Book Journal vs Folio

Book Reviews is your personal reading companion. Track your reading journey, rate books across multiple categories like plot and character development, and reflect on what you’ve read. Build a bookshelf of your past reads, capture your thoughts, and keep your book life organized — all in a clean, distraction-free interface. No accounts, no tracking — just you and your books.

Track the books you read, organize your TBR, and build a bookshelf that feels like yours. Folio brings your library, reading progress, and favorite passages together on iPhone and iPad. • Keep track of what you're reading, what you've finished, and what you want to read next. • Build visual bookshelves: arrange your books, add decorations, and share an image of your shelf. • Add books with search or barcode scanning, or import your library from Goodreads or StoryGraph. • Log reading sessions with a timer and update your progress by page or percentage. • Set reading goals and see your activity in a calendar, with stats and streaks. • Save notes and quotes, rate books, and write reviews. • Connect with other readers when you choose. Follow their shelves and exchange messages with an account. Control who can see your profile and reading activity. Start tracking your books without an account. Folio Plus adds library sync across devices, advanced stats, widgets, Live Activities, extra goals, curated discovery, and more bookshelf customization. No ads. Read at your own pace.
