Book Tracker: Reading list for Negative User Reviews
✓ Does the jobI’ve had this app for a few weeks now. There are a lot of things I like about it, but some issues I’m finding also. When I scan the barcodes, it does not always bring up the cover of the book or even the correct book. Sometimes it is a picture of a page inside the book or no cover at all even when the book has been out for a long time. You can take a picture of the cover to correct this issue, but it is annoying! Also, there is no option for adding hardcover versions. You can only add paperback, audiobook or digital. Many of my books are hardcover. I want to be able to distinguish my hardcover from paperback so I don’t buy a version I already have..Version: 2.4.8
✓ BadOnly get 5 books before you have to pay.Version: 2.4.3
✓ Useful stats, UI needs a lot of workThis app has a lot of potential. My favorite thing about it is gives stats on daily reading. You just update your place in each book after reading and the app keeps stats on how many pages you read each day. I find this element to be extremely motivating to keeping a reading habit. Most apps will show progress toward a yearly goal, but give little insight on daily progress. This app has some good capabilities in that area. The big problem with the app is the UI design. I find the navigation to be somewhat unbearable as it takes lots of taps to get from one view to another. The data visualizations could use quite a bit of improvement. They use line graphs in a lot of places, where I think bar graphs would be better, for example. Another big miss is not showing progress bars on the view of books currently reading. Overall I think the app has a lot of great functionality that could be a lot more useful with better design..Version: 3.0.13
✓ A good startI like the graphical interface but wish the Import from Goodreads worked better. Even though it is in the Goodreads csv file, the app did not import my “shelves” in any way. So now I’ve got a project on my hands if I want to recreate that. Same with “date read” - it’s not there and if I go to update the book from the Internet, it adds today’s date as the read date. I get the issue with book images and don’t mind that so much..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Lost My LibraryI really liked this app and used it quite frequently. It should be addressed, however, I recently randomly lost my entire catalogue of saved books, progress, and notes/quotes. Kind of annoying and inconvenient seeing as it was time consuming creating that catalogue. As a user I would not consider paying for a pro version. I’ve deleted the app at the moment because of this and hope to find another more reliable book tracking app..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Very disappointedI bought it from my iPad and saw later that there is no iCloud synchronization with my Mac. I have to buy the Mac application for 13$ if I really want my library on all my devices. The synchronization is done with my iPhone but not on my Mac. I’m very disappointed. I cannot choose more than one author at the same time so it’s useless. The application does not respect the alphabetical order by authors and date of publication..Version: 2.0.7
✓ 5 books and then you pay?You only get to add to up 5 books before you need to put for premium which seems a little ridiculous. The app is a bit of a mess and confusing to look at, needs to be toned down a little and give us a little more wiggle room until you start shoving the premium version down our throats.Version: 2.4.7
✓ Major potentialI was under the impression if I didn't like the app after I purchased the pro version that I could just easily click the button and get my money back, but I didn't, I had to reach out to the App Store myself. For some reason I am under a lot of stress to find a good book app to keep track of my books and I spent like three hours on this app trying to figure out a way to make it so the books I read in a specific year were right. I found it weird that you couldn't change the year that it was read in and it really irritated me that you couldn't put it in the right month or year. It's really frustrating and for six dollars I kind of expected more. However I think that this app has major potential..Version: 2.4.6
✓ No Sync. between devicesOnly able to load 5 books to evaluate the app and having purchase twice to be able sync between iPhone, iPad and mac a total of $37.98..Version: 3.0.17
✓ Have to payYou can only get seven doors without paying not worth it.Version: 3.0.15
✓ Room for improvementDownloaded as it looked like a native apple app and thought it would integrate nicely with other apple apps such as books or reminders etc. do not be fooled by the appearance as it does none of these things. The app is quite slow to search for items and the book covers are nearly always pixelated or the incorrect cover completely which is a real shame. The app also does not seem to support gestures despite being built to look like a native Apple app (looks exactly like Reminders, very cheeky of you Mr. Developer!) so you have to manually X out of every window or pop up, a little annoying given gestures are a basic feature of all smartphones these days, if you are going to build an app to mimic a native one at least make it behave like one. Disappointed that it also promotes Amazon and Google the two sources for purchasing a book, as an iOS app it should surely link to Apple Books? No information on where exactly it has pulled things like rating from, who has rated the book this way and why? Amazon? Google? An average rating from both? Many of my books do not seem to exist in whichever database is being used here, despite all being purchased from the biggest book retailer in the UK so not obscure finds by any means. Beyond this it’s a nice app that’s good for cataloguing your collection but updating progress is quite cumbersome, would be nice if there was a way to sync progress with Apple Books so when you are reading e-books it will update automatically from there. As another user has mentioned, the page numbers do not always add up correctly so the data is often not accurate. Lots of potential but falling short in many places right now..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Tags don’t seem to work wellWas looking for a good book management app and tried a few and liked this one enough to go ahead and pay for it after I seemed to hit a paywall. I have hundreds of books and decided to start with my book club section. I created a tag for my book club books so that I can easily sort them but the tag will not stay on at least half of them which is really frustrating. Hopefully this will be corrected in an update but until then it’s a three star for me..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Lost all my list!!Not reliable!.Version: 2.1.13
✓ Do not get if you aren’t willing to payI recently got this app and I was adding books to my library that I have read in the past and that I am reading now. I added 5 books to my online library and now it won’t let me add anything else unless I buy premium. Overall if you don’t want to pay and you want a book tracker that actually works, look somewhere else..Version: 2.4.7
✓ It’s okay, but a bit cumbersome to useI 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..Version: 2.4.7
✓ UselessI think a trial over having to add five books is better. But I guess that is how they get you. I added some books manually to see what it was like. I did not really get a feel since how much can you really tell with five books. So I purchased the darn thing and then tried to import my csv file and it keeps giving me an error of not being a csv file. Umm, okay. So now I am out $4.99 and still have no app to track my books. Update: I finally got somewhat of a csv file to import. The import pop up says 202 success. Well, I go to the library and only 71 books are there. So where are the other 131 books?.Version: 3.0.7
✓ The app does not import your Apple BooksThere is no way to import my Apple Books into the tracker. I have a large library and I’m not going to manually enter them. Huge miss. The ability to select all would be helpful. When importing from Goodreads, you should be able to determine if the book is there in a series already without having to manually add it. Long press should be able to add a category. Standard categories should already be in here, such as science fiction, fiction, art, history, et cetera Duplicate detection for books that you’ve imported would be a good feature I do enjoy the scan feature!.Version: 3.0.8
✓ Lost progressI like the app, but it’s unusable. I keep losing my data despite it being connected to icloud, I’ve entered my books at least 3 times over which has taken a lot of time, but then I close the app and reopen it and it’s gone. There’s no save button so I know it’s not a me thing… I had high hopes..Version: 2.4.8
✓ Good tool. Scanning is inaccurateI’ve added a bunch of books manually, the barcode scanning does not seem to correctly identify many books..Version: 3.0.15
✓ Too many adsOnly seems to let you add a certain number via scanner before then you have to pay. Also pops up adds for pro version constantly. Just wanted a simple tracker..Version: 2.4.8
✓ Great but needs some improvementsI really like this app! I love how I can sort my books by series and the statistics page is really helpful! However, I do have a few things I don’t like about it. I would like to have the option to list authors by their first name instead of last name. Also when you add a photo to a book it would be easier if the photo automatically resized to the necessary size instead of having me manually do it. It wasn’t easy to align and I think I cropped out part of the photo. Also, editing the book summary was difficult. It kept automatically taking me to the end of the summary even though I wanted to edit the beginning. Eventually I just deleted the whole thing and rewrote it. I still really like the app though and I hope these problems can be fixed!.Version: 1.2.5
✓ I love it but needs IMPROVEMENT 📚📚📚At the bottom was my review from about a year ago, I wrote it then forgot to post it, but after coming back to using the app again, the new layout is different and it doesn’t work. I like to be able to see my books together on the majority of the screen but for some reason the new layout makes it so when you click on a book and it brings up the books details it takes up the whole screen and the bit for scrolling through the books is just small, personally that doesn’t make any sense to me. For some reason it doesn’t go away, even if you haven’t clicked to see a books details, there’s still this massive black space and a small bit that’s split for scrolling through your books or your wish list, I’ve tried everything I can think of to see if there’s something I need to do in my settings but it doesn’t do anything. I also bought new books recently and read some new books and when I tried adding in the details for when I bought them and read them it stays there, but when I click out of it and then go back to it, for some reason it’s changed the details I’ve entered or deleted them completely, maybe it’s just a bug that needs fixing I don’t know but my original review was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but now it’s more like ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Original review : I don’t like paying for apps or games, I don’t see the point, even in app purchases it just seems ridiculous to me. But I saw this app and because of how much I love books and how many I own, I thought I’d give it ago and because of the high reviews/ratings I thought the £3.99 (I think??) price was worth a shot. And omg was it worth every penny, I am able to flick through all the books I have, and all the ones I want and if you’re already reading a book, you can put in what page you’re at and it tells you how far you’re in with a percentage because it’ll also tell you how many pages are in the book, so you can kind of use the app as a bookmark. I’ve lost count of the amount of books I’ve added to my library and I haven’t even logged all of mine because some are in storage, and i can’t even guess at how many I’ve logged in my wish list so I can only assume there’s no limit to how many books you can add. There is one feature I’d like them to add though and that is once you’ve read a book and logged the 100% you can tap to read it again and you can then relogged how far you are in the book and when you click on the book it could tell you how many times you’ve read it, this feature would probably be only useful to people like me who LOVE rereading their favourite books - I understand it’s not for everyone but if you’ll rewatch your favourite movie why not reread your favourite book? :) 📖📚📚📚.Version: 2.2.9
✓ Great app just wish it had a couple more optionsI’m loving the app so far but there are two features that would make it perfect for me. The first is a section on the home page that would allow you to scroll through every series that you have created. Currently the series tab on the home page is limited to 9 that can be selected. I wish there was a series tab similar to library or wishlists that would just take you to all your series. Or at least a show more that expanded the current series tab. Secondly I want there to be a custom order for the books within different series. I’m having trouble trying to put books in my desired reading order other than order by insertion but requires me to be perfect when creating a new tab. However if there’s a prequel to a series I want to add I would have to completely delete the series and create it again to place every book in my desired order. So a feature within the series editing tools that allows me to order the books manually and customizable would be fantastic. Other than that great app I love the challenges and stats features (half the reason I downloaded the app) but wish I could organize and find different series easier..Version: 3.0.14
✓ Unusable without paying for proI wanted to like this, I really did. It looks well designed, and I like that he developer doesn't track usage... but it *constantly* pops up a nag screen to buy the pro upgrade. Every few seconds, "buy pro!" I enter a book to test with: "Buy pro!" I tap on the book to see how it displays: "Buy pro!" I understand the desire to sell the pro version, but this is borderline abusive, and makes it impossible to even try the app to see if I want pro at all..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Go back to the old Barcode ScannerI would give this app 5 starts in my sleep if it weren’t for the new update with the new book barcode scanner. The old version’s scanner was much more user friendly and easier to scan books…the new version is basically unusable. I’ve had to type the ISBN numbers in instead of using the scanner. OTHERWISE, this app has been invaluable in helping me heel track of my current library, my wish list, and track my reading. Excellent work..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Removes dataAfter scanning and adding well over 70 books I was disappointed to see all of my library and wish list removed one day. Very frustrating when you use the app to keep track of books you’re looking for. Additionally, I’ve had issues when saving how many pages I read a day. If you hit “read,” which is really easy to accidentally do, it removes all progress you’ve made on the book. Want to see how many pages you read a day? Too bad, one misclick ruins all of that. It’s a good start but need a lot of work and doesn’t seem to have that being added. Better off sticking to your notes app for wish lists and read books..Version: 2.4.8
