### 5/5 — Keeps it all organized

*2026-08-05, version 3.0.107*

I love this app. It reminds us what the book is gives us lots of notice about our meetings and let us rate the rate it as a group

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-07-26, version 3.0.107*

I love this app for my book club! I appreciate that even in the free version I’m able to see discussion questions to help facilitate and lead discussion. It’s fun to be able to read the book. See when book club is going to meet. And to add books that we want to read.

### 5/5 — Best App on earth

*2026-07-26, version 3.0.107*

This app facilities real community and great times like no other I’ve seen. Perfect app for attending and managing public Bookclubs. Great for making friends

### 1/5 — Terrible App for Organizing

*2026-07-26, version 3.0.107*

I just moved my book club group from Meetup, and as an organizer, I have found every part of it frustrating.

1) Barely any good features with the Premium version. There’s not even an “Add to Calendar” feature, which is standard on most event apps. The lack of features at that pay level makes organizing a group unnecessarily difficult. 

2) “Pro” bating at every turn. I’d go to do something and it would let me do the steps and then when I tried to Submit, it’d tell me I had to upgrade. 

3) Even the emails are click-bait. Got an email to upgrade to Pro at half price only to find that I had to give them money upfront to upgrade at a prorated rate and then I’d get half priced when I RENEWED in a year.

I’m glad I only shelled out $60 for Premium instead of getting Pro. Though, I wish I hadn’t done that much.

I haven’t even had my first event and I’ve already cancelled the auto-renewal. 

What a disappointment. I had over 500 people in my Meetup group and this is a sad replacement for a thriving group.

### 5/5 — Bookclubs

*2026-07-25, version 3.0.107*

The best way to connect with friends

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-20, version 3.0.106*

Easy to use. Cross content from meetings to polls.  Suggest talking points for certain books. Easy to invite others to join.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-29, version 3.0.103*

This app has worked great for my book club. Even the free version has enough perks to well run a club, but the cheapest paid version does so much more to effectively manage my little group. It’s very useful for polls and meetings.

### 5/5 — Great but

*2026-06-28, version 3.0.103*

This app is a great platform for book enthusiasts that want to meet people that love reading. I can say I made a lot of friends and groups and all thanks to this app that made it happen. My only comment as a book club owner is that the fees are too expensive, I always consider signing up for premium but 90 dollars a year seems like a lot to pay at once, and the monthly fee is highway robbery. Otherwise love the app, the announcements are a hussle though.

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2026-06-28, version 3.0.103*

Good to be able to go to remind me what I am supposed to be reading!

### 5/5 — Great for my book club!

*2026-06-21, version 3.0.102*

Has cool and convenient features that have been helpful in my book club
