My Favorite Bookish Apps!
1. Libby ✨- My absolute favorite app for audiobooks! I’m a big audiobook girly, and I go through a book within 1-2 days so having a free option is well appreciated. I love to use audiobooks as a companion when I read a book and/or hear it on its own. (Library Card is needed)
2. Kindle App 🔖 - This is where I store all my ebooks and downloaded books. This app is what I prefer to use to read and organize all my ebooks.
(I have it on my iPhone, Mac, iPad, etc and it all syncs together wherever I decide to read it. / It is NOT necessary to have an actual Kindle Tablet to be able to use the Kindle App).
5. Bookmory - This is the app that I prefer to use to TRACK all of my books. I also love the statistics it offers, and it’s easy & clean interface. It’s free and has so much to offer! I am surprised not many people know about this app, and the ones that do know - they know that it’s top tier even for it’s free basic version.
4. Goodreads - The OG book tracker / review app. I do track and organize some of my books on this app, but I don’t record all. I love Goodreads to search for recommendations amongst friends and reviewers, and to leave/read reviews. It’s easy to use, but it could use big updates esp on the app, and a better interface.
6. Book Tracker - ReadTracker - I recently downloaded this app. It’s a fairly new app, BUT I genuinely think that this app will blow all the book tracking apps out of the water down the line. It has all the best qualities and items that a book tracking app should have, and I love that the developer is constantly updating and adding great features. He’s on it! (I did pay a yearly fee for it and I also changed the app icon).
7. Margins - It’s also a book tracking app, but I don’t track my books here. I only use this app to save all the book series I want to read, and to know the orders of the books.
