The Cantina Archive Customer Service

I had been following this app’s development for a while online, and was very excited once it was released. It is a simple concept, but it allows me to track what I have and haven’t read and to discover new books I haven’t heard of before. I also love that it has upcoming releases so I can keep on top of new books coming out. Yes, there are minor bugs and missing titles, however the developer is very good at keeping people in the loop on what’s being updated and listening to feedback, and so I don’t feel it is necessary to reflect these things in the rating. This is a must-have for those wanting to keep a simple and clear record of their Star Wars reading.

I downloaded this app to keep track of my Star Wars books, and it does so excellently! You can look at the canon or Legends timelines of the books in your collection separately, or you can go to their master timeline, containing all books currently listed on the app, where your books will be highlighted alongside those not in your collection. I wish there was an option to just look at your own master timeline, without including the books not in it, but this is perfectly acceptable as well! You can search by series name for some series (such as The New Jedi Order or Legacy of the Force) but not for others (such as the Thrawn Trilogy). They’re missing some books, but they have a section where they show they’re always adding more and an email address to contact them to let them know any titles they’re missing. Almost all of the books here are novels; they claim to also list comics/graphic novels, but I haven’t found any. They also don’t contain things which belong neither to the canon or Legends timelines, such as Emma Mieko Chandon’s Visions’ novel “Ronin” or any guide books such as “Star Wars: Atlas” or the “Essential Guide to Warfare”. While these books obviously can’t be included in either timeline, I wish they had their own section. I think this app still has some work that needs to be done, but it’s definitely a tool that I’ll be using!

Last year I started reading Star Wars books. As a life long fan, I wish I had done it sooner! This app is a great companion to keep track of books I own, in the format I own it, books I want, and a way to see which books fall into which part of timeline. The addition of comics has been great to see as well! They pay attention to detail and each update proves that they want to give a great product to its user. Cannot recommend this enough. 🙏

The app is a very fun idea and will keep me interested and adding my books for awhile. However, I immediately noticed gaps in the book selection, most notably the Tales from series. I also think being able to choose the cover art from different variants or even uploading your own cover would be neat. There should also be an option in the settings to hide descriptions of books. I got spoiled by a description while archiving my unread collection. I haven’t messed around with the app enough to understand everything but it’s a great little app, especially if your collection is split between physical and digital. Also, a question/suggestion; are there plans for omnibus or comics to be added?

Nice way to track my sw reads and what I’m looking forward to. However, still missing several features that would greatly increase usability: would be nice if clicking on collection stats would bring you to the list of books in that stats (list of owned, reads, wants etc). Would also be nice to have more than one book in currently reading, and also to be able to click on that book and be able to open the stars/comments tab directly. Just things that would greatly increase user experience, especially at the current price point of the app. Otherwise cool project, looking forward to what comes next!!

The app is pretty good so far. I can log all my Star Wars books in it and see the timeline. The only thing is, is that there hasn’t been any new features in a while so the app kind of gets boring to use. Besides that there hasn’t been anything wrong with the app. There are some missing titles but as long as the app stays updated they should be added in at some point.

The Cantina Archive is the most complete, and the more friendly app for any Star Wars book collector. It help you to track how many book and in which format you read them/ have them. Also it works as a tracker for how much of the book have you read. I recommend this app! It’s the best one!

I like this app and its design. It’s a great concept implemented well. It’s very early and there’s obviously room for improvement. I’ve noticed at least 14 missing legends novels already, which I’m sure is something they’ll work on. Also the gmail address listed on the help screen doesn’t exist. All things I hope to see fixed in the future. I will keep using it and await future updates!

This app has been so useful for tracking all of the canon star wars novels i’ve been interested in reading! There are a few missing titles but the dev has communicated that they will be added soon. Can’t wait too see the potential for this app and how many new books will be added soon!

I enjoy how easy it is to track all of the Star Wars books, both canon & legends! This has already proven helpful when trying to figure out which books I’m missing while I’m out shopping to add to my collection.

As someone who is new to the Star Wars book universe, this app has been incredible helpful in helping me find my next read, and track my journey. Thank you to the developer for creating it!

I’m so glad this app exists. I was really excited when I saw the announcement. I just downloaded it and noticed many canon books are missing from the timeline. Are the missing books going to be added in the future?

This app is a must have. Whether you are interested in reading Star Wars books and unsure where to start, or you’re a collector, this is the app you’re looking for!

This app is a nice way to keep a record of your readings and collections and also to share it with others hehe

For only just launching, this app has tons of value already and it’s only going to get more. A must have for Star Wars book collectors!

Really nice, clean format, excited to finally be able to keep track of my reads!!

It’s a great app, however, there’s a lot of stuff that isn’t in here yet. ):

This is a great idea for an app, but it has a few issues to iron out. I'm sure I'll be able to update this to 5 stars in no time

Off to a great start. Thank you for putting in the time and effort. Keep going! The app is awesome!!!

Great tool to keep track of my SW book collection!

Comics and Junior novels But lots potential and fire all btw

Obligatory praise for the idea: this app is a great idea and i’m excited to see it develop. gripes: the collection system could use refinement. you are unable to set a book as “currently reading” if you don’t add it to your collection. to add it to your collection, you have to set it to “owned,” “read,” “listened,” or “want.” i take the middle to mean “already finished,” and people can read things that they do not own. ergo, you can’t set a borrowed book as your current read unless you stretch the truth, which flies in the face of the purpose of logging. furthermore, if you turn all four settings off after any were turned on, you’re given the message “this book is no longer in your collection” and you’re ejected, forcing you to find it again.

UX of the app is pretty cumbersome. Neat idea but took me a little bit to figure out how to see the full catalogue without searching for a title. Hard to add books to collections because it’s not sorted how I’d like it and mixes books from other eras when I am able to search in release order. Once I go to my own collection it’s all smushed together with no real information / data on the first screen under owned or want etc. personally I regret the purchase.

I love the idea of this app, but it was not ready for release. Scrolling titles isn’t intuitive. A large number of books are missing. Some of the cover art is low quality and, in one case, there was a picture of the title page INSIDE the book instead of the cover. I’m excited to see the finished product but this isn’t it.

I really wish the junior novels, comics, and audiodramas were on here. I feel like there’s a lot that I left out of my log
