Enjoyable, 4.9 stars

A handy dandy app for keeping track of different collections. The only thing that could make it better is if when organizing the collections there could be more options. For example, categorizing books by authors last name instead of all books A-Z or movies by directors last name. Or even being able to create sub categories in the categories (romance, Tom hanks films, Stephen King books). I don’t know how much work it would be to make these options, but it would, in my opinion, make ThingsBook easier to use.

The app won’t work

I can’t even create an accounts. it’s been days, I’ve been trying to make an account but it keeps saying “a temporary error happened please try again later”

Such a useless app 🤧

You can’t even read at all

App Usage

Easy to use, a lot of things such as books, movies, series etc. are easy to find in search. I also like the fact of seeing someone else’s collection. It’s is almost like a book that collects all of the valuable possessions and basically is the trinket shelf

How

The app wouldn’t work I have iPhone 14 iOS 26 but the app wouldn’t open

Urgonnamakemegetpettyandrage

I SWEAR IF I SEE THIS ADD AGAIN IM GOING TO GET PETTY (No one look at this I’m just very mad about getting this add over and over please just stop showing me this add 😭😭😭)

Good App, Terrible Tools

Great site in theory, but its writing tools are severely limiting and can be very frustrating. I lost a draft to a large post because, unlike all major text writing apps, this app doesn’t save automatically. Completely turned me off from using again in any meaningful way.

What..

How do you even read? I am trying to read the New girl by Cassandra calin. I'm clicking on it and it don't let me read. 3 stars

Imagine being happy about books

So imagine this you are in your teens like you’re 19 and you’re thinking who I really wanna read a book so you come on here and you go to find a book and whenever you do you tap the location to find where the book is and it gives you the wrong damn location

Worst app ever

I would definitely not recommend getting this app first of all it is nothing like the advertisement you don’t have a bookshelf of all your books!

You have to be 17

And I’m NOT 17 and I got it because I wanted to read the second book in middle school and other disasters and it’s really good and the second book is about how Heidi has a crush on hunter Mc can and she calls him hunter Mc cutie and more about the app you have to log in your birthday and YOU HAVE TO BE 17 even though it’s 4+ and I have to do 5 stars for it to show up and also they should put a thing that you can read someone’s else’s books

Discussion, Collection, Hobby

It’s a nice showcase for our hobbies. Gives everyone a chance to share, connect, discuss, or just simply post our joys.

MORE MUSIC PLEASE?!

I love how they added Spotify, But I just need other streaming platforms to be on here.. Apple, Amazon, Deezer etc. Then that would be GREAT. Thank You!

It’s just social media but ugly

I thought the point of the app was like a replacement for Pocket (RIP) but it’s basically just X (twitter) except literally every post is an ad.

Logging me out

I got logged out and it tells me I can’t log back in. I’ve tried everything! Logging in with google, apple, email. And nothing will not let me back in! And I love other than that. I have shi on there.

Yes yes yes

I don’t normally write reviews, but this app is like if Letterboxd and Substack had a child that was better than them in every single capacity. As a collector and media enthusiast, this is the perfect app to keep or share your personal archive! They are still in the works of updating features and optimizing, but in order for it to be everything it could potentially become, it needs a lot more user support so I highlyyy recommend!

Ads

I KEEP GETTING THE SAME MF AD ON POLYBUZZ WHEN I USE IT LIKE I DONT CARE ABOUT THINGSBOOKS I JUST WANT TO CHAT WITH SEUNGMIN FROM STRAY KIDS

Feel like I’m going in circles trying to log back in 🫩

I’m someone who tends to forget their password a lot 🫣so keep that in mind while reading. I tried logging back in using Google, and even though it says that I’m signing back in, the next page after verification directs me to make a new account. When I switched over to logging in using my email, and I go through the email verification code process again, it tells me I have log back in using Google (because that’s how I signed up for the platform).

Perhaps I just need to remember my password/change it and all of this could be solved. But I wish there was more of a distinction when it comes to log-in/account creation. ThingsBook! I swear I have an account already, just please let me log back in using Google 😭🙏

Boring and unsatisfied

I was expecting books. There’s no books. Just internet posts and I don’t like it. I came to read manga and I just got internet posts.
