45 Positive User Reviews for Goodreads: Book Reviews

Love it

I’ve loved it so far! Happy to be able to keep track of reading and see different options for books. It motivates me to read more or faster to get more badges:)

Star rating

Wish there was .25, .5,.75 options for star ratings

Favorite app

I use Goodreads for any book that I touch. And it is almost always served me the way I need!!

Love love love

I love how my freinds can see the books I've read so far

A suggestion

It would be really nice if we could block profiles, or at the very least have a “not interested” feature on a review so we don’t have to see a persons reviews any longer on books.

This is a great app.

It’s one of the best book apps I’ve ever had. Usually you need subscriptions for apps which give recommendations but this app is totally free which makes it worth buying and it’s a free purchase too. It’s great for keeping track of pages and u can have a reading goal for the year. U also have friends and can follow other readers and see reviews on books and best of all it gives u recommendations and u even get cute little badges/bookmarks for reading a book each month. This app is worth the hype

THE BEST READING APP

I truly love Goodreads. It’s a great place to connect with other readers, learn about new books and keep up with what you want to read and have read! Absolutely love it!

Still the GOAT

I find GR to be my number one choice when looking to check out any information on any book. I appreciate the ease and ability to see the basic details like page count and genre combined with opinions and thoughts of friends, family and other readers I respect. Plus, I appreciate the other benefits they provide like offering suggestions, hosting giveaways and curating newsletters and bookish content.

Needs improvement

It’s good for basic reading needs but is certainly outdated given this day and age. You can make book groups but can’t access them from the mobile app only from the physical site. Which almost no one is going to do. Some more customizable options would be nice for profiles, make things more aesthetically pleasing. Little digital book shelf would be cool like some of the other apps have. Honestly if the other apps connected to kindle I probably wouldn’t still be using Goodreads.

dark mode

arghh why is there no dark mode for this app, almost every app has a dark mode these days. again why is there no dark mode

Half Stars?

It would be great to have half stars… that’s all, thank you!

Functional but needs to be updated.

Good all around app but it definitely needs an update. Good at the basic needs like keeping track of books and dates and reviews.

Best app for book lovers!

I log absolutely everything I read on this. My whole book life revolves around this app. Everything is on it. I absolutely love it. If you read, DOWNLOAD IT!

Great way to keep track

Goodreads is a wonderful way for me to keep track of books I have read. I like that I can keep my progress updated easily and it helps me remember what I have read. I also love keep a record of books I want to read

Potential for better recommendations

There’s a strong possibility for improved recommendations and improved reader stats

Good for record keep/reviews

Love this app for remembering what I have read, what I want to read, recording my thoughts on books and authors, and providing me with quick reviews: available via scanning a book cover, so I can quickly assess whether or not to grab a book off the library shelf. Not good for making connections with other readers who like what you like (and getting more individualized recommendations).

Star ratings

Wish I could give half ratings for stars. Design and ease of use could use slightly more work but over-all fun app to have

I need the genre

I love this app! I just wish when pulling up a book, it listened the genre somewhere (or easier to find if I'm missing it?)

Great app but needs some updates/fixes

I have been using this app for years but dates on books don’t update. Sometimes I get a notification but when I check there is nothing. Very glitchy but a great way to keep track of books/reading.

Fave App

This is one of my favorite apps. I am an avid reader, and I enjoy documenting what I read and learning about what others are reading. Gives me great ideas for next books for myself. One of my most used apps.

Better than the website

I really hate the website since they changed it. This is a lot easier to navigate. Please do not change it!

Goodreads

I love Goodreads, but the app crashes a lot, especially when scrolling through lists. It’s a little frustrating.

Really like it but I get errors

Really like this app but when looking for book suggestions I get unable to connect errors after clicking more than 4 genres. It’s super annoying

Great for book lovers, but very buggy.

I mostly use this app for seeing book ratings and reviews and of course keeping track of my books read. There are lots of bugs, but most of it has to do with the social media aspect side of it - home page, following, friends, updates, etc. As Jack Edwards said, “I’ve had a Tamagotchi with a better user interface than GoodReads.”

Age rating please

Please give a age rating with every book

A great place to keep track of what I read and want to read.

A mystery entangled with small town relationships. Falk gets involved with two puzzles: the disappearance of a young woman on a trail near an Australian reservoir. Did she fall and drown? An accountants death due to hit and run in the same spot. Understanding the people is more important than solving the riddle or perhaps the riddle is the relationships. It it’s a wine producing area and the story begins with Wine fair.

Beautiful start to an amazing my adventure

Everyone can see a little bit of Maagy in the girl they once were, while perfectly geared towards youth audiences I loved every second of her impetuous journey and transformation.

5/5

I discovered Goodreads in high school and I’m still using it in college. It’s great for finding new books, and keeping track of what you’ve already read.

If your goal is to read more, this app makes it happen

I have shared this app so many times to my reading friends. It is fantastic in inspiring me to read and stick to my goals. I love that the app shows me more books I would possibly be interested in reading based off what I have read.

5/5

Goodreads has my heart.

The goal tracking

This app is great if you just want to track how many books you have read in total. But the feature were you make a goal for the year and than track how many books you have read does not work for me. It glitches and does not add my books so far I have read one book this year and it still says 0 out of 150.

Must have for readers

Goodreads is to go-to app for any book lover!

DOWNLOAD NOW!

This app is incredible it has everything you could need and more. It helps you keep track of your reading. Books you want to read. You can follow your favorite book your tubers account and see what they are into. Or you and your significant other can follow each others accounts and when you want to get them a special gift you can you at there want to read list. Win ! Win!

The things I like, I love. The things I hate, I loathe. Kinda like books that way.

Heyyy, I'd love it if Goodreads fixed the pop-up for reviews where even a whisper near your device closes the pop-up and loses your draft. Group functionality on the app is awful too. We can't even vote in-club? But the app allows us to vote in the Goodreads yearly awards. Coolcoolcool 🙄

Rating Goodreads

Goodreads had many uses: keeping track of what I read; rating books and leaving reviews others can read; finding other books by the same author or finding a similar book by a different author; reading reviews to help me choose my next read; reading book synopsis to assist in choosing my next book. It also provides access to other genres so I can add variety to my reading choices.

AMAZING but I need half stars

Pleaseeeee give half stars i need them

Could be great

Overall, I really love this app - it’s just missing a few little things. The user friendly way to find and add books to your list, the missing ability to access and use groups in the app - I have to have a browser window open on my phone to use this. I hope they do some improvements with this - perhaps like audible and kindle, having connections to Libby and Hoopla.

Very old design/functionality

Goodreads is okay for what it does. It’s a very comprehensive database but the user interface is a bit limited. No option to filter out books on your reading list, for people with larger lists the app tends to crash quite a bit or have errors when you try to find something on your list, the search doesn’t account for misspellings.

The Family Remains

I did not like the prequel, The Family Upstairs, but I was intrigued by the the idea of what happened to the children. Lisa Jewel did an amazing job providing details of their lives during the next 20+ years how the dysfunction of their childhood had a lasting impact… and how it continued.

Love this app

I absolutely love this app! It has helped me get back into my love of reading and also allowed me to make some new friends along the way 🫶🏽

Please update

I normally log in via Facebook and for a while now I have been logged out and unable to get in. I was able to enter on the internet so I know it’s an issue with the app!

such a neat app!!

i really love goodreads!! it's so nice to be able to keep track of your books and to join groups to connect with people!! i love how i can ask for book recs in my different groups or set goals for myself. i highly recommend for anyone who reads a lot or is trying to read a lot!!!

Everyone needs this app

But Goodreads really needs to make half star reviews an option

Thankful for this app

Thankful this app can help me track the books I’ve read, books I want to read & see other suggestions for future reads.

Updates needed

For the love of God please make the app more user friendly and have better rendering, it’s like being stuck in a 2014 website that hasn’t updated since.
