Hard to report spam and access Help

I had a spammer comment on a review. I use an iPhone to access Goodreads and it isn’t possible to flag the spam on the app. Also it was hard to find out how to do it on the website. The Help function on the App is poor. I only use the App so this is really frustrating.

Everything you need from a book review app.

will suffice, but, is very outdated

Spectacular app overall, but it is in desperate need of an update. everything lags, and there are several problems; such as user accessibility, user friendly platform, notifications, more book feed options and revamp in general. It is the best app there is for tracking and reading books but is in desperate need of a fresh start.

bad interface and not useful for recommendations

i downloaded and joined goodreads because i thought it would be good to help me find new books, but all i have ended up getting is frustrated with an interface that feels like it was designed for the mid-2000’s. it is clunky and difficult to use, and there is no way to dismiss book recommendations that you are not interested in. as a picky reader, i was hoping for an app that would learn and recommend based on my expressed reading preferences, similar to how pandora stations can be customized based on what songs you thumbs up or thumbs down in the course of your listening. however there is no way to express reading preferences on goodreads aside from rating books that you already have read, and frankly i find it extremely frustrating that i cannot tailor my recommendations better because i do not have the option to thumbs down books that i know i would dislike based on the description and existing reviews. the hunt for a halfway decent book rec app continues.

Be able to save book lists people create

You know how when you scroll all the way down past the reviews of a book and past the “other books by this author” and “readers also enjoyed” you get to “lists featuring this book”? It would be nice if we could somehow save or bookmark those lists
Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
