ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Book Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Book Tracker has 107 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Bookmarks (Read Tracking)'s written reviews are positive against 29% of Book Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bookmarks (Read Tracking) ships an update every 3 months, Book Tracker every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
