Bookaroo is based on the idea submitted by Jared Edwards:
Utilize the Google books api to help metro commuters explore new reading options. The app will be able to hold the preview text of a book randomly selected via the categories the user chooses so that during their no wifi/service metro ride they can see if they find something new.
- As a user I want to be able to select a book genre
- As a user I want to receive a random book from the selected category
- As a user I want the app to be able to display the pertinent information about the book such as: Title, author, genre, ISBN, and summary.
- As a user I want the app to return a preview/sample from the random book.
- As a user I want the app to display the cover of the book.
- As a user I want the app to connect to an API for a book repository such as Google Books or Open Books.
- As a user I want to be able to save books I select to a personal library/list
- As a user I want to be able to tag books as "To Read", "Read", "Not Interested"
- As a user I want the app to download previews of books for off-line browsing.
- As a user I want to be able to rate books I have read
- As a user I want to be able to make comments/notes about books in my library
- As a user I want to have a personal account that only I can access
