The bookshelf widget is beautiful, the share cards make it actually fun to share what you're reading on your socials, reading timer, and the stats you get is a nice touch!I transferred my entire Goodreads library over and couldn't be happier that I did. It's everything you need in a reading app. Highly recommend.

Does exactly what I want

Tried a few reading trackers and either gave up or hit a paywall before doing anything. This one just works. Adding books is quick (love the barcode scanner), timer is useful, bookshelf looks lovely. Stuck with it for a couple of weeks now and will probably continue using.
Developer Response

Easy to use, great added extras, visually appealing. Highly recommend
Developer Response
Thank you! Lovely to hear the added extras are earning their keep. Plenty more on the way, enjoy your reading.
Bring your books over from 5 apps and see what's coming before anything is added. Start reading on Apple Watch in one tap, see each book's status in your lists, and plenty of fixes.
IMPORT
- Import Library now reads Goodreads, StoryGraph, Book Tracker, Reading List and Booklog
- Before anything is added, you see every match: books we found, books already in your library and books we couldn't find. Leave out any you don't want
APPLE WATCH
- Start Reading starts your session in one tap
- Books you track by percentage get their own dial, and the Digital Crown moves 1% at a time
LISTS
- Every book in a list shows its status: Reading, Completed, Want to Read or Did Not Finish
- Filter a list by status, just like your Library
READING CALENDAR
- Tap any session in your Reading calendar to change its date, time, pages or notes, or delete it
FIXES
- Date Finished can now be earlier than Date Started, and the start date moves with it
- Widgets show covers on the Clear and Tinted Home Screen instead of white squares
- Reading sessions on iPhones set to Arabic now reach your account
- Square covers, like audiobooks and picture books, show in full instead of cropped
- Long subtitles no longer crowd the title in your Library, the reading timer, widgets and on Apple Watch
- Book pages show long titles in full
- A quick tap right after closing a book now opens what you tapped
- Siri's answer to how many books you've finished now shows in your language
- Siri's answers now show book titles and authors clearly, not dark on dark
- Counts are now correct: 1 book, not 1 books
