User Reviews

Reviewers praise the concept, organization, and note-taking, plus a wishlist feature and usable free tier. However, repeated issues include unreliable Goodreads imports, deletions not persisting, crashes and saving failures, data inaccuracy, and pricing concerns. Overall sentiment is hopeful but stability and data integrity need significant fixes.

Pros

Clear shelving organization with Finished, TBR, and Currently Reading, plus multiple viewing options (list or covers).
Notes feature to capture details for individual books.
Wishlist for feature requests with voting and visible updates from developers.
Positive overall concept and potential as a strong alternative to Goodreads for many users.
Free version provides core functionality and is usable without immediate premium upgrades.

Cons

Unreliable Goodreads import: wrong entries, duplicates, or complete failure to import data.
Cannot permanently delete books; deletions do not persist and items reappear after refresh or relaunch.
Frequent crashes and stability issues: app crashes, won’t open, or stops saving data.
Data accuracy problems beyond imports: incorrect book info, missing covers, duplicates, and mislabeling.
Premium pricing and tier limits: recurring complaints about subscription cost and the 50-book limit / lack of a one-time purchase option.

This app is hard and complicated to use I first made my book and it doesn’t even say to add the pages it’s frustrating to use this app also the fact that the custom books can’t even get deleted it’s a mess in this app it’s so trash fake books that you don’t even find anywhere at all this app needs to get more fixes.

I love this app but you cannot connect with friends. Also the import from Goodreads does not work. I had to manually transfer info from Goodreads

I love this app with the exception of one super annoying issue. You are unable to permanently delete books that you add or that the Goodreads import gets incorrect. The books appear to be deleted immediately after trying to delete them but if you refresh the open, or close and reopen it, all of the deleted books reappear. Please fix this!!!
