Most reading apps are a catalog, a feed, or both. ReadLog is the opposite: a quiet, private place for your reading — the books, the quotes you want to keep, and a recap you'll actually want to look back on. Save the lines worth keeping Type a quote or scan it straight from the page with your camera. Tag it to the book, add the page, mark a favorite. Your highlights live in one searchable journal — not locked inside an e-reader. See your reading add up Books finished, pages read, your reading pace and streak, top genres, books by month. Set a yearly goal and watch it fill. Every number reflects only what you've logged. Make a Reading Wrapped — anytime Turn any month, year, or single book into a beautiful recap card and share it in a tap. Not once a year — whenever you finish something you're proud of. Your library, your shelf Track every book through to-read, reading, finished, did not finish, and reference. Log sessions as you go and see each book fill up. Private by design No account. No AI. Not tied to Amazon or any store. Everything stays on your device — nothing is uploaded, synced to us, or sold. Free — no account needed Unlimited books and shelf, reading sessions, ratings, basic stats, and a yearly recap card. Premium — monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

Verdict

The call

Reading Journal and よみまち are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Reading Journal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and よみまち sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
