won’t let me create an account
filled out the “sign up” page like a billion times, deleted and redownloaded the app to retry. Once I fill everything in to create an account and try to go to the next page, I click the button and a little loading symbol pops up then absolutely nothing happens. No errors or feedback of any sort. There’s options to sign in with Apple/Facebook/Google, but no option to sign up with any of those. Tried to go to their webpage and make an account there to then just log in on the app and it just directs me to get the app, no option to sign in/up on the mobile webpage.

Can not make an account
I can not make an account when I try to I am meet with a spinning wheel that after a big goes away without doing anything the app sounds interesting but I can’t access it
It will not let me make an account
Every time i try it says wrong password or it doesn’t even load. How can it be the wrong password if Im creating an account/signing up? Too many glitches!
Love but having problems
I really love this app but about a week ago I was logged out for some reason. When I try to log back in with my google account I just get a loading screen and then nothing happens. This is the only way I know to get a hold of the developers and I’m hoping they can help me
Doesn’t work anymore
App closes every time I try to log in. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and logging in again. It still didn’t work. I enjoyed using it when it worked. Hope it gets fixed.
I don’t have the patience for this …
I’ve been waiting 3 days for it to import my data from goodreads. Since I started the import I cannot do anything else on this app. If anything even loads it crashes. I don’t understand. If we can’t upload from goodreads don’t give it to us as an option. I hope they fix the bugs because I’d like to see what this app is all about!

Have problems loggin with facebook
I try to loggin with Facebook and sent me a message of implementation problem
Crashes
App has crashed five times in the last few minutes. Won’t update my profile info- I enter it and save, it reverts to the original text.
“Personal recommendations” not very personal
I downloaded this in hopes of finding an app that offered actual personal recommendations based on books that I’ve liked and rated highly. This says that it gives you personal recommendations, but looking through the list they do not look very personal at all… they are mostly newly released books that have one rating.
I’m also not a fan of the “discover” section, which prioritizes genres that are not genres I’m interested in.
When searching, many of the books I’ve read and searched for don’t even appear in the results. Also in relation to the searches, when i type in the exact title, the book doesn’t appear until the 4th or 5th result… again, appearing to prioritize new books with fewer reviews.
I think this app would be great for someone who is looking for new release recommendations. I think the discussion feature is a cool idea with a lot of potential, but more reviews are needed to make this useful.

It has potential
I was looking for something alternative to Goodreads and found BookSloth. I really enjoy the UI, however, there’s definitely room for improvements. Also, the app keeps crashing when I click on a recommended user? I hope that can be fixed. I would like to be able to view their profile before following. Additionally, I cannot wait for the website to FULLY FUNCTION.
I hope more readers discover BookSloth for a wider community.

Impossible to import Goodreads library
App will not move up after file is loaded from Goodreads to import file. Thought I’d try to manually put in books and none of my very well known books are found. I give up. The positive was the way you could possibly look for a new book to read but that’s it. App definitely needs work.
To book sloth
Hi I’m new to book sloth and I can’t seem to figure out how to read books can you help me please to figure but overall book sloth it’s amazing it has tons of books you can read and search
Great app for readers
Love this app. I love talking about my books with others
Sleek Design & Great Overall
BookSloth is an amazing app from how it feels when you sign in the first time, clean, fast and simple. Just as this application should be in my opinion, I have been wanting an app just like this! It does need some more people though chat rooms are smaller than some should be so John now!
Potential
I’m excited for the potential of this app. As other reviewers have said, the books available are *severely* limited. since I want an alternative to goodreads so badly, and because I admire the work being done, I’m willing to stick around through the growing pains. I assume building a huge database is a lot of work but I hope they’re able to get it to the size of goodreads.

potential but not usable currently
i downloaded it looking for an alternative to goodreads (because goodreads looks so bad and looks like it was made in 2014). i don’t enjoy goodreads recommendations either, as it really caters to really popular books, rather than catering to the users genuine taste. i’ve been attempting to find an app that would be updated on new and anticipated books, as well as book lists, and recommendations. this has a lot of potential, although i attempted to log in my goodreads library and a majority of them haven’t been added in yet. i understand that it’s currently in beta right now but i’m hoping book lovers will move over to this once it’s available and out of beta! i’m excited for a different platform thats new and looks refreshing!

Love the app
I think this app is great, is obviously similar to goodreads but i love the style so much better. Unfortunately this is a small community with the app right now, so I SINCERELY hope more people will start using it. It has challenges too so thats always fun. The only thing i can say i dont really like is that it only has maybe half my bookshelf, so you’ll have to suggest a book (in the app you can suggest books for them to post so you can add it to your collection) just so that way you can search it to add it. Other than that its a really great app i hope the community grows too.

Not worth it.
This app is just getting worse. It crashes when adding books and when loading member profiles. I’ve been given awards I haven’t earned. the search isn’t working and even when it was you still couldn’t find books because the list was completely unorganised and most of them aren’t on there at all. They say they upload books every few days but it’s been months and the books that are requested aren’t being added.
