Best Book Tracking Apps in 2026 for iPhone, Android and Web

The StoryGraph is the most complete tracker that runs everywhere: on the web, iPhone, iPad and Android. Its App Store listing promises “insightful stats” with reading charts and graphs, annual goals for books, pages and listening, buddy reads, readalongs, and challenges you can create or join.² A reread counts as its own read; its founder has said that counting rereads separately is intentional and “loved by users.”³

Recommendations come from what the listing calls “our machine learning AI,” which it says learns your reading preferences. Since June 2026, Kobo e-readers sync reading progress and finished books to StoryGraph automatically, and TechCrunch reports that StoryGraph has more than 5 million readers.⁴

The free tier carries no ads. Plus, listed at $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year on the US App Store, adds custom charts, extra stats filters, stats comparisons and year-on-year charts. What it lacks for an iPhone reader is a reading timer and Home Screen widgets: neither is in its listing, and both are requests on its public roadmap.⁵

Goodreads is the default for a reason: its US App Store listing has 760,000 ratings, and its Android app has more than 10 million downloads on Google Play.⁶ It has belonged to Amazon since 2013.⁷ You can track progress by page or percentage, add new dates when you reread a book,⁸ scan a barcode to add a book, and join the yearly Reading Challenge.

It spent 2026 fixing old complaints. A Did Not Finish shelf arrived in version 4.34 of the iPhone app in March, and half-star ratings, which its release notes call “your most requested feature,” in version 4.37 on October 10.⁹ It remains free with ads, with no paid tier to remove them. If you’re ready to leave, our Goodreads alternatives comparison walks through the export, which Goodreads offers only on its desktop site.¹⁰

Bookly, from TwoDoor Games, is built around the timer: “Start the timer every time you read with a simple tap,” its listing says, and it runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Android.¹¹ It tracks pages, percentages or chapters, sets monthly or yearly goals in hours, pages or books, and has readathons, an A–Z challenge, and widgets for your bookshelf and current read. Its Google Play listing promises a “painless Goodreads import” that keeps your Currently Reading, To-Read and Read shelves.¹²

The free version shows ads. Pro, which its listing says unlocks reading stats, image quotes and ambient sounds, costs $4.99 a month, $19.99 for six months or $29.99 a year on the US App Store after a seven-day trial. Bookly also has an assistant for suggestions, reminders and reports, called Bookly Assistant on iPhone and described on Google Play as “Bloo, your AI reading assistant.” Its US App Store listing has a 4.6 average from 63,000 ratings.

Bookmory, from the developer TonySoft, is a reading journal with a timer. You log progress “in the unit that fits each book: pages, percentage, episodes, or time,” log each reread separately, and check a running timer on the Lock Screen or in the Dynamic Island.¹³ Notes can carry underlines, highlights and photos, and it can extract text from a photo of a page, which is the fastest way to save a quote from a paper book.

It imports records kept in other apps from CSV or Excel files and exports to text, Markdown or Excel, so your journal isn’t locked in. Premium, at $3.49 a month or $30.99 a year, removes ads and adds sync across devices, unlimited text extraction and the full statistics. Its US App Store listing has a 4.8 average from 16,000 ratings.

Hardcover calls itself “a book tracking app with a social side, built for readers, not algorithms.” You add books, rate and review them, keep lists and tags, set goals, read your stats, and follow what friends are reading, with a profile that can be public, private or friends-only.¹⁴ It imports from Goodreads and StoryGraph,¹⁵ and its documentation says moving a book back to Currently Reading starts a new read, with progress in pages, a percentage or seconds for audiobooks.¹⁶

Its founder, Adam Fortuna, describes it as bootstrapped,¹⁷ and it offers a public API for your own data, which few trackers do. Core features are free; a Supporter membership costs $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year on the US App Store and adds a profile badge and early access. Its iPhone app is still small, with 66 ratings on the US App Store.

Fable is a social reading app first: its listing invites you to “explore thousands of free book and TV clubs for every niche interest,” with tracking, lists, annual goals and daily streaks alongside, and a Home Screen widget for your streak.¹⁸ It imports book lists from Goodreads and Kindle, and if you reread a book, its help center says your Finished list shows both sets of dates.¹⁹

Fable has been part of Everand, a Scribd company, since June 2025.²⁰ In January 2025, its AI-generated year-end reader summaries produced offensive comments; Fable apologized and removed the summaries and two other AI features.²¹ Its current listing describes no feature as AI. The app shows ads; Plus, at $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year, removes them and adds advanced stats and custom weekly and monthly goals.²²
