Mobile app for readers

[nf-reader]

Hi,

I’m a big lover of non-fiction books, and need your advice here.
I’m currently writing a mobile app, which helps to organize / store valuable information which we read.
I was doing it for myself initially, but now want to share with others and collect their opinions in order to make it better.

Would it be permitted to share such information within this group?

Thanks!

Got no responses, so probably I just share it here...

It is not a general purpose note taker application (like Evernote, or Google docs), but targeted specifically for book readers.

With the help of OCR, it is possible to scan and recognize text from paperback books, so hopefully it helps to make notes quickly.

For now it is only available in Google Play for Android devices, but I’m planning to release to Apple Store soon as well. It is called Readult.

It is completely free, and contains no ads: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ormata.readult

I would like to get some help from this community in order to understand if such tool meets their needs, and ways to improve.

Thanks!

I don't read a lot of non-fiction, so I'm not in your core audience, but the first thing which struck me when looking at the screenshots and description is that I'd want to define my own categories.

I'm also not sure if the user can add their own notes, or only save quotes from the text?

Hi hildea, thanks a lot for your feedback!

Users absolutely can add their own notes (by typing them in, or scanning a paperback book page, and then the system recognises the text and lets you select a fragment for a note).

As for categories: there are currently four of them (regular notes, ideas, questions, and "mind blown"), but I may of course let users add their own as well.

Cheers!
