019-08-02, version 2.1* I love this app - it is simple and does exactly what it’s supposed to. One thing I would really appreciate in the app though would be the ability to log in the date a book is added to my list, started or completed. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2019-02-02, version 2.1* Would love even more if I could add personal notes. ### 5/5 — Love love love!!! *2018-01-09, version 2.1* I’ve been looking for an app to keep track of the books I’m eating and needing to read. This app is simple, easy and awesome! I’ve searched by both title and Author works perfect!!! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2017-09-25, version 2.1* Wasnt sure if i would be able to find an app that did exaclty this... i tend to forget books that i had the intention of reading... so this ia a great tool. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2017-09-14, version 2.1* I really like this app for tracking the books I have read and the ones I want to read. Is there an iPad version? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
