Helps me track all the books I've read, which is perfect as an incentive to read more. Grow that pile!!! 
Useful when people ask me for recommendations, I can just open the app and show them.
It's also really nice to have the books I want to read in one pile and the ones I've finished in another. 
It's very simple, and I love that you can see the book covers. You should definitely get it!
