Novellic - The Book Club App

Been using this for a few months now. I’m not a huge reader and could never find any books i could get into. Really enjoying the selection I’m recommended by Novellic and I just might read more than three books this year!

Really awful! You download the app, but can’t actually get onto it. It just showing you the circle of doom spinning round and round..... in 2021 this is pretty poor!

EDIT: After I posted my problem on here, I received a reply from the founder, and the problem was quickly solved. Now that I can access it, the app looks good. I had an issue with choosing favourite genres after my first login, but more genres are available through your profile. Another frustration is that many book club founders include all genres in the club profile, even if their interests are quite narrow. I assume this is so they can get more people to waste time looking at clubs that don't interest them. It seems that you can only rate books that are already listed in the app, which is understandable but quite limiting. I have only three books on my To Be Read list in the app, but more than ten times that many in real life, which is another frustration. Still a useful app, though.

I downloaded this app a couple of days ago and was having trouble creating an account, I jumped onto Instagram to get some tech help and they were great. They walked me through suggestions which didn’t initially work and then the founder of the app jumped into the conversation to try and resolve the problem them-self, sent me an email and worked. Since having used the app I love it. During covid its been difficult to see people and be engaged with things and this app gave me the opportunity to read books that others on the app are reading and discuss opinions with them. I also love the fact that I can read quick synopsis of books, find books easily based on genre and if I want even buy books through the app. It even tells me other users who are reading a book I’ve searched and allows me to connect with them.

Novellic is super for keeping track of all the books I’ve read and the many many more I have yet to read. The recommendations are great but really it’s the fact that I can see a book and immediately look up what it’s about and save it for later... I find I use the app mostly when I’m between books and need a reminder of what I’d added to my TBR! The book clubs are also fun and a great way to follow others with similar reading taste.

I used to use the old version of the Novellic app with no issues. Now however I cannot login, the app says that my email address doesn’t exist. However when I try to create a new account, it says my email address is already in use! Then when I try contacting Novellic it’s says there is an error sending my message. This is truly the worst experience with an app I have ever had.

Love the idea of this app but a massive shame it is slow AF, not smooth at all and overall frustrating to use. Spent most of my time waiting for things to load! Deleted it!

Super app for finding new books to read - I'm not really one for book clubs but the store is great and it's so easy to buy books. Found a few great gems! Recommended for all readers...

This app is extremely frustrating as it doesn't work properly. There is no help or support areas on the app or website. I signed up to use this for a book club and you can't even add the book you are reading to use the app in a basic form. Really disappointed and after an hour am none the wiser as to how to get it to work.

Love this app! Great for book recommendations and finding book clubs to join.
