Incredible App & Product!
Wow. I’ve always loved reading, but as our world has become increasingly digital, it’s always felt like there’s a gap between physical books and the accessibility of technology and broader world information. I feel like this little product and app bridges the gap beautifully. It has made reading feel more engaging, insightful, and fun as a result. I think for the app being so new, it’s incredibly polished, but there’s some areas where it could be better.
For example, the ‘Edit Book’ option allows you to change the cover, but only with a photo of your book or generic colored templates. I think it would be incredibly helpful to be able to grab a photo from the web of a books cover, because sometimes the database doesn’t have the same cover as the version I own, and it’d be great to have a polished looking version of the cover that fits the look of the app, rather than a slipshod photo from my phone. I’d also like to be able to edit titles of books, because I’ve added 7 books now, and 6 of them are uncapitalized, which drives a grammar-police reader like me crazy lol.
A few other things I’d love to see:
- Interactive 3D rotate-able book covers, like how the Cibby app has for physical games. That would turn this app up to a million and go viral for book lovers. No one has anything like that for books
- Dark Mode
- Craft Docs Integration
- More info on individual books, almost like a profile for each book similar to how Apple Books has it, or at least a hyperlink to Apple Books
- Ability to manually add typed notes for books, not everything should have to flow through the Mark II itself, makes the app feel limited
- A lock screen pomodoro style live activity timer
