Booka - Minimal Booklist

This app was everything I wanted and it isn’t even that expensive. The only saddening thing is that every time I try to upload my own cover for one of the books (say to match which version I have even though it’s not originally on there) there is a glitch. If I upload one cover, it’ll change all the other covers that I already uploaded to that same picture. So for example, if I upload a cover for shatter me. And then try to upload a cover for Percy Jackson, the Percy Jackson cover will show up for both Percy Jackson and shatter me. I really hope this bug can be fixed because I already bought one year of subscription without realizing.

This is actually the best thing ever. I show this to everyone. I’m going through a breakup and having a rough time but I always feel happy when I think about finally finding this app. This simple app is exactly the way I as a reader want to relate to books. I hope to one day feel that way about my relationship

This has a nice clean, minimalist design but it’s missing an important feature. You cannot sort the books within their categories. I want them to appear in an alphabetical format, but they only show up in the order in which I entered them. There’s no option to sort alphabetically like there is on the homepage. There’s also no option to search for books within a particular category. I tried emailing the developer but no changes have been made. If books could be sorted alphabetically and we could search within the categories, I would gladly pay for the premium version. But because we can’t, I’m searching for a new app. I give it three stars for beautiful, minimalistic design but just wish it had better functionality.

Switched over from Goodreads to Booka. It’s simple and easy to use. Love how organized and aesthetically pleasing it is.

I don’t like Goodreads and wanted another app to keep track of my reading. I downloaded way too many to finally find this one. This app is exactly what I wanted! Easy to use, no annoying ads, and doesn’t have the noise of a community. Thank you to the developer!

Edit: I’ve since realized that technically yes, you can keep scrolling back on the date and get to past years. But I stand by my complaint because this isn’t practical or user friendly at all. I still think we need to be able to just click and manually edit the dates if need be! This app is beautiful and exactly what I needed both in organization and aesthetic. I adore it. There is one thing keeping me from paying for pro and using it as my main book app… I can’t edit reading dates. Oh, you “can”, but not the year! This means I can’t backlog and of my previously read books… even something I read six months ago, because that was 2021 and editing reading history only allows you to change the month, day and…. TIME? This is a huge oversight for any reader who loves tracking and that’s the point of apps like these right? Please, please fix this and you will have my money and support! Everything else is wonderful.
