Customer Reviews
Content filter?
This app is great. I really am exited to explore more books with this app. The only think I wish it had is a content filter.
Maybe it's too much to ask because not everyone needs it, but a lot of books being suggested to me have gruesome sexual violence, which I cannot endure even a sentence of without experiencing trauma related issues that can affect me heavily for sometimes even days. This is simply because there are a lot of books with sexual violence, and it is by no means Goodreads' fault, but I was hoping in the future there could be a way to filter certain types of explicit content out.
Still looking forward to using the app. For now I'll just be very cautious of the books I read.
One of my favorite apps on my phone
If I get talking to someone about books and reading (which I am known to do), one of the first questions I ask is "are you on goodreads"? This is one my favorite apps on my phone. I trust the ratings and reviews of the Goodreads community, I religiously keep my lists updated and prioritized, whenever my shelves are feeling bare of unread books I hop over to my to-read shelf and pick the next two or three to order. I love finding new books to add to my want to read shelf and love the satisfaction of putting my review out there in the world for others to read when the book is done. Cannot recommend enough!!!
Good app
This app is fantastic! I like how it is organized and put together. The only things that I would like to see improved are the explore feature & the search loading. The loading will reload the top 8 or so books as the next ones when you click "see more" and you have to click it again to actually see new books. The explore feature would be better if I could search through a proper list and not just one category of books.
