Many of us feel tension these days, at the very least. So when you are bombed by flashing annoying news or angry online videos, it may be good to turn into an old escape-such as a book.
If you are a dedicated reader, it’s not enough to read. You may want to follow every book you have read and record notes about what you thought about or what I told you. You may want to recommend it to others (or warn them against it). You may like a way to find other interesting folders for reading. If your life is crowded with other activities, you may want to set reminders to spend time reading. Book registration applications can help.
For a long time, the most popular app for readers was goodreads. On this well -known site, people record their reading habits, give their opinions about what they have read, and draft discussions about their favorite types. But while goodreads is still strength, there are alternatives. Here are four applications that can help you track the books you have read and find new applications. Although the first two, goodsads and storygraph, stresses more reviews, community, book and book to help you stick to your reading goals using time control devices, notes and other options.
Before going to the alternatives, it is good to see the place of goodreads these days. Originally, it was simply a place where you could record the books you read and tell people what I thought about as well as finding new books (from Amazon and other sources). Now, there are books and discussions, the ability to know what your friends read, and the opportunity to ask questions to your favorite authors. If you are a writer, you can publish new works (and we hope to sell more books) by offering free copies, buying ads or interacting with your readers, among other strategies.
Unfortunately, in recent years, goodreads has become known as “Review of the bombing“Where the book is immersed with assessments of one stars and critical reviews, often for political or other reasons, and sometimes by people who have not already read the book. He put this on the application – and it led to a lot of conversation, both of them Professional and Fool. In addition, the site’s appearance has become very busy and confusing, as ads occupy a large part of real estate on the screen. But perhaps this is how good terrads remains free to use.
Among the three alternative applications listed here, Storygraph is the closest application to goodreads. You can even transfer your current data – the books you have read and want to read – from goodreads; I tried it, and the process was simple. If you prefer to start from scratch, you can get recommendations by conducting a questionnaire. Have you made things like choosing up to five preferred types and listing the types of books that you do not want.
The Storygraph home page has a lot of the same information that goodreads enjoys – but it is less preoccupied, and as a result, it is easier to move. It explains what you are currently reading, and what you have said that you want to read it, and the recommendations based on what is in your other lists, and what is popular among other readers on Storygraph. Also, as with goodreads, there are gifts so that the authors can attract more readers.
You can see your reading statistics and prepare goals (how many books, pages or reading hours this year). There is a community tab that you can follow other readers and check their book reviews. As with goodreads, you can choose a book, and a description and classification will be displayed based on community reviews. You can then click to see the same reviews. You can also display other posts by the author by choosing its name.
There are also friends’ readings, as you read a book along with up to 14 other people. There are challenges. For example, to read a book published between 2010-2020 fits your reader profile but excludes the most read type. Finally, you can also buy books through Bookshop Us, Bookshop UK and Blackwell’s.
The Storygraph Plus version for $ 4.99 per month or $ 49.99 annually provides additional statistics and priority support. However, the free version may suit most people looking for a simpler alternative but still useful for goodreads.
With all the deviations we face every day, it is sometimes difficult to keep your focus enough to sit and read. If this bothers you, Bookly tries to help.
Bookly is a mobile application that is not only recorded to record what you read (in fact, the free version allows you only to keep up with up to 10 books in your records); Instead, the main purpose of it is to encourage you to read by allowing you to track when reading, the duration you read, and what comes out of it. Select time when you want to read, the application will make you up when that time is going on. You can then time for your reading session, or stop adding a price, thinking or new word you encountered. You can even play the surrounding sounds while reading. Once you have finished the reading session, you can take some time of reflection and write what you think. Reading also earns virtual diamonds – one for every five minutes of reading – which you can use, from other things, “Wonderful fashion” for “Bloo”, the small amulet icon for the application.
The application renews itself in different ways, some of which can become somewhat opportunistic. You can buy diamonds – for example, $ 2.99 gets 1500 diamonds. There is also a professional version costing $ 9.99 per month or $ 29.99 annually and provides cloud backup, reading and personal suggestions, among other features.
Although Bookmory allows you to record the books you read and the books you want to read, the focus here is the amount of progress you make in reading this book. As with Bookly, you can record a paper book to determine your progress with pages, or an electronic book to celebrate your progress in a percentage, or an audio book to determine your progress with the episodes. You can register if you have bought or obtained the book on loan. (Unfortunately, there is no option to classify a book as a free download, for example, Project Gueney
Once you add a new book, press the timer, and begins to count the countdown at the time you spend reading. You can set the countdown if you need to remind yourself of stopping, and you can write down notes (or take a screen shot of a page). You are somewhat limited. For example, you can write your own notes, but if you want to use the text from a camera or image, you should become either a distinguished member or watch an advertisement. The tabs at the bottom of the screen allow you to write notes about the book, know the books you have read (recorded as achievements), or share your classifications with others on the application or on Instagram.
Like the book, the focus here on personal achievement instead of creating a community of readers – this is good, if this is what you are looking for. The free version allows you to register an unlimited number of books and notes, set the goal of reading, and to make cloud backup. The subscription costs $ 2.99 per month or $ 28.99 annually and removes ads, automatic backup, provides you with daily statistics, and more.
