New: ask your books questions, hear your notes as a 2-minute recap, and snap your shelf to add every book. AI features are clearly labeled. Basmo is the reading tracker that helps you remember what you read. Keep a shelf, set a daily reading goal, save your highlights and notes, and use AI to get more out of every book. AI features are clearly labeled in the app. SMART TOOLS (AI) • Explore: recommendations based on the genres you like and the books you finish, with a key-ideas page for every book. Read it or listen to it, spoiler-free. • Ask the book: ask a question and get an answer drawn from your own notes. • Recap: turn your notes on a book into a 2-minute listen. • Scan a page and ask about it: Basmo reads the photo, tidies the text, and answers your questions about it. • Reading check: quick questions made only from your own notes, to help you remember what you read. • Connected books: discover books that share the ideas you just read. • Smart daily goal: reads your calendar and makes your goal lighter on busy days, so your streak stays safe. • Shelf scan: snap a photo of your shelf and Basmo adds every book it can read. READING TRACKER • Your library: books you want to read, are reading, and have finished, in print, ebook or audio. • Daily reading goal, streaks, progress and weekly stats. • Highlights, quotes and notes in one place, with scan and text recognition. • Widgets that bring back the quotes you saved. • Reading pals: invite friends to keep each other motivated.

Updated Review 26 December 2023

I’ve been using Basmo for two years. There have been additions and updates that are excellent. I wanted to have a way to pause a session and now have that ability. There are a few more reactions, and if none of them fit how I feel, I write a note. The AI feature is great. It never gives spoilers but does answer specific questions. I don’t use it for every book; I use it when something I’m thinking is important to understand the storyline. I ask a specific question: when reading One Hundred Years of Solitude, I asked who was the main character. The explanation that there was no one main character gave nothing away but helped me understand the narrative flow. I loved that book and had tried reading it as least five times in the past. Initially, I had some problems, but after posting a disappointed review, the owner contacted me. There was some confusion on both sides, and he helped me get it straightened out. The one recommendation I made - having the ability to pause a session - is something they are working on. I’m enjoying it and glad I signed up. There could be more emoji feelings such as confused, disturbed, satisfied, excited - because awesome, happy, and sad are rather limiting.

Thank you so much Kate for your rating! We'll surely have the pause functionality you suggested, together with more emotions, soon. Also, please note there are currently more than 3 emotions, just swipe to the left to see confused and other emotions. Thank you for being part of our community! Laurentiu-Victor

Not Just to Track Reading! Homeschooler goodness!

I have been using Basmo for over a year and a half for personal reader tracking, and the stats are fun to review. Note taking while reading more intense literature is super helpful. But with the new ability the “chat” with your book using AI, I discovered another great use:Homeschooling book report assistance. The chat suggests some very well thought out questions that could easily be used for kids book report and comprehension questions, so while parents have skimmed the book, they can have brief and accurate chats with a wide range of books to find deeper meanings and little details that might have been missed. I am pretty excited to make use of this feature in the future.

I like this apps user interface and simplicity. I also like that you can save notes, customize book covers and track reading time. It encourages me to read more. I just wish that we could start a second read of a book without deleting the records of the first read. I almost subscribed when I learned that there is no way to start a second read. When you edit a session there is a section that’s titled first read so you would assume we can also start a second read but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Anyway, awesome app but it’s just missing one key feature for me. Hopefully it is added soon and I will subscribe when it’s added.

I love this app and it’s helped me to track where I can see how long I’m taking to read a book or how much I should read to finish a book on a certain date. I do wish there was a way I can use my Apple Watch to start the timer and put how many pages I’ve read. I really like using this app especially with the ai that I sometimes use when reading philosophy books and I’m confused what I just read. Bookly was an app I’ve considered over this one due to the Apple Watch feature but I just can’t part with the ai and simpleness of using.

Basmo speaks your language again. • If you used the old Basmo in German, French, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian or Swedish, the app is back in that language • Your reading streak and totals count every session after the update AI features are labeled in the app.
