Very basic functions missing. Very user unfriendly, unintuitive. why is it impossible to search with multiple search terms? why is it impossible to sort books based on rating/ release date/ etc/. I can't select the book language. the app is also crashing constantly. very difficult to find new books/ suggestions. not possible to save lists. also difficult to look for friends. in lots of reviews there are links that show garbled internet code . everything is difficult on this app, but why?

I use this app quite a lot but I've been disappointed by the new update. I don't like the new changes to the reading challenges, such as not being able to see your friends' challenges, automatic sync with Kindle, no star ratings on the challenges screen as well as the additional challenges. I think the app could benefits from reversing these changes and instead implementing the ability to change editions in the app, fixing the bug of reviews disappearing, and adding half stars.

Disappointed. On one hand, the app feels just like a web wrapper. Often slow and unresponsive. But on the other hand, it then misses a lot of features that the website does have. I mainly use Goodreads for the recommendations, they are tucked away in an overflow menu. The useless discover tab gets a place at the bottom, only shows the most popular lists. Most annoying of all, 'books like this', which I often use to find books similar to ones I like isn't anywhere.
