Awesome! The must-have app I always wished existed for reading books with ambient background music actually does exist, and it works really well. Kudos to the indie developer behind it, and please don’t ever abandon this app! Money well spent on my end :)

Got it on sale for free, was curious so tried it out. It's got some slick and intuitive interface. I tried it for Les Miserables, Harry Potter, and a foreign book. All were spot-on. I assume it uses tags from Goodreads? Very reliable, no ads as well. In addition to the lyric-less music, the app shows the piece's name/artist as a notif (which other apps can use for last.fm scrobbling) and has sleep timers + rain sounds. Absolutely perfect for my read, surprised this idea wasn't explored before.

Tried moodreads for the first time today after picking up a code from Reddit (Thanks btw!). I really like the interface, however the music kinda drifted off theme as I went on reading. I was reading "The DevOps Handbook" and suddenly the app started playing music which would be better accompanied by a thriller novella, whereas it started off on a relaxing theme at first. Also, it would be great if you could add an option to skip tracks back & forth. Pretty cool idea and nicely made!
