Love this app!

I love being able to track what I’ve read, and what I want to read. Plus read book reviews, and follow other readers. I’ve found a lot of good books to read, thanks to this app.

Magical!

Juliet has again transported me to the magic of another place and another time. However, I have also been guided through a familiar grief for nature and community, alongside a feeling of helplessness, that instead of leading to hopelessness, instead illuminated the power of working together for the greater good and the magic of the forest. I can’t wait to read on!

Finally!

Five stars all along, but finally books on Amazon now tally here. First blush I don’t see my complete library yet, but so glad I can now toggle between the apps.

Apparently I live in the future

I am sick and tired of going to mark a book as read, then being told “please adjust the finish date, you can’t put a date from the future”….just a reminder, there are countries that are not in the US that exist you know? Also it’s very convenient that I go to ask for help through the app, to be told the URL doesn’t exist anymore.

Ok

Good

Yay books!

Overall a good app

I think there’s a lot of things they need to do better. You should have the ability to give something a half a star being one of them and also trying to find your friends on here is very difficult. It’s like you’re searching the witness protection program.

Goodreads

Need half ratings

Good app

I recommend downloading this app

NO PARTIAL STAR RATING

I mean come on.. it’s not that much to ask to allow us to put partial star ratings. Let’s do better here

A book lovers guide!

I love Goodreads for many reasons!! 1: it keeps up with the books I’ve read. 2; it allows me to review the books I read 3: it allows me to see recommendations of other readers for books I want to read 4: it keeps me updated with releases from authors I follow

My view

I really enjoy using this app because it’s helped me keep track of all books I have read or currently reading so I don’t get lost in translation.

Meh

3/5 ⭐

Goodreads is… fine.

I mainly use it because it syncs with my Kindle and it’s the standard app for tracking what I’m reading. It does its job, but honestly, I don’t think it’s a very enjoyable app to use.

The biggest issue is the user interface. On mobile, everything feels cluttered and harder to navigate than it should be. Somehow, it’s even worse on PC. For a platform that’s been around for so long and is owned by Amazon, I expected something much more modern and intuitive.

That said, it has a huge community, plenty of reviews, and it’s still one of the best places to keep track of your books. I just wish the app itself felt less outdated and more user-friendly.

Overall, it’s functional, but nothing about using it makes me excited to open it.

3 out of 5 stars.

Great Goodreads!

This app is fab! I recommend it to my borrowers at the library, as it helps keep track of what you’ve read, and gives good suggestions for more reads!

Rating system

You aren’t allowed to give 1/2 star ratings…just a 1,2,3,4, or 5.

Love GR

I love Goodreads and use it almost daily

Track

I like being able to track my reads. Along with my reviews.
I also like to see what others are reading

Great for Book Nerds

Goodreads has not been around as long as I’ve been reading, but I have loved it since the moment I started using it. I love tracking the books I’ve read and being able to look back on my experiences (I often forget specifics beyond “it was good”). Excellent resource!

Don’t want book apps

Don’t want book apps

Has everything but….

I don’t understand how you can be this popular of an app and not have the option for half star ratings in a subject where ratings is part of the whole experience. So since I can’t give a 4 1/2 star rating even on the review for the app (which is also crazy) or for books, I’ll just keep it at 4. Also the page count has been wrong on all 3 of my books. I’ve tried to edit but can’t seem to find out how or maybe it’s not possible
