ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Reading notes BookClip holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bookmory has 16K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Bookmory's written reviews are positive against 72% of Reading notes BookClip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bookmory ships an update every 5 days, Reading notes BookClip every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
