Brings order and makes it fun

Translated from German

It helps you keep track of your stack of books while seeing which books you have read and how many you have finished.

So far, this is a really good app. It is clear and intuitive. I would love it if a few features, such as sorting, were available without Premium. There are no ads, though, which is great.

Makes my reading life much easier

Translated from German

I have been using BookTamer for a while, and I finally have one place to keep track of all my books, whether I have read them, plan to read them, or am in the middle of them. I especially like how clear everything is and that adding an entry does not take much searching. I also find it helpful that I can add notes to individual books or mark passages I want to revisit. It feels almost like a digital reading journal. It is also fun to see my reading progress and my small digital library grow. In short, BookTamer takes away the chaos and gives me more room to enjoy reading. It is worth a look for any book lover.

Great app. It gives you a clear view of your unread books. You can add and rate books you have finished, and then see plenty of interesting statistics about them. The app also makes working through your stack of unread books more enjoyable. One small improvement I would like is a wishlist for books I want to get.

As relaxed as a journal

Translated from German

Reading without pressure. Reviews with feeling. I read because I love what stories do to me. Without time pressure. Without counting every page. Without feeling that I have to do anything. I simply read when it feels right and write when the words come.

I simply love this app. It is exactly what I had been looking for. I can manage my TBR, keep a reading journal, and see statistics. Most importantly, audiobooks are supported too. I can share a nicely designed summary of my reading month. I have used the app for several months now and am very happy with it.

Overall, I think the app is excellent and easy to use, but two things really bother me. First, books found with the scanner often have no cover, so I have to add one manually. Second, a search function in the reading journal would be very useful. I would like to see at a glance whether I have already read a particular book. A warning when I add a book I have already finished to my TBR would also help.

I think the app is great and would like to use it on my new phone too. Is there a guide for transferring my data? Thank you and best wishes.

I am a big fan of this app because it is free and still very useful for managing my TBR. I do have a few problems: many books are missing, and page counts are not always shown, which makes tracking difficult. Overall, though, I would definitely recommend the app.

Beautiful app

Translated from German

I downloaded this app to get a clear overview of the books I have and have not read. The interface is simple and easy to use, and with only a few exceptions, the books I look for are available. After using it for a while, I bought the Pro version so I could scan books. Unfortunately, the scanner closes as soon as I open it, which is a shame. I hope this gets fixed soon. It would also be great to have an option to add books manually in the future. Keep up the good work!

Great app for organizing books and keeping a kind of journal for each one. I also really appreciate how quickly problems are fixed and questions are answered. Keep it up!

Great for managing my TBR and keeping a reading journal

Translated from German

The app is very intuitive and includes plenty of features in the free version, with even more in Premium. I especially like how easy it is to add new books and how the app looks. A must-have for anyone who loves reading and books.

I like the app, but the Premium subscription does not work for me. Even after activating it, I cannot use Premium, which is a shame. Thanks for the reply, but it still does not work. Restoring purchases only sends me back to the subscription page. It is really frustrating because I loved the free version and would have liked to use Premium.

I just bought the Premium version. The payment went through, but I did not receive Premium. Update: It works now. Thank you for fixing the problem so quickly. πŸ‘

Great app. The frequent updates keep making it easier and nicer to use. Support is helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Translated from German

I love this app. It is great for managing my TBR, especially because I switch between an e-reader and physical books. Everything is in one place. I also like choosing a Book of the Month, rating individual categories, writing a review, and seeing my reading stats. I am glad my feedback was heard. Thank you, Felix and Cynthia.

Brilliant!

Translated from German

At first I was skeptical about whether I really needed an app like this, but now I love it. The confetti when I finish a book makes me smile every time. There are still a few small things that could be improved, but this is only the beginning. I am looking forward to discovering more books and adding them to my journal. Keep it up, and compliments to the two people behind the idea. πŸ‘

Small but genuinely clever and practical app. I finally have an overview of all my unread books instead of two piles marked "read" and "unread" on the shelf.

Translated from German

A good app that brings some order to the apparent chaos.
