Love the concept and that’s why I give a five star rating, however the app doesn’t include anything famous outside of classics. Is there plans for this in the future? It would make the app really amazing and fun.

Great app for travel and reading

If you like books, this is a great app to travel with. Even discovered some locations around my new neighborhood.

Hard to use

It's such a great idea. Just having a hard time figuring out how to use it. Can't see how to add my book. Did a search of very popular authors...no results. Just kind of underwhelmed and confused. I have a college degree and feel like it shouldn't be this hard😳.

And.....

Lots of... Nothing. Grew old waiting for it to do something. Thought I'd type in a classic - bleak house - with a wealth of amazing locations across London. It did nothing but also said there was nothing around my current location which is the centre of London. Does it work in the US? Who knows.
