4 ★ Won't let me start a reading. Kept saying network error even when on wifi at home. -i emailed them and they were able to fix the technical errors and help me get it working right. So far so good! We are enjoying it and I love that the book we're reading has the PDF in our group available for us to read and mark up together virtually!
5 ★ After searching long and hard for a solution for our virtual book club, we're THRILLED with how well this app is working for us. We were hoping for a simple option as an alternative to Zoom and the like. We don't need all the bells and whistles the standard business platforms provide. It's worked better than we could have even imagined.
5 ★ Very good and helpful!
4 ★ This app is amazing for me and my best friend to read on together. But it doesn't give us notifications when either posts in the groups comment section. It will ding if we're in the app but the app badge has no notification thing
5 ★ Loved the app and the idea of the app. Sadly had too many people that do not understand tech at all and how to turn off all of the notifications. I think if you could sign in/up with Google or Facebook, it would help too.
