Ratings and Reviews
Clean, easy way to engage with books
Italic Type has replaced Goodreads for me. I was tired of all of the advertising and recommendations based solely on popularity - after reading one too many overwrought reads, I made the move and haven't looked back! Italic Type has a simple, pleasant, straightforward design which I appreciate, but more than that the Book Board and shared Book Boards allow for engagement with the text and with others. Being able to take and upload photos makes a huge difference, too. And the queue, completed, archived, and paused sections are intuitive and helpful forms of organization for my messy, always-growing virtual bookshelves. Thank you!!!
Platform is exactly what I’m looking for.
I’ve tried multiple Goodreads alternatives and had luck with Literal until they announced the app is in maintenance mode with no further work being done, and an app with more than a year between updates that feels sluggish. Enter Italic Type. Beautiful UI, core features are all there, and I’m ready to once again make a switch off GR, but the app has some minor UI quirks that just feel strange to me and a lack of dark mode (your desktop site supports this!) doesn’t jive with me in 2024. I expect mediocre, untouched, archaic design with GR, but yall have it 95% in the bag! The second dark mode hits the app, I’m ready to take the plunge as well as all the other folks I know eager to detach from GR/Amazon.
Great work all in all, and hope to see the platform continue to evolve and not regress like Literal.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for
I have been looking for an app for years that could keep my reading organized in a way that wasn’t messy with ads and other distractions. I’ve been keeping a reading list in Evernote but that has been less than ideal for many reasons. I’m so excited to make Italic Type my new home and start to leverage more of their thoughtful features, like starting a book club! My wife and I have been talking about this for years, so this is perfect ❤️
