User reviews

A great reading app

I love the option to have a virtual library as a widget on my phone! The app has quite a few features that I enjoy, the timed reading that will block other apps and the ability to edit your library. The two things I wasn’t a fan of was that after my trial, the app automatically charged for the more expensive year plan instead of the offer I had received previously and I’ve had several glitches with the timed reading where it won’t end my session and just froze on that screen.

Actually obsessed 🧡🖤

I think outside of the bookshelf thing I love the reading timer it really helps me keep track of my reading and in turn helps me wind down daily. Also love that we are constantly getting updates based of our feedback. Also love that the theme icon and loading screen are fully customisable!!!!!!

Free version

I wish there was a free version of the app just to feel how the app is instead of having to pay the full access of the app already. Also, as much as I love the aesthetics of it, I just find it very expensive for a week of subscription even with the discount it offered yearly. I wish there was just a free version of it. I downloaded it and felt stuck to pay.

Paywall

Completely agree with the other reviews. It would be nice to have a free version but also £30 a month is absolute insanity. £6 a month instead of a week sure. You’re charging more than streaming services for what? Other authors books looking cute in an app. Really lovely idea for the book girlies but the price tag is mental I could put a weeks worth of fuel in my car for that 😵‍💫😵‍💫

pessimo
