Booky Call - Book Discovery Reviews

by Sssssrrrrh

I can’t get BookyCall to function so I guess I’ll never know how great it is.

BookyCall makes no attempt to learn what you like. Goodreads is better, a low bar.

Loads and then the screen turns white and nothing happens

BookyCall is super cute and a fun way to search for new books. However, browsing books for things I’ve read to let BookyCall know I liked them (or not) returns zero results. I was hoping to seed an algorithm so it would suggest books based on my reading history. But that’s a no go.

And swiping through, the suggestions are all for genres I’ve said I’m uninterested in. It appears the available books are extremely limited. So BookyCall is too new for me to use or recommend.

Saw this was a thing from a post in a group on Facebook. I saw there there were people saying it was glitchy. But I downloaded it anyway hoping that the glitches were maybe their phone. The loading is very slow, if anything loads at all. I have my phone open and loading for 15 minutes and nothing showed. I was unable to set up any preferences and wasn’t even totally sure I was signed up. This is an amazing idea and I’ll keep BookyCall in hopes there is an update and everything smooths out for it.

Great idea and something I’ve been looking for for a while however the execution isn’t quite there. Why not start by having the user input books they’ve read and enjoyed as well as books they’ve read and not enjoyed and use an algorithm such as knn to being making recommendations and allow to learn over time based on user input. Isn’t that how all the big guns make recommendations that work?

If there’s a way to do this already, I haven’t found it and I’m more than happy to edit this review if it’s there and I haven’t seen it.

I’ve been on BookyCall less than 10 minutes and have encountered at least 20 pop up errors. Please fix this so I can keep swiping!

Fun, funny and BANG ON when it comes to feeding me what I need. I don’t read as much as I should but Booky Call will be changing that. Too cool

OMG I downloaded it and now I can't stop reading profiles.

I love how this is set up like a dating site. All the books have bios that are meant to entice you. I'm all about the world becoming more literate, and this is a clever way to make it happen. Read on friends.

I love BookyCall! Not only do you complete an interest survey but BookyCall suggests books to you, messages you with ways to get the books you clicked “interested” on and gets smarter to pick more personal books for you based on your preferences.

Love it!

I love reading, but I don’t have time to look through hundreds of Amazon & Goodreads reviews to find a book I’ll like. I also don’t have time to partial start a book, only to find I don’t like it!! The “dating profiles” in BookyCall give me a detailed overview of what the book is really about in a few minutes. If I like the book, I can swipe right and purchase the physical book, audio book, or ebook right from BookyCall . Done and done! There are SO many awesome books that I would’ve never heard of if it wasn’t for Booky Call! My reading list is full!

I also think their mascot is kinda cute :-)

Within minutes of opening BookyCall it served me up books based on my input that I never heard but I feel are a perfect match.

I’ll never go anywhere else to discover new books and authors that I want to learn from!

This is a must app for all those looking to expand their growth mindset!!

by Basaltrock

It’s freakin hilarious and surprisingly good at predicting what I want to read. Really easy to use too. Never had so much fun buying a book before!

The profiles were a turning point in my exploration. As I finished each section, I realized that these profiles aren't just humorous creations, but creative challenges. I thought about how one must balance the seriousness of the subject with the lightheartedness of BookyCall 's approach. The profiles meet that challenge gracefully, and, while not always humorous due to the topics, I still find myself engaged and interested.

These profiles do an excellent job creating hooks for characters and plot.

It's okay to be addicted to a dating app if you're dating books, right?

by Marya Tokepf

Huge shoutout to your search algorithm for finding me so many gems.

by Charisse Pottberrygv

I swiped through many potential matches and found most of them to be intriguing and well-selected.

I came looking for a one night stand and found several. Thankfully no one judges me when I date more than one at a time!!

As an author and a marketer. BookyCall is one of the greatest innovations to have been invented in the literary world since the ebook. They just launched and what I’ve seen up until this point is genius. A matchmaker for readers and books. Brilliant.

by Brynlea Lahyrm

A dating app that lets you match with books instead of people. HELLOOOO!!!
