BookBound vs The Last Book Shelf

BookBound is a reading tracker for people who love books. Keep your entire reading life in one calm, beautifully designed app — from the titles on your wish list to the page you finished last night. THREE SMART SHELVES Sort every book into Want to Read, Reading, and Finished. Moving a book between shelves is a single tap, and BookBound records the dates you start and finish each title so your reading history builds itself. PAGE-BY-PAGE PROGRESS Log your current page whenever you pick up a book. A visual progress bar shows exactly how far you've come, and BookBound automatically moves a book to Finished the moment you reach the last page. SET AND CRUSH YOUR READING GOAL Choose a yearly reading goal and track your pace all year. Your stats dashboard shows books read, books in progress, and how your year is shaping up — so every finish feels like a milestone. RATE, REVIEW & REFLECT Give every book a star rating and write a personal review you can revisit anytime. Your reviews stay with you, building a private journal of everything you've read. DISCOVER MILLIONS OF BOOKS Search the full Google Books catalog right inside the app. Browse cover art, read descriptions, check page counts, and add any title to your shelves in seconds.

How many books do you have left to read before you die? Enter your age and your reading pace, and the Librarian does the arithmetic. Most people are startled by the answer. That number is the whole idea: a life is only so many books long, so the ones you choose had better be worth it. From there, the app helps you spend it well. A CANON WORTH THE TIME More than a thousand books, each one chosen by a PhD in literature and argued for in plain language. Every book also gets an honest case against it, because your time is finite and not every great book is for you. No feed of whatever everyone else clicked. A real reader's judgment, written down. A TASTE THAT'S YOURS Take the quiz and the Librarian reads your answers like tarot, then searches the stacks for the books that belong in your hands. Name five that already blew your mind and she finds their lost kin. Crown your Top 20 and the shelf answers with ten more you haven't met yet, each with a line on why it belongs. A PLACE TO ACTUALLY READ Light the candle, set the hour, and sit with one book and nothing else. The app keeps the world out for as long as you asked. It even tallies the hours the distractions were quietly stealing, and hands them back one book at a time. YOUR SHELF, YOUR SIGN Your Top 20 becomes a Reader Passport: a crest drawn from the shape of your shelf, a constellation you can arrange, the span of centuries and languages you read across. Yours, and shareable. QUIETER ROOMS Write a letter to another reader about a single book, one a week, no feed and no likes. Read a book in step with a friend. Find the strangers whose shelves overlap with yours. Press the books you love into someone's hands. Read like it matters. It does. Last Book Shelf is free to browse. A Pro subscription opens the full canon, the focus timer, and the social rooms. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
