User Reviews

Users praise BOTM for strong book selection and ease of use, but frequently cite flaky audiobooks and updated UI/navigation as major annoyances, along with confusing credits/billing policies. Top positives: book variety, usability, skip credits, and value. Top negatives: unreliable audio, degraded navigation after updates, and credit rules are confusing.
Pros
  • Excellent book selection and discovery of unfamiliar authors, with consistent monthly options.
  • Well-organized, easy-to-use app that makes browsing and choosing a book simple.
  • Flexible credits system: you can skip a month and keep your credit.
  • Good value for the price, especially for hardbacks and deals compared to retail stores.
Cons
  • Audiobook playback issues: it often doesn’t remember your place, restarts, and lacks reliable scrubbing; CarPlay support is missing.
  • UI/navigation changes after updates hinder exploration of books and add-ons.
  • Credits policy causing surprises: credits can expire and skipping can still incur charges or aren’t clearly communicated.
  • App stability glitches, such as blank white screens or other loading problems.

I am enjoying this he book club so far. I would really like to see more authors of color offered in the selection.

Every month the books we can choose from are the absolute worst. I signed up with Blood Born and We Who Will Die thinking that at least every other month a good book would be selected. 4 months and they are not good at all. I cannot wait to cancel my subscription and stop paying for these 3 star reads.
