I recently tried out this brand new reading application and I have to say it’s one of the most refreshing and thoughtfully designed book apps I’ve used in a long time. The interface is clean, intuitive, and incredibly easy to navigate. From the moment you open it, it feels like the app understands how readers actually engage with their books. One of my favorite features is the ability to log your thoughts and reading progress as you go. It’s not just a generic progress bar, you can jot down random thoughts mid read and use emojis to express your feelings and the app provides you with a “fun” progress bar. This feature adds a lighthearted social element for tracking your reading. But the real standout is what I like to call the “book graveyard”. This clever feature lets you move unfinished books or abandoned books to their final resting place! It’s a fun, honest way to acknowledge that not every book is for everyone and it makes the reading experience more human. Overall, this app strikes a perfect balance between personality and functionality!

I was a beta tester for this app and the fact that there were nearly DAILY updates during testing was incredible. The feedback from the user was really listened to and all of the features are so cute!! The UI is very simple to use and I love that you can track your stats, leave notes as you update your reading, take a photo of the book cover and get the book added automatically (MY FAVORITE FEATURE), and you have a little roadmap showing your emotional journey through each read!! Truly this app is so cute and I can’t wait to tell all my friends to download it!!!!

I really love the idea of a lot of the features in this app. The emotional journey is super cute, and I like that I can make entries for previous days in case I forget through the experience. The idea of the “places you go” map is so fun, but I think it’s a little off right now. Obviously, the app just came out, so I don’t understand it fully and bugs are to be expected! But…why are my pictures putting me in Tibet? And why can I not change it? My book isn’t set there, and I’ve never been there lol. In other news, A DNF GRAVEYARD BECAUSE SOMEONE FINALLY UNDERSTANDS 😭😭 might be my favorite part of the whole app so far, and I haven’t even used the graveyard yet!

This was definitely a different app for me to try. I’m grateful to have been a beta tester. At first, I wasn’t sure about this - I loved the idea of taking a photo of a reading session but in practice I wasn’t doing that a lot HOWEVER! I’m really enjoying it even when reading from home bc it gets me to romanticize reading and make it a whole vibe. I like the emoji map of my feelings while reading and I like that I can jot down notes either each entry to remember how I felt at certain plot points. It’s like a digital reading diary and if that’s your speed, get this app!
