Bookling - Track Your Reading Habits app good for
I bought this app with the sole purpose to motivate me, visually and otherwise, to read more. So far its doing a good job, but not all of my books on Kindle seem to have a page number associated with it. Some have just a weird location, measured in thousands, or a simple percent-read status. Would appreciate a precentage input option in addition to the current page number.
A very elegant minimalistic designed app with excellent UI. Have been using it for over a month now and its really helped me improve my reading habit. Especially love the achievements which motivate to read more. What I love most is the simplicity and personalisation the app offers. Excellent and would definitely recommend it.
I saw this app on a Buzzfeed list and decided to give it a try. While some areas are lacking (An author, any way to add a note, etc.), overall its an incredibly useful app that lets me keep track of my reading and focus on reading more consistently. For what it does, a pretty good app that Id reccomend to another reader.
Some bad moments
The Yearly Goal problem is back again. Ive read six books so far but only one was counted.
You have to enter everything manually, from book title to total number of pages. You might as well write it down in a journal. Nothing is automatic, which puts this app at a huge disadvantage to Goodreads.
I used the app for about four months and loved it - was great for pacing novel readings for class. However, I checked it this morning to see that it had reset itself and lost all my records. I had put almost twenty books on here and now have no record of what Ive read this year. Will be deleting the app as it is no use to me if I cant rely on it to save the books Ive read.
I really like the concept of this app and it is great to use for tracking page progress in individual books. However, the yearly goal feature doesnt seem to work. When I finish a book, it still says I have read 0 books. That feature is a fantastic idea and the main reason I downloaded the app, so I hope an update that fixes this issue is forthcoming.
This is has the potential to be good, but it doesnt offer enough to be worth even spending a dollar. Theres nothing this app can do that Goodreads isnt already doing much better. Hope improvements, like a database of books you can choose from and the ability to add and remove books from your book history are implemented soon.
Not bad - needs an update for tracking your total book goal. Also, would be nice to have the books in a database versus manually entering pages, etc
