Meet Our Updated iOS App!

Posted by Libby on September 24, 2014
This is a major update to our Goodreads iPhone and iPad app’s design and navigation. The apps are now iOS 8-ready, and feature a beautifully redesigned newsfeed and streamlined navigation to help you discover great books and share your reading with friends.



Download the updated app from the iTunes App Store to check out all the new features, and tell us what you think!

For our Android-loving members, we promise that we have not forgotten you! The team is working on an update. We know it’s been a long wait, so thank you for your patience. It’s coming!

Kerri (Book Hoarder) Hmmm... I do wish there was a way to disable it entirely, but if you can get it fixed so that the 'x' actually works, I'll take that in the meantime. :) Thanks for the response.

It'd be great if you could let IT know that having the general update option is missed as well!

I will definitely let them know about the general update option!

Just to clarify, you should still be able to get that box off of your updates feed right now. Just very carefully tap the "X", and it should disappear.

Sean O The Goodreads feature on the paperwhite is less than useless. Frankly, it's an embarassment. Fix that, 'k?

Karma Queen I'm not happy with the update for the iPhone App. I used to be able to turn my phone to landscape view in order to see pictures but now the view does not rotate with my phone. I know the app will never offer all the features of the site on the web, but it was nice to be able to use the rotate option.


Marlobo ♥ epilogues Waiting for Android app too!!!!

Guilherme Gontijo I loved it! Just one thing: I think everyone would like if "unfollow someone" would be easier.

Alec Feedback & Suggestions:

- Have the notification/messages/requests bar appear on the main page.
- I personally would prefer the old main page returned (with updated visuals).
- Let users customise what icons appear on the bottom menu bar (I don't ever use scan and would much prefer groups to appear there)
- The search page seems a little redundant when you already have a search field on the top of the home screen.

Donna Is anyone else getting updates for people not listed as their friends? Somehow, my account got linked to someone else's friend list, as far as I can tell. I'm waiting to hear back about this from Goodreads after I notified them. At first, I had the error/overcapacity message like some others have complained about, and then it resolved, but I'm receiving updates for a set of people who aren't my friends even though everything else is correct such as my friend list and my profile. Plus, I miss having the message and notification icons on my home page. I want the old version back.

Gillian It's not available for MacBooks right?


message 160: by Artur (new)

Artur Coelho meh. sorry, but there is more than ios users. the android app looks and feels like it's never been updated in ages. and in fact it hasn't.


message 161: by Sara (new)

Sara This does look great, but Android users are very jealous ;) I read online that the update will happen, but there's no date?

April Taylor please please please go back to last version, do not like drop down menu, home page w icons much better

Liz Esteves update the app on ipad, the currently reading folder does not show up under the My Books. Deleted app and reinstalled it and did not fix the problem. Also, when moving a book to a shelf, the menu only shows a few you have to go the other to view them. don't like the home page either. easier navigation on the previous version. Also, think they should allow for subfolders. For Example: Currently Ready, (subfolder name) where you can have categories of different type of books like Action, Romance, etc. should have that as well under Read and To Read. Also a suggestion, when view an author, on ipad or iphone, the book list for the author should show if you read it or not like the computer version.

Virginia Hi! I am STILL having issue with the "error getting updates" for awhile now. I have force closed, signed in and out and deleted and redownloaded the app multiple times. Still getting the same error message. What gives?!


message 165: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Do you have any plans for expanded Listopia (liked lists, search by tag) or also having access to seeing series when view books as well?


message 166: by Celticfish (new)

Celticfish How come there is no more "currently reading" folder? Inconvenient :( Now I only can see the books I am currently reading at the top of the screen...

Dora I too waiting for the android Application


˜”*°•.˜”*°• Sheri  •°*”˜.•°*”˜ I have an older iphone, 4s, and all of a sudden, started Friday, my screen isn't large enough to scroll down to the sign out button. I can push my screen down but if I hold my screen while pushing "sign out" it still won't work. Any ideas?

Sheri, are you on the app or on the mobile website? If you're on the app, have you tried updating to the latest version?


˜”*°•.˜”*°• Sheri  •°*”˜.•°*”˜ I'm using the app. Never have had a problem until last Friday.

I do have the updated app and just deleted it and reinstalled it and it's doing the same thing. How long has the Choice Awards 2014 link been on this screen? The Settings link is below that and I'm wondering if the Choice Awards link has recently been added pushing Settings too far down. Guess for now I'll have to delete it from the phone.

Daniel This is rather funny, as I received an email from you recommending your mobile apps for iOS and Android. Plot twist: I'm a Windows Phone user, and still no sign of WP app.

Seth Rader Still waiting on the update for the Android and A windows phone app.


message 175: by Todd (new)

Todd ROOTING FOR THE ANDROID UPDATE!!!!

The Android app doesn't even have push notifications yet. When is this going to be addressed??????? The Apple app seems to be getting priority even though Amazon has partnered with Goodreads... and runs Android...even has an android app store...

WTF Guys!!??
