This application (since it is positioned as a social network for readers or book clubs) has the functions of getting to know the author, meeting people (you can find book lovers with similar tastes), and the “book ideas” function, which provides a wide selection of works for reading. The design of this application is minimalistic, the color scheme consists mainly of white and blue colors.
One of the most interesting sections of the application is the “cafe” section – a forum where you can discuss the book with other readers, find friends with whom you can read the work together, etc. The “browse” section opens access to a gallery of books that you can read. The “reading” section allows you to continue reading the work, acquaintance with which has already begun.
The “account” tab contains information about your subscription, notifications, profile settings, groups in which you are a member, etc. The “start a reading” tab allows you to start reading new work.
Are you looking for ways to find more friends and people that share your interests? For this you can use not only this Bookship app, but also other apps to meet new people.
Concerning the technical support of the application, it is worth noting that it is carried out in a question-and-answer form with attached videos that allow you to better understand a particular problem.
