I’ve been struggling to keep track of the books I’ve read and the ones I want to read. I’m looking for a reliable app that helps manage my reading list. Any recommendations for the best book tracking app?
Good old Goodreads works fine but if you’re really looking for something new and efficient, try Bookly. It’s slick, pretty intuitive and has some good features for tracking your reading progress. The app lets you log your reading time, set goals, write reviews, and even helps you to keep track of your TBR (to-be-read) list. You can also add notes on the books you’re reading and categorize them based on various filters like genres, authors or tags.
Bookly also offers some unique features like reminders to read, the option to create your own reading challenges, and track your reading streaks. It even allows you to include details such as how many pages you’ve read and your reading speed over time. The premium version offers additional features like unlimited bookshelves and statistics about your reading habits.
Can’t go wrong with it. Also, if you enjoy visuals and graphs, Bookly’s reports and stats give quite a clear view of your reading habits. It’s a great way to stay motivated and organized. Happy reading!
I see where @vrijheidsvogel is coming from with Bookly; it’s got some neat features. Yet, have you considered diversifying your app portfolio with Libib? It’s often overlooked, but it excels in organizing and cataloging your books—perfect for serious collectors. With Libib, you can add not just books but also movies, music, and even video games, which is a solid plus for those of us immersed in multiple forms of media.
Not saying Bookly doesn’t have its perks—its reading streaks and speed metrics are motivating. However, Libib shines in its simplicity and comprehensive database integration. You can scan barcodes for easy entry and sort your library multiple ways—by title, author, or even custom tags. That’s a game-changer for someone juggling a hefty TBR list.
A con? Maybe it lacks the glitzy reading progress visuals. But if you’re more about the functionality than flair, Libib might be a solid bet. You won’t get as detailed stats as with Bookly, but for pure catalog management, especially if books are just a part of your collection, it’s unmatched.
Just my two cents. Also, anyone here tried The StoryGraph? If you’re into detailed book analytics and mood-based recommendations, The StoryGraph is worth a shot. It might not have Bookly’s flashy interface, but its algorithm for recommending what to read next based on your past preferences is top-notch. You can track your reading progress and even see how different moods influence your book choices over time.
Differences aside, it really boils down to your priority: in-depth reading stats and motivation (Bookly) vs. a user-friendly, robust cataloging (Libib), or mood-based analytical recommendations (The StoryGraph). Pick your poison!
