Keep your current reads and most treasured references at your fingertips. Discover how to mark titles with the favorite heart icon for instant one-tap filtering in GemReader.
Why Favorite Your Books?
In every personal library, there are a handful of titles you return to constantly: a reference handbook for work, a novel you read every evening before bed, or an active research monograph for a current class.
Rather than digging through folders or typing search queries every time you open the app, favoriting a book puts it into your personal top tier. With a single tap on the heart filter, your bookshelf filters immediately to display only your essential titles.
What You'll Need
To favorite your books, ensure you have:
- Platforms: GemReader installed on your Android or iOS device.
- Prerequisites: At least one book imported into your library.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Open GemReader to your Library view.
- Touch and hold the cover of the book you want to prioritize, or tap the ⋮ three-dot menu icon on its card.
- In the action sheet that appears, tap Add to Favorites (marked with a heart icon).
- A warm heart badge will appear on the book cover corner, confirming that it is marked as a favorite.
- To view all your favorited titles in one place, tap the Favorites pill (with the heart icon) in the library toolbar directly beneath the main header.
- Tap the Favorites pill again at any time to return to your complete library.
Helpful Tips & Common Questions (Librarian's Advice)
- Batch Favoriting: If you have several books to favorite at once, long-press the first book to enter multi-select mode, tap additional titles, and tap the heart icon in the top selection bar to mark them all in one step.
- Persistent Across Collections: A book remains marked as a favorite even if you move it between nested collections or subfolders.
- Un-favoriting Finished Titles: When you complete a reading project and wish to rotate your shelf, simply long-press the book card and tap Remove from Favorites.
