Books

Track your reading with book lists, favourites, and reading notes.

What It Does

The Books app helps you organise your reading life. You can track books you have read, what you are currently reading, and what you want to read next. Your mate uses this information to give you personalised book recommendations and remember your reading preferences.

Memories (available):

  • Favourite Books – Save books you love with the author, genre, your personal rating, and notes about why you liked them.
  • Currently Reading – Track books you are in the middle of, with start dates and reading notes.
  • To Read List – Keep a list of books you want to read, with reasons why they caught your interest.

How to Use It

  • Save a favourite: “Add ‘Sapiens’ by Yuval Noah Harari to my favourites – I rate it 5 out of 5”
  • Track reading: “I just started reading ‘Project Hail Mary’ by Andy Weir”
  • Get recommendations: “Based on my reading list, what should I read next?”
  • Add to wishlist: “Add ‘Dune’ by Frank Herbert to my to-read list”

Tips

  • Save your favourite books with ratings and notes so your mate can give better recommendations.
  • Your reading data is encrypted and only shared when you give permission.
  • You can ask for book recommendations even without saving any data – your mate can suggest books based on topics you describe.
  • Study – Track learning goals related to your reading
  • Web – Search for book reviews and summaries
