Good, but not a fan of the notifications
Overall this is a good app with many useful features. However, what I don’t like is when you go to the app to view your notifications, you have to click on ALL of them in order for the notification icon to turn off. Even though most of the notifications are a countdown of the # of days or weeks until our next meeting and I can see this without having to click on the messsge and then go back.Show lessdoobiewa
Navigation can be confusing, but still a great app
Navigating the various sections of the app isn’t entirely intuitive (at least not to me), but overall, this is a well-designed and fun app to use. There’s more than one place to message your book club friends, so if Messages could be streamlined into one location, I think that could help to make it less confusing. My book club has missed messages because some of us were posting in the “wrong” place.Show lessJannyJannersons

Thank you for this feedback. It sounds like potentially there was some confusion between using the club's message board and DMs? We are planning on updating our messaging functionality in the new year and would love to talk more to you about how to make it more intuitive - would you be able to email us at help@bookclubs.com?Bookclubs app
I find it easy to maneuver and for the most part it is very user friendly. My only complaint is that is does not allow you to agree on a choice from one club to another. Meaning it is not is easy to second a book suggestion in the same group as another person within that group as your are reviewing their choices.
You should be able to have a drop down menu to agree that you also want to read that book or have read that book instread of having to search it yourself and then wait for it to eventually pair it with the other persons suggestion. I also find the orange color scheme very drab and boring. It should be more vibrant or at least change with the seasons.
But as I mentioned, I do find it rather user friendly and the book selection is vast!! I also the love that it provides some tips and insights as well as warnings for spoiler alerts when someone is giving a partial review. 🥰.Show lessHeisters

Thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately I'm not quite following your suggestion about sharing book recommendations across clubs - would you be able to reach us at help@bookclubs.com to explain your idea further?
