Excellent Book Tracker

This is a great app for keeping track of reading. I value that the design is clean/doesn’t feel cluttered, and that it does exactly what it says (helps you track books) and doesn’t bombard with any other ads or gimmicks. Just nature themes and books.

Maybe the best reading tracker

This might be the nicest looking reading tracker out of them all. It's got all the features of any other book tracker so you're not giving anything up, and it just plain looks better. Love the shareable cards, love the tree planting. Imported my books quick and easy. Reached out to the developers to ask a question and they got back to me so fast! So far, amazing experience, will probably switch long term.

Keeps me reading!!

I love the streak feature. It will motivate me to read (at least a few pages) on days when I otherwise wouldn’t have. The interface also just feels fresher and easier to navigate than a typical book tracking app. And I get to grow little trees!!! Love it 💚🌳🌴🌲🌱

Thanks for the thoughtful review! We're so happy you're enjoying the streaks and the trees! Here's to many more days of happy reading and flourishing forests 🌳

Truly the best reading log app

I’ve tried every single app to log reading. This one is not only far prettier and more functional, but the community it offers is truly special. Not only that, but it is also run by indie designers who are passionate about books! Truly using this app is one of the best parts of my day, and using it is a one of a kind experience.

My new favorite reading tracking app!

This app has really helped me read more but in a way that doesn’t feel like a chore! I’ve tried quite a few reading trackers to try to get away from Goodreads and none of them clicked for me until Understory! I especially love how you can grow real world trees as a premium user so it’s awesome that my reading can support an indie team and have a positive environmental impact! The UI is so cute, especially with the plant theme, and I love growing my trees as I read. I’m competitive so I also love the leaderboards but I know I’m competing in the middle, not at the top, and it’s been a fun additional feature and doesn’t take away from reading for fun! Would highly recommend whether your reading goal is 1 or 100!
