Nice visuals, but frustrating
Nice looking app… love the visuals of quickly glancing at the books I’ve read by their cover.
Frustrating thing is I frequently have to request books be added to their database. And in the last couple of months, all these requests have gone unanswered. I’ve emailed, used their “contact support” link, tried via Instagram… nothing.
Will have to delete the app and go elsewhere, sadly.

Loved until they stopped updating library
I’ve been using this app for over a year now, and have loved it until recently. If there wasn’t a book in their library, you could email them and they’d add it really quick. Well, it’s been MONTHS since they’ve added any of my book requests. I’ve read like 18 books this year and maybe 10 of those were in their library. I’ve emailed over and over with no replies at all (& there doesn’t seem to be any other way to get in touch…so hoping they see my review…). I’m so frustrated, I may have to make the switch to another app. :(

A good concept let down by few bugs!
The layout is good, overall presentation UI design is good but the app is shutting down again and again itself, secondly the book covers are so blurry when you click on them to see the enlarged versions, you need to put high resolution book covers that’s the first thing a book reader notices, otherwise it’s such a good concept love it, few tweaks and then this app will be so perfect, cheers 👌🏼

Not there yet.
I’ve anticipated Copper long before it officially released. My hope was that it would become the new Goodreads (which we hate to love and love to hate, just like Amazon). It has a long way to go before it’s reached its full potential.
Here are my current grievances:
1. The genre groupings are incomplete and don’t make sense. Why is Fiction grouped with Historical Fiction? Why is Romance separate? I would like to see genre and sub-genre groupings.
2. The genre button links don’t lead to their respective genre. For example, when I tap on the the Romance link, it opens up Betterment. Fiction & Historical Fiction opens up Mystery, etc.
3. The library is incomplete, especially when it comes to sci-fi and fantasy. There are duplicates as well. There needs to be a better way to consolidate the catalogue.
4. Speaking of catalogue, requesting to add more books is awkward and time consuming.
5. This is a minor one, but since I don’t use this app as much as I want to, the app will log me out occasionally for no reason.
I enjoy the interface, the ability to have discussions, and the ease of use (mostly), but the last update was 9 months ago. This app has a long way to go before it gets to where it needs to be.

Significantly better than goodreads
A great place to see what like minded readers are reading and see thoughtful reviews. Love sharing my bookshelf and seeing others
I Needed This App!
As an author, I needed this app. It’s a way for me to connect with other writers, to share ideas and to get motivated.
As a reader, I REALLY needed this app! I tend to get in a rut, going back to the same books. Now, I scroll through discussions or visit someone else’s bookshelf and discover new books. I’m so excited to be reading more titles from more authors. I feel inspired!
Lastly, I needed the app for the community. As an arts professional, I’ve lost so much of my community in the last few years. While we are rebuilding, having Copper as a place to be, to share my expertise, to join events and conversations and to learn from other readers and authors—it’s a huge gift. I’m grateful to be in this community.

Needs work
Missing books and poor search functionality
A wonderful start for authors and readers
I’m already enjoying putting together different bookshelves, though I was pretty confused at first. I really enjoy the layout and simple design of the app, which makes it easier for navigation.
My only “peeve” I have is when searching for books to add to these bookshelves. I’ve noticed more than half of what I have read is not able to be added because it is not available. I wish there was a way to add books that may not pop up at all.
I have also noticed that in regards to the search, it is extremely finicky. Even if I spell everything correctly or include the entire title, sometimes it will not pop up or if it does it will disappear after a second and I would need to delete or add letters (in search bar) in order for me to find it again. I hope that they are able to fix this issue and also add the opportunity for users to add books that do not pop up when you search. I would love to share/organize, in-app, some of my favorite books and authors but I’m unable to because of this.

Nothing better than community recommendations
Love this app! Connecting directly with authors and seeing the bookshelves are my favorite features.
Finally a platform for authors & readers alike!
Copper is a wonderful gathering place for book lovers, published authors, aspiring writers, and more. Host and participate in events, start discussions, build relationships, be a part of our community!
Exciting alternative to mainstream social media
I am loving this new bookish community. I find it to be very helpful in meeting writers and readers just like me. It feels uncluttered and focused on the books and authors, and that is a huge sigh of relief. I have been looking for an alternative to FB and IG and this just feels right!
Beautiful all around
Love the idea, the design, and the execution. All around exactly what I was looking for
Very impressive!
This looks very good! I’m eager to dig in and explore the app.
For the love of books!
As an avid reader, I am excited to build my bookshelves, mark favorite my go-to books, and connect with the authors of the books I love!
Love it!!!
Love it!!!
Delightful!
As if my bookshelf needs to grow any larger, Copper comes in and shows me just how much I have yet to read!
Copper feels like home :)
I’ve been looking for a space to track my bookshelves, discuss what I’m reading, and meet new book buddies. Copper is the perfect place for all three!

Copper made reading fun again
Highly Recommend
This app is so cool!!! Easy to use, great way to connect with others and unlike anything I have seen. Download this app. You will love it!
I’ve Been Waiting For This
Copper is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! The ability to make bookshelves, talk to others and see what my favorite authors enjoy reading as well. It feels like an industry secret is finally being revealed! The design colors and layout are easy to use, beautiful and functional!
