Ratings and reviews

Intentionally misleading into offer. They offer your first month for five dollars, but then you are unable to cancel until you order another month. It is on purpose that that was not clear to me. And they will not allow me to cancel now, even though it's minutes after my order and nothing has shipped. I guess they really need new orders, even if it's through ridiculous tricks.

I love this book subscription box and the app is easy to use if you are selecting a physical book to be shipped, plus, skipping a month is easy. However, if audiobooks are your thing the ap and player are awful. Books do not keep your place if you close the ap down, but if you leave it open and pause the book it constantly starts up on its own. I knocked my review down to two stars because it's been well over a year and it hasn't gotten better. BOTM needs to fix this!

While it's never been the best app, I feel like recently it's become almost unusable. Any time I try to navigate to a new section it takes forever to load, freezes when you try to return to the home screen, and pulling up any book details locks it to the screen and you cannot drag the window back down to return to searching. I spend so much time closing and reopening the app, it's incredibly frustrating.
