Response from developer

This reply is long overdue! But thank you so much for the positive feedback. We know we don't always have the shiny bells and whistles of other book apps, but we do try to make the basic functionality really good and as intuitive as possible. Glad that ethos coming through to our users :)

Unusable

I really liked the idea of this app, but the broken UI makes it unusable. It’s impossible to login on my phone, and the iPad app cuts off half of what’s on screen. I really wish it worked :(

Thanks for the feedback Madi, we’re glad you’re enjoying it. We’ll keep working hard to bring you new features and improvements - happy reading!

Genre options pointless

I wanted to try to find more books like ones I’ve read using a swiping system for ease of use. However I’ve noticed that i still get a lot of genres I’ve not selected and the options aren’t very up to par with my taste yet but will keep trying

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the feedback. We do our best to recommend quality books from our users' preferred genres, but we're learning that even within genres, there is enormous variety in tastes. We are constantly working on our recommendation algorithm to improve on this. For many of our books, we have curated a "More like this" section, so you could also try searching for books you have loved and scrolling down in the book details page to see other books that are similar to it. Hope that gives you some joy!
