Copper Books Reviews

I’ve been using CopperBooks for over a year now, and have loved it until recently. If there wasn’t a book in their library, you could email them and they’d add it really quick. Well, it’s been MONTHS since they’ve added any of my book requests. I’ve read like 18 books this year and maybe 10 of those were in their library. I’ve emailed over and over with no replies at all (& there doesn’t seem to be any other way to get in touch…so hoping they see my review…). I’m so frustrated, I may have to make the switch to another app. :(

Missing books and poor search functionality

I’ve anticipated Copper long before it officially released. My hope was that it would become the new Goodreads (which we hate to love and love to hate, just like Amazon). It has a long way to go before it’s reached its full potential.

Here are my current grievances:

1. The genre groupings are incomplete and don’t make sense. Why is Fiction grouped with Historical Fiction? Why is Romance separate? I would like to see genre and sub-genre groupings.

2. The genre button links don’t lead to their respective genre. For example, when I tap on the the Romance link, it opens up Betterment. Fiction & Historical Fiction opens up Mystery, etc.

3. The library is incomplete, especially when it comes to sci-fi and fantasy. There are duplicates as well. There needs to be a better way to consolidate the catalogue.

4. Speaking of catalogue, requesting to add more books is awkward and time consuming.

5. This is a minor one, but since I don’t use CopperBooks as much as I want to, CopperBooks will log me out occasionally for no reason.

I enjoy the interface, the ability to have discussions, and the ease of use (mostly), but the last update was 9 months ago. CopperBooks has a long way to go before it gets to where it needs to be.

I’m already enjoying putting together different bookshelves, though I was pretty confused at first. I really enjoy the layout and simple design of CopperBooks , which makes it easier for navigation.

My only “peeve” I have is when searching for books to add to these bookshelves. I’ve noticed more than half of what I have read is not able to be added because it is not available. I wish there was a way to add books that may not pop up at all.

I have also noticed that in regards to the search, it is extremely finicky. Even if I spell everything correctly or include the entire title, sometimes it will not pop up or if it does it will disappear after a second and I would need to delete or add letters (in search bar) in order for me to find it again. I hope that they are able to fix this issue and also add the opportunity for users to add books that do not pop up when you search. I would love to share/organize, in-app, some of my favorite books and authors but I’m unable to because of this.

been waiting for something like this - lovely to have stumbled onto it! can’t wait to share with my friends and family & connect with other book lovers !

A great place to see what like minded readers are reading and see thoughtful reviews. Love sharing my bookshelf and seeing others

Copper is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! The ability to make bookshelves, talk to others and see what my favorite authors enjoy reading as well. It feels like an industry secret is finally being revealed! The design colors and layout are easy to use, beautiful and functional!

The Copper app really fills a void in building community between authors and readers. This is a book lover’s dream come true! I’m finding so many new books I want to read and I love seeing what others are reading. Nothing beats building community around books. Five shining stars for Copper!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

As an author, this is CopperBooks that I ✨wished✨ existed when I was launching my first book. I am thrilled to watch this community of book lovers grow!! 🌱

CopperBooks is so cool!!! Easy to use, great way to connect with others and unlike anything I have seen. Download CopperBooks. You will love it!

I’ve been looking for a space to track my bookshelves, discuss what I’m reading, and meet new book buddies. Copper is the perfect place for all three!

I love CopperBooks. It is user-friendly and intuitive. Being able to connect with readers and other writers is completely transformative for my career and author journey.

As an avid reader, I am excited to build my bookshelves, mark favorite my go-to books, and connect with the authors of the books I love!

I am loving this new bookish community. I find it to be very helpful in meeting writers and readers just like me. It feels uncluttered and focused on the books and authors, and that is a huge sigh of relief. I have been looking for an alternative to FB and IG and this just feels right!

Really love being able connect with actual authors to talk about their books.
