User Reviews

Users praise the app’s simple, clean design and its clear Read/Reading/Want to Read organization for tracking progress. However, recurring issues include crashes and glitches, unreliable barcode scanning, a weak search function, and the lack of syncing/backups across devices. Feature gaps like deleting titles and limited organization options further impact long-term use. Overall, it’s a lightweight, easy-to-use tool when it runs smoothly, but stability and missing management features are the biggest drawbacks.

Pros

Simple, clean, minimalist design that's easy to use.
Clear Read/Reading/Want to Read organization for tracking progress.
Barcode scanner feature for quickly adding titles (a commonly cited capability).

Cons

Frequent crashes and glitches impairing use and stability.
Barcode scanner is often unreliable or nonfunctional.
Poor search function; finding titles can be difficult or requires ISBNs.
No syncing or backups across devices; no user accounts to transfer data.
Missing essential management features: cannot delete titles and limited organization options (no folders or custom ordering).

Maintenance on this app is non existent which is sad because I loved the idea of what this was meant to be. It was done before Margins and Fable so really gave you an easier way to track reading if you didn’t want Goodreads. But the glitching is so bad I just sadly decided I have to give up adding to the app anymore. Any addition to the lists crashes the app. It had a long run but it just isn’t there for enanymore.

Having difficulty scanning the ISBN code on both iPad and iPhone. Won’t work.

I love this app, but I wish there was a 4th section for books not finished (ones I never plan on finishing). I still like to know that I already tried to read a book even if I don’t ever plan on finishing it. Right now, those books are in my “Reading” column, which is getting fuller than I’d like. PLEASE ADD A “DNF” SECTION! *insert pleading gesture*
