downloaded and went to sign up and clicked Google and Other options all error nothing works.
Saw an ad and was sold on the book collection organization app that person said this app was, and it had all the features I wanted. But when I downloaded it and made an account only then did I find a werid social media app that's not very intuitive or even remotely resembles the app I was shown in the add. I have no idea what the app is trying to be, but a book organization tool it is not.
ad was very misleading. thought it was a neat tbr list making and sharing it... not true. it's journaling and a social media like platform with more than just book related things.
I wanted to like this... but I could never scroll past my second collection, nor could I switch a post between collections. Those are basic things in my mind...
downloaded for webtoon coins... immediately uninstalled because what even is this garbage lol
basic features didn't want to work. heavily advertised on another app by this company to get people to come to this one by giving free currency in the other app. the screen is cluttered and lack any sense of flow. got my coins. spent 5 mins and deleted my account.
2 minutes in and I already don't like it enough to uninstall it. I tried to scan my barcode for one of my favorite books and it wouldn't give me the book. The whole point of me getting on this is so that I could have like a 3D cover list of my favorite books. If I were to put the same ISBN into Google it would give me the book. And I'm not doing each book by hand.
The app started bugging and wouldn't let me change the year of my birthday couldn't even sign in :( I was really excited to use this app since I heard good things about it.
aggressively trying to get you're log in information to wither Google apple or Facebook. just a blatant attempt to harvest your information
Idk what's going on but everytime I try and open it, 97% of the time itll hit me with "a temporary error as occurred" I cant even use it properly because of this.
I downloaded this to keep track of books I've read and my TBR list... all I can make or find are posts. im not looking for social media. I just wanted to search books. I thought that was the whole point but clearly not.
I very much like this app but every time I was trying to edit something cuz I'm very precise of how I want things to look it would edit something else to the point that I have to go back redo it and it will still mess it up again It is not worth it in my opinion unless they fix this Also from what I could tell when I was also trying to enter manga and graphic novels I have They do not have those already in it so you have to custom them And I wish with that you could put a custom image
meh
At this time I don't see the appeal. The design is too cluttered in my opinion. It feels like they just threw everything into to app with no real organization in mind. Everytime I open the app, I have to take a moment to figure out what I'm looking at since everyone's posts just look like one giant & continuous text block with pictures. And the profile design leaves much to be desired. Ultimately, this app trying to do too much.
