  • I’m new to reading

    I’m new to reading and me and my buddies started a book club. None of us were readers. This app is great but other book suggestions would be cool and being able to buy books and audio books from here would be nice but neither of these is a deal breaker.

    App is easy to run the book club from
    Adding members
    Meetings
    Notes
    Books we want to read
    Polls to see what everyone wants to read next

    It’s great

    One thing, and I may not have found it is moving books from want to read to reading to read... I’m doing it manually now

    Have fun

  • Great features; can only get Better

    The app offers great tools but can benefit from some flexibility. Like allowing a meeting to be set and a title written for the meeting even if the Book is not searchable in the app database.

    Providing links or guides to running a book club, or guide questions to books in meeting / want to read queue, or a board where Bookclubz members can share practices or questions, would be an invauable resource.

    And a feature where members can share within the club or in their profile their favorite books per genre separate from the books they post in the club “want to read” list.

  • Great app - must have for book clubs

    We did everything by email before we got this app and honestly, this is so much better. We can keep better track of what we want to read, what we have read, and when the meetings are.

    One suggestion I’d have is that when you put a book in the “want to read” section, it’d be great if you could have a description of the book there.

  • I want to love this app

    Let me start with the highlights ofthe great concepts in this app...easy to navigate and search for titles, easy to invite new members, RSVP, create polls, and keep track of past reading selections. But i find it inconsistent in communicating information. You input your address and contact info and select “share with club members” and then it only conveys your phone number and email, even if you’re hosting the meeting. Why not automatically show your address so you don’t have to retype it each time? Why isn’t it easier to populate the poll from the book recommendation list? Why, when I ask for notifications from the group do I persistently see “no notifications” but I have 20 missed messages from the group 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • Best Book Club app ever!!

    I had the pleasure of beta testing this app when it first started and am such a fan of its functionality. It’s incredibly easy to use, links you to purchase the books your club is reading, sends notifications and reminders. Easy to communicate with the whole group without having a mass text message. Plus aesthetically, in my personal opinion, it’s the nicest looking app out there. I’ve never had it crash on me or anything like that. If you’re in the market for a book club app this is definitely the one.

  • It’s everything

    All the communication is done through this. No need to communicate through texting or emailing. You can list books you want to read here as well. Polls, meeting dates, messages, etc. It’s GREAT. Highly recommended!
  • Great app, needs another feature

    This app makes it super easy to organize and run a book club. But it needs a poll feature for members to select the next book. Having a way to agree or “like” someone’s book recommendations would also be helpful.
  • Pretty good

    Nice app to stay organized and see which books have been read or are in the queue. Easy to navigate and no frills.

    It would be cool if there were a way to post discussion topics and share links tied to each book (instead of just general messages).
  • Really nice and streamlined

    This app really helped streamline our club. We have 13 members and are all able to communicate without having to be on other social media sites. It keeps the most current meeting info at the top, displays a picture of the book and all correspondence regarding meetings, falls under that meeting post. It really helps to keep it organized. We love the photo section too! This is a well thought out app.

  • New to this

    I’ve only been playing with this a day or so, I think I like the set up on the webpage better so far. I know the app has only been out a few months so I’m sure updates are coming. I agree that there needs to be a spoiler alert option, the ability to take a picture of a page and highlight a quote and also the ability to reply to individual messages on the club message wall. I read there will be a video conference option in the future super excited about that.
