I was looking for a simple, off-line reading tracker, and this is absolutely the best on the market. Everything is stored locally, including your personal reviews. However, you can look up books and it gives you ratings from larger online websites which is extremely helpful. I love that it fills in a little picture of the book that I read on each calendar day!I have only two “complaints”, though they are not terribly frustrating. The first is that the calendar has every day start on the first day (visually Sunday), instead of following a normal Sunday through Saturday approach. The second is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to back up or import your data from the app. I would love to back this up in like a physical file in my files on my phone. But overall, very minor gripes for what is possibly my favorite app on my phone.
Hello, thanks for your review!I just wanted to let you know that in the recent version of Book End, I updated the calendar so the dates align with calendar dates. Likewise, the recent version 2.0 update has finally introduced iCloud syncing, a form of backup. I do also want to continue adding enhancements (such as bulk importing data).
