Tertulia

I want to like this app, but it is incredibly frustrating to use. I tap on my screen, literally count to 5, and then the expected behavior might occur. Paired with a general lack of loading transitions, you could accidentally be on an different page, lose your search, add three copies of a book to your cart, etc. Often, loading a book will show $0 prices before the real prices pop in later. I’ve restarted the app, restarted my phone, redownloaded the app. It’s not my connection, as this app is slower than anything else I use on my phone. Please, please, spend some time troubleshooting and improving your app performance. I know you can do it 🙏

I love the idea of this app, but the execution leaves something to be desired. Most recent experience includes being asked to join (already a member), adding books to cart that say free shipping and then being charged for shipping, and losing what I had in my cart. On the other hand I love the list function where I can track books that I want to read, am reading, and have read while switching between categories.

I recently moved all of my Goodreads info to Tertulia because they are much better at keeping my lists and recommendations in a concise, visually pleasing format. I’ve easily doubled the amount I’m reading because they have all the books I’m looking for and generous deals throughout the year to keep my bookcase stacked. They also listen to their user feedback and their customer service responds right away. That little spark I used to have for learning and indulging in literature has been reignited thanks to Tertulia’s passion for expanding the bounds of reading to include salons and book clubs. It’s interactive, comprehensive, and constantly getting better; the best book app to date.

Tertulia is much more than an app but a community for book lovers. Book recommendations from reputable reviewers, lists of award winning authors, and personalized recommendations have transformed my TBR list for the better. Since joining I’ve discovered new books and authors that would remain unknown to me without Tertulia.

I love Tertulia as a business, as it provides excellent deals for purchasing (with a reasonable membership you get free shipping and up to 20% off everything) and has responsive and personal customer service. They also have editor salons where you learn about new books you may not have considered along with frequent giveaways. The app not only connects you with the service, but gives you access to their lists that—again—introduces you to new books not necessarily on your radar. As someone trying to minimize his relationship with Amazon, Tertulia is my preferred company for buying books online. They clearly love what they do and it shows.

I love that I can browse curated lists and see recommendations but I’ll say the thing I utilize the most is also the most frustrating. It is impossible to view a full self-made list in the app. I have 40 books in my to read list and I can’t scroll past the first 10 before the page reloads and puts me back at the top. I’d be happy to use this app for tracking all my books if that one thing could be fixed

Every time I try to scroll through my tbr list to move items into my cart it jumps up to the top of the list once I’m halfway down. It’s so frustrating. This is an amazing way to buy books. I’ll adjust the rating to 5* once the app stops being glitchy. Thank you!

I love this app!!! So nice to have recommendations based on your interests as well as what is buzzing. Love the list making. One complaint is the speed of the app. It’s sort of slow and glitchy at times.

Tertulia is introducing me to authors I would never read had I not visited this site. The bookstores around my home have their own editorial point of view, but Tertulia’s is as vast as I have time to explore. I love it!

Hope to add iPadOS supply
