Bookly: Book Tracker & TBR Log 4+

If you want to read a book and just enjoy it this can help you. It’s great to track the amount of time it takes you to read a book and breaks it down into sessions and time per page and what not. But this App REALLY shines by being able to do the above while also adding in quotations or thoughts (each is a different section which is nice) as you are reading. You can add them in by typing, you can add them in by dictating via voice to text or you can take a picture of the page with your phone and then crop the shot down to what you want the app to convert from pic to text. The voice dictation works great and the text from pic works pretty well too. I use both the dictation and the voice to text as well as typing in some quotes or thoughts. But that isn’t even where it ends. It ALSO lets you export your thoughts, quotes and reading times into a PDF file after you have completed the book. That’s just outstanding for study purposes or just memorizing your thoughts on a book. The paid features allow you to do some of the above, but I can say without a doubt it’s some of the best money I’ll spend each year to be able to use them. Please do yourself a favor and use this app. If you are any kind of serious reader of physical books you will absolutely love this app.

I needed something to know how many pages of a book I'm reading a day and track the progress of the book. Initially, I was using stopwatch and writing the minutes and pages down manually, but then I found this app and it made everything simple and easy. Really loved the idea of this app! You think about something and there is an app for that.
I like so much about this app from the layout to colors, feel and esthetics. Visual data and graphs help me track my progress and encourage me to read more everyday. Finding titles online is really handy, you don’t need to fill up author name and title info or take the cover photo.
For the future updates, we would love to see if there is something we could link this app with Goodreads.
Now, there is something I don’t like, the pattern of subscription. How something so simple is a monthly subscription service? I understand that there are engineers constantly working on it, but there should be at a way to pay one time and may be get some extra features. Since I'm not a heavy book reader, I would not subscribe and then forget about it and keep paying for something I’m barely using. However, I would love to support the app if there is some onetime buying feature may be with just few extra features like the option of adding 10 more books.
Again, thanks to the team for such great app and their work.

I’ve always been an avid reader, from a toddler whose punishment was to have her bookcase turned around, to a school aged kid who devoured all the books teachers threw at her to a college graduate with a BA in literature. Books are essentially my personality. But then a lot of real life happened, a lot of adult stuff and work stuff and mental health stuff that put me in the worst reading slump of my life. For the first time reading felt like a chore. In a last ditched effort to bring books back into my life I consumed as much BookTok and Bookstagram I could, I started my own LGBTQIA+ book club, bulked up my TBR, and introduced audiobooks into my life. But still I was looking for a single app that could not only track all my books, but also be used as an inventory, allow me to rate, and encourage me to read. Bookly is all of that and more! I love getting the reminders on my phone everyday to read. I love the infographics that are created after I finish a book. I love the goal visualization and the countdown of how many days I’ve read, and the fact I can listen to white noise all within the same app! Whether you are a seasoned reader or just trying to get into it, this book will support and encourage you with healthy reading habits with enough cuteness to keep you tethered!
