Booky Call is a revolutionary book discovery app disguised as a dating app. By combining the psychology and functionality of dating apps with a creative book review in the form of a "humanized" dating profile, we help readers swipe right and engage with books in an innovative way. Each book review crafted by our staff of writers reveals answers to questions such as: - Who should swipe right on me? - What are my most attractive traits? - What do I spend a lot of time thinking about? - What will we eat/drink on our first date? - Tell me about your book daddy/mama. Each review also contains a short clip of the audio book (if available) to help you make your decision of whether or not to take the book on a "date." Users can swipe right on books they are interested in and send the book to your Direct Messages to further engage with the book. You are then given the opportunity to purchase the physical, digital or audio version of the book. Enable your notifications and receive custom "Booky Calls" twice a week with up to three hand-selected books looking for a "book-up" based on your personal profile preferences. ## Key features - Dating app-style book discovery - Humanized book profiles - Audiobook clips - Direct messaging with books - Personalized "Booky Calls" - Purchase options for books ## Recent user reviews (10 of 41) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/booky-call-book-discovery/id1585746170/reviews.md ### 3/5 — Great app- *2026-03-30, version 1.6.0* Loved this last year, forgot about it for a bit and came back now it’s all glitchy. I’m very sad. ### 2/5 — Premise is great but missing so many books *2025-11-09, version 1.6.0* Even the popular series are missing, like: from blood and ash, throne of glass, anything further than book 1 of a court of thorns and roses etc ### 2/5 — It was fun while it worked! *2023-03-14, version 1.6.0* It was a fun app but suddenly doesn’t work anymore. Somehow I was logged out and it won’t let me sign back in or change my password. ### 4/5 — Fun app *2022-12-15, version 1.5.8* It’s basically a dating app for books. I basically only read romance so The only thing I say is I wish you could put whether you want a spicy story and how spicy, a happy one, a sad one things like that but it’s a fun app ### 4/5 — Cute but Buggy *2022-11-05, version 1.5.6* The “swipe history” is a little buggy, but I love this concept. Also it’s hard to say how much it actually learns from your swipes. ### 4/5 — Great Recommendations *2022-08-28, version 1.5.3* I’m really loving discovering all these great recommendations. I like the aesthetic of the app the way you can swipe like a dating app. It’d be great if you could mark books as already read. Or go a step further and be able to rate books to get better recommendations. ### 1/5 — Can’t use the app yet but hopeful *2022-08-13, version 1.5.3* It’s not letting me sign up it just keeps giving me an error message, and when I try to take a tour before signing up it just immediately closes and crashes. i’ve heard wonderful things about this app so I hope that I can sign up and use it soon because I’m very hopeful. Once I can figure out how to get it to work I will come back and change my review because I genuinely believe in leaving an honest review for things ### 3/5 — Cute concept for book recs *2022-07-21, version 1.5.3* But every ‘match’ sends the same (I’ll be honest, rather cringe) “omg, thanks for swiping on me, sliding into your DMs.” Good to stumble on titles I might not have otherwise heard of though. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-07-07, version 1.5.2* Love this app! ### 5/5 — Great way to browse! *2022-07-03, version 1.5.2* This app is adorable; it’s a great way to expand your horizons if you have a favourite genre or two and are not sure what book to pick up next. The fact that it sends you where you can purchase the book is awesome as well! A must for any book lover. ## Frequently asked questions about Booky Call ### What is Booky Call?
