Reading List: Book Tracker

I haven’t seen any ads. The app is very straightforward and easy to figure out. I didn’t encounter any limits on adding books. I like how elegant it is. I felt like other book-tracking apps were over-complicated. The features were so layered and I drowned in them. It distracted from the goal of reading and took up too much time. I feel more productive with this app. The interface is very clear. At a glance I can see my progress on several books. I like that I can edit the information for books and add custom covers because I have a lot of old books that have no ISBNs and are hard to find for sale or listed online. Thank you very much to the developer! It’s an underrated skill to know just what to include in an app and not to have too much. Less is indeed more when it means that you’re not drowned in complexity or unnecessary features and can get your work (in this case, reading) done so efficiently. :) I just wanted to add that I’d love to see support for Roman numerals (they are usually used in the introductions and prefaces). I hope you consider adding that feature in the future. :)

This app is exactly what I’ve been searching for literally all year. The UI is so much easier on the eyes than other sites and apps, and the overall functionality is very intuitive. The search function is so much better than any other site I’ve tried as well. I can spend less time configuring my lists and more time actually reading because lists are much quicker to create using it! This app isn’t bogged down with features most people won’t use, which in other apps equates to a lot of visual noise. This app even allows you to create custom lists! And I love that it correctly pulls the cover of the book you list so you can skim your lists quicker. I’m so appreciative to have this app after searching through so many apps and sites all year. It’s incredible how hard it is to find a reading app that helps you track your reading with a sleek UI, so thank you to the developer! The only feature I can see being something I’d love to have in the future would be a way to set reading goals for the year/month/etc. so I see some kind of progress meter (just a nice motivator to have). But with the custom lists feature, I can still create what lists I’d like to get through in a given year, so even that isn’t essential. Seriously love the app and hope it continues to be updated! :)

Great app to help you stay on track with reading. This app has been wonderful in helping me follow through with my reading goals. The first year I used the app I managed to read 50 books since it was so exhilarating to see the percentage of book read increase. In the 2nd year of use, much more of life on my plate, the app, however, has been extremely helpful in keeping me a reader as it reminds me exactly how many days I’ve been reading a book. I never want to be on a book more than 2 weeks so it helps me stay on track with my reading. Aside from this, I’m able have several book lists which I have one for hard copy books and one for audiobooks. Finally, the app allows you to shelf which books you want to read which for me means never forgetting which books I want to read. 👍🏽👍🏽

If you are looking for a way to keep track of your books, current reads or future reads than I HIGHLY recommend this app. Reading List is really incredible in what it does for being free. You can scan the barcode of your book and it’ll pop up on the main page. Then it allows you to categorize your books and keeps track of them as you read them. You can make certain personalized categorizes for your books into and label them as anything you’d like. This app in my opinion is definitely worth downloading even if just to try it out because for free, I can’t complain. I’ve only had it for a couple of days and knock on wood, it’s been add free. It was just what I needed. I cannot stress this enough, HIGHLY recommend. 😄💖

I really love this app. It helps me keep track of the books I’m reading and that I want to read very easily. I go through a lot of books, and often would forget what I had read from week to week, and this app helps keep me organized and remember books from months back. The only thing I wish would change is that when you reread a book, you essentially have to erase the old entry in your history to accommodate for the new one, as the app doesn’t appear to understand what rereading is. For example, if I read “Frankenstein” in September and decided to reread it in November, the app would make me reset the entry to November, making it seem like I never read it in September. The way I get around this is by making a note of the dates, but I wish that the feature didn’t erase books you’ve read before. Other than that, it’s a great app that I use every day.
