## What is Trope MC?

Welcome to TROPE MC, the first Booktok App! 

Not all stories stay in books, some escape the ink! With Trope MC you’ll be able to create your own real life book community, where you can discover people, books and all the latest news.

First steps? Select the Trope you want to be part of and create your profile. Now you’re ready to discover all the available features!

How does it work? With a matchmaking algorithm for readers, you’ll be able to swipe and connect with other readers based on their profiles, hobbies and interest. Want to build a bookclub or maybe just talk about your latest book boyfriend? No problem! You’ll be able to do just that with your new connections through your private chats.

Is there someone whose attention you want to catch but don’t know if they’ll notice you? Send them a Book Recommendation! Book Recommendations will be sent to the person of your liking, showing them your profile directly and giving you more chances of being swiped right!

What about a bigger community? We’ve got you! We know it’s impossible to match with everyone in this Booktok world and that sometimes you just want to know what’s cooking in the community or even discover what related events are there in your area. Then the Secret Societies are your place to be. In this general chat, you’ll be able to interact with everyone in the community, even if you haven’t matched with them. You’ll be part of the official TROPE MC SECRET SOCIETY and the one from the Trope you’ve chosen by default. In case you’re a bit nosey and want to know what’s going on in other Societies, you’ll be able to do just that by jumping on one of our suscription plans available.

Finally, to make it easier for you to be updated with the latest books releases, check our News section! You’ll find weekly updates of the Booktok world thought a constant flow of articles.

### 1/5 — ..

*2026-02-24, version 1.0.8*

couldn’t even create my account:( really wanted to try it

### 3/5 — I can’t search up my friends

*2026-01-04, version 1.0.8*

This is a beautiful concept for the book community and I love the idea of making new book besties.. but I downloaded this so my current book bestie and I could have a platform to send books on. I can’t even search her up. I’m so sad cause we really wanted to share this experience together but I’m only allowed to add strangers.

### 3/5 — Dead

*2025-12-04, version 1.0.6*

I think it’s an amazing concept however… it’s not very active. I’ve been swiping all day to make friends and not a single match. I’ve replied with all kinds of recommendations and nothing. All the posts have 1-3 actions on them. Just wish more people were there :(

### 1/5 — Making an Account

*2025-11-01, version 1.0.5*

I was so excited about this app but I can’t finish making an account. I get to picking my pictures it wouldn’t let me move forward.

### 4/5 — Hey

*2025-10-27, version 1.0.5*

I love this new app, it’s amazing, i have two things I would change, I had this app for like 3 or 4 days, and I haven’t found my match yet, but I am making friends in the trope group, and the second thing is, that for when u get a comment in a trope group, it’s confusing what they wrote back, and one more that that I made and mistake, I accidentally put 2007 for my birth year not 2008, and I can’t fix it. 
Your new app is amazing! I can’t wait for it to grow more!!
Evie

### 3/5 — Can’t make a profile

*2025-10-26, version 1.0.5*

This app is such an amazing idea and when I heard of it I immediately went to download it but when I was making my account every time I’d try I would either be told there was an error when trying to press finish after my photos or told there was an error when trying to find books for my profile ☹️ also when choosing the genre of books you like your only allowed to choose one which was disappointing, if this app did work I’d love to be able to choose multiple genres since I read multiple genres but again I love the idea of this app and really hoped it would work the book community needs an app like this!!! And maybe it will get fixed I hope it does but for now I’m deleting the app since I can’t use it 😔

### 1/5 — Won’t let me upload

*2025-10-25, version 1.0.5*

It won’t let  me upload books to my library, it’s says there’s an issue and to come back, and I’ve tried and tried but it’s not working

### 1/5 — Keeps asking me to login

*2025-10-25, version 1.0.5*

I created my account, answered all the questions.  It just took me back to the login page, I entered my information and then asked me to answer the same questions. Did this about 4 times. I just deleted the app.

### 2/5 — Can’t create account

*2025-10-25, version 1.0.5*

Saw this app on TikTok and decided to get it but I went to create an account but every time I hit “sign up”, a box appears with an x that says an error has occurred. I tried deleting and reinstalling app but it didn’t work

### 3/5 — Issue Signing Up

*2025-10-22, version 1.0.5*

Ah!! I love the idea of this and so excited to connect with bookish people!! However, the sign up process is tricky to complete. As you get to the “choose 3 questions” part and you’re filling them in, when you press return it just adds another space in the text box and doesn’t allow you to come out of it to the next stage. If this can be fixed please! I’d love to complete my sign up
