Bookmory - reading tracker 4+

I love nearly everything about this app. Only had it about a week before deciding to support and subscribe for a year. The benefit of being able to visually see read/listened to books on a calendar along with tracking the actual time is something I didn’t know I was missing in my reading logs. It’s one thing to say, read in a week and another to know exact times over that week. Love the feature to add books so there’s a TBR already there so you can quickly start your next book if you have it added. That’s helping with a faster view of seeing what’s on the horizon.

If could make any change, it would just be the log to say Day 1, 2 etc on actual days instead of the number of days since started. For example, start on a Mon, that’s day 1 and read again on Wed will show as day 3 instead of day 2. But that’s massively small seeing as tho most reading apps have the full span of days. But wi tho seeing the times each day, would just be a nice feature. But this has quickly become my daily go to reading tracker.

Thank you so much for your detailed review and for deciding to support us with a subscription! We're thrilled to hear how the visual calendar and time tracking features have enhanced your reading experience. Your feedback on day numbering is very insightful, and we'll consider how we might improve that aspect. Happy reading and we look forward to continuing to be a part of your reading journey! 😊

I really like Bookmory, I switched over from Bookly after 3 years and over 500 books. But without the subscription the app is borderline unusable and I can’t justify another subscription so I switched. I like that there’s no cap on the amount of books you can add but you can only really track time/dates read if you don’t want to pay for a subscription. Plus it dangles those fun stats in front of you that you can’t really look at unless you watch an ad or pay for the subscription. Overall, I like the UI and the ads aren’t too frequent but it’s annoying that you have to watch more to see stats that they’re already tracking. I can’t really justify the monthly/yearly payment when it’s the same as some streaming services that aren’t just tracking content, like it’s a book subscription but you have to bring your own books, it just doesn’t make sense to me. I would be willing to pay a one time fee for forever access, but I’m not going to pay that much in reoccurring yearly/monthly expenses. I will continue to use the apps free version unless some sort of one-time payment option is introduced, or I find another app with similar features that aren’t locked behind a paywall.

Thank you for your detailed feedback! 😊 We understand your concerns about the subscription model and will consider offering alternative payment options. Your suggestions are really helpful as we continue to improve the app!

I’m still using the free version as I am only just starting to use the app, but so far, I’m very pleased with it overall. Adding books, tracking progress and seeing your upcoming reads is quick and easy. The calendar is a great feature for people who want a visual tracking of their reading progress and can be customized in several ways to suit a reader’s needs.

I think my one issue right now is the rental/purchase area and familiarizing myself with the settings and trying to decide how to load the library reads. I use Libby, Cloudlibrary and Hoopla and have multiple libraries available for each so it’s more about setting up for go forward than anything.

I’d ultimately like to import books in from goodreads but I’ll have to research in terms of appending vs overwriting duplicates as I’m currently using both (since goodreads updates from my kindle reading). Also have books in kobo, bookfunnel, ibooks and collectorz (for physical books) so being able to combine all libraries would be great.

We're glad to hear you're enjoying the app and finding it helpful for tracking your reading progress and managing your upcoming reads! 😊
Keep exploring the settings and customization options to make the app work best for your reading habits. Happy reading!
