After searching long and hard for a solution for our virtual book club, we're THRILLED with how well this app is working for us. We were hoping for a simple option as an alternative to Zoom and the like. We don't need all the bells and whistles the standard business platforms provide. It's worked better than we could have even imagined.
Very good and helpful!
This app is amazing for me and my best friend to read on together. But it doesn't give us notifications when either posts in the groups comment section. It will ding if we're in the app but the app badge has no notification thing
Loved the app and the idea of the app. Sadly had too many people that do not understand tech at all and how to turn off all of the notifications. I think if you could sign in/up with Google or Facebook, it would help too.
Excellent app. Easy to use for hosting a virtual bookclub and/or tracking your own reading.
I don't quite understand this app, do you need to have the book in hand or you can access to all the books on the app for free and read it with your friends? Why isn't there any options for me to click and read the books? If you can't read the books in the app what's the purpose of this app?
Awfully, I deleted after 1 minute of unsuccessful attempts of creating an account in this app.
This release fixes minor defects.
