## Goodreads Reviews in South Africa

### ***** "Reading Journey"
I never stat a new book without searching it on the app and reading the review and ratings. I follow readers that have the same intrest as me and that make it fun to see what they read and enjoy.  The app keeps me consistent on my reading goals. I set a new goal every year and love exceeding the target.
-- Mdevill, 2024-12-30

### *---- "Add a dislike button"
Please just add one
-- hhbfgbvhgf, 2024-10-29

### *---- "Restore review"
Accidentally deleted a book because Goodreads had marked it as 2x reading session. I tried to delete the one session but it ended up deleting the whole book. 

Not so much angry at the book deleted but can I have my reviews back please. How do I restore everything I said about the book???
-- Moghel, 2024-10-27

### ***** "Art of hearing a heartbeat"
Beautiful writing!!
-- Renate 88888888, 2024-09-12

### ***** "Great app!"
A feature I enjoy most is being able to update my progress 😍😍
-- 👌🏾🥰, 2024-07-19

### ****- "I love this app!"
Really great app for any avid reader.
-- Nomsa02, 2024-07-18

### ***** "Journey"
Goodreads is a great app for tracking one’s reading journey, planning what to read next and for sharing with others. I recommend this app to readers wherever I go and love to see their reading journey too.
-- Floydus100, 2024-06-06

### ****- "Could be better"
While Goodreads is a valuable platform for book lovers, there's room for improvement. The formatting options could be more user-friendly, and the inability to directly upload photos from devices feels like a missed opportunity. I would love to see updates that focus on enhancing the user experience and fostering a more engaging community. is long overdue. I always have to look up what symbols I need to be able to add images, links, etc. I can't see images I've used on the app, I need to log into the desktop version to see images. The app could be more interactive than “like” and “comment”. I can't even like someone’s comment in an ongoing interaction. I've got to comment in order to show I like their comment. Why this hasn't changed confuses me.
-- @nandogigaba, 2024-05-01

### ***** "Brilliant Tool"
Goodreads is such an awesome and helpful platform to facilitate keeping an online library and keep track of your books, notes, wish lists, reading goals and more. Highly recommended, even if you aren't a regular reader.
-- Marcolini_Lappochini, 2024-03-11

### ***-- "Good app, but needs improvement"
During the last two weeks or so the app has been incredibly slow, and would crash unexpectedly while I’m reading or waiting for search results to load.
-- annemyne, 2024-01-25

### ***** "One of my favorite apps"
It has been 12+ years and this is still one of my favorite apps. If you like books, this is for you.
-- Chantzi08, 2024-01-19

### **--- "Vo with app"
The app could be made more accessible to voiceover users.
-- vanilla475, 2023-10-14

### *---- "Not great. Worse since some major bugs showed up and nothing has been fixed for weeks"
The app itself really could be better. It never attempted to recommend me anything other than random books from genres that I had already stated I enjoyed. But it was usable. Then, it started bugging out and refusing to provide any LOGICAL search results. It’s been weeks of awful interaction with this damn app. I’m out.
-- CinnamonBunsMusic, 2023-08-02

### ****- "Sorting"
Love this app but suddenly it doesn’t sort the books in order from highest lowest average rating? Is there a issue?
-- ZietSA, 2023-07-26

### ****- "It’s amazing"
I really love Goodreads and I’ve been using it for close to two years now. It helps me keep track of the books that I read and i always look forward to my stats at the end of the year.

The only thing I don’t like about Goodreads is that fact that we only have five stars as an option to rate books. I would really love if they could incorporate a decimal system, with a 0.5, 0.25 and 0.75.
-- vashtinayagar, 2023-07-23

### **--- "Ugh"
Takes FOREVER to load anything and times out all the time. Been trying to see my reading goal for 2 days and it refuses to load it. Get it together Goodreads or I’m moving to story graph
-- ashleighmb11, 2023-07-02

### ***-- "Great app, but needs updating"
The interface is dated & feels clunky. 
A 1/2 star rating option would also really make a difference!
-- az reviews, 2023-05-01

### ***** "hi"
I like Goodreads a lot.
I like laughing at other people’s opinions.
-- JollyJammers, 2023-04-18

### ***** "Great app to have for book lovers"
I love Goodreads. So handy to have when visiting a book shop so that you can quickly check reviews on a book or search for a book on your to read list.
-- Natasha's ipad, 2023-04-01

### ***** "Such a good app!"
The best app for avid readers. I’ve discovered so many books from using this app. I can track my reading, make a list of books I still want to read, see other people’s opinions on books I’ve read/want to read. Amazing.
-- liza_kruger, 2022-11-30
