Goodreads App Reviews

This app has been a good tool to keep track of my reading. I like it.

I struggle w this app. I’m looking for good books and it’s just not easy to use this app.

A+

How do I get the audio book

Simply great

I’m a long time goodreads member. Since they have introduce ads into the iOS version, the UI experience has s***** beyond belief. I can’t scroll down the screen in certain areas. I’m better off pulling up the site on safari. Two use 👎🏻

Love this app. It’s good at recommending books I might like. So far, it’s not been wrong! Highly recommend.

Ann Patchett, one of my favorite authors, has done a masterful job of both character and plot development. The end left me wishing for more

Great, just wish it were easier to modify text (eg bold text, italicize, etc), took me quite a while to figure out how to do it

This is an amazing app, it helps me very much with finding new books to read. I just hope that soon there will be a feature where it will show the age rating for the book and if there are any curse words in some of the books.

Susie Larson did a wonderful way of sharing her story and her circumstances and how she moved from the here and now and looked forward to God’s promise- eternity. So often, we let our body determine how we feel, what we do and Fully Alive shows us that the healing begins inside in our spirit and how important our mind is in that process. I am excited about my future after reading this beautiful book.

Love Goodreads! If it’s not my favorite app, then it’s in the top 3. Always have it open when I’m in the library or bookstore and can’t remember what book I want to read. I recommend it to everyone, especially people who are looking for book ideas.

The recommendations function of this app has helped me find some great books that I never would have known about otherwise.

Having traveled in Asia extensively for business, I found the history about Korean-Japanese relations and the treatment of Korean immigrants to be very enlightening. The information about the Christian Church in colonial Korea was also interesting. By the end of the book though, I was beginning to wonder what the point of the book was supposed to be. It’s a bit like a Mitchner family chronology. I just wish there would have been a transcendent theme. In any case, kudos to Ms Lee for a good story.

please please please fix the search feature so when i very clearly type in the title of a book i am not given the most random results. EXAMPLE: when searching for “hidden figures” the first book that pops up is “freakonomics.” the search results never matches what you are searching until you’ve got 99% of the book typed in.

Really enjoyed this novel. If you like a good spy tale, you should like this book. A lot of good espionage tradecraft details, written by a former pro. Jason Matthews has also created many rich and believable characters. The perceptual powers of the Red Sparrow herself, Dominika, may strain credulity, but it’s done in a way ingeniously illuminates the story. I wish I had that power.

It really has all of the features I’d want it to have. I check it before purchasing or even trying a book. I love the collections I can create, the honest criticisms and ratings from fellow readers, and the barcode scanner that helps me find a book instantaneously. Great application. I recommend for anyone who reads a lot or wants to read more.

I throughly enjoyed these books. Enjoyable short and can read on bus or train. Car and flight. I can’t wait for more to be on goodreads. Thankyou so much

Love at first sight isn't always smooth going, often there are many bumps on the way - and so it goes for Garrick and Hannah. Garrick is a complex character that Dawn has created as our erstwhile hero. He's been to war and carries scars and does not feel worthy of our dear Hannah. Hannah is a sweet young woman that is faced with challenges of her own but faces them with her head held high, she is a strong character and well developed by the author. The storyline is well thought out and introduces us to these and other fun and intriguing characters. I look forward to Ms. Hamilton's next book, hopefully we'll get to learn more about Warwick. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Goodreads is a great place for me to keep track of all my books: the ones I want to read, have read, and am currently reading. It’s incredibly helpful in helping me organize my books. Thank you!

Goodreads, I adore you. But could you please get a better search functionality?

Good app but look is getting a little stale. Could use a facelift.

I like this app , my only qualm with it is that there isn’t the chance to view quotes from the book like you can the goodreads website

Overall, a great app for tracking books that you’ve read and for providing reviews from other readers. Some of the user functionality could be improved a bit but not a major issue.

Good app for basic functions. But where are the lists you can search and browse on the desktop website?

I started using the app again after about 6-8 months. I’m using an iPhone X. For some reason, page updates register only about 1 out of 10 times. Quitting the app, going to percentages and uninstalling and reinstalling have not solved the problem. Please help!!! Used to be a definite five star app for me! Bryan

Every thing is great, just would appreciate being able to send people links to my Goodreads on my phone.

I use it to keep tabs on my ebooks and physical books, and categorize by genre. It works well, except that it’s slow. Also, when I go to my Read list to tag multiple books, it takes me back to the top of the list instead of the previous tagged book. Also the app is slow in retrieving older books.

What happened to the progress tracker???? For the last few days the tracker is not showing my percentage read, only the page number I’m on. This is really discouraging. FIX THIS ASAP!

You used to be able to force touch the icon and get shortcuts to various parts of the app. Now when you do it the only option is to share the app.

I love this app, it’s really getting me motivation to keep reading and finding new books !!! Especially since I haven’t read much since college bc it took away the fun of reading and only now I’m starting to get back into it :’) But please make the mobile app better lmfaoo I would love more interaction with friends and making it easier to make new ones. I would love for this to be one of my top social apps bc it serves a purpose other than getting likes and whatnot ya know!? Make it fun, make it aesthetic, make it more interesting for younger people to be excited about reading !! Jusf a thought :~)

I have found a Good Reads to be a fantastic way to discover and share my favorite books. Pairing it with my Amazon account I am able to view the various passages I highlight during my reading. I then have the opportunity to take notes on them and share both with friends and family. In a time where I am deleting apps off my phone in order to regain valuable time and presence, Good Reads has a well-earned place among the remaining tools that enrich my life.

Fantastic app and easy to navigate. Does everything that the website does!

Loved this book - the back and forth of how each of the women had different versions of their friendship and how pettiness, jealousy and control took them all down.

A very useful app that helps you keep track of your books and if you do like to post your progress it is very easy to use. I also like the recommendations on your next book.

Why are certain features- like quotes - available on the desktop version but not the app? It’s super annoying and I end up having to go between desktop and mobile in order to access everything. I love goodreads, but the app is super buggy and frustrating.

I don’t understand how it is so well integrated with the wonderful Kindle app, yet at the same time any book I read is forcibly shared with anyone in my GR friends list. If I can’t keep certain books private, even after tons of ppl have requested private shelves, then no thanks, I rather not use GR at all.

Hi! Love the app, but I would like to be able to rate a book 4.5 stars instead of with full stars. Sometimes the book is not quite a 5 or not quite a 4!

Great website, the app is not as handy, often unwieldy. Still prefer to use the site on the internet, but app is helpful when standing in the library, trying to figure out what to read next.

I like GoodReads a lot although I find the app somewhat counter-intuitive. I have always kept a running list of books I read and with GoodReads I started doing it electronically. However, the app has lost track of my complete list with titles disappearing mysteriously. Anyway, if I were an app designer, I would organize it differently - but I am not so I use GoodReads and hope for the best.

However, the app is not as good or easy to maneuver as the webpage. Still have to go to webpage to pick up my shelves or make a pin, so not much has changed since I first reviewed it —————- 3/22/18 I am choosing to reload this based solely on the writeup of the latest version. I don’t suffer fools so I’ll give it a week —— 3/31/2018 This “upgraded version” is worse... can’t find anything I need so back to a link on the tablet faves ——— 9/19/18 With the new Apple upgrade I thought maybe this would work better. I was dead wrong. It’s so slow

Wish this had all the same features as on the website, like giveaways and ect. This is a very basic version of goodreads which is fine but would be better with more.

Love it! I'm always scanning books that I want to read in the future. I can keep track of where I left off. See what other books are written from my favorite authors. Great app!!!👍😃

I love the idea of the app and the app itself when it’s working but frequently my home page will not load.

I have been tracking all of my books for a few years now in the app. I love all the features and use it every day. This new version has some good features but the home screen doesn’t load anymore. I can’t see what my friends are reading anymore and do not see trending titles like I used to. I would love an easier way to track audiobooks too. Going in the book details and scrolling through 35 versions of a book before finding an audiobook version is annoying. Please also create a DNF tag so we can easily track books we do not finish. Right now, I delete them from my shelves so i do not get credit for reading them. I would also like to pull up previous years reading challenges so i can see my trends up or down. Thank you for a great app!

Review to come

I don’t leave reviews. How cliche???? But it’s true. So, when I wanted to link my library account, but couldn’t, I reached out through customer service expecting in a few weeks to get a canned response that tells me I’m an idiot for wanting to do what I was asking. Instead, within a day, I get a response from Mariana g. (Title is a Goodreads expert, and that is an understatement). She tells me she just added my library and gave very simple instructions. The app itself is awesome. I love that I’ve been able to track my 100s of books over the last few years. It has saved me from rereading terrible books that I’ve forgotten I've read. And I’ve gotten some great suggestions for books that might interest me. I can’t recommend this enough for beginning through heavy readers.

There is no other app out there like this. Track what you have read, share great books with your friends, find new books too. I find this particularly useful for finding out the order of books in a series.

I need recommendations .. so hard to get answers .. ?

The site automatically loads all books purchased on Amazon, but I wish it included Apple iBooks and Barnes and Noble purchases and other bookstores. I love the free books that some authors give away for a lottery. I like the listing of author’s biographies. I also like how it keeps track of books that your Facebook friends are reading. It list of obscure books that are good reads. Great site.

Got off of social media & started reading more. Great app when it’s working. Home page has not been loading for a while. Love how the app connects with Kindle. Love to have a place to save my books.

The app is kind of confusing to use

The app used to be great! But the main newsfeed won’t load for me now. Doesn’t matter if I restart or update my phone, or if I’m connected to great WiFi... it just won’t load.

Goodreads gives me a place to store the details about every book I’d like to read and books I’ve read. It’s also useful for making decisions about which books to actually read by reading reviews from other readers. Over time, I’ve “friended” readers around the world who share my taste in books and often get ideas from their lists as well. I especially like being able to store book notes and reactions here and to share them with others.

I would give this app 5 stars and would have in the past. However, for the past few months home page feed never loads on my iPad. A quote appears and the loading circle notification spins and spins and updates from my feed never load. I can still add books, see my shelves, see progress from my reading challenge, etc., but I can’t see my friends’ updates. My iOS is up to date. Also, I can’t access giveaways in the app, only on the desktop.

I have been having logging in issues, and it has been frustrating.

Great quality as an app as well on any devices you may have and not excluding the PC’s. Wonderful for reading, getting to know the Author as well interesting books, and best of all its free.

I enjoy this app and primarily got it to track what I own. I have created a custom Owned shelf. The recommendation that I have is to be able to quickly display your custom shelves in the same display as the Read, Currently reading, and To read. Currently there is an extra click for ‘other shelves’. I also would like to edit the default shelf to a custom shelf, instead of the three default ones.

This sooo dump I hate this app so much 🤬🤬

I❤️goodreads

In my short time using this application, it’s been fantastic. I’ve had no problems with my usage. My usage being using this app as a list of books I’ll be purchasing in the future.

It’s super glitchy. Often changes the status of my books. And when I select “want to read” moves them into the “read” category.

I have many many lag It is slow too much

The Goodreads service used to be somewhat useful. I read a LOT, over 100 books per year, and I originally started using Goodreads so I could keep track of what books I wanted to read for when I would visit the used paperback book store. Nowadays, I mostly read books on my Kindle, and of course Goodreads was acquired a number of years ago by Amazon. I have to big complaints about the app: 1.) They present you with banner ads, and they are not even RELEVANT banner ads. Yes, you’re using their app to spoon-feed them marketing information about book-buying preferences, not to mention your hobbies and interests and tons of other golden data. Is that enough? NO! They still have to present you with cheesy banner ads like you normally see on poorly-made video games! UGH!!! 2.) Every time you finish a book, you get a s***** notification saying, “Start a conversation...share your notes on this book...blah blah blah.” When you read as much as I do, this is just irritating and annoying, and I cannot find any way to turn it off. Maybe it’s fine if you read five books a year, but when you read over 100, that’s multiple books PER WEEK, and I am NEVER going to respond positively to those notifications. Those two things right there have me *THIS CLOSE* to just deleting my Goodreads account for good. I don’t really see the value in it any more, and it appears that the Goodreads product management group is determined to k*** the goose that lays golden eggs with their invasive ads and poor user experience.

I really like the app it keeps everything organized for me. Helps me remember what I’ve read and what I’m planning to read in the future. But I’d give it four star because I couldn’t find every book I searched for especially foreign books. I wish there would be an option where me can recommend adding a book if it’s not listed in the app.

Love it! The app is easy to follow, very friendly.

I love this app. I does almost everything I need to research and keep track of my reading activities. But I'm not crazy about the recommendations section. The list barely never changes. I'd like to be able to swipe away the ones I'm not interested in to make room for more selections. And the same books appear in more than one list. I've actually selected books to put into my want to read list and then deleted them so that new selections will be added. Thanks

It’s like BookIt for grown ups! A summer reading program that lasts all year. A great way to show off to friends and family.

Love being able to easily track what I’ve read as well as when. Also helps me have one place to keep that “to read” list.

This app is basically the same as keeping a list of books I’ve read on a spreadsheet, but with less ability to categorize. The only benefit is any book I open on amazon will automatically be added to goodreads, however it doesn’t feed back into my amazon account to tell me I’ve read the book already. I’d like to be able to note which books I started reading but just couldn’t get through it. The only options is “want to read” “currently reading” or “read”. You can add a new shelf but it doesn’t let you categorize the book as did not finish.

I love goodread, I find some of my best books there and I can check what my friends are reading. Thank you

Love the dark hunter series love love love it read up to styxx now so far hated him in all the books for what he did to his brother but as they say there’s 3 sides to every story and after reading this wow I understand what that means I love all the books read several more than once love fantasy lover seize the night and Acheron read them over so many times now styxx is in that group if you havent read the series you should read them in order it helps and this is one series that stays true to its characters once you start you won’t stop I wasn’t gonna read styxx I hated his character and what he did now I’m glad I did now I know why and he’s one of my favorites now

So I love the idea seems like a really good app I like the set up all of that is fantastic my problem is that you have to have use kindle with it. Which seems a little ridicules to me. Like why download this app but then half to go and make an account for ANOTHER book reader app. I personally think this app would be A LOT better if I didn’t have to also have a kindle account. Like I said love the idea but was very frustrated by that little detail. If this gets resolved (it probably won’t) I may give it five stars and re-download the app.

I started this series backwards. Read 6th one the looked for more that Catherine Bybee wrote. I have not laughed or cried as much with an author. You root for Mary and Glen to find happiness, just hope that it will work out. Support from her bff and extended friends help Mary to just go with it. I now have to reread 6th again. Ready to read more from Catherine.

I'm loving this app! I tried Goodreads a few years ago on my PC, but at the time I didn't realize there was an app and I ended up not using it very much. I recently got a Kindle and since it has Goodreads built-in, that got me back on the platform and I downloaded the iPhone app too. Goodreads is a fantastic way to explore popular and new books, as well as sharing recommendations with friends and keeping track of book I've read and books I want to read. I'm loving the intuitive interface, and it's so awesome being able to update my progress from my Kindle. The iPhone app makes it fast and easy to update even for books that aren't on my Kindle, and I also use it to keep a running wishlist. Keep up the good work, Goodreads!

Great app. Love having the capability to archive novels I have read or would like to read. Virtual library it’s great.

Luv it

I don’t usually leave app reviews but I truly love this app. I love being able to set reading goals and find new and exciting books that I want to read! I wish it had a notification when a book that you want to read, but hasn’t been released yet, comes out! I discovered a few series that I fell in love with but sequels haven’t been put out quite yet and that would be very handy. This app helped me rediscover my love of reading after a few years of hiatus so honestly, truly, thank you.

Unfortunately, as with most forms of social media, bullies hide behind the anonymity of a keyboard and think it’s okay to say whatever mean and nasty things they want to say about a book, an author or even readers and the app owners do nothing to discourage it. Everyone’s taste in books is different. If you read something you don’t care for, write a review and explain why, or better yet, don’t waste your time reading a book you don’t like. If you must write a review, write constructively. It serves no purpose to belittle other readers for their taste in books. You lose credibility when you attack readers instead of constructively explaining any issues you have with the subject, plot, characters etc. I listened to an audio book that I really enjoyed. Compared to many of the books I’ve recently read this was a breath of fresh air. I went on Goodreads thinking I might find fellow readers who enjoyed it only to find this app filled with as much hate and bullying as twitter and other social media. I’m very disappointed and have deleted the app. People ruin most good concepts. This is nothing but reality television in app form. Treat people with kindness. Don’t spread hate.

I absolutely LOVE this app. There is only one thing that frustrates me... the “compare books” feature is gone. Or at least I’m not seeing it anywhere. Please bring that back!!

Can u read a book? Like in the app

Did not like the ending. I felt let down.

This app was recommended to me by a friend and I’m glad I got this app it helps me keep track or what books I’m reading or what ones I have read and the ones I want to read which is very helpful and I also love how it give each day or week a trending book at the moment, it helps me discover more books that I want to read

This really is a great app; however, as an author I wish it had features for authors to update their blogs and all the other things that we can do on the website.

I love this app! I was in a reading slump for a couple of years, and I was told by my sister that downloading this app would help me get back into the books. And oh man, it really did! I’ve found so many books that I wanted to read. Reading thousands of reviews definitely helps spark interest in picking up a book again. This app has basically every book out there so the possibilities are endless. Thank you Goodreads! You’ve replenished my love for reading!

As an avid reader - the Goodreads app is super helpful and enjoyable. I tend to read a lot of classics and I find the discussion, notation of editions, and interaction with friends a good experience. It's also a great way to connect with books that are no longer in print :)

Umm.. I don’t know what to do on it like can we actually read the books on the app?

I think we all agree that Goodreads is the best app for book organizing but i think a search bar should be added when looking for the right edition, it takes a lot of time and energy to scroll through 1200 editions to fight the right one... really. I hope you’ll read this and think of it. Thanks

Needs a 4th standard shelf. As is, they are To read Currently reading Read 4th needs to be tried to read or DNF. This needs to be added so the DNF books don’t bloat the other shelves.

I love this app. It’s a great way to connect with fellow book lovers. I love getting to see other people’s opinions on books I’ve read and want to read. My only thing is that some updating of the app would be nice. For example, when I get a friend request it would be nice for me to be able to go to their page and accept it instead of me accidentally adding them. I wish we could do everything that’s available if we were to be on the actually website.

Half the fun of reading books is finding out all about them before you do.

This app has some interesting books that I would like to read but I’m confused on where to go to read them... I’ve tried clicking on just about everything but nothing has given me the option to read.

I love how involved an app this is. I love the book club discussions, lists and limitless ideas of which book to read next! I ❤️Goodreads.

Hello guys, Why till now we still can’t have our progress update from audible and the user need to do this manually, you r same company aren’t you!

I keep finding different limitations everyday. I can’t view the blow without going to a browser first then opening it in the app. I can’t comment on blog posts. I am constantly wanting to add quotes while away from my computer but the app doesn’t have a link for that or to search quotes. Love the site. The app is close to worthless for me.

ETA: Oh, look, an update and the homepage STILL won’t load! I’ve used Goodreads for years, and in general love it. The app, despite recent improvements, still drives me batty. The main problem is that Home (with all of my friends’ updates) takes *forever* to load, and often refuses to load at all, which is infuriating. The other problem is that when I see a book’s description in my home feed & want to read more, tapping on “read more” doesn’t simply expand the rest of the text, it takes me to the book’s main page, WHERE THE REST OF THE TEXT IS STILL HIDDEN!!!!!! I then have to click “read more” there, and then navigate back to my home feed, where the s***** app will have LOST MY PLACE and sent me back not the top! Come **ON**, Goodreads!!! Let me expand the text and stay on the updates screen! I don’t want to navigate back & forth & click three or four times just to see the rest of a book blurb!!!!

This book was an entertaining plethora of short stories with intense imagination & recognized fears. It offers humor, science fiction, expressive drama, & an intriguing array of interpretations that can be perceived in your own personal magnitude. It starts with ‘Mercy’, about an innate light on intellectual survival through an invasion of poisonous warfare & the immense possibility of other forms of existence. It ends with ‘Season Finale’, which is an explicit version of an alternative to the truth of resurrection. The author’s mind is filled with a playground of slip-n-slide ideas involving some of our worst enemies entwined in the cobwebs of a haunted forest. There are devils inside some of the featured stories disguised as angels with a twisted tilt to their glowing halo that you’ll fail to notice until the final words. Thought-provoking views inspires challenging ideas exploring unique personalities in the characters & of alternate universes. This book offers the twists & turns of a roller coaster with jolting endings to each story leaving you wanting another ride.

I love this app! One suggestion I have though, is to give us the ability to see our previous year's Reading Challenges. If there is a way currently, I have no idea how to get to it.

I adore Goodreads so I hate only giving it 3 stars right now especially when their app is definitely improving. However, their Groups and Lists sections and all the non-personal-bookshelf sections need some serious TLC. I would be far more likely to use the app if these things were updated in some more useable fashion.

Recommendations are a PITA as they insist on using cover flow vs a grid of book covers. Even Apple retired that functionality as cumbersome. 8/22/18 UPDATE - it’s still 1982 in GoodReads land!

I practically use this app every single day. It is amazing. It helps me find books I never would have seen otherwise. It is a book lifesaver. I was at the point where I had read almost ever book in my section of the library, and GoodReads really helped me find MUCH more books to read. I give it 5 stars.

يحتاج الى تطوير باللغة العربية

Not full book

This app is so frustrating, I have deleted it from my iPhone, my iPad, and my fire. If I could get it off my Kindle PW, I would delete it there too. I hate this app.

Gimme negative stars so I can tank twilight!!!! Also half stars and give me more recommendations and stop counting my 3 star reviews as books I enjoyed

I’ve used Goodreads for years, and in general love it. The app, despite recent improvements, still drives me batty. The main problem is that Home (with all of my friends’ updates) takes *forever* to load, and often refuses to load at all, which is infuriating.

For the most part I love this app. One thing I’m going to try is the exclusive dnf shelf but having it already there would be great especially if that made sure it didn’t get counted and you wouldn’t have to see it all the time. Also, I love getting the emails with book recommendations BUT when you tap Want To Read in the email it takes you to the website and wants you to log in instead of taking me to the app where I’m always logged in. It’s a minor detail but such a pain. I don’t want to try and remember another password every time I like the sound of a book.

I am able to track my progress in a book and be apart of the book community

This is a terrific app - keeps me in track with my reading.

Anytime I’m scrolling down a list of books (recommended, categories, books “everyone should read”) I scroll the first 15-20 then get to the bottom and the “more” button is behind the bottom navigation bar. I’m unable to go any further. Occasionally the more button is available, but typically it’s inaccessible.

HOW DO YOU READ THE BOOK! Please help I don’t know how!

I love Goodreads and being able to keep track of books I have read and would like to read. However, the app will display that I have a notification, but when I go into the app and look at notifications, it won’t show the new one 90% of the time. And the little notification number won’t disappear until I open and close the notifications page multiple times (still never showing me my new notification). It’s a little frustrating to never be able to actually read my notifications.

Goodreads has every possible book in it’s database. It is very thorough. No other book site compares.

This is the first gothic romance I have ever read. Unsure what drew me to it but I’m glad it did. Well written with great character developments. Story held my interest from start to finish. I had a little trouble with the Scottish vocabulary in the beginning but it was ok. Don’t be afraid, it is only used a little. I would probably have given the story a 5 star but I was a bit disappointed that I needed to read the next book to see what happened next, though this story did come to a reasonable ending if you don’t want to continue

I love being able to share my book reviews with my friends! However the reason why I rated it a 4 is because I wish that the ratings will be in 0.5 increments. Other than that, love the app!

Great app. I love Goodreads. Makes it simple to check good reviews on books I’m interested in and keep track of what I have or what I might want.

Excellent and thought provoking about what works and doesn't work in helping the world to be a better place.

I read so much and am always seeing things I want to read. Great tool to keep up with everything and also look for recommendations.

I haven't had this app very long and have seen a few issues. The main issue is that the app drains my battery life quickly. Another problem is the scanner. Some books it says not found. I can search them just fine. It just takes longer. I was going through my read list and a book was added that I never even heard of. Some I hadn't rated showed that they were. I wish it was a bit easier adding books in a series to a list. Some don't have the more option so I have to click each one. At first I had skipped the challenge, but decided to give it a try. I was disappointed that I couldn't add the books I did read this year to it. Trying to go through a list it'd sometimes refresh. For the most part I like the app. I'd love to put every book I own, but that'd just take way too long.

Bumped to see post to Facebook discontinued. It was one of more favorite features!!!

La escritura de Marcelo Lillo (Chile, 1957) me hizo pensar en un rio ancho y profundo, cuya superficie registra apenas suaves movimientos. Así mismo como la vida transcurre allí en el fondo y no en la superficie, del mismo modo opera su literatura: en la profundidad del lector. Lillo, profesor de secundaria en provincias, comenzó a escribir a los 15 años pero publicó por vez primera a los 50, cuando el crítico Ignacio Echevarría supo de él en un concurso de cuentos. El escritor entonces vivió -y aborreció- la consabida fama literaria, y ello lo llevó a desaparecer del mundo editorial por 5 años, refugiado en Niebla, un pueblo a 870 kilómetros de Santiago. Su reaparición llega con De vez en cuando como todo el mundo, 30 cuentos, algunos conocidos y otros nuevos, en los que el autor despliega su capacidad extraordinaria para narrar con sencillez y austeridad la desolación, lo inevitable, de lo cotidiano. No veremos héroes ni antihéroes en estos relatos, solo vidas corrientes enfrascadas con resignación en los tópicos de existir, de amar, de perdonar, de aceptar la vida como es. Por ejemplo: un escritor que se auto publica y vende su obra de pueblo en pueblo; padre e hijo que van camino a desconectar a la madre moribunda; hermanos que afrontan el último encuentro con el progenitor desaparecido; maridos infieles consumiéndose en sus laberintos; parejas que observan tv mientras sus relaciones se apagan; un chico que encuentra su voz leyéndole a una niña moribunda: mujeres desoladas y hartas de sus vidas. Caletas, siempre caletas, en donde el aire sabe a sal y las mañanas huelen a algas. Así es el sútil y lacónico universo del gran escritor Marcelo Lillo, de seguro una aparición feliz en las letras chilenas e Iberoamericanas. ~De vez en cuando como todo el mundo. Marcelo Lillo. Edición formato digital 2018. Penguin Random House.~

I had to write a review on this book for homework and I was almost done writing it when I went to google and searched up a word but when I went back to the app my review was gone which makes me really sad because the review took me a long time to do and I had to start all over again . Can you guys pls do a draft feature or something so we can go back to our review and not have to start all over again

I am an avid user of this app. I have an extensive list of all books Read, Want to Read, etc. The issue I have is that I can’t keep updated with the next book that comes out in a series. There are currently so many books that have been out in continuation of a series that I had been reading and unfortunately I have no clue. I would LOVE it if this app was able to monitor and alert you to when a new book in a series that you are reading is released. Also, when a Series comes to an end it’s automatically placed in a “Series ended” category. Would love this option! Developer, will you or are you currently working on a way to implement an alert system in the a Goodreads app to make my above wishes come true? This would put your app at 5 stars in “my book”! :)

What a great app, life changer! Love it!!!

Nancy Thayer has a great way with her storytelling and development of her characters. A sweet summer read.

The home page never loads

I love that it lets me write reviews of the books I read and read reviews of books I wanna read.

I LOVE this app!! I have found hundreds of books to read and I love how I can keep up with everything!!!

How is it that this is not a thing?! Why do I have to manually put in what I am reading and what my progress is?!

The app is terrible.

One of the Most useful apps I use. Helps me keep track of my books, track new releases, and look up books/authors I hear about on podcasts and from friends.

Goodreads, the readers version of Ravelry, is a great place to track what I’ve read and my impressions of a book. But the app can be a little challenging to navigate. I like that I’m able to access it on my Kindle PW, that makes it easy to track progress.

Love being able to keep track of books I have read and want to read. Also love that my friends and I can recommend books to one another through here

Such a convenient way to track what I read, what I’ve added to my home library and what I hope to add. I also love the annual reading challenge!

I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t like this app. There are some people who really don’t like reviews, or critics, or ratings or anything like that, so it might not be a 100% for them, but the way it’s built you don’t have to access any of those features and still get the most out of it. If nothing else the “Want to Read” feature is a great way for bookmarking books you want to read or think look interesting. And like IMDB, sometimes you find yourself just going down different rabbit holes of authors, books they’ve written, similar books, similar authors, bookmarking interesting books all along the way. Love it.

It’s the equivalent of Facebook for books. Document your journey. How did I live without this for so many years?!

This app is always really slow. And I know it's not my internet connection or wifi, the app takes forever to load things, all it shows me is a quote and then takes forever to load the rest of the stuff. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE this app, by far one of my most used and favorite apps of all time!

Great to track progress and see reviews of books from individuals on the platform. Wish easier to categorize - a bit clunky. For example why can I not add a book to my reading challenge and why not in two places. To the challenge and also to my reading folder. sometimes it is difficult to see where book saved or how categorized. Would also love to have open reading groups that could join. Could even be by geography.

I absolutely love Goodreads. No only is the best and most popular book review website but I also use it as a librarian all the time to look up the order of a series, to look up a title or author and I even encourage my staff to use it at my library for readers advisory services. I haven’t been using the app portion very long but it seems easy to navigate and easily organized.

I’ve noticed that my notifications don’t update. I’ll get the notification that there is a new contest from an author you follow, but when I click on my notification tab there’s nothing there.

This app just isn’t as good as it could be. I primarily only use the app on my phone. My biggest issue is the Update Progress button. It’s fine when all you’re doing is updating your progress. But more than once, I’ve made the error of writing a long review of a book, clicking on the “I’ve finished this book!” button, and rated the book. When you do this, that long review disappears. I now know that need to click the “I’ve finished this book!” button, rate the book, then go to the book’s page and review it there. I also don’t like that I might get a notification when people comment on my updates, but I won’t get a notification if someone replies to something I wrote on their update. Lastly, I dislike some of the limitations within the app, such as not being able to manipulate my bookshelves unless I use the desktop site. It’s nice for keeping track of what you’ve read and for looking up books to read, but as a way to interact socially about books, it is deeply flawed.

I use goodreads to track how many books I’m reading and to see what others are rating books. This app is really cool except I feel like the overall design and functionality of this app is just plain and doesn’t work very well. It’s hard to access different parts of the app and use it properly. It wouldn’t be a hard fix, still a good app though.

Once again it is a case where the book contains do much more than the movie. As good as the movie was the book is much better. More depth to the story.

It takes three attempts to add a book to my shelves without it throwing an error. There's another fatal error when I try to link my Facebook account. I guess I'll stick with the website.

When I checked my progress on my yearly challenge the other day, I was disappointed to see that I was only 10% in. Then I realized the challenge is only counting my Kindle books, not all the books I’ve added to my “read” list. I remember having this same issue a couple of years ago, so I’m not sure why I actually signed up to do another challenge. Is there something I'm missing? Four stars for loving the fact that I can digitally store all of the books I’ve read. At least most of them. If I could figure out the challenge, I would boost it to five.

Such a sad story. This book provided insight into the difficulties of released prisoners. What an inspirational story that Mario has shared. He didn’t give up even with many obstacles. His passion to help others is motivational!

This is such a useful app. I can see a record of what I read, what I am reading, etc. I love this app. The best part of this app is customer support. They are very quick to help and very, very helpful.

This app has really come a looong way since I started using it. Much more user friendly now! I use it just about daily. One request- can Goodreads PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us the ability to rate with half stars????

I read this as a arc and liked it so much I purchased it to read again in the future. I read all four of the Dawson brothers books and liked this one the best. The story was about young love and made you feel like you were right there, loved that the dog was what brought them together and what a name for a puppy, Duck.

I would give this app a definite 5-star rating if there was a way to track owned books from the app. To be able to sort your books, and say if you own a copy of a book, as you able to do from the desktop version. I think that all of the tools and functionality of the desktop version need to be made available on the mobile app. I use this app a few times every day, as I am an avid reader, so it would be helpful to have it in its full capacity.

Historical Highland Romance This historical timepiece is told from both the English and Scottish Highlanders viewpoints. The author writes is such a way that you can almost hear the Scottish brogue and her very descriptive scenes make it easy to picture life during that time period. The twists and turns of the storyline kept me interested throughout. War is declared because of the English Lord Flynn’s selfishness. Sarah escapes his cruelty during the confusion of battle and met Drew, a wounded Scot. Neither expected to find love because of their extreme anger and hatred towards each other’s heritage but were open enough to give it a chance. A nice surprise ending brings the brothers together and sets the stage for Declan’s story. To learn more about the brothers read the prequel ‘Blair’ for the backstory. I look forward to reading more about Declan and the McCall Clan.

Very complex story with many deep details to delve into. The story and characters remain in your mind when not reading. Makes you want to keep picking up the storyline where you left off. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Goodreads is a fantastic app. It keeps track of the “want to” and the “have read” and “I’ll get to if I find time” books. Brilliant. Perfect. Love. My exception is perhaps silly but man, it annoys me. When I open the app there is always a quote. Inevitably a quote that is brilliant or deep or perhaps witty. Unless you speed read you can barely soak it in AND if you can actually read it, it disappears before you can see who said it. Can’t we have at least 2 more seconds to enjoy/discover/absorb the fantastic quotes someone at goodreads had obviously taken the time to research and share? Let’s stop the haste and appreciate great minds. Please.

Misleading. This may prove to be a brilliant app down the road but at download and setup, it’s misleading. We’re led to believe that you can read within the app but in fact you can’t read a word within the app. Disappointing. It’s only after tapping on just about every jot, button and blemish hunted and discovered on the screen wall, that finally after about 45 minutes I arrived at Settings, Help, and FAQ. As soon as you tap on FAQ the first topic and bit of info that pops up explains, “You cannot read within this app”. Seriously? Thanks a lot!💥! Now, can you please GIVE ME BACK MY WASTED HOUR LOST in attempts to read my book selection, since being mislead by your “app marketing department” saying that this app is a great way to read books? Sell your app honestly please!

I love this App to help me keep track of books I want to read and see fellow reader reviews. I just miss the ability to update my reading status on FB.

I had to download GoodReads a good 5 years ago for a school project. I connected it to Facebook at the time, and then never used it again. Fast forward to a few years later, I’ve downloaded the app using a different email, and now there is no way for me to connect to FB, therefore I’m missing out on connecting with many friends. There is no way for me to access the old email I originally used, as it was a student email. This seems like it could be a fairly easy fix, so please do something about it!!

It does help lead me to new books ( new to me). I don’t do social media so I guess I’m missing half the point of this app.

From time to time the app goes “offline” and can only be brought back by deleting and reinstalling. “App support “ also opens the app and is broken when the bug is occurring.

Great app for me to discover new books to read, organize books I'm reading currently as well as give me reccomdations after having finished a book of a particular genre. I really like the percentage completed when you type in how many pages you have read. It really helped to get me to finish books quicker because I wanted to reach 100% (finished 2 books in one day bc of it). That all being said, would it be possible to have a night mode feature in the app? The white background with black text is classic and all, but having a darker background with white text is much easier on the eyes, not just in terms of looks but eye strain for those of us who do some light night perusing of new releases. Overall great app, wish I found it sooner.

I love Goodreads probably since 2007 or so. When I found out they had an app, I was happy.

The floral arrangement of Barbara Knott’s beautiful new collection of poetry, In Every Carnation The Body of God, contains musical and philosophical meditations full of glorious creations such as “Boxwood,” a poem both elegy for grandmother “Della” and petal in the flower of theological exploration, with luminous language and visionary moments such as this: In dreams I dislodge her body from roadside layers of stone Knott’s poetry is rich in imagery and always centered on the exploration promised in its title. Like the romantic poets and writers such as Lorca, Jung, and Eliot, bouqueted in the preface, Knott takes up the search for the divine in the material world. As we see, for example, in “Fox Eyes”: Each tree begins its own big life a hundred times as big as the life of a human inside a seed small as an acorn Intertwining myth, religion, nature and true human lives, Knott leaves no stone unturned as she seeks for “The God Secret.” So, as you read these wonderful poems, find yourself entranced, like the witness in the poem “Under Closed Eyes”: fill us with desire and through the beloved lead us to more abundant life!

This book is so good I read it again. The first time I read it, it left me so sad and wondering what we would find on Mars. The second time l read it, l enjoyed reading small details that I had previously overlooked.

This network is very nice, but there should be an easy way of how to put your list in order.

I love this app. I can’t imagine reading a book without it. But I’m highly disappointed that the Facebook option to keep tabs on what I’ve read and I’m currently reading is now gone.

I loved this App until it took away the ability to post my reads to Facebook. I truly hope this is a fix that can be made and soon. Why do I need GR to have access to my FB account if I can’t share my info on it?

I loved this app, but honestly I use it more as a personal log of my books and don’t really interact with any of my friends on goodreads. The automatic share to Facebook however, would get my Facebook friends talking about books and that’s where the social aspect of this app came in. I’m not sure I’ll be using this as much anymore without the share to Facebook option.

Too bad auto share to FB is no longer supported. It was convenient and helpful. Otherwise, GR still okay.

I used to love this app and I do still use it but whenever I finish a book it seems to not always be added to my Read list. And there are always books missing from my reading challenge list

FB sharing was my main reason for using the app.

Good reads

Goodreads is intended to combine book reading and social networking but it's better than that. I don't really use the social part of Goodreads. This app will help you find other good books and best of all help you keep track of your reading. You can mark your progress on a book and make lists of books you've read, currently reading and going to read. If anything it'll help you stay organized. I highly recommend it to avid readers or people who have a large book list.

The new update took out one of the only features worth having - a way to post your book updates to Facebook. Seems simple but apparently not. This app is great for many things but I don’t think I’ll use it now that I can’t share my progress with everyone.

I liked the book just OK. The ending is weird. If it had not been for my book club, I would have abandoned the book.

Don’t waste your time with this app. We are preparing to move from a house we’ve occupied for 10 years. As an avid reader you can imagine the amount of books I’ve collected. I created a folder and titled it “Books Packed to Move”. I had over 50 titles in that folder. I opened the app today to pack more books away and every single book I’ve scanned is GONE. With all the time I put in to scanning them, and have already packed the box, I’m devastated.

Updates: I wasn’t aware that my data was shared with Facebook, and I despise Facebook! I deleted my Instagram account and WhatsApp account, and now must I delete Goodreads? Please cut off your ties with Facebook already.... I like Goodreads in general, and I like how it improved over the years! That’s being said, it’s been too many “errors” lately with this app. But the worst part is, the questions or issues that I ask/report regarding this app lately is often brushed off and it dies concerns me that they stopped listening to its users and making improvements.

It took me a while to find out that iOS version of the app doesn’t have a feature to add private notes to the books. What’s is the purpose of the app then? Book tracking app... Waste of time.

This app ensures I don’t waste my time. Love the reviews😘

Developers - I’d love to see this app more integrated with my Amazon profile. I’d like to add “to read” books to an Amazon wishlist, and go straight to the book on Amazon from the Goodreads description.

What an amazing read!!! The ending was so powerful and beautiful to me!! I am so moved, I cried because of the messages layered and laced throughout the characters, the plot, the chapters and pages!!! Despite despair, hope, courage , faith , and love will always see us through and allow us to win!! !!! How beautifully written #tomiadeyemi !!! My heart is moved!!! I also absolutely loved loved loved discovering Roën and his playful mannerisms right around Chapter 77!!!!! Tomi Adeyemi had such a clever way to incorporate such a fluid mischievous fun character to balance out the heaviness of Zélie’s tribulations, that appeared in the latter chapter. I am so excited to see how the amazingly mischievously charismatic Roën will play in the books to come? I highly recommend this book!!!

Definitely helps me to keep track of all the stuff I want to read and have read. And all the books I want to buy

I received a group invite. I clicked on join and then it said successful (null) disabling to join.

Let me start off by saying, I read this book in one sitting. As a mother, I immediately felt a connection to Nina and to Tom. Both parents who wanted nothing but the best for their children. What happens though when one of your children is a spoilt, entitled, criminal. Add to that the fact, said child has a parent who will lie to get that chi,d out of trouble. I admire how Nina strives to be a “good” person and in the end is able to be the woman she strives to be. Spoiler alert: I’m glad she and Tom became best friends and were able to put their talents to good use by helping less fortunate children. It begs to question what kind of parent would we choose to be and how far would we go to protect our children.

...especially when compared to an app like Bookly. Amazon seems to squander its opportunity to wrap valuable data (contents of personal library, reading speeds, start date, finish date, etc.) in a fun, well designed, experience. I wish there was some way Bookly could connect to Amazon's APIs to allow access to Kindle/Audible data. Good Reads is stable and functional. Nothing more, though.

The mysteries are good. What makes it painful to read is that the heroine is such a doormat. She is treated awful by family and friends. In her thoughts she says she will stick up for herself then she knuckles under. If it wasn’t for the library I wouldn’t read these books. I wouldn’t pay for it.

There are always s***** issues with this app. It’s incredibly annoying.

A can find all books here it’s amazing but I don’t know how to read the books (takes one star)

I just wanted to say that I love this app. They continue to update and improve the app.through this app I have been able to organize all my books into different categories that are easy to navigate. I have also received number OSU recommendations that relate to what I want to relate. I have read reviews that convinced to me to read or book. I have also had debates with friends over the website about different books. The app allows ,e to set personal goals for myself. Finally they have allowed me to have books that I have reread count toward my reading challenge. Could not be more pleased

So I’m not going to give any details but the author went a little crazy with the surprises. I love a good plot twist and was engaged for about 3/4 of the book... but she should have stopped while she was ahead. The ending of this book is beyond unrealistic. This book had potential !

I LOVE this app, but it is not updated my read books with my reading challenge. I tried not to leave this review but there’s no other way to contact Goodreads as far as I can see.

Love being able to keep my book lists in one place, nice to be able to keep track of what I’ve read....however the last 3 months I am constantly getting an error message(it’s overloaded)when attempting to add date read to a book...also couldn’t access it at my library-got the same error message...it’s getting frustrating..

I love GoodReads and have been using it for about 4 years, however, with this new update when I update progress in a book using the page number that I’m on, I can’t see the progress in percentage. I know that there is an option for percentage but I have to put in a specific percentage and I don’t know the exact percentage I am on. GoodReads, can you please put the percentage progress from page numbers back on please? It was extremely helpful for me.

I love this website looking at all the books I read and other people's books and seeing the reviews I really enjoy it

Useful app.

Add Goodreads Giveaway functionality to the app please! So annoying to access via email & go through browser pages.

I would like it more if it was able to sync with the Libby app so I can share what in reading easier, and look at my reading stats.

It's not updating my progress across Kindle & Audible.

This is my go-to app for everything books! I love the personal shelves and how I can keep track of the books I've already read, this in currently reading, and those I want to read. Also, the user base is huge, so I feel like I get a solid sense of the quality of the book based on the reviews within the app. I recommend this app to all readers and to those who want to read more. One feature that I would like to see added is the ability to leave personal, private comments on the books in my to-read list, so I could record for future reference things like why I want to read that book, who recommended it to me, etc.

It is a very handy app (website) to manage books and to search for new writers/literature. Like it a lot.

If you’re the type who reads reviews before you even consider reading a book, Goodreads is the perfect place for you! It’s my favorite place to go to when I am looking for a good book to snuggle up with. The best place for reviews on any book and on any niche. Awesome recommendations and the community is always ready to help you find that perfect read. I absolutely love this app and pretty much live on Goodreads always eager to find that next great paranormal romance series! I am a Huge BDB fan! ❤️📖

This app is amazing I just wish they had more options for different kinds of books

I like Goodreads but I use the website to avoid the ads and to get more functionality. I give the app another chance every now and then, but then have to uninstall it so Safari doesn’t open it instead of the mobile website.

It’s fun to keep up with the new book s out there

On the mobile app, make it so I can select multiple messages and disposition them in a batch. Very clunky to have to open each one or delete each one individually.

Love this app; stay in touch with the next best thing to read.

As a book lover this app comes in handy.

Its a great little app for review books your are interested in but the recommend section needs work. It will show a limited number of books and the same ones dominate my list even though I don’t want to read them. I wish it would offer more recommendations and allow me to toggle where a book should stay on the list or not.

Goodreads is an AMAZING tool and I’d HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. The app works great, but it’s missing the listopia part and it isn’t easy to navigate or see others bookshelves. This is how I tend to get most of my new book recommendations, which is really one of my main motivators for using goodreads. However other than the limited access, the app is great and always runs smoothly for me.

I have read some of this author’s stories and I am a huge fan. Never thought to read about MMA fighting or to even watch but the story pulls you in and makes you want to keep reading, do a little research on the sport and to see what happens when certain groups blow the whistle. In any case this story keeps you guessing and even though some of it may be a little predictable it has me curious that I want to keep reading about the characters and their outcome. Does he get the girl in the end? Does the girl walk away because she cannot handle what his profession is? Can he win a professional fight? See so many questions but you have to read the entire series to get the answers.

Elizabeth Strout creates characters with full personalities and follows their intertwined lives as they navigate ups and downs in Crosby, Maine. She is a masterful story teller; I loved this book!

This book is so good I read it again. The first time I read it, it left me so sad and wondering what we would find on Mars. The second time l read it, l enjoyed reading small details that I had previously overlooked.

I didn’t realize that Goodreads would let me know when a book on my “want to read” list went on sale until I got an email that one of my books was only $2.99 on Amazon Kindle. This is such an amazing benefit and sooo helpful!!

Is a fine novel of a woman who has suffered tremendously as a child, but has suppressed these events and isolated herself in her work, routines and rituals as well as vodka, all of which help her ward off her feelings. Then finds the love of her life, a musician she aims to marry in spite of having no real connection to him or even others; she sets off to improve herself skin-deep thinking this will be enough. Then, she and a co-worker end up saving the life of an older gentleman who draws her into his life and family. These changes slowly open her up to interacting with others and precipitate changes which lead her to a crisis. Therapy and the people who have stepped into her life help her uncover the events of her childhood and her repressed feelings so that she can begin to heal. At the beginning of the novel, her behavior can be seen as off-putting but by the end you can see that she will make real progress in her life and emotional well-being. Nicely done.

I’ve been using Goodreads consistently for about two and a half years. Features I love: ability to keep a to-read list; ability to see friends’ feeds of books read and rated; shelves to differentiate types of books. Features that need improvement: ease of adding and deleting books; antiquated design/appearance; stagnant recommendations that do not correspond well with books previously read and rated. Overall, I’m happy to have a platform like this, but it needs updates.

It allows you to view the ratings and what the book is about. They have every book!!!!!!

It appears that there isn’t a way to put books in alphabetical order or date. Should also be able to do a sort by author.

Give me time to read them on my way in

I like the idea of good reads. I like to see what my friends are reading and rate the books I have read. However finding authors I want to follow is quite difficult and I am a tech savvy person. Also, my wish list for ebooks from amazon doesn’t sync with my want to read books from goodreads which makes it very disorganized.

I really enjoyed reading “Beartown”. This sequel is outstanding. I feel like I know the characters and the town through the author’s writing. Fredrick Backman’s style of writing is very interesting and builds suspense! I loved “A Man Called Ove” too, I would read anything this man writes!

Clive James’s essays provided an insightful and sometimes humorous look into how a poet reads poetry. He provides some excellent examples of attention to language and image. The essays also introduced me to some new (to me) poets from Britain and Australia. My only criticism is that I wished he had discussed more female poets—mostly because I am always on the prowl for new material to use in class. This lack he also acknowledges as such in the introduction.

How do you read a book when I push want to read or read a book only tells what the book is about how do I read the whole book what do I have to do

A good read.

Good app. Was having some serious issues with my feed not loading but after uninstalling and reinstalling the app it began working much better.

I love this site. Great information about authors and books. And some great giveaways!

I love this app but am having a hard time finding contacts and adding them, I’ve had to text them the link instead

I don’t even know how to read a book on this

Fuera perfecta si tuviera la opción de español! Me encanta usar la aplicación para llevar un récord de mis lecturas, además de participar en el reto anual y tener excelentes recomendaciones tanto de la App como de mis amigos lectores.

I’m a fan of Powers Characters from the Keeley universe. All the greater Deamons, Avery the dragon Queen, and especially Eve. She powerful, determined, and as with his other characters flawed while being pragmatic enough to deal with her past and forge her own future. I would love to see more books with these characters.

I’d like to be able to make private comments / reviews of books I read

They make this app more complicated and confusing that it needs to be. You want to add your own shelf? Good luck, it either won’t add or won’t be recognized when trying to add a book to it. Why won’t more than two shelves show up on my shelf page? Why do I have to click into a second menu just to access them? Why when I try to add a book it lists shelves that don’t even exist. It’s terrible.

Have been using the app for several years now and really like that I can use it as a handy way to remind myself what I want to look for at my library, bookstore, or online library. Only one suggestion/disappointment. It would be great if I could “teach” the app to recommend better for me. There are some books it simply insists I will like, but I’m certain I won’t. If I could tell it “no way!” And have the book removed from the list, I might get a recommendation I truly would like to read.

Great for keeping an inventory of your library!

I like the idea of goodreads but it won’t let me update my notification settings and it emails me multiple times a day.

I finished the book hoping it would get better. Honestly thought it was going to be more of a historical novel, instead it was more of a romance one.

I absolutely love goodreads! If u love to read and are always in a book u need this app. You can track what ur reading, set reading goals and it even tells u where u can get a book that you want to read. You can make want to read lists and also see others opinions about the books. It’s great. The best thing about goodreads is that the refer books to u based on your reviews of books that you have read. Awesome app!

The app doesn't all members to create new posts. Have to use the Safari. Makes the app pointless for me.

The Glass Room was a perfect plot for exploring how writer’s view themselves. To me, since I’m also writing a m***** mystery this was the perfect accompaniment to seeing a skilled writer develop character, keep a plot moving and, and surprise me with the “who done it”ending.

This was a good thriller and kept me interested but the plot was just a bit far fetched for me.

I can’t even read the books! It’s gust bad and I can’t do any thing on it

Taking a hard time chasing your dreamy-awesome-to -be is not as hard as everyone think . Get you GOODREADS and the job is nicely done . The only thing preventing me from that last star is the way of organizing the items .BUT I LIKED IT AND WILL DEFINITELY USE IT AS MAIN SOURCE

I love this app. Very thankful for it. However, I’ve noticed a lot of crashes lately when I’m reading reviews. The review will just open, then the screen goes black and the app crashes. Not sure what’s happening...

The book tells little about the actual making of the movie. It’s more about the drug/alcohol induced privileged, hippies of Harvard in their ability to write satirical comments of current events. Without funding from rich family and associates and a counter culture of s***** mindless faux 1960s intellectualism, these people were failures. Enjoy the movie for the crazy antics of great comic actors and not for the self loathing directors and producers.

Love having the list of books I’ve read and recommendations from friends all in one tidy place. The only thing I don’t like is the search engine - you really have to have the exact book title to get a hit. I usually google the book and then bring it into the app. One other thing is that sorting your own books is hit or miss - it does not put them in order by date correctly. Sometimes a book I just added is nowhere to be found unless I enter its exact title. So I guess that is two complaints.

These pioneers are becoming couples with people who you would not expect them to be compatible. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review and I am thoroughly enjoying this series so far.

This is really a great app. I really enjoying reading the reviews and recommendations about books on this app. This makes it easier to see if I’d like the book or not, based on this huge community of bookworms giving their two cents like me.

add easily accessible quotes & you'd get 5 stars

The latest update has rendered the app useless for me. It keeps taking me back to the login page after logging in. Over. And. Over. Grrrrrrrrr.

This app is one of my favorites. It is the best resource for me to find series books and the recommended reading order. As odd as it may sound, not all authors provide such things. Especially when they have a few series that cross over with one another. Goodreads is also a great place to go if you want to try a series but you’re not sure... you start here. I refer to my Goodreads app all the time. I keep it updated with books I’m reading, books I’ve read with reviews if I want, and books I’m looking forward to reading. It’s a must have for me. I definitely recommend to everyone and anyone who loves to read.

Too many books that can only be read by audio

I listened to all but two of the series on YouTube and read the other two. I would recommend this series to everyone. So touching and personal. Great character development really made you feel like you knew each one and even like your part of their family. Now on to listening/reading the Danger boys stories.

When I evangelize GoodReads to friends and family I liken it to a social network for book readers. I am addicted to GoodReads and am quick to update my status of a book read to my account. The value it brings me is not just being able to create all my virtual book shelves and follow the books my friends read, but to also use it as a way to “tag” the books I want to read later. I’m so glad to have this platform just for those who read and it’s my hopes that Amazon doesn’t abandon it in lieu of larger profit making projects if only to have a place that readers from around the world can congregate virtually away from the noise of other social networks.

I LOVE this app, but could you please add last names for friends? I am so tired of getting requests that say “Sean” has requested to be your friend. Sean who? I know at least four Seans. And even by clicking through to the profile I can’t find anywhere that includes a full name. Sometimes if they have included a profile picture you can tell, but usually even that’s not helpful. Please at least add it into the person’s profile!!!

The app seems not to have all the options present on the web site.

I have all of the books I’ve read and want to read in one place! I can access my list when a friend gives me a recommendation at a restaurant, a student gives me one at school, or when I read/ hear about a book at home. Great app and I encourage my 7th graders to use it (w parent permission). Just wish there was a place under “want to read” where I could include who/where gave me the recommendation.

Everything about Goodreads is perfect EXCEPT you can’t do half stars!! Dear Goodreads, PLEASE add the ability to rate a book using half stars.

I love the site. My only complaint is that I do not seem to know how to control the feed. I would like to be able to focus on what my friends are reading and reviewing and good reads does not go all the way back.

I like Goodreads in general, and I like how it improved over the years! That’s being said, it’s been too many “errors” lately with this app. But the worst part is, the questions or issues that I ask/report regarding this app lately is often brushed off and it dies concerns me that they stopped listening to its users and making improvements.

So I knew about GoodReads for a long time but hadn’t given it much thought. My sister had suggested that I make an account, which is why I did it. I read a lot of historical nonfiction, so it’s great to get suggestions from this app for a genre I love so much.

عندما تسمع عبارة ابحث عن معنى آخر غير الذي تبادر إلى ذهنك حتى تتعلم فن وضع الاحتمالات

I like the app a lot. I like the fact that I can see what my friends are reading and get a perspective on a book that they loved. It also helps me find something that is worth reading.. but my problem is that I’m only limited to the friends that has been registered on Good Reads. Granted for the fact that I can invite friends but I believe this app would be better if we could follow anyone regardless of favorite author, friends and family. There are some celebrities, musicians, and also Sober bloggers that I admire and would love to see what they are reading. I think this app can be something popular if they opened it up to more celebrities or inspirational speakers. I love my friends but I want to know what Laura Mckowen, Talib Kweli, Jimmy Fallon, and more are reading. I want to see what they find as good reads for them. I also think this would expose people to more authors and help them gain more revenue for their books. So that way authors can write more books!

Plus - creating own bookshelves Plus - creating and joining book groups Plus - creating email signatures displaying a book from a designated shelf ("Currently Reading") Minus - removed link to LinkedIn to display partial bookshelf. Liked seeing what other professionals are reading. Would like this to be added back Minus - not all titles have covers, and some titles not found - not sure what to do about this Wish List: Add books to an actual wish list (sort of a gift registry) Wish List: analytics of titles, authors, genres shelved

I use this several times a day. It helps in so many ways: keeping track of what I’ve read, helping me choose wisely my next novel, discovering authors new to me, etc.

This app is so wonderful! I love it so much because it helps me stay organized. I’m always buying new books and I can never remember which I still need to read. This app helps me keep track of all of that and more! My only complaint is, there is a glitch when it comes to sending friend requests and following people. It seems that once you follow someone, you can’t unfollow them. Similarly, one you friend request someone, you can’t take back the request. The two actions come hand-in-hand so once you send a friend request, you are automatically following that person. I wish there were a way to unfollow and unsend friend requests. Regardless, this is an amazing app that I will continue to use. Just this one minor detail that would make all the difference. Thank you!

i don’t know how to start reading a book. i just now downloaded the app and i have no clue as to how i’ll be reading them.

I love to read and the idea of sharing them with my friends, but I do not think that this app works as effectively as it could. I should be able to list a book I am reading, and then transfer it to a book I have read. That is the idea, but the actual process does not work that well. I also like being able to show my reading progress, but this new classifying books into their genre is not always an easy task. Maybe it would be best for me to clear everything I have done and start again, at square one.

It needs to be user-friendly

Very good! Different & interesting Two leading characters, both females. Very good friends, entirely fascinating! A must read !! I really enjoyed a slightly different story than just a normal love story !

I love this app; it’s a great way to keep track of what I’ve read and find new books to read I wouldn’t have found otherwise. However, there’s a bug that won’t let me update the date I finished books, which then affects my 2018 reading challenge because it says I haven’t read as many books as I actually did read. I’ve tried editing the dates read on both my phone and computer multiple times and in multiple ways, but it doesn’t work. Even when it does save, the date somehow gets deleted again. Edited: I received multiple developer responses apologizing for the problem. They were quick to fix the bug and were very courteous in handling the matter.

When I open goodreads nothing works

9 Times out of ten my feed doesn’t load or takes a very long while to load. I can access my shelves but I want to see what my friends and authors that I follow have posted. Kinda the point, right? It wasn’t always this way. More so in the last few months. Please make an update to resolve this. Might as well use my computer (which is slow as all get out) and I would see my feed easier than this.

Fix the glitch that affects our 2018 Read Challenge. I select “read” and they never show up on my Reading challenge list! Fix and a 5-star rating is headed your way!

All it does is show me ads, and recommend books (the list never changes even after rating hundreds of titles) that are 40+ years old. Don’t bother.

Great to track the books I’ve read...can alway look back for a recommendation!

Solid app.

I love this app, but my reading challenge is not updating when I update my “books read” list. Bummer.

I wish I could have to more book lists and new books. Also I would love the ability to click not interested in the recommendations area. Thanks! Demetria

Love this app except for a few things. The only thing i can't access is the quotes I've saved from every book which was one of my favorite things about the site. Also, my account always says I have several notifications & then when I click it nothing is there. This feature seems to be permanently broken ever since I've downloaded the app several years ago.

I couldn’t keep up with the books I’ve read without this app!

Like having a record of books. The only thing that needs to be improved is how you add books. It is too difficult.

This app is a must have. I can keep track of all the books I read and want to read in future. I’m also doing a list for my 10 year old daughter daughter because she reads a lot too.

This is a great app. I love searching for books and looking at comments from friends.

It tracks what you are reading and the percentage of the way through your book

However it would be nice to be able to do more with in groups from the app.

Listopia and book discussions are hard to view in app

An outstanding venue to connect with authors, writers and readers of all genres from all over the world.

Wonderful way to organize the books that I have read that also to hear about the books that my friends are enjoying to broaden my horizons

Second time app moved dozens of books from READ to WANT TO READ. Waste of my time and extremely frustrated.

L💗ve g👀dreads, it keeps me from buying duplicates! And I can read reviews, some reviews tell the whole story, which ruins the b👀k for the rest of us! But I do highly recommend G👀dreads...

Just a fun recap of a favorite, classic movie. Very, very campy!

I liked the storyline. The history behind it was fascinating about the plight of the Scottish coal miners back in the 1700’s Yet, the story was predictable and a bit shallow, especially for Ken Follette.

I LOVE THIS APP!!!

This app has some of the best real people reviews on books. It helps me to get a clear idea on what the book is about and how the general population has responded to it. My only concern, is that I don’t get to explore much new content. I browse and I either get repeated books, or as of lately it doesn’t allow me to load more pages thru mobile. I would love to get recommended books that are different from what I am used to reading so that when Im exploring I don’t get similar plots to books I’ve already read, as well as not seeing repeated books. Other than that, Goodreads is amazing!

Really good and easy to use.

Lovely app but I wish I full get to read the books on the app

Why cant i delete books from lists and shelves whit ease!!!!

... from the start

Nice app to learn find options of books to read, but tracking your reading (and participating in the Reading Challenges) is tedious and time consuming. Deleted the app.

It’s ok I wish you could read the books so you don’t have to go buy the book somewhere else

Nice app for people who love to read and enjoy what others have to say about books!

I read this book in response to an email I received from my son’s high school. Our community has recently become aware of a suicide crisis at our high school and is struggling and scrambling to understand it and address it. I don’t remember what the email said, but it was alerting parents to the subject matter of this book due to our current crisis. (Maybe a movie was coming out about it?) Anyway, I took on the reading under the guise of parental responsibility. But mostly I wanted to arm myself with facts. Just in case those parents who wish to protect their children by avoiding difficult topics began a crusade about or against this book. I liked it. It goes in a vein of other titles I’ve read that deal with wickedly difficult subjects like, for example, Unwind by Neal Shusterman. I appreciate his storytelling format more after reading the author’s interview and the end. I plan on asking my son to read it. Because I believe knowledge is power. And this book demonstrates beautifully, yet simply, how the things we do and say impact others. It also demonstrates, just as well, the importance of standing up for yourself and asking for help when you need it. True critique? I was bothered by the quick back and forth of Hannah’s story interjected with Clay’s real-time responses. I understand the value in telling the story this way, but it really disrupted the flow. I’m still really glad I read it.

♥️ love this app

One of the best site to get information & support to improve your writing skill.

I’ve been using Goodreads for several years and I always find so many new books I want to read.

Goodreads has introduced me to many new authors and their books! I feel as if my mind has been let loose in its own candy store!!! Thank you!

Goodreads a great place to store the titles of all the books you’ve read and want to read. I also like seeing what titles my friends have read, are reading, or want to read. I’m also hoping to get a book via the giveaways.

Ok it is June and I added a new book that I just finished and list for reading challenge is gone!! I’m hoping this is just a glitch and it will come back. Ugh!

This app has been so helpful. It allows me to keep track of what I’ve already read and, even better, keep track of the books I want to read. I’ve always recommended it to my friends and fellow librarians. But this year, it just seems to glitch all the time. After I’ve read a book, I faithfully record it with the date read. But then it doesn’t show up anywhere- not on my read books, nor on my reading challenge. If I do a search for it, it comes up in my books as having been read. Customer service is always so helpful, and the issue is fixed - until a few books later when it happens again. All of this is to say - I love the app. I’m just tired of the problems with it.

I absolutely love this app but I just finished a book and reviewed it but it won’t show up on my challenge as done or anything. Please fix.

I love this app! I get to see all kinds of books that I would be interested in. It’s nice to see the reviews that other people have written also!

The app has been super glitchy over the past two weeks. I can’t get my reading challenge to load consistently. Last night it finally did, but won’t this morning. I just want to know how many books I’ve read this year! 😩

I finished two poetry books in the past two days and when I tried to move them from my “currently reading” to “read” category, they aren’t showing up as being read and it’s not updating my reading challenge. Is there a way to fix this?

This app is always really slow. And I know it's not my internet connection or wifi, the app takes forever to load things, all it shows me is a quote and then takes forever to load the rest of the stuff. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE this app, by far one of my most used and favorite apps of all time!

I’ve read 37 books so far in 2018 and I just logged into the app and it shows my total is back down to 0 for 2018... I am also getting ‘loading errors’ on a lot of other areas of the app. I checked and I have the most up-to-date version of the app... Help. :(

I don’t know if anyone else is having this problem but all the books that I have read this year are no longer showing and Reading challenge is now showing 0%. I was up to about 70 books read so far this year too 😕.

All was fine and dandy til today when it wiped out all my books I’ve read so far this year.

All the books I’ve read this year have been deleted off my reading challenge tally. I marked one read today and it didn’t count on my challenge count. Very disappointed and discouraged.

I love Goodreads, though, I’m giving it a one star rating at the moment. I’m giving this rating so maybe someone will do something to better this app.The mobile app isn’t the greatest, and I was fine with that. It isn’t adapting and becoming more user-friendly but that’s okay. My main issue is that ALL OF MY BOOKS ARE GONE!! Okay not literally but I have read 55 books this year, so I went on to Goodreads so I could update my reading challenge and SUDDENLY I haVE rEad 0 bOokS anD I’m 41 beHinD?!?! Fix this please because I really don’t want to have to come back and add every book I’ve read since the beginning of the year to my reading challenge. Thanks

Love this app! Although there seems to be a bug in the reading challenge list. I have a goal of 52 books to read for 2018; have completed 43 or 44,and it is showing that I have not read any. Seems silly but I gotta see my progress!

I love this app; it’s a great way to keep track of what I’ve read and find new books to read I wouldn’t have found otherwise. However, there’s a bug that won’t let me update the date I finished books, which then affects my 2018 reading challenge because it says I haven’t read as many books as I actually did read. I’ve tried editing the dates read on both my phone and computer multiple times and in multiple ways, but it doesn’t work. Even when it does save, the date somehow gets deleted again.

I made a goal to read more so I reinstalled this app and now it has ads all over the screen when it never used to. I searched the app itself and couldn’t find a way to shut them off—I’d even be willing to pay a small one time fee to do so. But as it stands, I don’t see myself fighting through the ads to get to this app’s content.

The app is extremely slow making it a struggle to access to the great content it provides. The main tab takes very long to load or reload.

This is probably a cool and enjoyable way to learn of books not always advertised but the demand to have to review a number of books in order to have more access to books got a bit old for me. I guess if you like to write extensive reviews all the time you may find this app interesting.

Besides the constant harassment to rate the application, I have found good reads to be a useful tool to not only find more works from authors that I am familiar with, but to branch out into works and genres that would have eluded me completely.

Goodreads is a great app for tracking your reading and books. It allows you to mark books that you are currently reading, have already read, and want to read in the future. You are also able to create custom "shelves" to categorize books in other ways. The Goodreads website has many functions and the app focuses on the book shelves and reviews more than anything else. I do wish the app would allow for the full functionality of the GROUPS feature. It does offer some aspects of the Groups function but, as someone that uses that feature, I have to go to the website in order to get the full use of it. Still, the app does what it is supposed to do and it does it well. One very handy feature is the ability to add books by scanning the bar code. Again, this would be nice to use with the Groups feature. Overall, great app.

This is one of my favorite apps of all time! I love having my tbr (to be read) right on my phone so I don’t forget anything when I go to the library. The scanning feature is awesome at the bookstore so I don’t have to buy books or waste space on my phone taking pictures. I also love how the app tells you the number the book is in the series, and if you tap the number the series comes up in a list so you can see all the books, it is very helpful when you see only book 2 on the shelve and you want to know where to start. The only thing is in the recent update when you tap on a book and scroll down you have other books in the series and other books by the author, but the books like this category is gone. That was how I did a majority of my browsing for books and I miss it.

How do I read the book have tried several to read the I want but don’t know how can you help me figure it out

Four years ago I was looking for a library manager to keep track of my books. Instead I ended up with Goodreads and originally I didn’t use it as intended as a social platform. I find it very useful for keeping track of books I’ve read and have a special shelf for other books that I want to avoid buying duplicates of. A To Buy shelf keeps a list of books I want to buy. The problem is that my to buy list is only available on line. The height of frustration is to finally be at Powell’s and not have a good internet connection to access my list! I’d like a way to access my list off line or print it.

Every time I open the app, I have to close and reload the app 3-4 times before it finally loads the “home” tab. Everything else will load but the Home. I don’t follow that many people’s reviews so it can’t possibly be overwhelmed by the status and book updates...

Is there such a thing? If so, the Goodreads app is an instant inductee on the first ballot. I use it personally and, now as a thriller writer, professionally. Strongly, unequivocally recommended.

كتاب رائع انصح الفنانين به

I thought that the book started out a little slow. If you can get past the first few chapters then it improves a lot. The love scenes were great! I think the climatic part of the book could have lasted longer, with more umph. Over all the story line was good and the s** scenes great and the ending happy! Good read! Honest review from an ARC reader.

Good source for finding a good book.

I feel like when I reread a book it should show up again in my book shelf. Maybe not actually showing up twice, but it could have an icon or something that shows it has been read more than once. It should also add another book to the number count of books read when you reread a book.

Always hated Amazon’s decision to buy Goodreads and switch over many features to it. And I’ve never understood why so many love it. But I think part of my problem is this terrible app, which doesn’t allow you to easily access many Goodreads features. Decided to finally delete it and just use the website. Feeling happier about it already.

Kevin Kwan has followed up on Crazy Rich Asians with another great book. A fun story which is both entertaining and light. I’m looking forward to his next book.

I like the concept of tracking the books you read or about to read with a option to explore more. But it needs massive update. It feels like an ancient app and feels like lot of things is not in right place making app little complicated. Would love to see all books together of mine. Like a gallery and better browsing of other books in the feed section

Overall the app is decent. The most frustrating thing for me is opening the app and seeing that I have a notification. I open the notifications tab, and see "no new notifications". I can only see notifications regarding giveaways if I go to the actual website, which defeats the purpose of having an app. Updated review: It’s impossible to find how to recommend a book to someone. The only recommendations area I can find on the new app wants you to choose a genre with pre-defined books.

I like it a lot!

At this point, I’m still trying to figure out how to add dates to the books I’m reading or have read. Some tasks are easier to do on the website.

Great way to find books to read.

I absolutely love this app. It’s great to connect with the other people in this world who actually read. It’s also great to look through people’s opinions on other books and to review what ones you want to read before you go to a bookstore, or kindle if you’d prefer that.

I have read so many of the books that my friends have read based upon their reviews or what I know about them. I love that I can choose my next great read from people I know and relate to in literary taste!

You know I think this is the only social media outlet that I like. Reason being books and other people who like books and you can recommend books and make good friends over good book! Get it? Still I love this cause of my love for books. And making friends.

You have enough reviews.

Could be so much better. Why are there not more and better search features in this app by now? Would like to see more plot search options, bookshelves and keyword search options. Why not harness the work the users have put in to assist with this? As Amazon owns Goodreads and seems to be very unfortunately dismantling search options in "forums" used by so many to help find books, it would make sense that they resurrect them in some fashion here. Please add listopia feature to app 5/31/18: Request to Goodreads please add the Listopia lists - ones have created, liked, voted for, friends voted for. This one one of several features not found in app but found in web version, making it my preferred way of using the service.

AMAZING APP! but there should be an update to include all of the listopia lists, not just the featured ones. It’s my favorite parts about goodreads as it allows other people to recommend you book lists and creates more specific genres, like “books with movie adaptations”. I know you can go online but it would be nice to see listopia on the app!! Thanks!!

It’s been crashing and it deleted all the books I read toward my reading goal for the year. It’s showing I haven’t read any toward my reading goal.

Attempted to leave a comment on a post, error message. Refreshed the screen, error message saying site may be over capacity. Uninstalled and reinstalled app, unable to log in, with same error message about over capacity displaying. Tried the desktop website, same error.

I signed in, gave my email, etc. but when I deleted it, I STILL GET THE MESSAGES!!!! And it gets annoying after a while. Can you like some how take me off you email list, cause I deleted it and now I don’t care about what’s happening. Thanks

This book was amazing, Saving Truth is filled with truth delivered in such a loving way. We certainly can choose to deny truth but that doesn’t change it from being the truth. Thank you Abdu Murray for saying what needs to be said but doing so with the love given to us through Jesus. Susan Carvalho

I love that I can easily add my books and update reading progress on my phone, but I really wish that the reading challenge on the phone said whether you were on track or not like it does on the desktop version. I tried to go to the website on my phone and it just keeps looping me back to the app, so there’s no way to know if I’m ahead or behind without doing the math on my own, which I usually don’t have time to do when I go to check.

How does this work?

A sweet and poignant book - also, proceeds from all sales go to good cause

I started using goodreads about a year ago, but I stopped for some reason. Then, I wanted to reread a book that I can’t remember the title of. The app makes it easy to log books I’ve read so that it won’t happen again. And they have a discussion group so I’m trying to find the book I’m looking for.

My favorite app! I was tracking my books in a Wits document in college. This app is genius! One suggestion, would it be possible to give books 1/2 star ratings?

I've been using GR for year's now and it's great, but it just logged me out and won't let me log back in. Why?

The groups is very difficult to work with on the app, I often have to go to the website. It’s not seamless for a bookclub, and though I use it took look at books, I use Facebook for the book club itself, because it’s too hard to communicate.

I love the app but I can’t figure out where the stats are (how many pages I’ve read, etc). I can find them on the website so I hope they add it to the app. Other than that I think it is great!

I love this app but there are several things that could make it even better. I wish the “explore” option hadn’t been removed in this latest update. I also wish you could search by subject or keyword, not just the title or subject. I think it would be cool if there was a way to easily share the release date of a book with your personal calendar on your phone. And just to be picky, it would make things easier if the publication date was listed with the title on your tbr list, instead of just listing the year and having to open the title to get the actual date. Other than that I love it.

I love how I can keep tracking of mi books

Great app to search book ratings but not useful nor user friendly if you actually want to manage your books. You can't move books between shelves and all books must be kept under the "Read" shelf. No way to separate books for you and books for your kids.

My own portable personal library

It’s An amazing app and I would recommend it to everyone. I just wish it was as a bit more modernized, look wise

I like the idea of being able to read a lot of books, but I can’t figure out how to read the book! It really frustrating! Please send a response on how to read the books!

I can't use goodreads app yet because I can't sign in with my google ID as web edition. And don't know exactly why!? Is this very hard to prepare sign in with googe ID and twitter from first till now!!?

This is a great app and platform, and I really enjoy using it. But come on, why does it still have ads?! As an Amazon company, does Goodreads really need to have ads, especially considering that the platform itself serves to help Amazon book sales? There isn't even an option to get rid of the ads, even though I'd happily pay $0.99 to remove them. They just make the app ugly.

I found this book to be very repetitive. He seems to say the same things over and over. I’ve cruised a lot and I do find what he says to be true but I was bored reading this book. He writes well however

Goodreads gets me fired up to read, and knowledgeable about what I want to read. It is nice to eliminate books I will not enjoy before I haul them home, and to thoroughly enjoy everything I read. It is very rare I review even a three star - between Goodreads and Netgalley I know what to ask for.

At this point, I’m still trying to figure out how to add dates to the books I’m reading or have read. Some tasks are easier to do on the website. Thank you for your response; it was helpful. Slowly, I’m getting the hang of this app.

Fun to peruse recommendations and read reviews. Great in tandem with Audible.

Best book review app out there

Love using this app, great functionally on-top of an archaic clunky design. Take some time for a design refresh instead of rolling out new features pretty please!!

I have followed this app since it began. It has enhanced my knowledge of reading and finding what I need to read for a long time. Everyone that wants to become a better human could if they keep up with Goodreads.

Great idea, could be easier to navigate, definite learning curve.

I love this app/ site- or I should say I used to love it. Now when I click on an email notification to enter a book giveaway I have to sign in each and every time even if I have the ‘keep me signed in’ box checked, even if I sign in and then click another email immediately following the first one. I can’t enter giveaways through the app either and it’s annoying that this change has happened as before I could click the email for a giveaway and the app/ site would automatically take me to the giveaway signed in- why did this function regress? I do like that I can keep track of my books/ friends’ books/ get Recs on books I may want to read.

I love this but often have the hardest time finding titles. For example, some books I can’t find if I search by author but they do if I search by title. Or they come up only when I search for half of the title instead of the whole thing.

I love this app but I can’t get rid of the advertisements...why? I would happily pay for this option. One small issue is arranging books in the order I want to read them, I can’t seem to sort bookshelves or lists of books in this particular way. Other than that I love this app.

All my books listed in one place. Books I’ve read, want to read and am reading now. If I am interested in an author I go to goodreads first to see real reviews, by real people who really read the Books! Love my Goodreads!

I love this app. Writing reviews and finding similar books has never been easier. About the only functionality I miss from the web version is the html coding.

This is my go to app for bookmarking (haha) books I want to read and check out what my friends and other people are reading. The shelves, the ability to read and create reviews, browsing for books, and creating a book challenge for the year are really nice, and it feels great to move a book from in progress to read. That said, the social aspect of the app doesn’t seem to be fully in touch with the other areas. I wish there were a way customize the feed you see. The friend list doesn’t seem to really refresh outside of when you first sync the app to your fb account, you can’t cancel friend requests, can’t unfollow people, and you still get a feed for people who are no longer exist on your friend list. The basic features work, and I guess there’s no other app like GoodReads yet, but the social features could be developed and polished more to give a more streamlined app. Apart from all wishful thinking, I am still thankful for this :)

Leaving reviews is annoying LOL but as a serial reader(literally), this app comes in handy. My main thing I love about it is that it allows me to see how many books I’ve read, WHAT books I’ve read, and to set an annual reading challenge. Also very great for interacting with other bookies & getting book recommendations!

I enjoy using this app, but would really appreciate the ability to be able to rate a book using half stars. In other words, today I can rate a book 1 - 5, but I might want to rate a particular book 4.5. Because I select my books carefully, I’ve discovered that I end up usually rating nearly all my books 4. The Ability to rate 4.5 would allow me to rate more effectively.

I love this app it is always fun to see and discuss and discover other reviews! I only have 8 Friends on here but I enjoy seeing their interests!

I’m a refugee from FictFact.com, a lovely little site that just tracked series books and presented them in order. It had a simple “all on one page” view for each series. I can find no similar view on GoodReads. Right now, if I search on “Christopher Bush”, looking for his old “Ludovic Travers” series of 30 plus books, I get something like 102 hits, presented in random order, with non-English versions mixed in. Trying to figure out what book is next in the series takes several rounds of Amazon and internet searching. Sorting by publication date is useless, since these books were originally published in 1930-1950 and have now been republished, in a sometimes random order. GoodReads needs to help readers like by including the number in the series as part of the book title and needs to have a way to filter out the non-relevant hits from a series list.

If you are any kind of a reader you need this app - or at least an account with Goodreads. An incredible service that not only helps track what you have read, but more importantly for me helps capture and organize new books or recommendations.

I like this app overall. I love it’s purpose, and because of that, I understand it focuses more on content and connecting rather than the nuts and bolts. That said, it’s a great start. Let’s see you guys clean up the dates read widget. Should be much, much faster and less confusing. (Second session could be more clear.) I’m also hoping Amazon being added means Audible won’t be far off! Don’t forget about those of us who want to be reading but life dictates otherwise! I’m off to see your website! Keep it up!

Totally different than her 50 shades series but to me just as good, I couldn’t put it down......

This app is nice for keeping track of books but I am one of the moderators for a group and it doesn’t let me do things like update the bookshelves etc for that group. So when we are at book club choosing our book for next month etc I have to text the book name to myself and then get on my computer when I get home to update it. And when I try to go to the internet to access it through my phone’s browser it brings me to the app so I am actually going to uninstall the app and see how that goes.

I’ve been using this for the last three years to keep track of the books I’ve read and most recently mangas. I know for a fact I have way more than 415 books and manga I’ve read since I started using this app. I’ve been going back to see if I’ve read something and random books from the series are gone from my read list. For example a manga series I just finished has 18 books. I went back to look and 1-5 is gone and 9,10 and 14 are gone too. I started this last December and ended in March so it should still be on the list but it got taken off. I use this to keep track of all my manga. Looks like nothing can beat the old school version of this app- pen and paper- after all. Sad it’s a really great app otherwise.

Why? More importantly, why would I tolerate this? Goodbye, Goodreads!

I use a FB login and the app makes me go through the process at least 2-3 times minimum to get logged in. Not an issue on the computer. I hit the login with Facebook 1 time and it works. The app is at least twice sometimes 3 times and by that point the link I clicked to go directly to does not work so I have to search. This is also an issue when i try to use the browser since it knows I have the app installed so it converts to that everytime. Due to this o don’t really use the app so it may be good but I don’t know since the login process is such horrible. I am uninstalling.

The app needs a few things fixed. Is it possible to add the feature to reply to posts from previous comments in the Groups, so it links the comment you are replying from? Also, the sentences in group posts get cut off on the right side, so it makes reading responses a guessing game.
