Reading List: Book Tracker 4+

A great app for tracking books

I don’t normally review apps but the Reading List app does everything I need whilst being simple to use. I have recently imported 900+ books that I’ve read over the last 17 years into it (from an excel spreadsheet) and now can few all the books I’ve read, what I thought of them and also a cover image (which was lacking from my excel spreadsheet) easily which helps when I can’t remember if I’ve read a book or not. There’s no need to set up an account to use it, it stores my data in my iCloud and I can export the data to a csv file as an extra backup. I’ve added most of my To Be Read books to the To Read section so I’m looking forward to using the Shake to Choose function next time I can’t decide what book to read. I have the Pro subscription.

So useful, especially with the new update

I felt compelled to leave a review, my first app store review ever, after discovering the features from the new update - ‘read again’ and the ‘did not finish’ list. I had been using the app for a couple of years, and even got the pro version, and I love it for its unobtrusiveness and simplicity - it does exactly what it sets out to do. Having these two new features took a very good app to an exceptional one.

Like, not to exaggerate but this is one of my most used apps, and out of my most used apps it’s the one that gives me the most joy (unlike I don’t know, twitter or mail or instagram which just give me a whole load of anxiety). This is a tool designed to meet a need, and meets it perfectly. I <3 Reading List

Developer Response ,

Thank you for such a lovely review! It really brings me joy to hear how much people like this tool that I’ve been quietly crafting 😊

Perfect book tracker!

I rarely leave reviews for apps but this app definitely deserves it. I downloaded this app a few years ago in an attempt to find other book tracking alternatives to the one that I was using at the time. I’ve used this app for almost 3 years now. The simplicity of it is truly it’s charm and the fact I have never had to upgrade to the pro version to be able to use it is amazing as well, although I am planning on doing so soon to show my appreciation to the developer of it. I love that I can scan books and also organise my books into lists as well. If you’re looking for an easy to use, free and reliable book tracking app then I highly recommend this one!
