Update 11/05/2020- App is now much more responsive which is nice so +1 star. I understand being able to choose the cover, but I think that belongs in a different interface. For example if I want to add a lot of books by an author and search that author, I frequently end up double adding a book. Additionally it's frustrating to add all of the books in a series since you keep having to scroll past duplicates that you are unsure of wether or not you have added.

Edit: We redeveloped all screens, they all now open in less than 1 second. We took up your proposal on the feed, no need to wait any more, it's instantaneous. As for search, the different covers are left there precisely so you can add any specific cover that you want, and still end up in the same discussion. Thanks for helping us to improve Byzans

4 stars for now as I have just installed and it's a great app all in all. Very easy to use, the layout is easy on the eyes. I just wish there was a way in the My Books tab to group / filter the books as Read, Currently Reading, and Want to Read just like in Goodreads. So that it's easier to track the number of books per category. I do not know any other apps like this one, so I think this is brilliant.

The app is incredible. The interface is a hundred times better than Goodreads. It's very smooth and easy to access things. The groups are very good. I like that there are clubs for each book. However, I'd like to suggest adding three features: one is the reading challenge bar, another is the book recommendation list, and lastly the option to chat with your friends/followers one-to-one.
