Book Tracker for Android

Quick, intuitive, no bloat. Very good app. Very happy this exists. Support the indie developers!

I really feel that this is a great app for book lovers and that’s why I’m leaving a review. I love that you’re able to track the amount of books read by month and by year. It would be amazing if the app would also track purchases as well, by month and by year, that would make the app much more detailed in how book lovers can read their books whenever they have a lot and read them in order. Thank you so much for the app and I appreciate the innovation.

I downloaded at least 15 book tracker apps in search of the best one. This is it for sure. I love the layout. It is very Applesque. Simple and clean, but detailed where it matters. You can make your library layout look all different ways. The book details have a great deal of info and places for personal notes. The best part however is the search function actually works and is useful. I know I know that seems like it should be a given, but a lot of the other apps would search library titles only and not the book descriptions, tags, and notes. This makes it impossible to find anything. This app searches it all! I really love it guys. My one and only suggestion is that you please add somewhere to track audiobook lengths and a statistic chart for hours listened. I do almost all audiobooks these days and I would love to track the time I spend listening. Thanks!!

I think it’s a great start for a small indie app. That said, the actual user experience leaves much to be desired, especially in the way you have to back in and out of a screen multiple times to make edits. As an example, adding a location is quite cumbersome. There are three tiers: the location, the room, and the shelf. To edit, each of the three moves to its own page from which you have to back out to go to the next section and so on. It was so much work, I opted not to use that feature at all. Another big issue for me was how older reads are recorded. First of all, the date UI is a mess. If I change the start date first, then once I change the finish date, the start date reverts to the same date as the finish date. Secondly, if you don’t actually remember the dates read for a book you scan, it just records it as you reading all those pages on the day you scan. I couldn’t see a way to not record a date, which is very bothersome for me. Still, it is not without redemption. I appreciate that you can edit nearly every detail, including the photo. I also like the tag feature and the multiple views on your main shelf. I haven’t gotten to use this feature yet, but the place to record if a book is loaned out is a main reason I wanted a library app. Even though I bought the paid version, the app needs a bit more thought into the UI before I see myself using it. I’ll probably just stick with StoryGraph and Goodreads.

Love the app in general. Easy to add books. Lots of tags and organization options. I wish I could search within my library. I want to be able to search easily for a book and make sure I don’t have It before I purchase at a bookstore. If this feature were added it would be the perfect app!
