About this app

Do you like listening to music while you read?

Moodreads uses a complex algorithm to match any book up with the perfect music.

NEW!! We've recently added ISBN barcode scanner so now you can find your book using your camera!

How it works:

Just type the name of any book into the search bar and BAM! You instantly get a carefully selected playlist that perfectly fits the book you're reading.

For example, a horror novel will generate a spine-chilling and suspenseful soundtrack, while a romance novel will make you swoon with a dreamy playlist.

Add in the soothing sound of rain, a timer to turn the app off in 30 or 60 minutes, and you have the perfect distraction-free way to read and listen to music in perfect harmony.

Reading will never be the same again.

But wait... there's more!

You also have a book shelf where you can save a list of books you're currently reading, so you don't have to search for the same titles every time you open the app.

Features:
🎧 A continuously growing music streaming database.
☔ Rain sound effect option to play over top of the music.
🔉 Native chromecast support.
📷 ISBN scanner to find your books.
⏲ Timer to close app in 30 or 60 minutes.
💗 Bookshelf to save up to 9 favorite searches.
🎥 Movie composers' orignal music.
📖 Over a billion books. Goodreads and Google books API.

The music tracks on this app are credited to:
Steve Buick, Kevin Macleod, Scott Buckley, Uniq, Lucas King, Monst3r, Myuu, Nitral and Mk Red.

**This app is not an ebook reader so it does not contain any book to download or purchase.**

Please let me know if there's anything wrong before giving a low rating. I'm a dad of two and doing my best to make sure this app works perfectly.

-My new favorite app. Runs seamlessly in the background while I work or read. -I've put in random titles to test the results & am pleasantly surprised at the variety of music offered. -For example, my search results for "nursery rhymes" played the darkly folkloric "Air Prelude" by Kevin Macleod. What a cool find! -For me, Moodreads is probably more a tool for music discovery than for actually reading with the perfect background music, though it works for both purposes.

You open the app, type the name of the book you're reading, and it automatically loads ambient music intended to accompany the genre. It isn't the same from book to book. It works very well and I look forward to seeing how the developer improves it in the future. It's great for ebook reading, though I imagine it works just as well in any scenario.

Love the idea. Way to go👏 Musics are great but some of them catches you hard, it's like the app knows you're reading the thrilling (E.g) part of a book and plays something SO MYSTERIOUS. Although needs more specific musics. E.g : "Nocturne" isn't that appropriate for old, poetic, Persian books like Hafiz's books. Musics with combination of Tanboor and Daf would be a lot better. Don't just take my word, try it your self. Would recommend it to every reader I know👍
