Add My Book DNA to your home screen on iPhone and Android

Eventually, we will build full mobile apps for the Book DNA app. Until then we have a mobile friendly web page up that allows you to do the basics like:

• Log what you read
• Add what you are reading to or listening to now
• Add a book to your TBR
• And add notes about a book

Add the My Book DNA webpage to your phone’s home screen for quick access.
