I love this app! It is super useful to help keep track of books that I've read and want to read. I enjoy participating in the yearly reading challenge. I love being able to categorise books in different custom lists, so that when I want to buy/borrow a certain genre I just browse through the categories I sorted them into.

The ratings and reviews have helped me find really good books! I've also found great ones through their recommendation system. Also, via their book giveaways I've received over ten books to read and review (though reviewing is technically optional). The book club groups are great; I've enjoyed discussing books and finding new books to read with other like-minded people.

My only gripes are that the app leaves a lot to be desired compared to the actual website functions. It is much easier to whip out my phone to update my reading progress really quickly, but there are times I have to drag out my laptop to access certain features because for some reason they didn't implement them in the app.

I'd also love half star rating options, and if my books would always save correctly. I'd also like if I could pick which edition on the app (i.e. I read the hardcover), but as far as I know it just picks whatever (i.e., I clicked "currently reading" on the book that popped up in search, and it used the e-book). If I want to fix it I have to edit it on the website.

Overall I really love this app, and I think they'll eventually fix these issues and give users what they want.
