Reading Map
Read full descriptionHide full description
Put the books you’ve read on a world map. Enter or paste a list, import a screenshot, or scan a physical book cover. Reading Map recognizes titles on device, matches each work to its country, and creates an interactive reading globe, vintage-style posters, a year-in-books report, and a personal reader card. Keep building your reading world, sync it between your personal devices with iCloud, and export every sharing size in one tap. Title recognition and matching happen on device; screenshots and cover photos are never uploaded.
