About this app

Use this book tracker & reading tracker app to achieve your reading goals & keep a reading log. Organize your library, create book lists and reading lists, track your reading time, your reading habit and 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

The app has been working well for the past month or so BUT it is starting to act up. I keep trying to enter books in the search bar of Basmo to add them to my 'Want to Read' Collection but they are not showing up. Any title or Author I put, nothing shows up. I even tried to type a book that was already in my 'Want to Read' Collection and it said it couldn't find it so i had to put it in manually. I have restarted my phone, wifi and everything else. Can some help or please fix this? Thank you.

The app says it catelogues your books. It even asks if that is your main goal for the app on start up. I had hopes of entering my entire Library within the app, so I could scroll through and choose a genre that interested me. However, it seems to only catalogue books READ, not by books intended to read later. I am unsure why a person would need this feature or why it bothered to ask at start up. The selection changed nothing. I enjoy the rest of the features though.

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.
