Book Club app: guides and FAQ
Book Club is our free reading app. Every month, readers in ten genre clubs read the same book and talk about it as they go. Discussions unlock as you log your pages, so nobody can spoil a chapter you haven't reached.
It's also a really good reading tracker: shelves, streaks, a yearly goal, badges, and a timer for your reading sessions. And if you've ever ordered from Blindly, your boxes show up in the app too.
Guides
- Getting started: create your account, join clubs and bring your library across.
- Clubs and discussions: the monthly pick, spoiler-safe threads, friends and your feed.
- Tracking your reading: logging sessions, streaks, goals, badges and reminders.
- Your Blindly boxes in the app: connect your account, follow your box and reveal your book.
FAQ
Is the app free?
Yes. The app is free to download and use, tracker and clubs included.
Do I need a Blindly subscription?
No. Anyone can use Book Club. And if you've ordered from Blindly before, subscription or one-off box, you can connect your account: your Blindly books land on your shelf and you can follow your boxes from the app.
Which phones does it work on?
iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play).
How do I sign in?
With Apple, Google, or your email and a password. If you've ordered from Blindly, sign up with the same email you order with. That's how the app finds your Blindly account.
The app can't find my Blindly account
The app looks for a Blindly account with the same email as your Book Club account. If you signed up with a different email, or with Apple's Hide My Email, it won't find a match. Sign up with the email you use for Blindly orders and try again.
What are the clubs?
Fantasy, romantasy, horror, thriller, mystery, dark romance, dystopian, historical fiction, sci-fi and romance. Join as many as you like.
Will I see spoilers?
Not if you log your progress. Each discussion is tied to a point in the book, and it only opens once you've read that far.
Can I bring my Goodreads or StoryGraph library?
Yes. Export your library as a CSV file and import it from your Shelf. The getting started guide walks through it.
Can I buy books in the app?
No. Blindly boxes are sold on blindlybooks.com.
Can I turn off notifications?
Yes. Go to Profile, then Settings, to choose which reminders and alerts you get, and when.
How do I delete my account?
Profile, then Settings, then Delete my account. It removes your account and your data.
Something isn't working. Who do I tell?
Use Help & your requests in Settings, or email us at support@blindlybooks.com. We read every one.
