### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2022-06-21, version 1.5.0*

Cool concept. Not a fan of the small database of books.

### 4/5 — Kinda cool

*2022-05-09, version 1.4.8*

This is a cool and fun app. It would be cool to be able to start by adding books you like. You can search but I was only able to find one book to add. I think their catalog is fairly small.

### 3/5 — Downsides

*2022-05-01, version 1.4.8*

This app is great! For finding straight romances. I’ve seen very few LGBT romances, even when I searched for more well known titles. Most of the books featured are cishet relationships, and that’s fine, but that’s not what I’m looking for

### 5/5 — Disruption in the book world.

*2022-02-27, version 1.4.5*

As an author and a marketer. This app is one of the greatest innovations to have been invented in the literary world since the ebook. They just launched and what I’ve seen up until this point is genius. A matchmaker for readers and books. Brilliant.

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2022-02-12, version 1.4.3*

This works exactly like a dating site but just with books. It’s really fun the way it’s set up and I’ve already found a couple of books I like the sound of

### 5/5 — If only dating were this fun…

*2022-02-05, version 1.4.3*

Such an odd and delightful app. I found this via TikTok and I have not been disappointed. My only complaint is that it’s made my reading list much much longer.

### 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

### 1/5 — Inaccurate recommendations

*2022-06-17, version 1.5.0*

I’m not sure why it asks for recommendations on genres if it doesn’t follow them.  I rated romance and mystery as genres I really don’t enjoy and somehow that is all I was recommended.

### 1/5 — Idea is Amazing, App is Garbage

*2022-02-08, version 1.4.3*

I can’t get the app to function so I guess I’ll never know how great it is.

### 1/5 — Glitchy!

*2022-02-08, version 1.4.3*

Nothing loads. I managed to create an account as soon as I go to match it gets a blank white screen. Can you add a feature to link it with good reads so the crm knows what you enjoyed? Could be amazing due to the idea but needs a lot of work

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-02-08, version 1.4.3*

Loads and then the screen turns white and nothing happens

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-11-15, version 1.3.0*

The app makes no attempt to learn what you like. Goodreads is better, a low bar.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Would be fantastic if not for the bugs

*2022-02-09, version 1.4.3*

I’ve been on the app less than 10 minutes and have encountered at least 20 pop up errors. Please fix this so I can keep swiping!

### 2/5 — Slow to load or won’t load at all

*2022-02-08, version 1.4.3*

Saw this was a thing from a post in a group on Facebook. I saw there there were people saying it was glitchy. But I downloaded it anyway hoping that the glitches were maybe their phone. The loading is very slow, if anything loads at all. I have my phone open and loading for 15 minutes and nothing showed. I was unable to set up any preferences and wasn’t even totally sure I was signed up. This is an amazing idea and I’ll keep the app in hopes there is an update and everything smooths out for it.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Hooked

*2022-03-06, version 1.4.5*

These profiles do an excellent job creating hooks for characters and plot.

### 5/5 — Addicted

*2022-03-06, version 1.4.5*

It's okay to be addicted to a dating app if you're dating books, right?

### 5/5 — Great matches for me

*2022-03-05, version 1.4.5*

I swiped through many potential matches and found most of them to be intriguing and well-selected.

### 5/5 — Hilarious

*2022-03-04, version 1.4.5*

Huge shoutout to your search algorithm for finding me so many gems.

### 5/5 — The book is talking to me!

*2022-03-04, version 1.4.5*

I swiped through many potential matches and found most of them to be intriguing and well-selected.

### 5/5 — The best puns!!

*2022-03-03, version 1.4.5*

I came looking for a one night stand and found several. Thankfully no one judges me when I date more than one at a time!!

### 5/5 — Approachable profiles

*2022-03-03, version 1.4.5*

A dating app that lets you match with books instead of people. HELLOOOO!!!

### 5/5 — Intimate

*2022-03-03, version 1.4.5*

Booky Call!! I love puns and the app is great, too. Time for a book-up. Hahaha
