This is a privacy SCAM!

As I sit here listening to 60 Minutes report on the abuse of private data by online social media and others. In the US we have almost zero privacy. While Europeans have total control over their own data. Goodreads might have been good. First the forced noting a rating for at least 20 books befor... Show more

?????

So, I decided to wait on the update for a day or so, because I saw a couple recent reviews that were expressing issues. I figured I was happy with status quo, and was intending to take a wait and see posture. Didn’t even click the button, then change my mind, and click it to stop it. Went to open G... Show more

Good but could use some improvements

Overall, I think this is a decent app for tracking your reading progress (though by no means the only one in its category). The process of finding a book, adding it to your shelf, tracking its progress, and leaving a review is simple and easy. It’s when you spend a little more time on it that I thi... Show more

PLEASD ADD!!

I LOVE this app, don’t get me wrong. I have been using it for around 2 years now and it has been wonderful, however it is missing something many book lovers crave. STATS! Graphs!! There is a way to access some graphs, however there is some major problems with those. Primarily being it is hard to f... Show more

Great for keeping track

this app is a great app for keeping track of what you’ve read. BUT, the reviews are inaccurate. If someone doesn’t like a certain author, they gather their “squad” and give it a bunch of one star reviews and start bashing the book before it’s even released TO ANYONE, Including Beta readers or Blog... Show more

Something is wrong with the “add/edit dates read” feature

Anytime I read a book that I’ve read before, the activity history doesn’t reflect the new dates. It will list the first time I read the book and the second time I read the book, but it will continue to say “the last read on” date is the first time I read it. When you click “add/edit dates read” it ... Show more

needs a revamp

i use Goodreads religiously but it needs an revamp BAD. the UI looks like it hasnt changed since day 1 and itd be nice if i could see my friends activity more often than i see ads on my feed 😑. would be nice if we could personalize our profiles, but not necessary. also recommendations or searchin...

Great app

Right now I’m 15 years old and a average reader. I use Goodreads to track my reading and also compete with my friends over our yearly goals (they’re also readers) I do have some suggestions I would love added. Currently the books tell you how far you are based off a set page number however this do... Show more

Needs Some Improvements

I like Goodreads overall, but I really wish it would include a few things. I tend to listen to audiobooks, so when I switch it to that version and want to update my progress, I can’t input the time I have left listening to the book. It only allows me to input the percent or page/s I've read.
<... Show more

Hi Goodreads. PLEASE ADD THESE THINGS

Goodreads is wonderful. It is almost perfect. BUT every person I’ve talked to who uses this app have all been in agreement it would be a GAME CHANGER if these were added:
1) A 0.5 star option. It sounds silly but it can be so frustrating deciding if a book it 4 or 5 stars. If there was a 4.5 ... Show more

Other than porn spam, this app is amazing

I absolutely love this app! There are so many features and I love being able to see what friends are reading, and also looking back on the books I’ve read. Additionally, the want to read list is really helpful so I can just look on it when I want to check out a book at the library. For the first y... Show more

Great, but could use a little tweaks

I love Goodreads. I use it every day. (Scroll to bottom to see reason for 4 star rating.) I love to new track of books I’ve read and what I’ve thought of them, in case a friend asks for a recommendation. I like to update what I’m currently reading as I go to see how far along I am in percentages. ... Show more

Perfect! Just missing one thing...

I love Goodreads! I love that you can scan books into it for easy cataloging, I love that I can use it while doing unnecessary book shopping to make sure I don’t buy what I already have. I love that I can update my progress on books in Goodreads . It’s literally missing just one thing - the abilit... Show more

Change is important

Ok so... it took me a while to see a couple of things I really really wanted this app to change.
First is that I can’t seem to edit my shelf other than change its name and delete books. But it should also let you change the order of the books and let you put them in other shelves without having... Show more

This could be better

I like Goodreads 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... Show more

Awesome!!!

This is Goodreads I use most when looking at books. I love all the features in it and I like how features are still being added.
•A few things I would suggest, though, are adding an option for when you are recording which days you read the book (from start to finish), to also have an option for... Show more

I use it ALL THE TIME!!

Goodreads is amazing. I use it all the time!! It’s fun to keep up with all of your reading and to look back at everything you've read. I love how you can tell it what page your on and it will tell you exactly how far into the book you are. The database is huge!! Even books I don’t expect to find a... Show more

Forced “Read”, “Want to Read”, “Currently Reading”

UPDATE: this app contacted me and suggested I make my son’s bookshelf “exclusive”, meaning books on the shelf wouldn’t be on two shelves (that one and “currently reading” at the same time). It’s exactly what I needed. Thanks this app! I updated my review!

Wonderful!

I don't have room in my house for a bookcase nor do I have enough money to buy all the books I love and display them in my house. Therefore, when I found this app I found the perfect way to create a digital bookcase with reviews and all! I simply adore it :)

My only wish would be a DNF cate... Show more

Perfect for book lovers or casual readers.

I usually never write reviews, but my life as a reader was totally changed after finding Goodreads. I love books and always have, but life keeps you busy and you end up putting things aside. Well, Goodreads has helped me find so many books I NEED to read, and it has helped me rediscover my love... Show more

Group messages cryptic

Goodreads is convenient. I use it daily. There are a few things I wish Goodreads could handle—Input on book recommendations, for instance. I am never going to read that book. Dealing with it on my phone’s tiny browser is frustrating. But that’s among the “some day” hopes, and it’s not a big deal... Show more

Love it. That said, there’s much potential for growth

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... Show more

Missing a few features

This would be a five star app for me if it had the following: an option to abandon books and not have to include them count as read books, want to be read (no thanks, I abandoned it for a reason) or currently reading. I know I can add an abandoned shelf but it has to be marked as one of the main th... Show more

This Side of Center Encore by J. A. Willoughby

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 lig...

Karma

I truly enjoyed the book due to the characters. It also had a view point of what comes around goes around. The main character, Marcy, is a tired overworked divorced women who has a truly terrible ex. The ex before divorcing her empties all of their back accounts after she puts him through his sc... Show more
