There was a tiny bug I noticed when I had to delete an incorrectly recorded reading session (that was my fault), and the page numbers on the page for the book's overall info and the page for the book's reading sessions didn't sync up right. And it's great being able to see the progress I'm making, especially when I'm reading a 700+ pg book. I tend to have a slower reading pace than most, so the infographics were pretty interesting. I've only used it for a couple of books but it really motivated me to make time for a hobby that I don't have as much time for anymore. This is a great app! Easy to use, clean displays, nice and simple. Until then.I'll stick to doing everything the app offers myself but for free. If they decide to change their business model I would definitely give it another shot. But with the ads that take over the entire screen, and simple, easily replicated features locked behind a paywall, it wasn't worth my continued use. Again I think the idea is great and I'd love to use it and would be willing to buy it once for a single rate fee. There isn't anything the app offers that I couldn't do myself with a pen and paper, it's just math. Bug fixes don't count that's should be a given. $30 a year for an app is pretty steep when I haven't read anything about the developers planning to add more content through the life of the app. Or at the very least charge a one time fee. For such minuscule feature that do nothing more than expand what's already offered I see no reason why someone couldn't copy everything and, with what's offered for the pro version, and make it free. Secondly the price with what's locked behind the price. I understand needing ads for revune when you offer a free product, but full page ads are ridiculous especially when I simply want to just add a book. What's not so awesome is the business model. UI I think is well made and everything that the app is specifically designed to do I think is awesome. Love the idea of stat tracking for reading. Just found out about this app and thought I'd try it. Very much worth the price annually, would definitely recommend. I can also revisit favorite passages by adding quotes to that title’s record, and my vocabulary has benefitted from the ability to note new/unfamiliar words and definitions as well. □♀️ By keeping a record of the books I’ve read, I no longer waste time rereading a book I read a couple of years ago that has slipped from memory, as I’ve done many times before I started using Bookly Pro. □ I enjoy tracking my consecutive days read, and will avoid chores all day in order to not break my streak. Have always been a “reader,” but since installing this app, I’ve “always got my nose in a book” according to my bestie. Once it’s part of the stats, it needs to count toward the yearly goal, etc., so I’m loathe to quit one after starting. The motivation to reach goals helps me wade through some selections I might have been more tempted to abandon prior to using the app. I’ve realized that I have several classics I’ve never read for some reason. I’ve logged 222 days so far in my most recent streak and will be crushed now if I miss a day. Update 3/6/22 - After nearly a year since signing up, I’m still loving Bookly it’s definitely one of my top 5 “must do’s” every day. But you know that’s my opinion and you have yours so yeah. But don’t it let you stop from download the app because if you wanna become a reader I think it’s a really good app to helps you in a pretty fun except for that one annoying feature. The fact that I can’t delete a book after I finish reading it most definitely bugs me the most so if you could just change that a little bit would be greatly appreciated. There are other features that bug me like I can’t use diction to type out quotes, thoughts, and vocabulary words and I have to manually type it out. I respect the hustle but you at least let us non-pro people be able to delete books. Because I don’t wanna a book that I just finished to just be taking space when I could add another book but I can’t delete it is only for pro. Everything else I’m fine with is like the access to the assistant or the other things yeah OK I get that but the thing that bugs me the most is the fact that I can’t add more than 10 books and I can’t delete books. To be honest my main problem is the fact lot of the things is pay for access. Like the features to add my thoughts and quotes from book it’s amazing and the sounds that are provided for you to listen to are just spectacular even though I can only afford the free one. Don’t get me wrong it’s a very good app and it’s definitely got me reading a lot more.
