### 1/5 — U

*2025-03-30*

Do not let me make a account

**Developer response:** Hey there! Sorry for the interruption in service, but this has been fixed. Please feel free to sign in and try it out!

### 4/5 — Great! Except…

*2025-04-11*

This is a great app and has all the features I want for logging and finding books. Glad I don’t have to rely on software run by a certain river/rainforest-named corporation. 

The only issue is that I only get recommendations once per day, and I can’t re-load to get new ones. ALSO the app crashes when I try to set a content rating (g, pg, pg13, r, etc) in my reading profile

**Developer response:** Greetings fellow reader! Yes the recommendations happen every 24 hours. I’ve been toying with the idea of on demand though.

Also, there was an issue with setting your desired content rating in settings, but I believe it’s been resolved since your comment.

Thank you for enjoying the app! Lots more planned for it.

### 5/5 — Super helpful, love the look

*2023-12-05*

I really appreciate how quickly and easily I can look up a book and get a good feel for what it’s about and whether it’s going to have themes that I want to avoid. Right now I mostly use it to check books that my kids are going to be reading and as a homeschool mom this app has been such a help. 
I especially have loved the barcode scanner while digging through huge piles of books at the thrift store!
And a real bonus for me is the aesthetic - the look of dark AND light modes make this app a pleasure to use all around.
