4.7 out of 5
Didn’t find a single book

I tried to add the book I was reading and ReadingJourney couldn’t find it, even when I pasted in the ISBN number. I tried a few other titles and it found nothing. A book tracker is useless if it can’t track books.

Disappointed

Love the UI and excited about the widget. But the Goodreads sync doesn’t seem to work.

Widget blank

The widget doesn’t work for me. I added my currently reading books but the widget is blank and doesn’t show the books

Please make widget work when using clear icons

Happy to update to 5 stars when fixed (note it’s still not working even after dev response here) to clarify by work I mean have the option to show books in color

Fun and unique features

I really love the idea of a lot of the features in ReadingJourney. The emotional journey is super cute, and I like that I can make entries for previous days in case I forget through the experience.

The idea of the “places you go” map is so fun, but I think it’s a little off right now. Obviously, ReadingJourney just came out, so I don’t understand it fully and bugs are to be expected! But…why are my pictures putting me in Tibet? And why can I not change it? My book isn’t set there, and I’ve never been there lol.

In other news, A DNF GRAVEYARD BECAUSE SOMEONE FINALLY UNDERSTANDS 😭😭 might be my favorite part of the whole app so far, and I haven’t even used the graveyard yet!

Great start

This has so much promise. My hopes are that you will add an import option to track books I own. It would be nice to import my Amazon and audible books

Good Way to Keep Track

I love the outline and layout of ReadingJourney. However I feel like some things could be improved! I’d love the option to edit page amount for books because different editions of the same book may have different page counts. I think adding more star options like .25 and .75 would be fun! I would also love an option to import data from other apps so we don’t have to do it manually! And I’d love the option to follow other people. Overall it’s a super cute app with really good features I haven’t seen anywhere else!!

Love this tracker

The book tracker I needed! I love that I don’t need to rate a full star, the DNF graveyard, and the reactions. It has been tedious trying to manually add the books I’ve already read so I’m holding off on the hopes that a Goodreads import or even the ability to batch load titles will be available soon. Developers are super responsive and open to feedback, can’t ask for anything better! Keep up the great work :)

UPDATED: Great Idea but Struggling…

Update: Thank you for the response. I tried it again and it worked beautifully! Glad y’all had such a strong response and so may active user and even more glad you got it running smoothly!
Worth it for the widget on the Home Screen alone. Love it!

I love the idea but I haven’t been able to add the books I’m currently reading. I’ve tried scanning the cover. I’ve tried typing in the title, I’ve tried the EAN, the ISBN. What are the chances both Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Poppy War can’t be added? I think I’ll wait a while for them to work out the bugs and then try again. Love the idea of the widget but not if I can’t add books.

Really cute! 🥰

I love that I can import books from images and TikTok.Saves me so much time and it’s satisfying!
The little reading journey is fun and I’ve enjoyed adding pics and reactions.
Glad this is a small indie team to support. I’m done with supporting goodreads.

Love this app

I’ve tried many reading tracker apps and couldn’t find the one that made me the happiest, then Reading Journey came across my Threads dash and I fell in love. I was part of the Beta team and absolutely loved every second of it.

LOVE!!!

Clean, tidy, and cute? I’m in! I love how organized everything is, and it’s really cool to be able to have reflections. I wish there was a way to import via CSV (because I’m a huge nerd who loves spreadsheets). Otherwise, it’s amazing as it is!

PERFECT

I was a beta tester for ReadingJourney and the fact that there were nearly DAILY updates during testing was incredible. The feedback from the user was really listened to and all of the features are so cute!! The UI is very simple to use and I love that you can track your stats, leave notes as you update your reading, take a photo of the book cover and get the book added automatically (MY FAVORITE FEATURE), and you have a little roadmap showing your emotional journey through each read!! Truly ReadingJourney is so cute and I can’t wait to tell all my friends to download it!!!!

the cutest book tracker!!

this tracker is so much fun. i love the many goal setting options. my favorite feature by far is the emotional journey. it’s very unique and sets it apart from other book trackers. also, it’s cool to see reactions at a glance and to see reading locations. you can also import books through links and i think that is genius!! especially if you like to get book recs through social media. feels like a personal diary, but for books! it’s def a fun way to spruce up your reading experience.

My favorite book tracking app

Something about Reading Journey is better than the other book tracking apps. The emoji reactions, clearly showing the day you read a specific book and how many pages you read that day is awesome! I’m excited to try RJ+

Reading for yourself, not for competition

Awesome! A new app for books! Just entered my first book and I can already tell this is gonna be a great tool for me. My favorite part is it doesn't try to gamify or make reading some kinda competition. It's perfect since there's already plenty of other apps for that. This one also looks better too☺️📚❤️

So cute + cozy!

This was definitely a different app for me to try. I’m grateful to have been a beta tester. At first, I wasn’t sure about this - I loved the idea of taking a photo of a reading session but in practice I wasn’t doing that a lot HOWEVER! I’m really enjoying it even when reading from home bc it gets me to romanticize reading and make it a whole vibe.

I like the emoji map of my feelings while reading and I like that I can jot down notes either each entry to remember how I felt at certain plot points.

It’s like a digital reading diary and if that’s your speed, get ReadingJourney!

So cute & fun

I’ve been beta testing since the beginning.It’s so cute and super easy to use.

I love that I can take pics when I read and put my reactions in.ReadingJourney makes a reading journey graphic I can share out too!

Importing books from TikTok?! What?! Game changer.

Stats have been launching and love that they are adorable while also being unique.

I can’t wait to see how this one keeps getting better!
