Review summary

Users generally like Livre's minimal and clean design, useful reading progress tracking, and free access without forced payments. However, multiple reviews highlight issues after updates, including data loss, missing features from prior versions, buggy behavior, poor import and syncing, and a less intuitive, glitchy interface. These problems have led to frustration and threaten long-term user retention despite the app's strong core concept.

Pros

The app has a minimalistic and clean design that many users appreciate.
It effectively tracks reading progress and motivates users by showing their reading journey over time.
No forced payments, allowing free access to basic tracking features.
Allows tracking reading by pages or percentages, which users find useful.
Provides essential features for book tracking, including shelving and progress visualization.

Cons

Recent updates have caused loss of user data and poor import functionality from previous versions or CSV files.
The app lacks important features present in older versions, such as monthly reading tracking and easy search through previous books.
Many users report glitches like missing book cover images, disappearing progress, and inability to update reading status effectively.
User interface changes are criticized as less intuitive, less smooth, and less functional compared to the previous app (Traquer).
Backup and data syncing options are either missing or unreliable, leading to permanent loss of reading history for some users.

2025-01-12	Mi*****	Doesn't let you import a basic CSV file. Only let's you use Traqure but I can't even find what that app was. I'm guessing a previous version of Livre? Either way, can't import a CSV file so it's not very friendly to migrate to. \|\| UPDATE: So, nothing works. I can add an book & shelves but images don't work and progress doesn't update.

2024-12-03	St*****	Horrible compared to the old app. Can't add books by percentage. Can't add a completed book. Can't search pervious books read without scrolling. So dissapointing because the pervious app was great and I had 100s of books saved as read. That data transfer over isn't helpful if you can't search through it.

2024-11-11	Ho*****	New layout doesn't run smoothly and lacks features I enjoyed. Preferred the previous version

2024-11-09	Ca*****	I've used this app for a long time and loved how easy it used to be. However, with the new update the UI looks so good but you can't track monthly reading anymore (which is my primary goal), most added books don't have a cover img and when you add or end a book you have to manually tag it as in progress or completed or it disappears from your lists. there's also a filter icon in Books that doesn't do anything? I really hope I don't have to change apps, it used to be so good 💔

2024-10-25	Er*****	Coming back to edit my review. I LOVED the Traquer app. It was clean, basic, and displayed exactly what I wanted, no bells and whistles. Last week it became Livre literally overnight. It's not user friendly, my data didn't import. I contacted support who told me no other person was having my issue but I see other reviews here saying otherwise. Updating progress, adding to my shelves, adding books.. all a nightmare. 3 years of tracking down the drain. Finding a new app to use.

2024-10-21	Cl*****	Ruined by the last update: - Not every book transfered. - Requiring an email feels unsecure & suspicious. - It switched the light/dark mode and can't be changed. - Cover images for all new books are just gone? - It prominently displays books you chose not to finish and you can't change that. - The UI is much less intuitive and ugly overall. - No longer displays max page #s when logging. - The user page is strange & blank. - Can't contact support in the app. Looking for suggestions for new apps!

2024-10-20	ch*****	I had been using Traquer for years and when I imported my data not everything transferred and the pages read graph for the week, quarter or year, nothing shows up. Also, there is nothing on my shelves and the import summary says it imported 127 book but only 113 show up.

2024-10-14	Ma*****	After the update, two years of progress disappeared. upd. After the new update, the progress returned. The application is still quite raw, but I hope there will be improvements soon

2024-10-14	Jo*****	The developers didn't tell me beforehand not to delete the non-working app and reinstall it. Now, 4 years' worth of tracking has been deleted, just great 👍🏻.

2024-10-14	Em*****	With the new update on October 13, 2024 it essentially wiped all my data and stopped working. I loved using this app to track my progress. :(
