The best book-tracking and review apps alternative to Goodreads in 2024

When Karen Ben-Moshe, a 43-year-old public health program manager in San Francisco, learned that Amazon owns Goodreads — the app she used to log her reading habits — she started hunting for an alternative.

“I just don’t love the monopoly Amazon has on our lives and our spending,” Ben-Moshe said.

Goodreads, which was acquired by Amazon in 2013, is one of the most popular book review apps. (Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post.) But as the app faces criticism for its buggy, outdated tech and poor content moderation, other options are rising in the ranks.
