About Hootperch
Reading, but make it fun. HootPerch is your reading companion - a place to track every book you read, test what you remember, and discover what kind of reader you really are. Whether you finish one book a year or fifty, HootPerch turns your reading life into something you can see, share and be proud of. YOUR READING DNA HootPerch analyses your reading habits and preferences to reveal your unique Reading DNA - a combination of one of 8 reader archetypes (like Adventure Explorer or Wisdom Seeker) and 6 reading styles (like The Deep Diver or The Steady Pacer). It’s personality typing, but for how you read. Your DNA evolves as your tastes do. BOOK MATCH SCORE Before you start a new book, see how well it fits you. Every book gets a personalised compatibility score based on your history, genres and reading style. Tap “Why this score?” to see the full breakdown, so you always pick your next read with confidence. CHALLENGES THAT REWARD CURIOSITY Finish a book, then take a timed AI-generated quiz to see how much stuck. Every challenge earns you an animal totem ; from Frog to Elephant - reflecting your reading strengths. Compete against other readers of the same book, retry to improve, and unlock achievements along the way. STACKS Bundle your favourite books into shareable collections. Name your Stack, share the code, and let anyone import the whole list instantly. Perfect for book clubs, themed recommendations or “best of” lists. EMOTION RATINGS, NOT STARS Forget 1 to 5. Rate books by how they made you feel, inspiring, lovely, amazing, emotional, boring or sucks. See how the community felt too. STATS THAT TELL YOUR STORY A redesigned statistics dashboard tracks your streaks, reading pace, genre evolution, monthly comparisons, emotion heatmaps and more. See your progress over weeks, months and years, all in one place. READING WRAPPED Your reading journey in five shareable cards - the numbers, the identity, the highlights. Save them to your camera roll or post them to social. FIND AND BUY YOUR NEXT READ The Owl Wizard recommends books by mood, genre, occasion and more. When you find one you love, buy it or listen as an audiobook through Amazon, Bookshop.org, Kobo, Waterstones, Hive and other partners - right from the app. SCAN YOUR SHELF Point your camera at a bookshelf to add multiple books at once. HootPerch detects covers and matches them to titles automatically. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from five visual themes to suit your mood - from classic light to Midnight Navy and cosy Winter mode. BUILT FOR EVERYONE HootPerch works for children, teens and adults. Books flagged as 18+ are tastefully blurred until you choose to reveal them. Available in English, French, German and Spanish. FREE TO START Log books, set goals, rate with emotions and take up to 8 challenges a month- all free. Upgrade to Full HootPerch for unlimited challenges, an unlimited bookshelf and the Owl Wizard. A perch, not a pressure. Progress matters more than perfection. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
