Misleading

You have to immediately purchase or begin a “free trial” before you can even really use the app. There’s so many covers for books unavailable or “unknown” that you have to either upload or create yourself. I thought this would be such a cute way to track my reads and visualize it but it’s just not what it seems nor is it worth the money.
From a fellow book girly, don’t waste your time or money <3

paywall

disappointed :/ you can’t use it without paying! you HAVE to pay to use the app at all. i was looking forward to this but it isn’t fair to expect someone to pay to use your app without any other options for restrictions or something.

Greedy

Unfortunately you cannot access this app without paying some type of membership. I did the 3-free day trial and I will not be purchasing the subscription because it makes no sense you cannot access many of these features without some form of payment. The app is just like any other free-version book app and there is no point in paying when the shelf’s are neither aesthetic nor worth the money. Most of the books you have to upload your own spines to make it look aesthetically pleasing and that’s even with the classics and more famous books I have on my already read list. I wish people would stop being money hungry by trying to normalize non-pay worthy features.

Cute Idea, but not for me

I think this is a really cute idea, but asking a subscription fee for such an unpolished app is kinda crazy.

Beautiful app!

I love this app and how it helps me have focused reading time, plus looks beautiful. I have noticed however that it’s a little glitchy/lagging at times. This may be due to the large amount of books on my shelves though 😬
