Goodreads
FreeA free book-tracking and social reading app with shelves, reviews, recommendations and yearly reading challenges.
About Goodreads
Goodreads is a social cataloguing service for readers. You keep shelves such as Want to Read, Currently Reading and Read, rate and review books, and see what friends are reading. The mobile app puts the same catalogue in your pocket.
A cover and barcode scanner lets you add a book while standing in a shop and check reviews before you buy. The app also offers personalised recommendations based on your ratings and favourite genres, public book lists, groups and discussions, and an annual Reading Challenge to set a target for the year. Progress updates let you log how far through a book you are.
It suits anyone who reads regularly and wants a single place to remember what they have read and what to read next. The store listings describe Goodreads as a free service. The Android listing declares ads, so expect some advertising alongside the content. Because it is a social service, the more books you rate, the more useful the suggestions and friend updates become over time.
Your shelves live on the Goodreads service, so the app is a front end to the same account you use on the website. Import and export options are handled on the website rather than in the app.
