5 Must-Have Apps for All Book Lovers
There’s a whole new world of apps that give you an experience unlike what reading a paperback offers.
All you need is your phone.
Even if you’ve left your Kindle behind, you can pick right back up where you left off, on the Kindle app.
You can also try social networking apps dedicated to bookworms and use smart apps to find your next read!
Here are some great choices for both iOS and Android.
Blinkist
Blinkist is an app for professionals who want to learn but don’t have time to read. The app provides key points along with the entire gist of a book in 15 minutes. Each summary of the book is called a blink, and you can either read or listen to it.
Litsy
Litsy is yet another social media literature app, but with a visual twist. It’s Instagram for books. Litsy is a user-friendly app where you can post photos of your book moments and also become an influencer.
It lets you share your favorite books with friends and family and post reviews on books you’ve read. Take part in discussions or find the relevant topics using specific hashtags.
Inkitt
Inkitt is an app specifically designed for reading fiction, and consists largely of indie writers. It covers only a few fiction genres like romance, fantasy, sci-fi, and similar. The app is beautiful to look at and a joy to use.
Unlike Goodreads, the app is purely for reading and does not run a social network. The company behind the app is a publishing house that helps a writer publish their novel.
The reading experience is well thought-out as well. It monitors your monthly and weekly reading stats, shows a history of the books you have read, and can create a list of the ones you want to read.
Serial Reader
Serial Reader makes reading simpler. It’s a perfect app for both newbies and avid readers alike. The app gives you classic literature to read every day in 20-minute bite-sized pieces.
If you find it difficult to focus on reading a book for a long time, use this app to form a daily reading habit. Since reading 19th-century works can be daunting, this app breaks it down just into the right amount of words per day.
Leio
Leio is the best reading tracker for iPhone. It’s the easiest way to pen down everything related to your book reading stats.
In one place, you can keep track of multiple books you’re reading. The app has a time tracking feature as well, so you can see exactly how long it took you to finish a book.
Once you’ve added the data, Leio helps you analyze your reading patterns too. You can use the Goals feature to plan your reading marathons, improve your reading time, and unlock achievements.
Leio has a modern interface that’s easy to use. Leio is a great alternative book tracker.
