3/5Its good
Its good but it could be greater. More people would make it better and more book choices and genres and maybe put a thing where you can get the book for free.

that one orginal · 7 Aug 2026
1/5Sounds awesome but
It force closed so much I couldn't get past the initial sign up, I tried at least four times and it would force close in the same spot every time

2/5Great but biased
I have downloaded 6 apps total and this one was by far the best for our book club needs. The biggest downfall is that some of our members have been left out because they don't have iPhones. When we found out android users can't get it, we went to the web. I was highly disappointed that there isn't even a web version that my android friends can use. Now we have basically alienated those few because we can't find any apps that cater to both users and our book club needs.

3/5No androids
This app could be improved by allowing android users to download the app, or at least use a web version of it. It limits the people we can invite to join the book club. This app has a lot of positive features that are perfect for our needs but some of our book club members are excluded because of this issue. Also, it would be nice if more options were available to look at through the different genres and not show books that I have already selected for my favorites and/or wishlist.

5/5An amazing app to organize your reading life!
As a passionate reader who’s always looking for the next big read, the Novellic app has been tremendously helpful and fun to use. It is so easy to add any books I come across and want to include in my TBR list, keep track of my read and favorite books, and look up new recommendations. I have read a lot of books personalized by Novellic and I have enjoyed every single one. I love checking out all the different book clubs and see what everyone else is reading. The new addition of the yearly reading challenge is the cherry on top. I recommend this app for anyone who wants to keep their reading life organized, up to date, and handy.
