5/5Finally! The ONE!
I have truly been down the rabbit hole with all of these book trackers. I thought that I found the one that I could settle on, but the utter lack of response from the developers, coupled with the fact that they had so few books, and didn’t seem to want to add more sent me on a search. I stumbled across Bookist, and it seemed to check all the boxes for things that I was looking for, plus they have both an iPhone and iPad version for FREE. The best part of all? They are lightning quick to respond! Each time I have asked for a book to be added, Louise has been on top of it. She’s absolutely lovely, and when I inquired about some other features I was interested in, she told me at least one was in the works already. I truly appreciate developers who are response and kind to their user base. It’s very important to have that support back and forth. I’m also finding that their suggestions are really cool too. If you are looking for a hearty book suggestion/tracking app look no further. I can’t believe it’s free. I would gladly pay for a subscription to support!

5/5Incredible App!
Thanks to Bookist's easy to use "Tinder-style" interface and great overviews, in 10 minutes, I found 11 new books I definitely want to read and 9 more in the "maybe" stack. This is the dumbed down, novice version of Goodreads for those of us that are not already immersed in reading 50 books a year. I had given up on recent books as being badly written and dumb. I had stopped reading altogether. Thanks to Bookist, my cynicism about recent books has been disproven, and my joy for reading has been rekindled.

5/5Great book app for anyone who loves to read
A very easy-to-use and entertaining way to identify new books to read and keep track of the books you’ve finished.

3/5Genre options pointless
I wanted to try to find more books like ones I’ve read using a swiping system for ease of use. However I’ve noticed that i still get a lot of genres I’ve not selected and the options aren’t very up to par with my taste yet but will keep trying
