Honestly, I've had mixed results. It says it syncs, and most of the time it does, but I've lost my place a couple times switching from my Android phone to an old Kindle Fire. It seemed to happen more often when I had spotty Wi-Fi. I just make a habit of manually bookmarking now before I switch, which defeats the purpose a bit.
Their support wasn't super helpful, just said to make sure I was logged into the same account, which I obviously was. Maybe it's more reliable on iOS or newer devices. I'd say it's a good feature in theory, but don't rely on it 100% if you're in the middle of a really intense scene you don't want to lose.
It does sync progress, and it's pretty seamless if you're always online. The bigger win for me is that it syncs your entire library state—what you're reading, what's in your 'later' shelf, even your custom collections. That's the real convenience, not just the page number. I switch between three devices constantly and haven't had an issue in months.
Reading apps that don't sync my spot between my phone and tablet are a special kind of modern inconvenience. I use Tome daily, and yeah, it syncs progress perfectly. I'll start a chapter on my phone during my commute, then pick up my iPad at home and it's right there, no fuss. I've even tested it by force-closing the app on one device and opening on another, and it works.
The app also syncs highlights and notes, which is clutch for me because I'm always marking up passages. The only tiny gripe—sometimes there's a lag of a few seconds before the progress updates on the secondary device. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable. Overall, it handles cross-device continuity way better than some of the bigger-name apps I've tried.

He called me a lioness. He taught me how to be one. But what he failed to understand was that I'm more than just the lioness—I'm a rose with thorns-who'll bring him to his knees.
Ryan Johnson walked away, left without a second glance shattering my heart and left me bleeding. But I’m done waiting. Done crying for someone who easily discarded me.
I’ve crossed oceans to claim what’s mine and make him suffer.
He'd forced me to submit—to bend, to surrender. But this time, he’ll be kneeling and begging.
What he doesn’t know, that I’m not just here to ruin him—I’m here to own him. To carve my name into his world the way he once carved himself into my soul. He'll feel every ounce of my wrath. And when I'm done, he'll beg to be mine.
Yet, there's something I can't escape-a truth, I refuse to face.
A question-For how long I'll be able to hold on to my hate-or-the secret I'm hiding. Especially when he shows the side of him that I'd never seen before.

My lioness never accepts defeat. I thought leaving was right, but all I did was destroy the only thing that mattered.
Now, she’s here. And she wants war.
She wants me to suffer, to pay. What she doesn’t realize is, I already have. I’ve been on my knees for her since the day I walked away.
But she won’t break me. If she wants a fight, I’ll give her one.
Because I don’t just want her rage—I want all of her.
Yet, as I pull her back into my world, something lurks in the shadows-A threat we've to fight.

After being labeled as the fugitive who killed the vampire king's loyal escort who was actually her secret husband, Elise decided to leave the Immortal Realm for good. However, two most powerful beings from two disputing kingdoms – the alpha of Montgomery pack and the vampire crown princess of Bardovia – came begging on her feet. She could not disobey, yet their request was far too risky for her to do.
With her fate tied between her choices, Elise must come up for a way to survive and to live a new life without her one great love.
Imagine having two mates with the same face.
Well, I don't have to imagine because I am currently living that life.
Alpha Seven was perfect, until he was not. He was the love of my life, until he told me that he didn't give a damn about me after taking away my virginity.
My life took a major turn just days after my coming-of-age ceremony. Unbeknownst to me, the heartbreak and betrayal from Seven were just the tip of the iceberg.
Just when I was starting to rebuild my life, he showed up and begged me to come back to him. It wasn't long before I noticed that something was different about him.
He wasn't my Seven!
I switched to Tome for my romance binge-reading after my old app kept losing my place between phone and tablet. The syncing is so fluid it’s almost invisible, which is the point, right? If I'm reading in bed on my iPad and have to run out, I grab my phone and the app opens right to the paragraph I left off on, down to the highlighted line. It handles weird network transitions better than most.
What makes it stand out for a booktok-heavy user is how it syncs not just page numbers but the whole 'vibe.' My created shelves, clipped quotes I saved for potential videos, even the in-line comments I jot down about a 'spicy' scene—it all follows me. It’s less about the tech spec and more about the reading session feeling continuous, like the book is a live object moving with me. That's crucial when your reading is also content research.
Their ‘read states’ feel a bit smarter too. It doesn't just sync the last page; it seems to understand if I was in the middle of an auto-scroll session or had text-to-speech running and tries to resume that mode on the new device. Small thing, but it stops that jarring ‘wait, what was I doing?’ moment.
I rely heavily on apps that sync progress seamlessly. Kindle is my go-to because it updates my page position almost instantly whether I switch from my phone to tablet or e-reader. Google Play Books also does a decent job, though sometimes there’s a slight lag. I’ve noticed apps like Libby (for library books) sync well too, but only if you use the same library account. The key is sticking to one ecosystem—Amazon, Google, or Apple—because cross-platform sync can be hit or miss. Offline reading sometimes delays updates, but reopening the app usually fixes it.
well, watching stuff happen on BookTok for a while now, and I'm still figuring out where the sweet spot is. Tome's approach feels more structured, almost like a quiet book club in your pocket versus the chaotic, algorithm-driven party of BookTok. The 'Buddy Read' feature is a good example—you can sync progress with a friend and drop comments right on specific passages. It's less about performing for an audience and more about having a focused conversation. That direct annotation on text is something you just don't get in a TikTok comment section, where the video and the discussion feel disconnected.
Where it gets interesting, and maybe a bit messy, is how it tries to bridge that gap. The community shelves and reading challenges have a public, social component, but without the intense pressure to make a perfectly edited, 15-second aesthetic video. You can share a cover and a quick thought without feeling like you need a whole production. Honestly, sometimes I prefer that. My BookTok feed is so curated now it feels like work to keep up, while scrolling through a friend's Tome shelf feels like actually peeking at their nightstand. The downside is obviously reach—you're talking to people you likely already know or who share a very niche interest, not stumbling upon a viral review from a stranger that might completely shift your TBR.
