Readerly Status

We care deeply about helping readers discover books and supporting the authors, publishers, and bookstores that bring us the stories we love. this app is free to use, but we offer a this app+ subscription to readers who want to support our mission so we can keep their interests at the heart of the platform.  We only fill your feed with Gists from like-minded readers and people you follow so you can discover more books you’ll enjoy.  Get access to special, genre-specific Venn Groups, comprised of readers who share your taste in books.  We’re making book discovery better for readers and fairer for authors by challenging the ever-growing influence Amazon has over our reading choices.  this app is an independent book discovery platform designed to help you track your reading, explore your stats, and discover something new.  Support our mission to create a truly unique and independent book platform! © 2022 this app, Inc. View full terms at app. com/terms/ and our privacy policy at app.  Gists are punchy, fun, easy-to-create slides that begin with a quick shoutline for your favorite books (just a sentence or two).  Create private groups with friends to post Gists and discuss books!  Instead, we provide context with every review, showing you how much your tastes overlap with the reviewer, books you’ve both read, and topics you both enjoy.  We’ve abandoned the sneaky algorithms and 5-star rating system to bring you book recs with more context.  See the most recommended books in each of your Venn Groups (your personalized top list! ).  Customize how we calculate book ratings and who to include in your Venn Groups.  Explore your Venn Group’s top Gists and most helpful readers.  This way, you can decide which reviews resonate with you, and discover books you might have otherwise passed over!  Reducing a book down to 3. 3 or 4. 2 stars doesn’t tell you what you as a reader with unique tastes will think of it.  Compare how people in your Venn Group rated a book vs. everyone else on this app.
