Seekquel is a book tracker you set up yourself. There is a lot in it and none of it is compulsory: build your home screen from the parts you use, switch off the rest, and keep the community on its own tab. Plenty of readers run it as a plain reading log and never touch anything else. SET UP THE HOME SCREEN • More than thirty cards: currently reading, daily goals, your streak, recommendations, your reading calendar and more • Drag them into the order you want and switch off the ones you never use • Arrange your stats page and public profile the same way • 21 themes, from Dark Academia to Cottagecore, and more than twenty app icons • Home screen widgets, adjustable text size, reduced motion and reduced transparency DECIDE WHO SEES WHAT • Public, followers only, or private, then set each part of your profile on its own • Show your reviews but hide your stats, or turn a whole profile tab off • Choose who can message you and approve followers before they see anything • No ads, no data selling, and analytics you can decline • Export everything you have added, whenever you want TRACK YOUR LIBRARY • Add books by title, author, ISBN, or barcode scan • Want to Read, Reading, Paused, Read, and Did Not Finish • Log progress by page, percent, or time listened, in the edition you actually own • Custom shelves, shelves that fill themselves from rules you set, tags, and notes • Track what you own, what you borrowed, and what you lent out • Coming from elsewhere?

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Seekquel holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seekquel has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Seekquel's written reviews are positive against 100% of BookStreak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Seekquel ships an update every 4 days, BookStreak every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
