Review summary

Overall, users appreciate Goodreads for its simple interface and strong tracking/history features, plus useful end-of-year reports and social aspects. Many reviews highlight the app's mobile accessibility and ability to track reads across decades. However, recurring problems pull down the experience: frequent reliability issues (authentication errors and logouts), data/UI bugs (shelf counts, negative numbers, occasional sign-in failures, limited feature parity with the desktop), and a slow/limited search with a clunky navigation. Users want desktop features brought into the mobile app, including edition management, quotes, updates, and a smoother login experience.

Pros

Easy to use and quick to load; straightforward input and management of reads.
Strong tracking/history features, keeping decades of reading history and the ability to write reviews.
Useful end-of-year reports and social features like monthly challenges and friends.
Mobile-friendly access to reads and ratings on the go, with progress updates.

Cons

Frequent reliability issues, including authentication errors and unexpected sign-outs.
Bugs in shelves/data (shelf counts can be wrong or negative) along with other UI bugs.
Hard to navigate with slow search and a less-polished user interface.
Missing desktop-level features on mobile and lack of feature parity (editions, updates, quotes).

2026-08-01	Ta*****	I just love a good mystery! And boy, is this a good one. When a newly married couple go to stay at a cabin and then just disappear, it is up to the cabin owner and the brother of the wife to figure out what happened and who has them. Will they find the missing couple in time? 5 star
