Online Book Club App?

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Online Book Club App?

Post by MaryLisboa »

I know how hard is to create a good app, but I believe it would be much easier (for me at least) to use it then the website version. So I just wanted to know if there are any plans on releasing an app.

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

You think? That's great! I'm happy not being the only one to think that.

I agree! I would love it if OBC had an app. :D

Me too! I would definitely use it more since it would phone friendly, and that's what I have with me most times :)

I'd have to agree. If there was an app for the site, I'd be on a lot more than I am now.

I think the app would be a great asset to the younger reviewers, considering we spend a lot of time on phones and tablets. It would make it easier to update a current read on the bus with an app instead of taking out a laptop or waiting till you get home.

Okay, we've been talking a lot about goals/resolutions for 2016. Let my goal be to make this app thing happen in 2016. :)
