Christian Nationalist Agenda

I felt that the selection made this app seem like it didn’t have an agenda or didn’t have a strong agenda. I was expecting offerings like what yoto has; some religious, some secular. This was not the case. A lot of the selection will be familiar to people who have been in a classical education setting. The selection has very little to offer girls or people of color in terms of missionaries, historical figures, or scientists being represented. What it offers boys seemed highly indoctrinating into the type of aggressive Christian masculinity that has become associated with Christian nationalism. There was a text painting the Crusades as a good thing, books glorifying Columbus and John Smith as missionaries, and countless books encouraging boys to glorify war.

This app is tricking people into purchasing it by presenting itself as more secular than it is. It’s not only NOT secular, the selection and curation is pushing the Christian Nationalist agenda.

Outstanding Platform.

So many wholesome stories here and more are being added. It’s nice to not have to monitor for questionable messages in the content offered. Keep up the great work. Proud to support such endeavor. Looking forward to many more years of use, and then to the impressions the stories left after that.

Good content. User experience is lacking

it takes a long time to add books to a collection. Would be nice to see which books are already in the collection from that page. Would also be nice to have a notification of which books have been added to a collection when searching (to prevent adding the same book multiple times). Would be nice to click on an author’s name when looking at a book to see the other books you have for that author.
