## Review summary

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.

### Cons
