Suggest New Features > Likes and Comments

Is it possible to add friends who are not authors but are interested in reading and reviewing?

Perhaps move the Deep Book Anaylse out on it's own page instead of being on each book page.
Where is is currently is confusing. Can I upload any book or only the book listed on the page?

Sometimes I'll catch errors in a manuscript, bits of editing. I would like to provide feedback on them, but if I put that in my review, then it will show up if the author wants to use the review image option.

What about a second input text field for comments like these, meant to be useful for the author but which don't belong in a review?

I think you misunderstood what I meant.
Because the Deep Book Anaylse appears on the my book page it gives the impression you can only upload the book listed on the page.
I was meaning can I upload an unpublished book I have written or must it be the one on the page.

I like the idea of private suggestions from reviewers. A similar setup (Get Books Reviewed) has that built inl

Since I haven't been able to find a search capability in Revvue, I wonder if a spreadsheet might work for some writers. I made a quick prototype on Google Sheets with an open link so anyone can enter to find out the right book & most important, the genre(s) Revvues organizes them into.

I'll put the link on our FB account as well.

Is there a way to add BookBub in addition to Amazon and GoodReads? I would love to have more BookBub reviews as well.

Is there a way to add keywords about the books? It might help while searching for books.

Hi Maggie, if you're considering adding BookBub and Kobo, maybe you might want to add Barnes and Noble too since it's a popular site for authors and readers alike.

By the way, thanks for the opportunity with Revvue. It really does help.

Kind regards Emil

There isn't any $50 purchase requirement on either Barnes and Noble or Kobo and you can leave reviews even if you haven't bought on their sites.

Kobo does, however, have verified mark if purchased directly at their site.

I don't know about BookBub so can't speak for their system.


Kind regards Emil

Another feature that may be interesting is the possibility of reviewing audiobooks on audible, though I understand that will not be in the near future since your in development with other ideas for now.

That would be great! I have lots of Audible codes and I'm having a hard time giving them away. I would love to give them away so that people don't have to pay.

Could we add a feature where we can give the author feedback on the grammar of the story? That way, we can help them make corrections to errors we spot along the way while reading through their story, and it will ultimately benefit them in fixing up their manuscript. I'm not exactly sure how you would install that feature, but maybe when submitting the review you leave, you could also list the page number and sentence of grammatical errors and typos you spotted so they can correct them instead of allowing it to sit there.

Of course! Thanks for taking my suggestion into consideration.

Grammar. I found in e-publishing when a mss is uploaded glitches slip in. so no matter if corrected its the upload transfer that causes this. Given the price differential and English is different to the US version and neither are consistent anyway that this obsession with spelling gets rather pedantic instead of reading for pleasure. I used to be an internet e-book publisher and my motto was: if its readable its publishable.

Should be simple. Include a second text field in the review page for notes to the author. When an author examines the reviews of their book, this additional information shows up here, and only here.

Grammar. By the time we leave school we know how to express what we write about. Its the feel of how the words gel that's important. Not school rules that back then were necessary. Take musical notation. Scales and chords. Rhythm comes with the tune. Yet jazz is anything but. They did the practice and now they wreck the rules. So why not writers. Poets do. Anybody ought to if it is readable. Pedants are the last thing a writer needs. If it flows it grows as in develops of its own, meaning the writer's input volition.

Would it be possible for the Like Review button to indicate when it has already been clicked for a particular review?

I love the graphics that we can download with reviews layered on them. But long reviews get truncated on the prettiest designs, alas! Any fix for that?

Also, could we get a few more choice thrown in? I write YA and Kidlit, almost all of it set in a Victorian era-style world.

Recently, I've been experiencing some unfortunate issues that have caused confusion and delays. Is there a way to notify authors and readers of any changes or delays BEFORE they occur?

Could we please extend the review period? Finding the time the time to read any full length novel in a week is difficult when balanced with all the other obligations of living.
Maybe add it in as a feature for the author to select where they can award more points for a faster review?

It would be really nice to be able to hide books from showing in your options to read that you would never select to read. It would also be nice to know the degree of cussing and sexual content a book contains before you select it.
