Yearly Goal

The Yearly Goal problem is back again. Ive read six books so far but only one was counted.

Just What I Was Looking For

Nicely done, simple to use and a must for people with books!

Manual entry a drag

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.

Great, but missing Kindle-like percent read input option

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.

Why?!

No languages for book name input but English.

Thank you!

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.

Helpful if Not Simple App

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.

Frustrated

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.

Great Idea, Needs Work

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.

Nothing New

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.

A bit buggy

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

Absolutely Wonderful!

Ive been using this app for almost a month now and it has proved to be extremely motivating! The interface is clean and easy to use, all features work smoothly, and its super helpful with keeping track of your reading progress and pushing you further. I definitely recommend! 10/10

Love it!

Great app with simple, but beautiful UI. Easier to track books than Goodreads, with the added bonus of fun little achievements to unlock. Im a sucker for achievement awards

Goals, yes. Daily tracking? No.

Its a decent app for if you want to set up a goal and earn achievements and trophies. Wish it was better at tracking how many pages you have read per day, not just giving me an average overall. I want to catalog my reading pace but I cannot do so.

Needs bugs fixed

Im enjoying this app and its definitely gotten me in the habit of reading. However, the Yearly Goal doesnt update when you complete a book, which is frustrating. I paid money for this app and it doesnt work properly... I hope its fixed soon.

NEEDS FIXING

while this app is great for inspiring people to read more frequently, it is also extremely frustrating! the yearly goal will often not update and I have had to reset the app and start over, which is extremely aggravating and also causes the information to be incorrect. I hate the fact that I have to lose all of my progress just because the app has a few bugs.

Very limited in functionality, but a good start.

I love the concept of this app and I can’t wait to see where it goes. My main problem with the app now is that it can only mark progress with pages. I listen to a lot of audio books and would love for a way to track by chapters or hours. It would also be nice to set not just yearly goals, but daily, weekly or even monthly goals. I don’t understand the date box when adding a book and hopefully one day you’ll be able to search for books or have them recommended. Maybe even provide suggested reading lists or even integrate with amazon to purchase ebooks/audio books. Now that would be amazing. I really love the design and the simplicity of the app. Please don’t stop working on this!

Interesting idea...

...but the execution is slightly flawed. I like that the developer has logic built into the app to effectively state, "nope you cant have a book thats a single page." Sure thats neat, but I suppose I would have an expectation that this app would be able to look up books on Amazon and auto populate lengths of a novel. Realizing that different prints of a book have slightly different page counts it would at least put something in the right ball park.

Almost perfect

An excellent app. - let u follow your progress in reading in avery nice motivational way. The only issue that when I used the app at the beginning I can change the input language, but recently I couldnt. I have sent several emails but with no response. I hop this problem will fix soon.

My books are gone?...

First my yearly goal didnt work, so the roughly ten books I read during that time didnt count, and now my entire app has reset. All my books, goals and achievements are gone.
