Customer Reviews

Great when it works. (3 stars)
I've been a pretty frequent goodreads use for the past 2 years so this app is really convenient. I've had the app for about 5months and I've had to delete and reinstall frequently. At this point I just use my browser but when the app isn't crashing, it's great to have

Crashes A LOT! (2 stars)
I love the layout but this app crashes way too much

Recommendations? (4 stars)
This app would be perfection if in the next update they added the "recommendations" section that you get to see when you go to the website. It's really helpful for those looking for new books/genres. Please add this!!
