about
READO operates a mobile application designed as a social network and digital bookshelf for book readers. The Frankfurt-based company was founded in 2019 by Andreas Weiser, Jonathan Mondorf (CEO), and Michael Pomogajko (CTO). The app's mission is to become a digital home for avid readers, bloggers, and authors, fostering a community built around a shared love for literature. The platform's core functionality allows users to track their reading progress, set goals, view detailed statistics, and manage their digital library. A key feature is its AI-driven recommendation engine, which analyzes a user's book library and reading tastes to suggest new titles with a percentage match score. The AI analyzes millions of book reviews to understand the motives, themes, and styles of over 500,000 books. Users can import their libraries from Goodreads, use a scanner to add physical books, and engage with the community through reviews and ratings. READO incorporates social features such as "BuddyReads," which allows users to read books together and exchange thoughts in a synchronized manner. The app is available for free on both iOS and Android platforms and can be used without registration, though an account is required to save data across multiple devices.
