And being able to customize my lists and easily sort the books in them is huge also.As a trusted and safe online educational resource, enjoyed by educators, children and families around the world, Story Box Library connects you to a world of stories. I would rather have simplicity and organization than an abundance of recommendations and reviews so this app is perfect for me! Its design is simple and clean-it makes finding books and making lists so incredibly easy! I love the feature of being able to scan the barcode to find books, especially if you have a special edition of a book you want to add. I love the simplicity of the app, whereas I find Goodreads to be kind of visually cluttered if that makes sense. Love this app so much!! I do have Goodreads and I keep it so I can see my friends books and they can see mine, but other than that I only use Reading List. (Tipping is under the in app settings menu.)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this app and tipping the developer if you like the app since it’s completely free to use. (Have to add book to Reading list first, then scroll to bottom of book description page to Manage Lists.) LOVE that I can have a book on multiple lists! In addition to categories & book club lists, I like to have lists that tell me whether the book is in Kindle, iBooks, physical etc so I can find the book if I want to re-read it.

I love that I finally have a very nice non-social book tracker! Not all features are intuitive to figure out but there is a help menu that helped me figure out for example, how to add a book to a shelf. Not sure why book reading always has to be a social event, tied to social media, when it’s a mostly solitary endeavor.

I was immediately impressed w this simple book tracker and how easy it is to look up books by barcode or title, author etc and add it to custom shelves, track your reading, add a rating. I love this app! I do use Goodreads to track books but I wanted someplace non-social to track the spiritual books I read since people seem to be so judgy these days no matter what faith or eclectic spirituality you espouse. It certainly helped my disorganized collection of books. I hope this review though long, helps this young developer’s dream.

In a world where service and help is no longer a courtesy but is usually rendered by ever infuriating automation, it was nice to see the actual human interface of this app, caring for his product. And he is responsive on Twitter to followers of the app. The developer, Andrew, actually replied to my app user feedback email. Reading List was one of my final and now is my only reading list/biblio type app. After several tries, I kept two, because yeah I like having a backup plan. So you can understand why when I began cataloging my personal library to a digital format, I downloaded 3 or four free apps to test to see which would best suit my long term needs. I’ve spent many a dollar on paper mementos from bygone eras & yet more times than not, I’m literally lost in a bookstore wondering “Do I have this edition? Do I have it in paperback, hardcover, signed, limited edition?” And yes I’ve bought multiple copies of many (my local library loves to see me donate). I was searching for a digital way to store my ever evolving tbr list, while compiling lists of books that I have collected (lovingly & haphazardly) for 30 years. I started using Reading List maybe 6 months ago. The app remains fully-featured when used without Reading List Pro. Some premium features require Reading List Pro, which can be purchased in the app. All data is private, stored on-device or in your iCloud account.Add your own rating and notes to each book.Record the current page of books you're reading.Create your own custom lists, like 'Wishlist', 'Favourites', etc.Order the books, to help plan what to read next.Quickly log the dates you start and finish each book with a tap or swipe.Sync your data between all devices via iCloud.Alternatively, add a book manually by typing in its details.Scan the barcode of a book to quickly add it to your list.Record your progress by adding the start and finish date of your books.
