## Review summary

Reading List: Book Tracker is praised for its simple UI and strong organization of large reading lists, including easy TBR management, tagging, and internet-sourced book data. The paid version adds useful statistics. Common downsides are bugs affecting core features, inconsistent metadata from online searches, occasional UI/widget issues after updates, and limited cross-device support. Backup/export is cumbersome. Overall, it’s a trusted, privacy-minded alternative to Goodreads for many, but reliability and cross-device use are frequent concerns.

### Pros

- Simple, easy-to-use interface for adding books and tracking progress
- Excellent organization with customizable categories and a clear TBR view
- Reliable long-term tracker used by many for years with ongoing updates
- Auto-filled book data from the internet (e.g., Goodreads) with options to edit
- Paid version provides valuable statistics and enhanced reporting

### Cons

- Bugs affecting core features (e.g., barcode scanner sometimes fails; metadata not always pulled)
- Online search results can return entries with missing or incorrect metadata (ISBN, pages, publisher) requiring manual fixes
- UI changes and widgets can break or stop working after updates
- Limited cross-device/platform support (primarily iOS; risk of data loss when switching devices)
- Backup/export is cumbersome and not easy to print or fully export
