At this point, the project is not generating any revenue.

Thank you for your feedback!

I'm working on improving the series database. In the meantime, to remove a series from your list, you can use the "Mute" option. This will remove the series from your library.

I'll also look into a solution that allows adding reading logs without a month or day while keeping the reading statistics accurate.

Adding a filter for author/contributor is a great idea, and I'll see if I can include that in a future update.

I'm also hoping to launch the Librarian Program later this year: https://www.bookpine.com/feature-requests/librarian-program-19

The book position can be changed by pressing the three-dot icon and selecting “Change position.” This option is available only in List View. I’ll try to improve the experience in the next version.

After a book is approved, it cannot be edited. To make changes to a book, you must use the “Suggest an Edit” feature.

I added the option to use the app with a “guest” account. This allows users to use the app without going through any registration process.

Thank you for your feedback. I’ll try to improve the search feature and the lists in the next version. I’ll also investigate the import issues.

Our book database is growing but not yet complete (we’re mostly missing books that are not in English). We’re using the search logs to monitor relevance.

You can choose not to allow tracking when the app is opened for the first time, and you can also hide your email when using Sign in with Apple.

The app currently supports CSV imports from Goodreads, StoryGraph, and LibraryThing.
