Basmo.Reading Tracker,Book Log for Negative User Reviews
✓ ReviewThis app seem to be really great, and it motivated me to want to keep reading. But after seven days you have to pay for it, which I think was not the best so I deleted the app and found something else. there’s also portions of the app that you have to pay for as a membership which I thought when I download the app that I could not use but then it required me to pay to keep track of my reading after a week..Version: 2.8.45
✓ Very expensiveFor what it does this app is far to expensive. Not worth the money at all unfortunately as the concept is good.Version: 2.8.18
✓ As all apps - so expensiveWhen I think of what I pay Netflix every month and for what I get it from them it utterly dismays me that apps are like half that price. Day light robbery. Monthly should be £1 or £10 annually. They’ll end up getting more money..Version: 2.8.25
✓ MehPretty much overpriced for what it can do. Which is not much more than what I could do in the free notes app on my iPhone.Version: 2.8.54
✓ TMIIf you want a simple way to use app to track your reading this is not it. I gave up before it asked for the Middle names of my Great Grand parents. I just wanted to see what the app could do for me and it was way too nosey about my life..Version: 2.8.28
✓ SneakyYou need to subscribe you actually use the app..Version: 2.8.22
✓ Major glitch- not worth itThe app is entirely too expensive for what it is- feels like a huge ripoff. Currently, the main page, which tells you how many minutes to read daily to hit your annual goals, does not work. No matter what time of year it is, the minutes read calculation estimates how much you would need to read daily to reach your current goal IF you started on Jan first. This is the primary reason I purchased the app, to have a better way to track my annual reading goals. I reached out to the developers and they don’t seemed too concerned about the issue. Unless there is a major update to this app, it’s simply not sophisticated enough to do what it claims..Version: 2.8.40
✓ Unable to unsubscribeI’ve tried multiple ways to unsubscribe from this app and nothing looks like it worked..Version: 2.8.36
✓ Keep LookingI tested this app out for the last 2.5 months and my final thoughts are: keep looking. It does all 3 basics fairly well: timing your reads, organizing your journal entries, and showing you some basic stats (how many pages per hour page you’re reading at, how long was your longest reading session, etc.). It has several annoying flaws that ultimately just killed it for me, not to mention the pricey subscription fee for what you’re really getting. 1) It rounds up your reading times!! It does not save down to the last minute and second you actually read, but will round to the nearest whole number and on occasion, the nearest even number. 2) The pause feature was so nice until I realized if you pause it for over ten minutes then end your reading session, it sometimes adds the entire pause time to your reading time! Hope you remembered what your actual reading time was before you paused! 2.a. You can’t pause the timer when you add journal entries or record quotes. So it counts it towards your reading speed. 2.b. Your projected reading time for a book per day until the target finish date fluctuates based on your last reading speed recorded. 3) The app will push you to post your stats or a quote on social media until the end of time. No way to turn this off. I paid the 20 bucks for the app to use for myself, AS ADVERTISED TO ME, not so I could constantly advertise it on social media for the app developers can make more money off me. 3.a. The integration to other platforms is non-existent besides being able to post things on popular social media platforms like insta and Facebook. Why is this app so expensive?? 4) Lastly, the constantly glitching stat features. They don’t update consistently, some of the stat page features crash the app, and they are weird stats that compare your reading to other people. I really don’t know what adds other people saw for this app, but the ones targeted to me gave me the impression this app was for individual use and reading growth..Version: 2.8.45
✓ Overall an okay appSo far I have really enjoyed using this app. It is a fun and easy way to track your reading and gives you different statistics. My only complaint is the note taking section. I have often had to go back through the notes I took and re-edit the formatting because it never saves. For example, I am constantly fixing the highlighted part of one of my notes. The is only two lines in the passage I saved from the book that I want highlighted but every time I open my notes the whole passage is highlighted. Another example is the bold text feature. I use bold text for quotes from the book and regular text for my personal notes. I often have to go and reselect lines and change them back to bold because the bold text will only save for half of what I wrote..Version: 2.7.6
✓ This is crapI didn’t even get to use the app or test it out before they ask for my money. I wanted this app to help me remember want I read and get me to my reading goal. I thought this app would help me but they really just want my money!!! I don’t recommend!.Version: 2.8.32
✓ No Free VersionDisappointed with the free version of the app, which is essentially nonexistent. The app prompts you to pay for a plan, but allows you to continue using their supposedly free version. I was enjoying the “free” features, but after a few days of use, I wasn’t even allowed to start a reading session. This is a shame, as I’ve taken extensive notes on vocabulary and passages within the app which are now essentially useless considering I won’t be continuing to use it..Version: 2.8.32
✓ They chargeCharges apply.Version: 2.8.26
✓ Upgraded to proI upgraded to the pro version but now every time I end a reading session or finish a book I receive an annoying notification to share my progress or reading goals. Super annoying that there is no setting to turn that notification off..Version: 2.7.7
✓ Dishonest bait and switchI didn’t do a free trial and for a whole week the sessions were still unlimited. Now it’s requiring me to do a free trial and pay for a month to have what I had for entirely free a week ago. What a dishonest bait and switch. Very disappointing. Why do I have to give you money for unlimited sessions? Very lame..Version: 2.8.29
✓ Premium doesn’t workIt says I have premium as I just got it yesterday but it still tells me to upgrade. Fix it or I’m deleting the app. Waste of money..Version: 2.8.15
✓ Don’t want to upgrade to proAfter having this app for about a month (the free version) it stopped letting my add books and make changes to the book I am readying and books I want to read. When I try and do this, a page comes up asking if I want to upgrade to pro. I am not interested in pro at this time and it’s not letting me use it without upgrading. Is there not a free version? Help..Version: 2.6
✓ Only has subscriptionThere’s no free version. All I want to do is track my reading without the tacky, extra stuff. I can do it on my own on paper..Version: 2.8.39
✓ Great app but disappointed with free accessI really loved this app when I first downloaded it, but now I’m forced to find another reading app. I’ve come across Bookly, so will try that instead. Basmo’s free version says that you can only have two reading sessions a day which is fine but now it’s not allowing me to have a free reading session unless I sign up to a free trial, which will then go on to charge £8.99 a month. I don’t like the fact that this is not made clear from the beginning, if I knew from the start that this was going to happen then I wouldn’t have downloaded it in the first place. If you say something is part of a free subscription then you should keep it that way and stick to your word..Version: 2.8.31
✓ Blatant copyI was excited to try this app, but it turned out to be just a worst copy of another book tracker i’m using. Don’t waste your time with this one..Version: 2.8.28
✓ No enough booksI'm not happy.Version: 2.8.57
✓ Love the conceptI love the concept to be able to track, but I don’t like that you cannot add books that were tread in previous years to be able to compare..Version: 2.8.0
✓ Have to payThere’s no longer a free version just today I went to start reading my book and it won’t allow me to put in any time or adjust anything with my book without paying 7.99 EIGHT DOLLARS for me to track my book time and pages what a joke how ridiculous I really loved this app but it seems like now they’re just trying to get a quick cash grab out of everyone screams capitalism for sure.Version: 2.8.39
✓ ExpensiveAn extremely expensive subscription for what it is 🤷♀️.Version: 2.8.25
✓ Stuck in a loopHi, I’ve tried to find a way to contact you on your website and I can’t find it. I recently purchased the yearly plan but now I’m stuck in an infinite loop of do you want to read more? What is your name? It loops back again and again despite deleting and redownloading the app. The app has no functionality and I can’t escape the loop. Are there any fixes for this?.Version: 2.8.48
✓ Good app but not workingSo I actually love this app, I use it almost everyday to sort and organize what books I have read / want to read. But for a while now every time I open the app it makes me go through the whole “build a personal plan” thing. It’s incredibly annoying to have to go through this ever time I open it and makes me want to delete the app and find a new one. Please fix this.Version: 2.8.9
✓ I had high hopes :(I really liked the premise of this app!! As someone who loves a good tracking app AND reading this was my cup of tea. But the amount of stuff you can do without upgrading to premium is close to none. And paying close to 100$ a year for an app? Absolutely not. Everything in the app revolves around the fact that you haven’t signed up for premium and it’s disappointing. Giving it 2 stars because it could be really good! If it was free for all that is..Version: 2.8.30
✓ Tied to tracker which is annoying.I read and finished my book without using the tracker every time and now I can’t move it to finished unless I “run the tracker” to trick it into believing that I finished it. I would like to be able to click a button to mark a book as finished..Version: 2.8.46
✓ I need helpWhen im trying to set it up the question"how do you feel when you think of reading" comes up and i have no clue what to do after a i press an emotion since nothing comes up for me to go to the next step.Version: 2.8.27
✓ A required reading contract?I just downloaded this, and that it sets up a required contract with yourself is such a turnoff. I enjoy reading. Having a forced contract make this feels like a formal chore that’s based on quantity rather than quality, and it takes the enjoyment out of just reading. I don’t need a contract; I just want to track my reading, write notes about books, and keep a to-read list. Good heavens, why make it a chore to do?.Version: 2.8.57
✓ ???It doesn’t let me set a goal for 2021 and when I click on the goals tab the app crashes. And I have no clue what the in-app purchases are..Version: 2.0
✓ SMH 0 starsThe app asks me if I want to sign up for premium I say no then it’s like we get it that’s a big commitment it then asks me a couple of questions and won’t let me move forward it has a screen telling me to upgrade to premium..Version: 2.8.28
✓ Don’t downloadApp lures you in, and eventually it’s forces you to buy subscription to use the minimal features, what a joke of an app.Version: 2.8.28
✓ I HATE needing subscriptions!!!The app was excellent until i found out you had to pay (or wait) for reading sessions. this app had so much potential to grow but i will no longer be using the app since the update..Version: 2.8.15
✓ ConfusedI’m a little bit confused on how to submit how i feel about thinking on reading, i’m pressing exited but it won’t let me do anything else..Version: 2.8.24
✓ GlitchesNew to Basmo. It never gave me the free trial. Had I known I would have perhaps waited. I find the app to be very glitchy from syncing to Kindle (keeps adding books over and over - had to turn the feature off), it also does not save a lot of information added manually (such as adding where book was borrowed from or who lent it out to). I had high hopes..Version: 2.8.57
✓ 😩Not user friendly and confusing. It’s needs an accompanying tutorial..Version: 2.8.57
✓ Paying member and have not been able to use the appI have subscribed to a membership and have been unable to open the app for the last two days because it just crashes immediately.Version: 2.8.31
✓ Not goodThey want you to pay 60/year for a diary app basically. You don’t even get to read anything. They force you to pay as soon as they can. Waste..Version: 2.8.28
✓ Free is not free, missleadingI couldn’t even start the app without being forced to “try” the premium service. Users should have to sign up and then opt out of a trial to get free content..Version: 2.8.32
✓ All over the placeNothing intuitive about flow or logic of use, Messages provide little or no guidance - in fact some hinder efforts, Tries to sell me a book I’m already reading, Won’t allow me to be reading two books at the same time, ....Version: 2.8.0
✓ Not user friendlyAll it does is pester you to subscribe. It’s not user friendly. I’ve tried multiple times to use the kindle sync button, but it just keeps re-adding a book I’ve finished as if it’s a current book. It won’t import any of my other kindle books. Why would I pay for a subscription for an app that’s janky & doesn’t do what I want or need?!.Version: 2.8.57
✓ There’s a Bug BUGWhen I try to open the “Goals” section of the app it crashes and the app closes. 🤦🏽♂️ It’s so annoying, the first few hours of use were fine, but now it just doesn’t work, such an expensive app just to not work 🤦🏽♂️ FIX IT or I’ll ask for a refund..Version: 2.8.44
✓ Useless, simply uselessYou can ONLY use the summaries they present, which is extremely limited. I linked my Kindle account which frankly is USELESS. It just keeps saying Kindle Syncing in process and doesn’t access a SINGLE book. What a complete waste of my time this has been..Version: 2.8.57
✓ No instructionsCan't make it read. Does it even do that? I will subscribe of items will read kindle books. Cancel if it won't other I don't get instructions..Version: 2.8.57
✓ Will rate higher ifThis year I started listening to Audio books this month and the timer doesn’t do more than 10 hours. Some of my audio books are up to 24hrs, I want to be able to accurately track. If it’s updated to add as many hours as needed this rating will change to a 5 star..Version: 2.8.57
✓ I don’t want to upgrade to pro!!!Everytime i try to start a new session, i get a message asking if i want to upgrade to pro. no matter how many times i try clicking the x or pressing “maybe later”, i’m not able to add any books, or start a new session..Version: 2.5
✓ Good at the startIt used to be sooooo good when i had it for maybe the first year or however long ive had it, but more recently it wont let me add a new session and will only let me do a free daily read even though i only use the app once or twice a week so dont need it but it wont give me any other option, im going to keep the app and see if it changes but currently looking for a new app which i am incredibly upset to have to do..Version: 2.8.27
✓ Many glitchesSays you can share with friends. Sent the link back and forth and it took us no where. Very basic. Not a lot of books on the app. Have to add them all manually..Version: 2.8.45
