Oku: The companion app for your book shelf 📚

👍 Advantages of using Oku:

• Simple and minimalistic UI & UX blew me away!

• You can migrate all your Goodreads collections to Oku with just a few clicks.

• You can browse what everybody is reading even without following them. Good chance to find something you might not otherwise come across.

• It obviously has all the important features of Goodreads!

• I love their 'Reading goal' feature.

• You can create custom collections, i.e, Cook Books, Fiction, Non-Fiction, etc., for quick access.

• You can publicly share your collections with others. Browse my collection here.

• Love their dark mode!

• Unlock personal statistics like Number of books, number of pages, Languages, Authors, and more.

• They're serious about Data Privacy.

👎 Disadvantages of using Oku:

• Their paid plan is not so affordable for readers like me. I'm not a regular reader. I wish they had a more affordable yearly plan.

• The development process is really slow since it's an Indie team working on weekends and evenings. So, I cannot expect great features any time soon.

• I wish they had 'Groups' or something where fans can join a group and participate in the discussion.
