App Bookawardpro Reviews 

It is in the small print, but for a huge amount of money they only put you up for one award. I wrongly presumed they would put all authors up for a number of them to spread the likelihood of being placed. I'm a UK author writing in UK English, and they put me up for a US award. Which I was the top finalist, so don't think I'm moaning because it didn't do well. It's just awfully expensive.
Secondly their timescales are really bad. The award was over a month late. And the 3 reviews, which again are very expensive for what they are, eventually came in 2 months after I had sent a number of emails.
I believe the company is possibly legitimate, but it is not run very well.
For a company that needs customers (authors) to give them money for a service, they have a strange way of forgetting they have to deliver a service, and alienating those same customers. If it were me and I offered a service I would at least make it appear cost effective to the customer, and then would deliver the service I promised on time.
A very strange way to run a business.
On the plus side, if you do contact them (a lot) they eventually deliver.

I tried out BookAwardPro and have to say that the experience was a waste of time, effort, and money.

I signed up for their highest level to see what it was like after reading positive reviews online. Even though I paid a pretty high monthly fee to join, all of the awards available required additional payment to apply. So I'd easily be out several hundred dollars just to apply for one award, and not even know if I would win one. Reviews can purchased for $199 a batch for three; and again, you don't know if the reviews will be positive, negative, or ambivalent. And whatever review you get, will be posted.

Then I went to Google and simply typed in free author awards, free indie author awards, free first time author awards, and so forth. I found a list of awards I could apply for immediately all within a few minutes without spending a penny.

So then I thought I should cancel since their highest version is $69 per month and that's money I could use to put toward Amazon ads, Facebook ads, or just saving or using to pay bills. I couldn't find any settings in their site to cancel. I asked ChatGPT and found out, sure enough, there is no way to cancel through their website and no email address listed to contact them, either. After a few minutes I was able to query ChatGPT and find some email addresses. Once I emailed them to ask for cancellation, I was given a secret link to use to cancel and eventually was emailed a notification of cancellation effective immediately.

Overall, I'd say I can't recommend this since they have several practices such as not openly listing a cancellation link or stating that most of their reviews will cost more and can cost alot for each award. I did not find, either, that if you want to upload an additional book that you'd have to go ahead and pay for an additional account.

It's far easier to simply use Google search, much less costly, and the fact that BookAwardPro does not publicly list email addresses, phone numbers, or cancellation links clearly under Billing, Settings, or Account it made me feel it was best not to use their services.
