Booka - Minimal Booklist 4+

Desperately needs this one feature…

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.

Perfect booklist app!

After trying many apps, this one fulfills all my need! Easy to track progress, allows you to add multiple and custom tags to a book, and has by far the best search engine! I was able to find many books here that I weren’t able to find in other book’s auto search(and with the correct cover photo!) It is completely free and does not require any subscription at all! There’s only a gentle ‘support’ tab that’s incorporated in the settings menu to voluntarily show appreciation to the developer (set at $4.99!) rather than abrupt subscription requests or limited functions for free versions.

Nice, but missing an important feature

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.
