Fable: Books & TV Customer Service

Fable: Books & TV Positive Reviews

A favorite appI’m picky with all of my social media. I don’t really want to doomscroll (bc I rather read lol) and I want my time online to be worth it. And this app is worth my time-and yours. I love the app itself (I believe it has a very seamless design and I haven’t experienced any issues myself, and I like that it’s easy to navigate and has many features). It exciting watching myself almost reach my reading challenge, and to get to gush about books with people who get it! I haven’t joined a book club just yet (I’m a mood reader so I jump from book to book, but I want to try a club sometime soon). It’s so cool that it’s even an option to have book clubs!! It’s honestly the best reading social media app and reading tracker app I’ve ever used. There’s no pressure on people’s popularity on the app or if you’re getting enough interaction. People are just vibing and enjoying themselves there. I highly recommend!!.DianrcupanwhomagdosnwpaVersion: 159

Love the idea but….I love the idea of this! And I was excited for this app! But when I was searching up books like, a court of thorn and roses series by Sarah j. Maas, blood and ash series from Sarah j. Maas and along with Jennifer l. Armentrout., crescent city series from Sarah j. Maas. Thorn of glass series from Sarah j. Maas. Flesh and fire series from Jennifer l. Armentrout. If we could some how add this to the app that would be great. Or have a way of adding on book that have not been added or new books coming out! I again can’t tell you how much I love the idea of this app. FINALLY I’m not alone reading. There’s people out there that I can connect with who reads the same books as me. But the only thing is that the books I love and cherish is not on the app. Therefore I can’t discuss it with others and share my excitement and opinions on these amazing books! I want to be able to read these books with someone who is just as interested as I am and shares the same love for them as I do. But for that to begin the book needs to be on the app. Thank you for your time and patience..Melking1600Version: 101

Insanely good customer service.Me and my partner use fable to line up our reading list together, and we’re reading Vampire Science, a Eighth Doctor Adventure out of print book from 1997. This book never had an ebook, so Fable couldn’t automatically detect the chapters to make us milestones. I was looking at how to add my own chapter milestones and set it up arbitrarily, and while I was doing that, fable PROACTIVELY REACHED OUT TO ME and asked me to send them a picture of the table of contents so they could add them for us. This was at like 9:30pm, well past business hours, so I was like “this is so cool, probably tomorrow during business hours, we’ll have it fixed” and MINUTES later, they emailed back and asked me to refresh the app to have the chapters set up properly. Let’s recap: at 9:30pm, they proactively reached out to me, to fix the issue I was having, faster than I could even search the help system to find out if I could fix it myself. Phenomenal. The only minus I have is that I can’t pick Manga Series as our book, just individual volumes, and that’s a whole lot of work, if I were gonna have a One Piece book club or something..SamallmonVersion: 159

Interesting but could use some modificationsI am interested with the concept of this app. I will be interested to see how well the book club feature works. I wish you could save book clubs with out immediately joining that way you can wait to join until you already have the book or aren’t trying to join after it’s already started. I also wish I could customize my lists. There’s no way to sort or reorganize them which I find a little frustrating. However I love the design compared the goodreads and I am interested to see how this app develops. Update: after using for a few more days I’m finding out that I can’t seem to edit or delete posts. It seems like a bug because I try to tap on the three dots on the right hand side and nothing happens. It seems odd that I can’t edit or delete posts so I would like to see this in an update..Rabid fox netVersion: 145

The new standard. Seriously fantastic!I don’t normally write reviews but this felt like the best way to say thanks for the app and the amazing customer service that’s come with it. I’ve reached out to the Fable team now twice, once for a small feature suggestion and the other to report a troll. Both times someone from the team got back to me quickly, and they actually implemented the feature I requested! Seriously appreciated, and of course overall just a wonderful app for the bookish among us. As others have said, even if you’re weary of another social app, give this one a try. No doomscrolling and the people (the ones who use it and the ones who created it) are really nice..Someplaceto.beVersion: 162

Bookish CommunitySo crazy… I was sitting here, a librarian, thinking there should be a digital way to share highlights and annotations as you read with your book club. This app was brought to my attention a few weeks after that thought and I couldn’t be happier!! You can buy the interactive ebook and join a club. The clubs have scheduled so you know which chapters to read when and then you can see what others have noted, you can leave comments, react, and have conversations with other book worms in the club! SO. AMAZING. Hands down—coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time!.HeloVeganBlondie🍌Version: 137

Great app!This app is amazing. Such a friendly and user friendly community and experience. Everything works great, except for one bug. This has made me contemplate deleting the app entirely. I am finishing a book series on my Kindle and was able to add the 2nd to last book to my “read” list. However, when I attempt to add the last book (The Crown, Kiera Cass) the app simply crashes. This is such a huge problem for me, as it does not happen with other books. Just the book I’m reading. I will not be deleting the app because I know it’s a little petty to do so over one book, but please, please fix this crashing problem! I love the app and hate to knock off a star, but the bug is so annoying!.Abby6622979Version: 146.1

Not all book are availableSo I love this app, I really do. BUT it really doesn’t matter how good it is because I can’t use it. My book club members vote for this month’s book and everything was fine until I search for the book in the Fable app and I couldn’t find it. It’s just not there! So we can’t discuss the book there obviously. I mean, we’re not changing the book we want to read just because it’s not available in the app, so it’s really annoying and frustrating and sad, because we really liked the app. 😣.HgadgjklOiyrvnjVersion: 105

Great App, still hoping for some more updatesI love using this app for my book club, I have read several books through this app as well. I do have the app on my phone and ipad, so i often switch off on reading via both devices. The downside to that is i have to remember which page my book was on as there is no ability to sync places via wifi/devices. I have had the opportunity to speak with staff of fable about other app requests and it’s been great to see the app further develop and make advancements. I would love the ability to see this app go even further to support readers on multiple devices!.MJ_fan13Version: 126

One complaintAwesome idea, but I just wish we could modify the notifications. I can have all notifications on for messages in a club, or none. There’s no way, at least that I can find, to modify what kind you get. I want to know when people are chatting in my club, but I don’t want to automatically see messages from chapters I haven’t gotten to yet. It has caused me to see spoilers unintentionally. Also, when I do click on a message from my notifications, it just pulls up that one specific message instead of the whole thread, so you don’t even know what thread they were talking in & you have to go seek it out. The app is a great concept but could definitely use improvements..ToooorrrriiiiiiiiVersion: 107

Book Worm Community 📚❤️I have been interested in joining a book club for a while now. Because I don’t have friends that read, I decided to search for an app for book readers. Fable was the first to capture my attention, I went ahead and downloaded it. So many book clubs were available and I was in awe. I was so happy to have found my community. I haven’t had any issues with this app, I found everything with ease. You can sync your goodreads account with the app as well. I’m a satisfied user. No complaints at all..Winter.MarinoVersion: 124

Love it but..I really love the idea of fable. I use Goodreads and recently discovered fable. Everything synced over I love how it runs like an instagram and there’s book clubs you can join. There really seems to be an active community of book lovers BUT I’m always having issues with the app, my shelves are never up-to-date with whatever I update on Goodreads and when I try to update something I get errors. I hope that they will continue working on this app because it has so much potential if I can get it to work..JH718Version: 151

It has promise.This app has a lot of potential and I love that the team is actively working on it. They are clearly invested in building a great app for book lovers and I expect great things in the future. For me, it’s not the app for me yet. I don’t like that my home page is full of updates from people I don’t follow and am not connected with. I can’t search, sort, or filter my lists. I can’t change the cover of my lists. It’s hard to find people you may know to connect with. I also don’t like that it’s pushed to buy the book and read inside of fable. I mostly use the library for books and I use an app to track my progress and keep my reading history. It’s hard to casually mark a book as being read and update progress. I don’t use book clubs but I think it’s a fantastic concept for those that do. I wish the clubs were a feature rather than the focus. Overall, it’s a promising app. I’m sticking with it because it has potential even though it’s not the right book app for me yet..AshleyLamaRamaVersion: 144

Good features but could use a few more!I love that I can highlight, write notes, and create tabs. A couple features I’d love to see would be a function to search through an entire book and the ability to bookmark multiple pages. Plus, it’d be nice to have more customization options for the reading display, such as offering warmer text and page tones, and altering landscape mode to have only one column of text rather than two..MorningShimmerVersion: 162

Love the app! Still using other apps in additionI love the community aspect of this app. I love how I can add my books and leave reviews. I just wish I could see or add the dates I read a book. Maybe a way to organize my older reads automatically into folders or at least sort my finished books by dates. I also noticed it’s hard to find some mangas on here. I would just like to ask they add more mangas so I can review and share them with others on the app.SonoroussunVersion: 153

Great concept, lacks execution.It just doesn’t foster discussion. It’s very much a numbers game with people who join the clubs as far as participation. Almost every club is people quoting their fave line and moving on, hardly responding to each other. I can understand it leaves users a lot of freedom to participate as they wish but for the most part it only contributes the freedom to not contribute. Would prefer a system that requires more from it’s users. Still, 5 stars. App serves its purpose..AbejrbfhdnenVersion: 115

Getting better!I went to write a review about some things i was having problems with but noticed that people had already written about them AND the developer was responding letting us know that they will be worked on and that made me feel so good and make me want to keep using the app. knowing that the developer wants to hear what we have to say and fix it! love that! but yes definitely need all the sjm books!.WattpadicVersion: 110

There is room for improvement / some bugsFeedback: - When I get the notifications, the app isn’t immediately synced after I open it. I often find myself having to close an app and re-open it to be able to see new notifications - Make a separate section for moderators to make post threads and polls. Participants should not be able to comment - Make followers visible on a profile so it’s more upfront to find them - I toggled off the notification specifically for chapter discussions but I still got them when someone makes a new comment afterwards. I don’t want a spoiler 😩 - Include a feature that allows a moderator to schedule posts and polls - For the book club filter, include member count and maybe some kind of info that shows whether the club is active I may come back again to add more feedback. I really like the app and I want it to be successful. The major issue I have with it is the sync. Please prioritize it 🙌🏽.AnonSwanVersion: 111

The only review I’ll ever write for an appThis app was made for the bookish folks on social media who want to be engaged and actually TALK about books and not just blindly gain followers with pretty book stack pictures. The book club feature is top notch and my TBR has grown so much since using this app, it’s kind of insane. Everyone is pretty respectful and there is little to no drama. The team is quick to respond to feedback. Love love love!.Bianca1226Version: 158

Almost love the app!I’m super excited to use Fable - I’ve already joined several book clubs and started my own. With that said, I couldn’t find one of the books my club is reading and the link for submitting new book requests is broken/been deleted. I sent an email to the support team for it and while I got an automatic response back, I haven’t heard anything else. Hopefully adding new books can be addressed relatively quick because I’m really excited to use this!.Assley317Version: 99

Love it!This app is perfect for all the virtual members of my mostly in-person book club! They can add their insights and be just as involved as other members. One recommendation (or maybe I just can’t see this option); can we add polls for what to read next? And, more importantly, can we create events that showcase the next time and location of bookclub meetings? This would mean that we don’t have to use two apps to manage meetings and discussions! Thank you for all of your hard work👏🏼.Sara.lou11Version: 111

Don’t open the samples lolI love this app but I accidentally opened a sample ebook and now I can’t get the thing to close. I had to completely uninstall the app but then when I went to update my progress for the book after reinstalling it, it went to open the ebook again and yup I can’t close it and get back the the main app. Otherwise, I love this app quite a bit!.Jvz91Version: 146.1

New to the appI just loaded this app and am searching for a book club (or clubs) to join. There are plenty of options to scroll through and it's pretty easy to use but one observation for the developers - once I view a club and close out, I return to the very top of the list and have find where I left off. It would be helpful if you returned to that same point - or if you could order the clubs by name to make them easier to find..Anew. ListenerVersion: 131

Minor requestI absolutely love fable and all that it offers. While I love seeing others posts, reviews and joining the wide variety of book clubs I just have one request and/or problem. I wish you could put multiple pictures in a post. And not just one picture at a time. Other than that the app is 10/10 and I hope to see a change in that problem I mentioned earlier.Ruby&mavisVersion: 165

Great appI personally really like this app, it’s a great way to connect over books and find people to read them with. You can also read books in the app and they even have the classics (Anne of green gables, the picture of Dorian gray, the great gatsby, etc) on there for free. Very friendly community. Definitely recommend this app for all the book nerds in the world..coolgirlVersion: 138

:)I love this app!! There are just a couple bugs I really hope get fixed soon. For example, there seems to be trouble with the UI when trying to look at your own profile. At least for me, I’m unable to scroll down to look at all my lists (although this isn’t an issue within the library tag), and I can’t scroll down to see my older reviews either. Other than that I think this is a great alternative to Goodreads..🎀👓🐈😉Version: 158

Love Fable!I love this app - it not only helps me read more than I normally would but connect with my friends and colleagues to discuss our recent reads. The app helps you discover books based on their curation from celebrities, authors, and influencers and then once you choose a book you can start or join a book club. Our whole company uses Fable for our reading club and have been loving it..NatureBox fanVersion: 4

5 star app.I have never been into books but this app has helped me track the books I’m reading, make digital book clubs with friend (or anybody), and really just enjoy reading! I’ve never been into reading but this app makes me want to read non-stop. If I could give this 6 stars, I would. If you’re debating downloading it, do it..Girls are awsimeVersion: 152

FableI enjoy being able to interact with others who like to read the same types of books that I read. Several members of my family have joined and we started a Family book club to read and discuss the books we each take turns picking..Tricia smithVersion: 158

Needs Desktop CompatibilityI love using this app, but as someone managing a bookclub it’s really overwhelming to try and see all the comments from my phone. Even just having the ability to download it and run a simplified version from my computer, or somehow exporting the comments, would make my life so much easier. Instead, each month I have to go through chapter by chapter to see everyone’s comments, and it’s tedious..JannnnnaVersion: 141

I can’t find half the books I search up.While it’s aesthetically pleasing, I can’t find half of what I’m looking for. I have to keep going back to goodreads then syncing the list to cable. I’ve tried searching up authors to find books easier and still nothing. I understand the app is still small so that’s why it gets 4 stars because other than that it’s great!.AyalamirVersion: 114

Genuinely awesomeMy friend shared this app with me, and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. It has a real feel of community to it with the book clubs and very specific feed for books you’re reading or looking to read. I never write reviews for apps, but this one deserves it. SO much better than goodreads..LukeJackGrizzleVersion: 145

By far my favorite book appI absolutely love this app. I do wish there was a separate feed for people I follow so I can stay updated with what their reading and their reviews on books. I’d also love if there was voice memos incorporated within the book clubs bc sometimes I have so much to say..X-islesVersion: 158

New favorite app… HOWEVERLove everything about it BUT I wish we could search through our lists instead of having to scroll ‼️‼️‼️ Some people have over 100+ books on their lists and I believe a search bar could help look through the lists.CookshizukVersion: 138

Love!I’m new to the reading world and really enjoy connecting with others! It’s an easy to follow layout, looks like a social media feed of books! Only wish they had a reading challenge so I can keep everything in one app! Otherwise - love everything about it!.Beth A E.Version: 149

Almost PerfectWould be great if there was a way to track rereads. I also wish reviewing was easier. The pre added options are limited and I’d rather more options vs the emoji reaction to each book. Quarter stars would also be great. I’m indecisive and need that quarter increment. Other than that the app seems great and easy to use. I especially like how easy the bookclub is to use. Very user friendly!.Cassie CelineVersion: 158

FableI’m loving Fable! I’ve found so many new books to try out and I love that it immedietly shows you readers and posts of people who read and like the same things you do. And everyone is here just to talk and like books, no hate! So it feels really fun and just the bookish place I want.Faithcats&storiesVersion: 148

FableI like fable. The only thing stopping me from loving it is definitely some of my features do not work anymore. I’ve had the app for 3 months and the chapter list use to come down but now it does not. I have closed the app, reinstalled, & even turned my phone off. It still will not let me see my chapter list of my book..F FYI huhVersion: 78

AmazingI never write reviews but I absolutely LOVE that there is a community of book lovers who are so nice to each other and all we do is talk about books. It makes my heart so happy bc I don’t have anyone that loves books as much as I do unfortunately. Thank you for bringing this into my life..Stitch88525Version: 141

Still needs more users but great concept!Maybe I’m on this app a little too soon but I can’t seem to find any book clubs for any of the books that I’ve been reading in the last six months. It’s so sad because I love this idea! I’ve created my own book clubs, but don’t seem to get any traction with other users. I I’ll keep making notes on my readings for only me to see..NotsostudiousVersion: 145

Goodreads but goodBeen a good reads stan since 2014, but the user interface and actual connections with people on fable are just so much better. I also really like te quote feature! good reads also will sync to this app. Still using both, but fable is like real social media.07catalina01Version: 160

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ get this app!!I absolutely love fable. I never leave app reviews but have to for this one. Not only has it encouraged me to read more- I feel like I found my people. Fable is like social media for book lovers. It’s perfect. Way less glitchy than Goodreads too! 10/10 app..MickhuizarVersion: 163

BugLOVE this app. I use it to buddy read with my friend across the country. However every time I open the ereader to sample a book it won’t let me get out of it. I’ve had to delete the app & re-download it multiple times now just to escape the ereader. Overall will never stop using this app, just thought I’d share!.AliciadeneeVersion: 160

As good as a movieEven though I have watched the movie based on that book, I decided to read a book afterwards. I was a little bit scared of heartbreaking stories that could be even more terrifying than in the movie but it was tolerable. Easy read..MarshmariamashaVersion: 111

Features missingI would love to start using this kind of app, but some features are preventing me from doing so full-time. Mainly, not being able to sync eBook purchases to/from the Apple iBooks store and/or Kindle book store. Additionally, I would like to read the books (on iPad) in landscape orientation..Blahblah0625Version: 37

Bye bye GoodreadsThis app has supplanted Goodreads in every way. And even better, the app developers frequently solicit ideas for improvement from users, and actually implement them! It’s a terrific way to track reading and meet similarly bookish new friends :).The ancient mariner 12Version: 153

Reality t.v. Vs the Hunger gamesI like C.N. Crawford, her humor is always enjoyable. If you are one for Reality Television shows and the Hunger games mixed with the Fae, then this book is for you. It took me a bit to get into it, I found it kind of slow, surprisingly, but the story got better with the setup for the second book at the end. Yes, there’s a cliffhanger..MagsInWonderlandVersion: 157

CommunityFor someone who reads way too much and has no friends who like reading, fable was finally finding a community. I have participated in two book clubs already and I downloaded the app like a month ago..PaocardenasVersion: 151

Great, but not quite thereI love using this app with my book club! Having the opportunity to discuss every chapter individually without spoiling, the next one, is a great idea! As of right now, the only downside that I can see, is that a lot of the books I have previously read are not available..Gcase762Version: 108

Brilliant appAs a bookish girlie who has no one to talk to about her books, this app has been a life saver and SO much fun! it’s like if goodreads and instagram had a baby - fable does it all and it’s beautifully designed. so happy i found this app, and thank you to fable for creating a book club component to this app - genius!.GruivsronVersion: 161

I LOVEE but I need more featuresALMOST perfection. BUT I need sub-genres 😩 and I just need a TAD more ways to filter genres. But with all that said… I am confused why this app is not #1 in the “book app” category.JenjenbeanyVersion: 162

Loving this app!It’s a book social media platform that lets you talk about book, join book clubs and post book related content. I’ve been loving it so far. The community is really great!.111112 unbelievableVersion: 160

LoveFinalmente un social media che amo.LavitadimeVersion: 157

Where have you been all my life??Fable has quickly become my new social media addiction. The conversations, book clubs, reviews, recommendations, book lists, progress tracking are simply awesome. I'm in Canada and can't purchase the interactive ebooks but that's not a big deal to me. I love the app!!.LibraAngel74Version: 154

Never moreSlow burn. Harder for me to get into but once I was in it, I was in it! I would definitely recommend!.KybevsVersion: 156

Good concept that I hope continues to developI like the concept of this app being a more interactive Goodreads. I love the book club aspect and that you can comment so much on books with quotes and reviews! I wish that you could add friends easier. I am excited with how they may develop the app further..CasserPanVersion: 148

That UI/UX! ♥️ Add a DM tool plz!Still some work for sure but I’m seeing so much potential in this! I think reply threads along with their notifications need to be worked on. It gets a bit overwhelming when you going through things and you’re aren’t sure what you’re looking at! Maybe have it move TO the new notification? Also, add a DM tool so we don’t have to overkill the comment section! A better book search system. Write “book 1, book 2, etc) in the title plz so we know which one we are adding and reading. Awesome job team! Keep it up!.__xvVersion: 143

I don’t strangers content on my feedI love the interface so far and being able to import from Goodreads is truly a great feature. I really don’t like Home Screen. I don’t want to see random strangers posts. Maybe I’m missing something in the settings to turn this off?.Aem0119Version: 141

A great start!I love the concept of this! It’s a nice user friendly interface. I just wish you could find/add real life friends and discuss books with them as well as with strangers..FionaameneyroVersion: 141

Low inventoryI’ve enjoyed Fable thus far. However, Fable doesn’t have the next book my group wants to read. I sent a request to add the book two weeks ago and still no response. If they had more books to choose from, I would be more inclined to give a higher rating..ElenorbearVersion: 136

Fable: Books & TV Negative Reviews

Sadly, I have concluded it is boringWas so stoked for this app, but all the suggestions seem designed to follow the most virtuous reader’s good intentions by leaning heavily into multiculturalism. That’s great in theory, and I do want to read some of those books, but I also want books that are attuned to my actual and specific interests. With no data tied to my existing e-book-reading habits, this just ends up offering me well-intentioned reading lists created by NPR celebrities. Which I already get from NPR! Super boring..Jim's alter egoVersion: 17
