      Goodreads Alternatives: 9 Similar iPhone Apps in 2026

      By App Store Tracker Editorial · Updated May 25, 2026 — live App Store data verified 1 min ago

      The short version

      Goodreads tracks what you read, shelves your library, and connects you with reading friends. The strongest alternative is StoryGraph, which imports your Goodreads data in minutes and adds far deeper stats and mood-based recommendations. If you want a clean, ad-free tracker without the social layer, Reading List and Book Tracker handle shelves and progress well. Pick based on whether you want community, analytics, or just a tidy private log.

      People look for Goodreads alternatives when the dated interface, ad-heavy feed, or clunky search wears thin, or when they want better reading stats and recommendations. Goodreads reviewers ask for half-star ratings, multi-select shelving, and personalized suggestions, gaps these picks try to fill. Every app below shares Goodreads' core: a personal library, reading progress, and shelves of read, reading, and want-to-read titles. We ranked them by embedding similarity to Goodreads' feature set, then weighed live App Store ratings and review counts so the more established, better-reviewed apps surface first. Ratings shift, so use the order as a starting point and try one that fits your reading style.

      1. 1StoryGraph: Reading Tracker icon

        #1StoryGraph: Reading Tracker

        The StoryGraph

        Paid
        90% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        StoryGraph is the most common Goodreads replacement, and reviewers say importing all their Goodreads data was easy. Both track your library, log progress, and let you rate and review, with StoryGraph adding mood-based picks, advanced search, and reading challenges Goodreads lacks.

        How it differs

        StoryGraph leads on stats and recommendations but its social side is thinner, users want a more shareable, photogenic profile like Letterboxd's, and it does not auto-sync with Kindle the way Goodreads does. Its 4.48 rating trails Goodreads' 4.81, partly from its small team's slower feature pace.

        4.7(33)
        Paid
        90% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Reading Tracker focuses on the habit side of what Goodreads does, setting daily, weekly, or monthly goals and auto-updating book status as you log pages. Both track progress and celebrate finishing books, with charts and a reading heatmap. It rates 4.7.

        How it differs

        Reading Tracker is a personal goal-and-streak tool, not a social network, so there are no friends, feeds, or community reviews like Goodreads has. It is a paid app with only 33 ratings, so it is far smaller and aimed at solo motivation rather than discovery.

      3. 3BookOwl: Reading Tracker icon

        #3BookOwl: Reading Tracker

        Phil Getzen

        Paid

        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        BookOwl organizes your reading life with a personal library, progress tracking, reviews, and stats, covering Goodreads' core jobs. Both let you build shelves and write reviews, and BookOwl adds a customizable profile with reorderable stat tiles. Its 4.88 rating tops Goodreads' 4.81.

        How it differs

        BookOwl is deliberately ad-free with no data harvesting, a direct answer to Goodreads reviewers tired of ads in the feed. It is a small, newer app with only 33 ratings, so its community and book database are far smaller than Goodreads'.

        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Book Tracker & Reading Journal handles the tracking Goodreads is praised for, custom shelves like Currently Reading, Want to Read, and Completed, plus progress logging and stats. Both keep your personal library organized and accessible. It rates 4.88.

        How it differs

        This is a private journal-style tracker without Goodreads' friends, feeds, or community ratings. With only 8 ratings it is brand new and unproven, so you trade Goodreads' huge social database for a clean, personal logging experience.

        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Reading List is a focused book tracker with barcode scanning, online search, custom lists, and start and finish dates, matching the tracking Goodreads reviewers value most. Both let you plan a TBR and order what to read next. At 4.82 with 29,054 ratings it is the most proven pick here after StoryGraph.

        How it differs

        Reading List keeps things private and offline-friendly with iCloud sync and no social feed, where Goodreads centers on community and friends' activity. It answers the multi-list and clean-tracking requests Goodreads users make, but offers no discovery or reviews from others.

        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Book Reading Tracker covers Goodreads' tracking basics, logging current reads, monitoring progress, and showing personalized stats on pages read and books completed. Both turn your reading into visualized insights over time.

        How it differs

        This is a solo stats-and-progress app with no community, feeds, or shared reviews like Goodreads has. It is a paid app with no App Store ratings yet, so it is entirely unproven next to Goodreads' large, established user base.

      7. 7Reading Log: Book Tracker icon

        #7Reading Log: Book Tracker

        Dimitry Vinogradov

        5.0(5)
        Paid
        89% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Reading Log organizes books into Reading Now, To Be Read, and Finished, and surfaces trending titles and recommendations, sharing Goodreads' shelving and discovery roles. Both help you know what to read next and keep your library tidy.

        How it differs

        Reading Log is a simple personal tracker without Goodreads' friends and social feed. With only 5 ratings it is a tiny, early app, so its trending lists and recommendations draw on a far smaller base than Goodreads' millions of readers.

      8. 8bookie - Reading Tracker icon

        #8bookie - Reading Tracker

        LM Bookie GmbH

        4.6(5)
        Free · IAP
        89% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        bookie builds a reading routine with goals, progress tracking, barcode scanning, recommendations, reviews, and even live reading sessions, overlapping much of what Goodreads does. Both let you create lists, track progress, and write reviews. It rates 4.6.

        How it differs

        bookie adds in-app book buying with free shipping in Germany, pointing to a Europe-first focus, and its live reading sessions are a community feature Goodreads lacks. With only 5 ratings it is very small, so its library and social reach are limited next to Goodreads.

      9. 9Reading Tracker Pro: Book Log icon

        Paid
        89% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Reading Tracker Pro leans into the detailed analytics Goodreads users keep requesting, session timers, best reading days, fastest genres, and per-session page averages, on top of a full library of read, reading, and want-to-read books. Both organize your collection and progress.

        How it differs

        Reading Tracker Pro is a stats-obsessed solo tool with no social layer or shared reviews like Goodreads has. It is a paid app with no App Store ratings yet, so it is unproven, but it directly targets readers who found Goodreads' stats too shallow.

      How we ranked these 9 alternatives

      Embedding similarity

      Every app in our database carries a dense vector embedding derived from its title, subtitle, full description, and category metadata. To find apps similar to Goodreads: Book Tracker & More, we compute cosine distance against every other app and surface the closest 60 candidates. The similarity score shown on each pick is 1 - distance/2 clamped to [0,1] — 100% means the embedding spaces are identical, 0% means orthogonal.

      Re-ranking signals

      We then re-rank the candidate set using current App Store rating and review-count signals so a 4.8-star app with 100,000 reviews ranks above a 4.5-star app with 200 reviews even when their embedding distance is similar. Apps that haven't shipped an update in 12 months are filtered out before re-ranking.

      Refresh cadence

      The similarity cache is recomputed weekly. Live App Store data (rating, review count) is verified every 6 hours.
