## Review summary

Dante - Book Tracker is praised for its simplicity, easy tracking of reading progress, barcode scanning, and dark mode. Users appreciate the clean UI and responsive developer. However, repeatedly mentioned issues include unreliable backup/export causing data loss, poor search and barcode scanning accuracy especially for comics and non-English books, lack of auto-save in notes, and limited organization options. Users also notice flaws in alphabetical sorting methodology, making the app good but still needing important improvements.
