Fun idea to share books with friends
It was easy to set up. Still testing to see how it works with friends. For my purposes, this is ideal. I have another app where I catalogue my books and as much as I like to give custom recommendations to friends, sometimes I just want to hand them my book to look through my virtual library and this would be an easier way to just send to them: friends, coworkers, book club people that are not in my home.
I’ll send some feedback for hopefully a 2.0 on how I’d love to see easier ways to upload books or transfer a spreadsheet/app list. As well as a way to limit privacy in case some don’t want to open to the community and just have friends connect.

Privacy invading, difficult to use and no user base
This app is unnecessary complicated to set up, appears to collect insane amounts of personal data, and provides absolutely no value. Tbe premise seems to be to facilitate lending books among local neighbors. There is no mechanisim for the physical exchange of these books and no recourse if your property is stolen. Even worse, there are no local users, so no “lending library”.
My best guess is this is a deeply flawed business model in search of (gullible) investors. HARD PASS!!

Not something most people would want
There does not seem to be anybody much using this app, if at all. And while the idea of borrowing and lending books sounds good on the surface, most people in this day and age, do not want to meet and greet and borrow books from each other from strangers. people just want to get online buy a book and be done with it. Moreover, there are some navigation issues with the app. For example, the scanner does not seem to work well. I thought this might be something that I could use. But I don’t want to have another social media app built around books. And there is another issue that concerns me. And that is you could have someone say they have a book to lend you and it could create personal safety issues for you. Similar to the way, Facebook marketplace has done in similar apps.
