SquareWheel Software releases Next Read

Next Read – Overview

So there you are, standing in the aisle at the book store, trying to remember what books your friends told you that you should read.  Maybe you wrote them down on a piece of paper, maybe you use the Notes application to keep track, maybe you just try and remember.  

Enter Next Read.

With Next Read you can easily add and search for books when you hear about them, and then view your list when you are out shopping for books.  Simple and fast.

When you hear about a book, search for it.  Then select your source – where you heard about the book.  Perhaps you heard about it from a friend, a family member, or a podcast.  Your source selection weights, or scores, the book.  Each recommendation type can be weighted individually, making the scoring system entirely customizable.  I bet your Uncle Ron always recommends the best books ever – we’ll assign him a 5 – his recommendations will always float to the top.

After adding a book, what happens when you hear about it again, from another source?  No problem.  Bring the book up from your list and increase its score by adding another source.  All sources are saved, and you can browse your list by source later on.
