### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2023-09-30*

Não está funcionando. Não consigo marcar o livro que quero ler pra trocar

**Developer response:** Bom dia,

O que não está funcionando especificamente? 
Você precisa subir um livro primeiro para poder ver a lista completa de livros disponíveis.

Na lista, basta deslizar para cima se você gostar ou para baixo se não gostar. Nada mais. Se houver um match, uma janela de bate-papo será criada automaticamente na aba de bate-papo.

Por favor, nos avise se tiver algum outro problema.

PS: É bastante triste receber apenas uma estrela porque o usuário precisa de ajuda para usar corretamente uma ferramenta gratuita para todos =(

### 5/5 — More people should join!

It’s almost like tinder for books. If there were a lot of users it would be a great way to find a lot of different books.

**Developer response:** Agreed! Feel free to tell your friends about it :)
