Review summary

Bookworm Reads is praised for its cute design, strong community features, and being a simpler alternative to Goodreads. It motivates users to read more and caters well to neurodiverse individuals. However, several users report bugs, crashes, and usability issues like poor mobile interface, missing features, and difficulties importing books from Goodreads. Some basic functions are paywalled, causing frustration. The app shows promise but needs refinement and improved stability to meet user expectations fully.

Pros

The app offers a cute, aesthetically pleasing, and intuitive interface that many users find enjoyable and motivating for reading.
It has a strong community aspect with social features like groups, challenges, and book recommendations, which users appreciate.
It's considered a good alternative to Goodreads by several users, offering a simpler and less commercial experience.
Customization options make it accessible for users with conditions like ADHD and autism, helping them track and enjoy their reading experience.
The app encourages reading habits and provides useful book tracking and management features.

Cons

Multiple users reported app bugs and crashes, including issues opening the app, unresponsive buttons, and problems with account management.
Importing books from Goodreads is problematic or non-functional, requiring tedious manual input that frustrates users.
The mobile interface often has usability issues such as cut-off boxes, small buttons, and the inability to see text while typing.
Some features are locked behind a paywall, notably reading reviews, which users find unreasonable.
Missing features such as progress updates, export options, and settings limit customization and user control.

2025-02-04	AG*****	This is perfect for my audhd. It's customizable enough that my 'tism is happy but not so complicated that my adhd spazzes out or that messing with the settings becomes the dopamine instead of actually using the app to track books. I can easily see what I have & have read & stop buying duplicates. The social aspect is also great. There's no dog piling and you can like less popular books and dislike popular ones safely. Also doesn't have hidden 3rd party trackers to sell your data!

2024-12-18	Am*****	I loved this app all year. It had an update recently and now the app won't open. Hopefully it will be fixed soon so I can add more books to my library

2024-12-18	Je*****	A good concept. I like the idea of a book tracker mixed with a social media platform. But the execution leaves A LOT to be desired. I wish StoryGraph had the social aspect otherwise I would only use that app. Lots of bugs, and missing features that other apps have. Needs more than just polish.

2024-11-12	Kr*****	Love the layout but can't export my books from Goodreads from my phone so I have to do it manually which would be fine except over half of my books aren't listed so I have to submit them. Who has time for that? Going back to Goodreads

2024-03-14	Ca*****	I love this app so much and I wish I could switch over from Goodreads to this but I can't because A. I can't import my books from it like they said I can but I think that's user error B. Everytime I try to fix my shelf it won't save C. Some of my books aren't on there that I read so I put in the books but they don't get added
