## Review summary

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.
