Next Chapter Reading Log

Know what you'll love next

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

New: widgets. Keep your Reading shelf and your year in books on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, with covers and the day you're on. Both free. Next Chapter learns your taste in books, then tells you what to read next. Import your ratings from Goodreads or The StoryGraph, or your loan history from Libby, the library app. The app walks you through the export on your phone, no computer needed, and your shelves arrive with covers, synopses and crowd ratings already filled in. Then rate what you read with four honest verdicts: Ugh, Good, Great, Mind Blown. Once you have rated about 40 books, Next Chapter builds a taste model that is yours alone, and every unread book gets a prediction: how you'll feel about it, and how confident the model is. WHAT YOU GET FREE • Your whole library, with real cover artwork • One-tap import from Goodreads, The StoryGraph and Libby • Search millions of books and add them to a shelf • Four-verdict emoji ratings, notes, and favorites • Per-book taste predictions, the heart of the app • The For You feed: every unread book ranked by how much you'll like it • Reading Insights: your verdict mix, books by year, top authors, genres and series, and the books where you disagree with the crowd • Your year in books: every book you finished, your verdicts, your top authors and the one you loved most • Automatic iCloud sync across your iPhone and iPad • No ads, no accounts, no tracking WIDGETS • Currently Reading, on your Home Screen or Lock Screen: your Reading shelf with covers and the day you're on, and a tap opens the book • This Year: the books you've finished this year, against this time last year Both free, and they update on their own. NEXT CHAPTER PLUS (one purchase, yours forever) • Bookish themes: three more book-cloth color schemes • Backup and export your library, ratings and notes to a file Your library stays on your device and in your own iCloud. Nothing is uploaded to us, because there is no us to upload it to. From the makers of How To Movie and How To TV, the same taste engine, pointed at your bookshelf.
