About this app

Start a reading challenge in 2023 with Basmo, the best reading tracker app. Use our app as a book tracker and reading tracker to achieve your reading goals & keep a reading log. Organize your library, create book lists and reading lists and track your reading time daily. Create a reading habit and easily see your reading stats!

We know every reader forgets more than 90% of what they read within the first 7 days after reading, if they don't take notes. We also know that sticking to a reading routine to develop real reading habits and achieve ambitious reading goals is difficult.

As book lovers ourselves, we've experienced these problems first-hand. That's why we've built this app – to fix the issues passionate readers face and give everyone a smarter way to read. See what’s inside:

REMEMBER WHAT YOU READ: TAKE NOTES BY SCANNING BOOK PAGES
Saving book ideas and taking book notes is now easier than ever. Simply scan a book page, select an interesting paragraph and tap "Save text”. The app will then digitize that text and save it as a note!

UNDERSTAND HOW YOU READ: TRACK READING TIME & EMOTIONS
Start journaling about how you feel and reflecting on what you read after each reading session. Since every session tracks your reading time, you’ll always be able to look back and see your stats. A good book is not only a source of knowledge, but also an emotional journey. Tracking how you feel while reading can bring out more value in the books you read, encourage you to re-read it, or even make you want to share it with someone special.

ACHIEVE YEARLY & DAILY READING GOALS
Engage in reading challenges that stimulate you to read more. Easily keep track of all the books you've read this year to achieve your Yearly Reading Goal. Set a new reading challenge for 2022, and track your progress onwards!

DEVELOP A DAILY READING HABIT
After adding your yearly goal, our app will suggest a daily number of minutes for you to read each day to reach your goal. Forgetful? Don’t worry, we’ve plugged in some friendly reminders to make sure you stay on track. Every time you achieve a target or goal, we’ll celebrate with you!

ORGANIZE YOUR BOOKS INTO READING LISTS
Every book carries its status and we make it easy for you to add them to your bookshelf. Simply add and delete your own collections in order to sort books according to genre, topic, or priority.

Ratings and reviews

I should have read further into the reviews. I'm experiencing issues that folks brought up 2 years ago that still haven't been fixed, particularly the issue with editing sessions. I want this to work because it's a great concept, but it's buggy and disorganized. Particularly strange that there is no quality control around adding new titles, which turns it into the wild west of a database. I'm going to give it a day to see if I can deal with the issues but likely uninstalling.

Doesn't scan. The whole reason I downloaded this app was the capability the app description listed about scanning in order to read later. I follow the directions I found online but the screen to scan/snap a picture of a book page doesn't work. I've tried multiple times over the last couple of months and it continues to freeze upon clicking "scan page" and it never scans. I then exit the app and re-open to try again and still freezes/fails.

Great app for keeping track of your reading. It's not exactly perfect but it's definitely the best app out there for keeping a solid reading schedule. To Basmo: There are a few things that I think would improve the app. -When you add a new book, you should be able to put the page number/chapter you're currently on. Not everybody is going to be starting every book from page 1. -Tracking by page number doesn't work well for audiobooks. Should be able to track by chapter as well.
