8 books per month of which 7 are crap. Would be nice to at least choose a category. I’ve quit after 3 months.

Fine

I would like to have more chicklit and romance books, sometimes there are a lot thrillers or detective books..

Some troubles while reading

I have problems that I often can’t turn to another page ( it stucks) . I can only resolve this by using the slider and go a few pages further and then return to the actual page. This happens mostly if I go to a new chapter.

why only 3 stars?

It would be nice to have categories to choose from.
Before I joint 'Elly's choice' and received 10 books per month, now I receive 8 books for the same price. It's 20% more expensive now. And on top I receive books in a category I don't want to read, like 'women feelgood'.
OK, now there is the option to read books in different languages and as a spoken book. I don't use these options, but still pay for them...
I would like to download the short descriptions of books in order to have an indication if I want to read them after they have been removed from the Bookchoise website.

The app doesn’t download the books…

The app doesn’t download the books fully so I can’t read of listen to them. And the app doesn’t have the shop so I can’t buy the books that are offered in the monthly email.

Ok to have fresh books every month

I love the fact I can chose from different kind of books very month. Nevertheless I prefered the ‘old’ Elly’s choice. Choose your genre of books. Since I don’t like thrillers, which are mainly the genre books in Bookchoice, in the end there are only about 3 books I choose from every month.

I expected more trending books

I expected more trending books. Also a problem is, that you lose the books after a year. I thought I bought the books, so they are mine! I don't have time to read much these days and on holidays i wanted to read but the books i wanted to read were gone. Very disapointing!

Only 1 month back can be download

Only 1 month back can be download, earlier subscribed months are lost. The predecessor Ellie's was at that aspect better, although the gift cards of Ellie's (and I have still some) promptly became worthless after the change to Bookchoice.
Title selection wise it would be nice if one would be able to select the type of books.

Interesting concept but should be improved

I see a pattern in the selection of books.
E-books should have a short synopsis so that you know what you will start reading.
Bookchoice could add tags - or better yet: have readers add tags
On All internet platforms users can share reviews
I have used the app, it stopped working and helpdesk could not tell me what to do. I know no longer use it.
In the app you can read a book only for a limited time. When you want to read it later you must download it.

Good start of a concept to pay a low price and get legal copies of a book. But not mature yet.
