Basmo Reading Tracker Book Log Reviews

They select the book you have to read but they don’t show it or anything. It’s just a timer and a place to take notes. Once you create a profile you can log on iPad but it’s pretty tricky to navigate and it’s not really seamless from mobile to iPad. Although I have to say the concept is great it’s ... Show more just not very user friendly.

Maybe with updates 🤞🏽

For some reason, scan page doesn’t work for me. The main reason I purchased BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog was for the ability to take screenshots. A $60 price tag for Basmo is ridiculous. There are other similar apps that can do what Basmo does for cheaper and with more features. Premium price for a ... Show more subpar app.

I attempted to download and use BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog. I select a small monthly fee for payment options. I read all info carefully. However, I was still charged the highest cost for BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog at $117. In addition, when the free trial was over BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog took... Show more me through the entire setup process again. All try to try and get money more money out of my pocket. BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog did not aligned across my devices and failed to save any of my info. BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog is a scam and they only want your money. I’m very disappointed.

So I downloaded BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog to help me with reading, but while doing the set up part of it, they asked me how reading made me feel with a selection of emojis to choose from. And when I chose the emoji, it didn’t do anything and just stayed on that page. I tried closing and reopening... Show more BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog several times and clicking the page and reloading but it doesn’t seem to be working. I would really like to use BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog, but I can’t figure out what’s wrong with the set up part of it.

BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog isn’t very easy to navigate on your own. For an app meant to be analytical and help you track goals, it’s odd that you can only choose one goal per category. I also couldn’t find a way to customize goals. Their book library is also weirdly incomplete. When I went to add ... Show more a book, they didn’t have it, but had the second book in the series.
Storygraph is a much better app, and it’s free. Don’t waste your money on this mess.

I only had BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog for about five minutes before it seemed like more of a hassle than it’s worth. Don’t know if the developers can give me a refund since I barely used it, but I’d like one. The first book I’m reading I had to manually enter. Then another one. Then it wouldn’t le... Show more t me read more than one book at a time (which I routinely do). Just clunky.

Accidentally just typed that I read more pages than were in the book. It said i finished the book. Went back to edit it to the number of pages I actually read and it still says I finished the book and won’t let me continue reading.

So far I have really enjoyed using BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog. It is a fun and easy way to track your reading and gives you different statistics.
My only complaint is the note taking section. I have often had to go back through the notes I took and re-edit the formatting because it never saves.... Show more For example, I am constantly fixing the highlighted part of one of my notes. The is only two lines in the passage I saved from the book that I want highlighted but every time I open my notes the whole passage is highlighted.
Another example is the bold text feature. I use bold text for quotes from the book and regular text for my personal notes. I often have to go and reselect lines and change them back to bold because the bold text will only save for half of what I wrote.

I really enjoy using BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog, and it does what it promises, makes me read soooo much more. That being said there is a lot of room for improvement.

This is small but the "reader roadmap" goal bar refuses to disappear even when I have completed the final step of designing a... Show more nd sharing a quote upwards of 10x..the bar will not go away. As someone with OCD this irritates me a lot, and for an app you pay for, there shouldn't be a glitch like that.

A BIG area of improvement is the stats section!!!! If I'm paying to see stats, I better be able to see stats other than my week to week stats...WITH ZERO HISTORY. As I reader, I want to be able to see how many pages I've read this month, this year, this quarter. Actually truly track what I'm doing. Week to week serves me no benefit if I can't remember my page speed or pages read from the previous day. (Yes, everyday stats are different because it's not M-S stats..it's Tues-Tues, Wed-Wed..you get the picture). I should also be able to get full stats on books that I am reading. If I read a book, I should see how many hours TOTAL i spent reading, and my average mood for the book, pages read, sped of reading etc, instead it merely tells me my stats for reading the book for the week i completed it in.

These improvements alone is enough to keep me from renewing premium as I'm not actually getting any true data that I can't get on my own by timing & tracking myself without hassle.

I was all in with App until it asked for my fingerprint. Why? My personal identifiers are not necessary and an overreach. It’s bad enough I have facial recognition from APPLE, but a fingerprint from a no-name application is a no-go for me. Sorry. I would’ve loved to try it.

I’m really excited to use BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog. But when I was signing in and answering the questions, it wouldn’t let me continue on one of the questions. It was the question on how I feel about reading with the emojis. I selected my response and there was no button to continue or anything.... Show more I tried deleting and reinstalling but it still didn’t work. I also tried reporting the problem on the website but it wouldn’t let me. Idk if I’m doing something wrong or if it’s just a glitch🤷‍♀️Idk I’m hoping I can get this fixed so I can use BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog

I really enjoy BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog for tracking and seeing starts. I could use some additional items though which probably will come with further developed...maybe.

A pause button for reading sessions would be great.

When adding a read book to the library I couldn’t adjust/ad... Show more d number of pages. Counts the book as read in the year but can’t adjust the details.

Emojis for feelings is limited. Reading usually provokes more emotions than the few they have but it’s not super important.

Just wanted to give it a try but why pay this much for something Goodreads already does for free?

I love BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog. I subscribed to it monthly after my free trial but it keeps telling me I need to subscribe to use all the features even though I’m subscribed. It’s so frustrating :(

Initially, I had some problems, but after posting a disappointed review, the owner contacted me. There was some confusion on both sides, and he helped me get it straightened out.
The one recommendation I made - having the ability to pause a session - is something they are working on.
I’m en... Show more joying it and glad I signed up.
There could be more emoji feelings such as confused, disturbed, satisfied, excited - because awesome, happy, and sad are rather limiting.

I love BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog! It makes tracking my reading fun and convenient. I love the goal setting feature too!

I've been wanting something like this forever... Focused on me as a reader and what my needs are. Can't wait to see what they're going to build into BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog next!

BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog has helped me keep track of where I’m at. With constantly being on the go I find it very helpful to track where I’m at. Highly recommend!

I don’t like to mark my book with highlighting so BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog is perfect for this.
I love the idea I can write notes every time I read a chapter
And my favorite part is I can organize the books by folder. Love this

I’m a total bookworm but tracking my reading and my progress on books can get annoying. Personally BasmoReadingTrackerBookLog is very helpful. I love that I could also write my thoughts on what I read in that moment. Although I do wish I could pause the timer so I don’t have to restart every time ... Show more I have to use the bathroom or get a snack. Besides that it’s a great app, would recommend for other bookworms.

Easily the best app for all bookworms!
