User Reviews

Users praise Book of the Month for its broad selections, monthly pick flexibility, and value, plus discovering lesser-known authors. Repeated complaints focus on app instability, browsing/browsing visuals, and mixed views on price/value and support. Improving reliability and UX while sustaining strong selections and perks would address the main drawbacks.
Pros
  • Great variety of authors and genres.
  • Flexible monthly picks with the option to receive multiple books and good value.
  • Easy to use and enjoyable for book lovers; cross-device usability.
  • Helps discover lesser-known authors and new genres.
  • Member perks and good pricing/value.
Cons
  • App instability and performance issues (crashes, slow response, loading failures).
  • Inability to browse effectively (no book covers/images; browsing is hard).
  • Pricing/value concerns (some feel it’s not worth the cost vs libraries or cheaper options).
  • Customer support experiences vary (some reports of unhelpful or slow support).

The audiobook option doesn't properly save progress. It's so beyond frustrating that every single time I use the app, I first have to find out where I last left off.

I don't want an app. I just want to look at the list and choose a book.
