What Users Are Saying

I like bookerly better. paying 30 for feature that others offter for free is ridiculously. but it pairs with goodreads. it is also not that easy to navigate. and it’s it doesn’t sync well. I expect much much more for the moneu I spent.

I think I may like this app more than Goodreads but I cannot import my Goodreads info without paying. I want to see what it will look like with Goodreads info downloaded and how it will work from there before I pay the monthly fee. I wish there was a short trial offered.

This is one of the most annoying apps I’ve ever used, not even for book tracking, I mean in general. Whenever you finish a book and it asks you to write a review? You can’t close the page, whether or not you write the review. The only thing you can do is close the app and open it again to be able to...

This app only works if you buy the Pro version. It’s super annoying until you buy it. Doesn’t do the stuff that it advertised.
