Every book you read, kept for good. Readable is a calm, private place to track what you read and see your reading life measured — page by page, year by year. No noise, no feeds shouting for your attention. Only your books, and what they add up to. Open the app and start straight away — your name, your genres, your favourite books. No account required until you want one, and everything you make comes with you when you do. TRACK EVERY BOOK Log what you're reading, what you've finished, and what's next. Time your reading sessions — real books included, not just ebooks — record your pages, and watch a quiet streak build as you go. Search by title, author or ISBN, or scan a barcode. BRING YOUR LIBRARY WITH YOU Moving from Goodreads or StoryGraph? Import your whole library with a single CSV file and keep your history. SEE YOUR READING, MEASURED A stats screen built like a year in review: books finished, pages read, and reading days as a masthead you'll want to screenshot. Go deeper into your genres, your most-read authors, how your ratings fall, and how your pace changes through the year. EARN YOUR MILESTONES Reading milestones drawn like engravings — earned quietly, kept for good. Yearly challenges and community goals give the habit somewhere to point. KEEP A DIARY Rate on a half-star scale, review every book, keep private notes, and save the lines worth remembering. Look back on a diary of everything you've read. FIND YOUR NEXT BOOK Search that knows the difference between editions and finds the one you meant. Browse by mood when you don't know what's next. Keep a wishlist for the books you want, with buy options from stores you know — Booktopia, Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Amazon and more — matched to your country. BUILD YOUR SHELVES Organise your library your way and keep every format you own — paperback, hardcover, audio, ebook — together on one shelf. A PROFILE BUILT FROM BOOKS Headline your profile with the four books you love most, pin the reviews and lists you're proud of, and follow readers whose taste you trust. READ TOGETHER Book clubs with a room of their own: read the same book in sync, discuss chapter by chapter without spoilers, and finish together. Public, private, or invite-only. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE THEM Verified authors can claim their works, share writing progress, and host read-alongs with their readers. CALM BY DESIGN Independent, ad-free, and quiet on purpose. No feeds engineered to keep you scrolling, and no selling your personal data. When you mark a book private, it leaves every public surface with one switch. MAKE IT YOURS Choose the cover each book wears, pick your theme, and shape the app around your reading. READABLE PRO Readable is free to use. Readable Pro adds the full depth of your stats, your choice of themes, streak freezes, a cloud-synced journal, hosting your own clubs, and more — for readers who want the complete picture. A Pro subscription renews until cancelled; manage it any time in your account settings. Every book you read, kept for good. Terms of Use: https://thereadableapp.com/terms.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Yuuna at 140 against Readable's 2. Readable's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yuuna sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Readable sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
