Bookjournal.app Reviews

Great concept but it doesn’t work. No matter how many times i add a book, it disappears

I was really excited to try this. But I downloaded it and tried opening it but it wont open or stay open and then it refuses to work.

Bookjournalapp worked for 1 day and I have not been able to get it to work since. I have tried deleting it and re adding it. I tried paying for the subscription. Nothing works. Really frustrating because I transferred ALL of my TBR and reading log into Bookjournalapp and now I have nothing.

I was excited to use Bookjournalapp, but I never really got to. It kept saying no connection on the Home Screen of Bookjournalapp . Then, when it did connect, it wouldn’t return results for any of the searches I tried. Add to that the cost of the premium membership to have access to all the features of Bookjournalapp (you have to pay monthly or annually; no single time option), and Bookjournalapp just doesn’t deliver. I hope it improves in the future, but for now, I’ll have to pass on it and keep looking for a better book journaling app.

I saw an ad for Bookjournalapp and was very excited. This has the potential to be an app I use daily, but there is a major flaw. The ability to import from Goodreads is great, but unfortunately doesn’t work well. I had one title added 6 times during import and not one was the correct version. Adding manually is tedious for those of us who read a lot and want to start off by importing our current lists. No where isn’t Bookjournalapp does it tell you Bookjournalapp name either. Also, can we please have half star options for ratings!

Bookjournalapp could’ve used more iteration before rollout. It’s a great concept and I think could be wildly successful this feature worked better. Sadly, this will drive people away from Bookjournalapp .

I love the look of Bookjournalapp and the functions, but I have a big issue with the pricing of the premium functions. As a free user, you can have three journals with fifty MAX book entries. Otherwise, you can spend $5 a month to have unlimited. There's not too many other premium features, so that's a steep price to be able to list more than 50 books in your journals. I'd rather use GoodReads. It's similar and free.

I have high hopes for Bookjournalapp. But as of this moment it’s not very user friendly. I’ve been playing around in Bookjournalapp and I can’t seem to access where to rate and add dates ect. Every time I click on the book it just gives me the option to add or remove it from my journal. Hoping over time they can make this an easier user experience. There’s so much potential here.

Please fix adding books to the journals. It’s not updating or saving. And it seems like when you go into the journal it’s not showing correctly or merging well. Bookjournalapp could be amazing once you add and fix a few things. Like for sure adding friends & integrating our good reads list not having to add one by one again.

Downloaded app today in hopes of trying and finding a new book tracker. For some reason I am unable to add and save the books I’ve read. I tried multiple times but after pushing the add, no lists or titles are added.

I have iPhone 14 and going to have to wait for update.

I loved the online one said if it became an app I would buy premium so I did! But sadly it is not letting me add books to my journals. Hoping it gets fixed. Glad I did the month first or I would be more upset.

A lot of bugs, I hope there's gonna be an update to fix it. But still a great app.

I imported my books from GoodReads. Most of them came in okay but a few came in as the wrong book. No biggie….I deleted the incorrect book and manually added the correct book. Anytime I exit Bookjournalapp and return the deleted books have reappeared in my collection. I have tried deleting them from each section (finished, reviews, journals, five star reads, etc) and they still reappear in the finished section. Please fix this….it’s quite frustrating.

Love Bookjournalapp! Would like to see audiobooks as a selection so I can track, physical, ebooks or audiobooks

I loved Bookjournalapp but sometimes it will crash or wouldn’t let me access it

by Babe If The 60s

Such a great app. I use it to track my reading and it makes me teadd
More which I live. .very easy to use and nicely set out. Thanks cause there is nothing else like this available for readers like me

I have been following book journal on tik for a while but never bought it because I’m a digital girl so I was very excited to see Bookjournalapp. It’s definitely a work in progress but my favorite thing about this is the wish section. You can write down a wish you want for Bookjournalapp and up vote other people’s wishes and the creator takes them into account when updating Bookjournalapp . You can even see which wishes/features have been added because of it. I’m very excited to see where Bookjournalapp goes because I feel like it will be the perfect book logging app

I love love love Bookjournalapp . But it’s been crashing the entire day and I haven’t been able to update my journals. Also the reading goal keeps reverting back to 50 everytime so I have to reset my goal.

I absolutely love Bookjournalapp I am constantly using it way more than goodreads and this maybe Bookjournalapp to switch too for good. I absolutely love the layout and all the features it has.

by Steph73x

Bookjournalapp has been fun to use. I love keeping track of the books I’ve read and seeing my progress for the year. I now never forget a book I’ve read. I like all the details it has too. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

I love Bookjournalapp! It’s pretty new and has room for development but there’s nothing better out there for me.

I downloaded 500+ books from Goodreads to start my records. Many books needed swapping as descriptions were absent but I expect the process will be easier as Bookjournalapp matures.

Several issues I have figured out workarounds. I’m patient in waiting for fixes. Nothing too frustrating.

Free and paid versions are not different enough but have a significant difference in cost. I would subscribe to paid if it was a one time payment or lower yearly cost. The free version is all I really need — I don’t categorize my books like paid version provides.

I appreciate being able to see my books on bookshelves divided into several categories — Finished, TBR and Currently Reading. Can also view as a list or book covers.

Developer maintains a Wishlist for upcoming changes that can be voted on by app owners.

So many good things to say about Bookjournal App!
