Ratings and reviews

This is is a pretty solid app (and website) for tracking and finding new books, but there's definitely room for improvement. It would be so helpful if we could sort books on author pages by things like what we're currently reading, release date, or even genre. Right now, they’re only sorted by the number of ratings, which is useful, but it feels kinda limiting. Having more ways to organize the books would make browsing a lot smoother and really improve the overall experience with author pages

Love the idea, but the app is sub-par. It freezes constantly, can't change the page count on novels (sometimes, they're 50+ pages off), and it doesn't show my friends updates. I want to love it, but I just don't. I'm still going to use it for a bit, but I'm currently trying out other apps because the inconvenience is making me a bit crazy.

I wish the app reflected the website better. Navigating the groups function on the app is difficult. There's no way to edit your comments on the app like you can on the website. Taging books and authors is not an option on the app. You can't search for people to add them to your friends list. The website has so many features that you simply cannot access on the app. It's really annoying when you have to open your phones browser to do something that should be available on the app but isn't.
