A reading tracker app with statistics for pages and books read

What a reading tracker with statistics should show you

If your question is “how many pages did I read, and how many books did I finish?”, look for an app that gives you at least:

• Pages read per day, week and month.
• Books finished, with the history of every one.
• A streak or consistency measure, so you can see whether reading is becoming a habit.
• A calendar of the days you read.
• Quick logging: if recording your reading takes more than a few seconds, you stop doing it.

How LectorApp logs your pages and books

1. Add the book: scan its ISBN barcode, search by title or author, or add it by hand with a photo of the cover.
2. Update your page whenever you read: LectorApp works out how many pages you added.
3. Finish the book and rate it: score it with ten stars and by category such as pace, characters or ending.
4. The book moves to Finished reads, with its cover and your rating.

Step by step, with video: how to log your reading, reading statistics, reading streak and monthly recap.

The statistics it shows

• Totals: books finished, total pages read and your current streak.
• Weekly and monthly view: pages read each day in a chart, with the total for the period.
• Reading calendar: the days you read are marked in green.
• Monthly recap: your pages, books, best streak and active days, compared with the previous month and ready to share.
• Stacked pages: your total pages turned into a tower and compared with real things, such as the height of a person.

Keep going: streak, daily goal and reminders

Statistics only help if you keep reading. That's why LectorApp includes three habit tools:

• Daily streak: every day you log reading adds one to your streak.
• Daily page goal: you choose how many pages and watch the bar fill up to “Goal reached!”.
• Reminders: pick your time and up to five a day. They're positive: instead of nagging you, they congratulate you once you've read.

How it differs from other apps

LectorApp focuses on page-level tracking and the daily habit. If you want a social network with book clubs or friends' recommendations, see the comparison with Goodreads and The StoryGraph.
