Bookjournal.app

Great app but has recently refused to open since the update.

I saw an ad for this app and was very excited. This has the potential to be an app I use daily, but there is a major flaw. The ability to import from Goodreads is great, but unfortunately doesn’t work well. I had one title added 6 times during import and not one was the correct version. Adding manually is tedious for those of us who read a lot and want to start off by importing our current lists. No where isn’t the app does it tell you the app name either. Also, can we please have half star options for ratings! This app could’ve used more iteration before rollout. It’s a great concept and I think could be wildly successful this feature worked better. Sadly, this will drive people away from the app.

A lot of bugs, I hope there's gonna be an update to fix it. But still a great app.

I love this app! It’s pretty new and has room for development but there’s nothing better out there for me. I downloaded 500+ books from Goodreads to start my records. Many books needed swapping as descriptions were absent but I expect the process will be easier as the app matures. Several issues I have figured out workarounds. I’m patient in waiting for fixes. Nothing too frustrating. Free and paid versions are not different enough but have a significant difference in cost. I would subscribe to paid if it was a one time payment or lower yearly cost. The free version is all I really need — I don’t categorize my books like paid version provides. I appreciate being able to see my books on bookshelves divided into several categories — Finished, TBR and Currently Reading. Can also view as a list or book covers. Developer maintains a Wishlist for upcoming changes that can be voted on by app owners. So many good things to say about Bookjournal App!

I imported my books from GoodReads. Most of them came in okay but a few came in as the wrong book. No biggie….I deleted the incorrect book and manually added the correct book. Anytime I exit the app and return the deleted books have reappeared in my collection. I have tried deleting them from each section (finished, reviews, journals, five star reads, etc) and they still reappear in the finished section. Please fix this….it’s quite frustrating.

Love this app! Would like to see audiobooks as a selection so I can track, physical, ebooks or audiobooks

I was really excited to try this. But I downloaded it and tried opening it but it wont open or stay open and then it refuses to work.

Please fix adding books to the journals. It’s not updating or saving. And it seems like when you go into the journal it’s not showing correctly or merging well. This app could be amazing once you add and fix a few things. Like for sure adding friends & integrating our good reads list not having to add one by one again.

I love the look of this app and the functions, but I have a big issue with the pricing of the premium functions. As a free user, you can have three journals with fifty MAX book entries. Otherwise, you can spend $5 a month to have unlimited. There's not too many other premium features, so that's a steep price to be able to list more than 50 books in your journals. I'd rather use GoodReads. It's similar and free.

I have been following book journal on tik for a while but never bought it because I’m a digital girl so I was very excited to see this app. It’s definitely a work in progress but my favorite thing about this is the wish section. You can write down a wish you want for this app and up vote other people’s wishes and the creator takes them into account when updating the app. You can even see which wishes/features have been added because of it. I’m very excited to see where this app goes because I feel like it will be the perfect book logging app
