i use good reads and a free excel sheet template that i found online. i think the gr app works just fine (at least to my needs) and in the sheet i can track things like genre, was it a translation, how much money ive spent etc. ive tried to use storygraph but i dont like how the app or site works and looks so im just giving up on it
I love good reads as well, the only issue i have with it is it looks like its stuck in the most oldest century ever. It works for me though, i just wish it had a little bit more color per say.
I’m a pretty easy reader & tbr-bookshelf is just so cute & visually pleasing to me & I just looked for an app that allowed me to track the books I read so I have a yearly overview, so that’s definitely my fave. But I can definitely understand people, who need more stats & add read pages or track their progress & want some kind of community. I’m just here for the overview & the cute looks haha.
Oh I get that… for me tags are pretty important since I need to categorize the books for future videos or recommendations when people ask me for a certain trope…☺️
I'm actually using Reading List right now! I really like it so far but doesn't hurt to see what else is out there. Thanks for doing videos on this. I'm excited to find out what app you picked as your perfect reading tracker (in the next video lol).
The free version is honestly all you need. You get access to everything besides some theme colors and a timeline of a book you read. For statistics it will ask you to either go premium or watch a 30s ad, and while sometimes you will get ads they don't really pop up that often. Sometimes if you are updating a book one might show up, but they get done so quickly it's easy to ignore, or at least for me. Other features: If you can't find the book you are reading you can add it with a simple tap, don't have to fill out a request form like other apps. Take a picture of the cover, or import it from the web, add the ISBN, publisher, author - what type of book are you reading: paper book, e-book, audio-book - how do you want to display the page/progress, page #, percentage, episode - add the total number of pages. You can put notes while you're reading if say you find yourself unable to read the book, you can leave a note with a summary of what you read last time as a review. You can put books on pause if you're a mood reader, you can also DNF or 'give up' as that's what it's called on Bookmory. I've used it for 3 months now and love it! Also, the timer doesn't start when you open the book, you can choose to start it, or add in whatever time you kept track of for your book. There is also a book calendar that you can set up to show the book/books you read that day and it will show up there, and if you don't read on a day it will be blank.
What I learned about Bookmory is the restore/backup doesn’t update/save across different devices. I started tracking on my iPhone then switched to iPad and mistakingly found out the hard way..😢

9:46 that feature is SO COOL
Right… I love it. And it’s not even hard☺️😂
bookmory my beloved, the UI is scrumptious (I want it to have widgets so baaaad)
Yeah that would be so good😭☺️
I use reading list! And recently started using Story Graph

Hope you enjoy it! But as long as you have found an app that works for you that is all I could wish for💕
This video was super helpful!
I'm so glad!🥰

BookMory sounds perfect. But is there a free version or is it purely subscription based?
The free version is honestly all you need. You get access to everything besides some theme colors and a timeline of a book you read.

I use Goodreads and bookly. I liked beanstack.
How do you use beanstack because for me it was more like a book club that a tracking app☺️
@@Vivslittlelibrary i don’t use it yet. I liked what you talked about it.
thank you for this video, it was really helpful :)
So glad you liked it💕
Beanstack is good for children and for completing reading challenges with your local library.
Yeah that is kind of what I figured ☺️
Bookmory is just perfect 🙌 I'm really loving it❤️...Thankss!!!
Glad you like it🥰☺️
@@Vivslittlelibrary where you buy your books from digital form? what's Thalia?
@@trishameloling2367 My digital books are always from Amazon. But only when they are on sale. And Thalia is a German bookstore chain. 💕
A fellow reader from Germany 🙋🏻♂ What bookstores in Germany do you recommend to buy English books from? (Apart from Amazon and Thalia)
I have an Osiander close by but honestly the Thalia online store is my best friend…😂
Any book tracker that’s free im there
Sounds about right😂
Please try Read More
I will💕
15:29 I have an app called Book Tracker and it looks nothing like that.
Honestly... maybe there are multiple apps with a similar name... or they changed some stuff...😬
