The Best Book Tracker App for Reading Communities - Bookum

By Bookum Team, Jun 13, 2025

We often see on Reddit forums and chats what's the best book tracker app to track books and keep up with your reading goals?

So we would like to introduce ourselves to the party (well bookish community party at least).

Meet Bookum!

Here's what we believe: stories become important through community. In doing so, we built Bookum to be a great place to book track that's incredibly simple to use while connecting you to amazing book communities.

What Makes Bookum the Best Reading Tracker App

Book Tracking Made Simple – Organize your reading life without judgment. Track books you're currently reading, want to read, finished, and yes, a dedicated DNF (Did Not Finish) section. The best book tracker apps understand that life's too short for books that don't spark joy.

Detailed Book Reviews – Half-star and quarter-star book ratings (because the difference between 4 and 4.5 stars is real). Plus our two-tier book review system gives you both quick takes and deeper dives for your reading community (and helps authors from having their books bombed).

Book Notes & Annotations – Built-in book annotations for when you need to take notes or jot down why that plot twist hit different (also just for great quotes you want to remember). Perfect for book clubs and reading discussions.

Active Book CommunityJoin online book clubs that actually discuss books. Follow friends' reading journeys in our book community app. Share book reviews with people who get why you stayed up until 3 AM finishing a that fantasy novel (We are ready for book 4 Rebecca Yarros).
