Reading Tracker, Planner - RLT

Hope to support the import of csv files exported from the software calibre ebook management, and the corresponding title, author, tag, isbn, formats, comments publisher and other corresponding information can be imported. The relevant information of imported or manually entered books is incomplete. Whether the function can be added is to update the book Metadata information in the RLT in batches online.

This app is great. I used to keep track of books by typing them in Notes- now they’re all in this app, with a pic of the book. There are minor snafus like when I looked up a translated Russian novel; the app couldn’t find the translation but found the original Russian. That’s OK. I just need to keep track that I read the book. Also getting the ISBN number through the app is hit or miss but you can input it manually and look it up online so I really appreciate this app. If you are a reader, this is a big help.

Previously I was using Bookwise. However, this app has some features Bookwise doesn’t. It allows you to create custom collections of books, and easily add notes. The book details are much more full featured and I love being able to look at collections. Also - the developer is super responsive. I let him know I wanted to be able to add books that I had finished - and set a completion date. He added the feature!!!!! This is my new go to reading tracker.

The search algorithm is dreadful. I'm trying to transfer my Amazon Kindle purchases. I can’t scan an ISBN, so I’m copying and pasting, but it can't find about half of the books. I have a lot of Joyce Carol Oates’s books, so entering the author’s name should bring them up. You’d think so, but nope. My results are *about* Joyce Carol Oates. I got the same useless results for Neil Gaiman and Sigid Undstet. A reasonable search would show their novels, and here’s a thought - give me related suggestions! What reader isn't always looking for something else to read‽ A reminder to read is absurd. I don't know anyone who needs to be reminded. Everyone I know is more likely to need a reminder to stop reading. When I wake up in the morning, I immediately want to return to my Kindle or the news. If you want this to be useful for heavy readers, you’ve got to make it easier to enter the data, and there needs to be a reason to use it, like generating suggestions. Otherwise, I can just screenshot my Amazon purchases and shopping list.

I really like all of the features this tracking app offers. A couple of things would make it even better. When adding a new book using barcode scan, some fields may not be picked up from the scan. It would be helpful to highlight the required fields, e.g., Author, before Save button could be turned on. Also, being able to sync across devices would be a great addition. Overall, a clean and crisp tracking app for reading. 👍

I just used this app for the first time: I did a search for a book I’m reading, brought it up and it wouldn’t allow me to add it unless I entered the amount of pages the book was. This is a required field. What if I used an ebook and the amount of pages always varies? In fact, Im listening to an audio book version and there are ZERO pages. Bad first impression.

This app has the right ideas, but the data needs to sync.

Thanks again. Hope you guys keep working hard to make it better. With Kindest Regards-BR

Having used goodreads for years and compared various other apps, this is the most polished app I’ve seen. I hope it will continue to find ways to add a social element and syncing with existing popular services.

This app is fantastic. It allows you to track every book you read, offers online book ratings, and lets you take notes. Additionally, it provides access to a vast number of books online.
