Memoread is a reading app for close friends. Most book apps are public. You write a review for strangers, so you write carefully. Memoread is the opposite. You share your notes with a small circle of people you trust, so you can write what you actually think. Add a book, then write notes as you read. Mark a book as currently reading, finished, or dropped, and say why you dropped it.
