3 ★ I love that I can mark books "not for me" and choosing story elements I like. Also the UI is pretty. Now for gripes: I would have liked to be able to import my goodreads list. It's not exactly huge, but the prospect of having to add several hundred books manually is a bit of a deal breaker. Especially when linking within the app doesn't work as expected. For example, I wanted to add the Harry Potter series, but there wasn't anywhere to click that would show a page w/ all the books in the series.

1 ★ There's so many books missing. A lot of the cover pics are blurry? You can't add dates when you've read the books, you can't order your shelves in anyway they just randomise, just not a whole lot of options here, nothing really. basically a Goodreads wannabe that needs to try a lot harder.

1 ★ I keep searching books to add and the sloth doesn't have them. Most of the books listed in the "discovery" section look like YA. Also there's fiction books listed under the 'history' genre. Deleting for now till more books and authors become available to list or search.

5 ★ I'm loving this app! The visuals are beautiful, and the app itself is easy to navigate. I'm hoping the tech team fixes some of the minor snags, but otherwise it's all perfect. ♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎

4 ★ I wish you could add, the backup of goodreads reading information so it would be easy and ready to use. Awesome app keep up the good work ❤

5 ★ 5 stars because they added dark mode! Its recommendations have been really good so far! Otherwise, it's a flawless app for its purpose!

5 ★ 20 minutes in and I have already forgotten goodreads. Unlike GR it is user friendly AND I LOVE IT! It is a bit slow through but still 5★ worthy!

4 ★ Good app that is still in progress. I would love to see more features, especially importing books from Goodreads and a yearly reading challenge. I love the way recommendations work and how you are suggested friends with a similar taste in books. It's a great start and I hope with updates this could become incredible.

2 ★ This app is very incomplete compared to goodreads. Cute badges does not make up for the lack of a filtered search. It is incredibly difficult to find which books are popular or acclaimed. Very disappointing.

4 ★ I like the app but it would be nice to have the book designs and sizes to be very consistent especially when it comes to series because I'd would love them to be uniform (and their editions as well). If you could, do you mind adding grid view as an option as another way to display books? Let say, three or four books in a row? And the possibility to reply to other people's reviews and private message / group chat with them.

3 ★ Nice and clean UI. I like the discussion section, it's quick and easy place to ask, discuss and recommend books. Search function is clunky, I can't find some specific books, like "Sacred Cows by Karen Olson". Also you can't choose an edition of the book you own, so you can't really update properly your reading progress. API call is a little slow as well. Overall, a good app with a very good potential of becoming a great one. 3 ⭐ for now.

3 ★ 9/10 of every book I've tried to add isn't in the system. As long as nothing comes up it lets you suggest a book, but it becomes tedious quickly. It brings up a survey in your web browser that you answer thr title/author of the book you want added. What it should do is allow you to add books using it's ISBN, and have a moderator vetify it before it goes live. That would mean users do the leg work, and moderators just confirm it.

2 ★ Hi team! I loooove this idea so much. I am running into issues everywhere though. In the profile screen I can't modify my name and I get an error message every time I attempt to add a photo. The only screen thats not empty is the community screen. The discover and upcoming screens just show that there's no upcoming books for my genres even though I have all of them selected. As I said above, yes! I want this app to be a thing and be a success. Can we work out the bugs though?

3 ★ I think this app can be really great! But I think some of the issues need to be worked out. One issue is searching for authors or clicking on an author's name doesn't pull up a comprehensive list of their books. Even many of the most popular aren't there. (Like for Holly Black, none of her popular books are there.) It's also hard to find books in a series, which is important for a book app. I think if these issues are addressed, this app can be really awesome!

4 ★ I feel like this app is more suited to fiction readers specifically. I uninstalled it after 5 minutes of trying to find random books I've read lately (non-fiction, science/history) and not finding a single one. So it just wasn't useful for me. Edit: Seeing the devs' response, I'll be checking back in once the GoodReads import is an option (I wasn't looking forward to looking up hundreds of titles, so this will be an incredibly helpful feature).
