BookWorm has a new Home. The book you are reading opens in one tap, a timer keeps the session, and notes stay with the book. A NEW HOME Your current book is the first thing you see. Tap the cover, then open the full page for progress, notes, and the timer. READING TIMER Start a session, pause when you need to, and save the time with your page progress or on its own. Calendar shows those minutes next to the pages you read. NOTES Write while you read. Every note stays on that book, in a notebook you can open later.

This update fixes bugs and smooths out a few rough edges, so BookWorm feels more reliable while you track books, notes, goals and reading streaks. Thanks for reading with BookWorm.

BookWorm can be heard and felt now, its reminders finally tell the truth, and a hand built Retro look joins Light and Dark. This is the largest update BookWorm has had. SOUND AND FEEL Six hand trimmed sounds and haptics across the whole app. Saving your reading progress turns a page. Buttons click, switches flip, and finishing a book has its own celebration you can feel. Because so many of you are listening rather than reading, BookWorm's sounds can never duck or interrupt your audiobook, and they obey your ring/silent switch. Sound and haptics each have a switch in Settings, plus a test row that tells you whether a silent phone is the app's fault or your phone's. A NEW FIRST RUN Setting up BookWorm is a story now rather than a tour of features. It opens with the only question that matters, how many books will you read this year, asks what you like to read and what usually gets in the way, then answers you with live previews of your streak, your goal ring and your calendar. Pages turn like paper. Your first book is confirmed for format and length before it is added, so an audiobook never lands as a paperback. THE RETRO LOOK A whole new appearance, built by hand. Retro dresses BookWorm in a 70s sunset palette of teal, mustard and burnt orange, with chunky ink outlines, hard edged shadows, monospaced numerals and striped progress bars. Find it in Settings under Appearance, where all four looks now preview their own palette before you choose. REMINDERS THAT TELL THE TRUTH The midday nudge is gone. You now get at most one evening reminder, and which one depends on what you actually did today: keep going if you are partway there, a warning if a streak is genuinely at risk, a gentle nudge if there is no streak on the line, and nothing at all once you have hit your goal. A fresh start note arrives the morning after a streak ends. Turning reminders off now genuinely turns all of them off, and tapping a reminder finally opens the screen it is about. READING QUESTS IS ALWAYS ON The daily goal and your streak are simply part of BookWorm now, with no setting to find or forget. If you had quests switched off, your streak is rebuilt from the reading you have already logged rather than starting again at zero. ICLOUD SYNC THAT ACTUALLY SYNCS An old bug meant edits to books you already owned were never uploaded, and your profile stayed frozen at whatever you set during setup. That is fixed. There is also a warning if you have no backup at all, and a welcome back screen so reinstalling BookWorm never puts you through setup again. BETTER SHARE CARDS Finishing a book deserves a souvenir. Choose a warm trophy poster or a vintage library checkout card complete with rubber stamp, in three sizes for Stories, your feed, or a square post. Each card now carries how long the book took you, your pace, how many times you paused, and its format, genre and length. A FASTER START BookWorm now works out whether you are a returning reader before it shows you anything, so you are never dropped into setup by mistake and never left watching a spinner. CALENDAR, STREAKS AND GOALS Each day's bar shows what that day actually added, so a hundred page evening looks nothing like a few pages before bed. The new year goal review no longer wishes you a happy new year in August. Update My Goal opens the goal form. The widget's Reading Quests link now reaches Reading Quests. Thank you for reading with us. Happy reading!

Dear BookWorm users, This update is all about making your reading life feel more personal, motivating, and worth celebrating. You can now add notes to the moments that stay with you, whether you are reading a physical book, an eBook, or listening to an audiobook. Your notes stay with the book, right where you need them. We have also introduced monthly reading recaps, so you can look back on your progress, goals, and reading rhythm. When you finish a book or complete a recap, you can create and save a beautiful share image to celebrate the milestone. You will also find smoother reading sessions, richer widgets, and thoughtful improvements throughout the app to help you stay connected to the books you love. Thank you for reading with BookWorm! Happy reading!

Dear Users, in this update, I focused on improving the notifications, their style, and their feel to make them more playful and more fun. I additionally added a new theme for you to explore and potentially enjoy, called Marginalia. As well, I improved the design for iOS versions that are pre-Liquid Glass, and I spent time making BookWorm feel at home on the newest iPhones too. Buttons now press with a little bounce instead of a gray flash, and moving around the app should feel calmer and more polished. Thank you for reading with BookWorm. Happy reading!

A brand-new Retro theme, richer share cards, and streak reminders that finally tell the truth. RETRO THEME Give BookWorm a whole new look. Retro dresses the app in a 70s sunset palette teal, mustard, burnt orange with chunky outlines, hard-edged shadows, monospaced type, and sunset chevrons. Your progress bars fill with a four-colour stripe, and the daily goal ring sweeps through the whole palette. Find it in Settings → Appearance, alongside System, Light and Dark. Every theme card now previews its own palette, so you can see each look before you pick it. RICHER SHARE CARDS Finishing a book deserves a better souvenir. Choose between two designs — a warm trophy poster or a vintage library checkout card, complete with rubber stamp in three sizes for Instagram, Stories, or a square grid post. Each card now carries far more of your reading story: how long the book took, your pace, how many times you paused, format, genre and length. HONEST STREAK REMINDERS No more "Keep your streak going!" when you don't have a streak. Reminders now read your actual progress and change their words to match, so a nudge is always true and encouraging when you're starting fresh. A CLEARER CALENDAR Each day's bar now shows what that day actually added, not the book's overall progress. Days you barely read look different from days you devoured a hundred pages — because they were. POLISH THROUGHOUT • Your Home card now fits every iPhone properly, with nothing cut off • Profile leads with the book you read most recently, in a larger card • Currently Reading is sorted by what you actually touched last • Books stand on a shared baseline, like a real shelf Thank you for reading with us. Happy reading!

Hi! The most important change in this version of the app is the fact that the app is no longer a paid one. No subscriptions, only tips if you want to support a developer; that's an option for you; however, no longer is this a subscription-based app. The UI is slightly changed; the onboarding is a lot shorter. I hope you like the new version of the app.

We fixed several bugs and made performance improvements to keep your reading tracker fast, reliable and up to our standards!
