I’ve tried numerous book trackers and while some are practical, most aren’t aesthetically pleasing. Margins, however, stands out because it’s not only practical but also boasts a beautiful design. (I love switching the light on and off - you’ll get it when you download the app. 😅) The book recommendation feature is also a fantastic bonus. I've shared Margins with many book-loving friends, and they appreciate it too. I'm excited to see what the future holds for this app!
The better book tracker.

This app is so much better than Good notes. It’s aesthetically pleasing and keeps it simple. I like the calendar that shows your daily reads by the book cover. What is even better is that you can state if you’re not continuing the book or if you’re taking a break so you can get an accurate summary on how long it took you to read the book. It’s slowly adding a community part of the app which allows to add friends.
Love this new reading app 🖤

I just discovered this app and so far I am really loving it! It synced with my Goodreads with no problem and the year end wrap up was so pretty, and I loved all the pages with predictions etc. I also love that you can see all your books like a giant poster 😁 I haven’t explored too far, so I am hoping I can log pages read for the day before so it doesn’t lose my streak when I forget to log them before midnight.
Love it!

This is a beautiful, inspirational app, clearly created by people who love to read. It keeps track of books you’ve read, books you’re reading, and books you want to read. Best of all…it recommends books based on your history. The only bad thing about it is makes me realize I’ll never read all the books I want to! I’m so grateful that found this app, and I hope it stays around forever.
