ReadingTime - Family Tracker

Overall, the update looks amazing! It looks great it behaves wonderfully it was very, very, very much needed. All that said the feature I used the most went away, and I am very annoyed by it. I use this app to track the reading of my three-year-old daughter so we are still on picture books: which means we sit down to read a book and 5 minutes later we finish it. So how I’ve been using Reading Time is simply as a log of books that have been read. I enter the books into the library, and then add them to her read list. In the old version, I could bulk add all the books that had not already been added at one time to her list. In the new version, apparently I can add books that have already been read. And now I have to remember what the new books all are and add them one at a time, which is very very VERY ANNOYING.

I really like this app for using with my children. I love that the book cover displays and you can add a picture if one is not shown. The ability to search the internet is also great. I only wish I could select multiple books at once to add to my childrens’ reading logs. Sometimes I load multiple books at a time and it would be nice to be able to do it all at once instead of having to go back over and over. I think the full version is a great value!

I started using Goodreads awhile ago because I liked the concept; however, I wanted to start tracking the books I read to my toddler as well. My Goodreads got congested and I was not a fan. I found this app and the user friendliness is so nice and I loved how it wasn’t cluttered with others’ reviews like Goodreads (I really don’t care on others’ reviews as I have the books I want to read and just want an easy way to track them all). I love the library feature so I can have a list of all my books especially our children’s books for when you’re out shopping and forget what you do or don’t have. SUGGESTIONS: I love this app so much! My biggest suggestions that would just make this app perfect for me: 1) if there is a way to add the same book multiple times to your read list without it re-adding it to your library. When tracking books for kids we often read the same book multiple times. 2) if there was a way to categorize books in your library by genre or custom categories (like children’s books, study books, leisure books, fiction, etc) Thank you for this app and I hope you take these suggestions into consideration!!
