Easy to use. 500 character limit forces you to think about what makes this book special. Use of hashtags make it easier to find books that interest you. Minor nit: current version crashes when you try to add hashtags to your reviews.

I’m really into the idea of this app. The design is minimalist and very pretty — I especially love the face-out bookshelf as a user’s profile. I can see it getting a little unwieldy as people add more books, but for now it’s lovely. My main suggestions are: more genres and ability to see reviews on a book’s details page. I would love to see the addition of genres that I use heavily, especially YA, LBGT/queer, and comics/graphic novels. As far as I can tell, scrolling through users who have marked a genre a favorite of theirs is the main way to find other users to follow, so it would be great to see this fleshed out, with more specificity there. In a similar vein, on goodreads I often find people to follow based on reviews I really like that they’ve written of specific books, so it would be cool if you could see “top” or all reviews for a book and follow a user from there. I’m looking forward to seeing how this app grows! I think it has a lot of potential.

I think this app has a great concept and I am enjoying the reviews. The one aspect I think is missing is the ability to save reviews. That way when someone recommends a book that sounds interesting to me I can star it or add it to a tbr shelf to find later. I am lazy and don’t want to have to open my goodreads app and find the book there. Other than that, I am enjoying my experience with Inky so far!

Love the app, great place to put ALL my books and TBRs and loans! I just think it should have a browsing section where you can see what everyone is recommending in each genre. As it is now, I find it hard to go person-to-person looking for books to put on my To Be Read list

Love the idea!! I’m definitely going to start using this app regularly to keep track of how many books I read each year. One suggestion though! You should make it easier to find people to follow. Also, adding the ability to message other users or comment on reviews would be a good next step
