Goodreads: Book Reviews

This book is a whirlwind of emotions. It has a real resemblance with Cinderella but instead of working for her stepmother she’s slaving away for her aunt and cousins and goes to a ball to meet a prince. It starts fast but has some slow in between switch is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 but the ending took it from 3 stars to 4. Amazing twist and couldn’t wait to start the next book

An excellent way to keep track of read, and want to read books.

Kostir Elska þetta smáforrit. Eitthvað sem allir bóka unnendur ættu að hafa í snjalltækinu sínu. Frábært til að hafa yfirsýn yfir þær bækur sem maður er búin að lesa. Þægilegt að merkja við bækur sem manni langar að lesa eða skoða frekar. Sérstaklega gott þegar skapast umræða um góða bók sem maður hefur ekki lesið. Þá getur maður merkt hana strax inn svo maður gleymi henni ekki. Gallar Stundum er erfitt að finna íslenskaðar bækur eftir erlenda höfunda en þá finnur maður þá á öðru máli (sem er ekkert mál ef maður kann þá önnur mál). Oft er ekki hægt að finna eldri íslenskar bækur eða bækur sem flokkast kannski ekki sem þær allra vinsælustu. Heilt yfir fràbært smáforrit sem ég fæ ekki nóg að að mæla með.

Amazing app, why was i just realizing this exists now?!

As a tool, Goodreads is a great way for me to find new books. I’d recommend it to any reader. The app itself features a fresh UI that is bright and stimulating. It would be even better if it had a night mode or system detect as other applications do. This would be especially useful for ebook readers in need of less harsh conditions for their eyes. I’d be more inclined to use the app at night time (when I read) if the application UI was not so intense.

This app is absolutely horrible! You are lucky if it ever loads as you just get error messages all the time! Want to update your book progress to show that you finished a book for your yearly goal? Too bad. You go in to add the end date and just error messages. Close out the app to restart, same thing. I’m officially tired of this and going to delete this app and go to something else that doesn’t have these issues! So disappointed!

I was updating my “read books” and the book count would go up, then go down by like 20 books. I’ll scroll through my list and they’re all there, but then my profile will say a completely different number. Every time I open the app, the number changes, even if I haven’t put any more books on or off. It’s very strange.

This app has nearly had ok I want to check out!! LOVE Goodreads!!

It’s nice to have all the information of my TBR list in one place, be able to see my progress throughout the book, leave a review, and read other reviews. A few user-experience updates I wish they would make is to have a section for quotes for found in physical books, a time tracker for audiobooks, and incremental star-rating options (.25, .50, .75)

I like this app, but I would use it more if it were less prone to crashing. That’s happened quite a few times when I’ve been in the middle of writing a review. The notification system is also glitchy. I feel like I would use the app more if the platform were set up in a more user-friendly way.
