Not great at all. The app is too basic and would really benefit from the add friend features that are available on the desktop site. It's so frustrating trying to add people on the app as you have to switch to the desktop site. I don't want to add people from my contacts on my phone so which is all the app offers. Make the app more like the desktop site!! Trust me that's what we want!! We use phones more than we do computers these days!!!

I've been using GoodReads forever. In that time the app has never changed. Theres so much improvement that could be done. If you want to do the very basic on your account, then it's fine. But navigating MANY of its features is not possible in the app. You have to use the desktop version. Months ago I even wrote GoodReads about a bug I found. They said they had been aware of it. It still hasn't been fixed.

EDIT: After 6 years with no improvement I'm moving over to Storygraph. The app is missing too much functionality. Searching for a specific book is a nightmare. You can type in exactly the name of the book and it will not be in the first 50 books that come up listing books with not even similar titles first. There is no way to search books by genre and sort them by average rating. This should be a key feature. When searching for a book there's no link to the rest of the series. Awful.
