| 2025-02-03 |  | | Love this app! Bookly helps me track my reading, sends me a reminder to read every night, and shows me cute little infographics for each book that I read. While I'd live to be a person that could bullet joyrnal all of this information, ADHD makes it next to impossible for me. Bookly is the perfect app to meet my needs, and even has the opportunity to reflect on each reading session! |
| 2025-01-28 |  | | INSANE price. You only get to log 11 books for free (including books you already read), and after that they want either a pricey subscription...or a one-time payment of $150!! Even $50 would be overpriced, but at least worth considering. $150 is truly outlandish. Guess I'll find another way to log my books. |
| 2025-01-28 |  | | All other book apps I have used accommodate the large number of books that I read. I also really like the timer and the statistics on my reading. But when I got to my 11th book of the year, I got the pop up saying that I had to upgrade in order to track more books. Sadly I won't be using this app anymore. |
| 2025-01-26 |  | | Unfortunately, the developers decided to put syncing reading progress behind a paywall so unless you want to pay at least $10 a month, you won't be able to have a uniform database across your devices. As someone who likes to read on one device and track progress and notes on another, this is a deal breaker. I was genuinely considering premium but finding out a basic function was locked was a hard no. Going back to Storygraph. |
| 2025-01-18 |  | | Been using this app to get back into reading, an activity I love but have been struggling to make time for. It's been fun to see my stats and gives me that little push I need to sit down and read! Highly recommend if reading is something you want to do more of but struggle to prioritize! |
| 2025-01-17 |  | | Honestly, I love the idea of this app. I've been using it since a friend of mine told me about it. The major issue I have is that I don't know if it's an iPhone v.s Android thing or what, but my app looks awful (I have Android). My friend has the same app on iPhone, and it looks different. The words are spaced out, and it just looks way better. Like there's sections of the app that just look smashed together, and it's hard to read all of the screen. |
| 2025-01-02 |  | | By far one of my favorite tracking apps. I had a few others before, and there's still some I haven't tried yet, but this one is amazing. I do have the pro version myself, but regardless, it's cute, it's easy to use, it's nice to see how my stats are while reading, like average pages/per minute/hour, I like that you can add thoughts and comments and quotes while reading. |
| 2024-12-29 |  | | After my data getting lost several times over, I came back to this app while I transfer info to a different app. The app keeps congratulating me on finishing my first reading session and asking me to set a reading goal after every single session. Several books I finished last year were suddenly unfinished even though the time read was correct, the finished date changing to 1969. I'm finally done transferring my data elsewhere and so happy to be done. |
| 2024-12-16 |  | | At first I really enjoyed Bookly. I liked that there was a free version with the basic statistical feedback and a more in depth Pro version. That is until I got to the point where I had added 10 books and went to add an 11th but could go no further unless I had the Pro version. So the free version is just a limited 10 book trial. Such a disappointment I was actually going to upgrade to Pro until I found this out. Guess I will just continue to use Fable |
| 2024-12-11 |  | | A great app with potential for more! Overall I'm enjoying this app and the annual cost isn't too bad. My biggest issue so far has been learning what the pro features are and trying to get the hang of the interface. It's a bit difficult to learn, imo, but I love the visuals for tracking my reading. I'll keep at it and see how I feel over time. |
