New errors and no scroll lock Since latest update whenever the back button is pressed when reading reviews the app shows an error message and reloads. Also the absence of the screen position lock when clicking on an item in a list only to return to the previous page and wind up all the way at the top and needing to scroll endlessly to find where you were is quite frustrating. Why is the app so much better for iPhone? Review written when used on Verizon Note 4

eBooks vs. dead trees Nice idea, being able to scan in my books, but I mostly read eBooks these days, and they don't tend to have easily accessible bar codes, by definition. They are all in one place on my tablet, they are in epub format so why not give me the option to scan my tablet for them. As this app is a little pointless currently I'll be uninstalling it.

Stupid way to enter status I swear this app used to be better, i.e., I don't remember being frustrated by it this much in the past.

need to add more options too much errors and slow downs. if you are active and write status, comments, view profiles and authors pages you will know how this app is almost useless. I have to use browseres most of the time.

Usable but has limitations. Frustrating for a heavy users. Not as good as mobile site. I want features that are available on both mobile / desktop sites. This is one of my most used apps so I'd love for the user experience to be better. Update: I'm glad that I can now copy & paste book details. Also the suggestions dropdown when searching is nice. Please add features like edit profile or bookshelves, compare books, follow reviews, view & like quotes, change book editions and add general status updates etc.

Not really user friendly To be honest I used to use the app on iPhone and changed my new phone recently. I did not realise there is such big difference between apps for different system. I personally would prefer the one for ios system as it is definitely more user friendly. Although it is more complicated for the android one, the app is still a handy one to look up books and update reading status.
Good but not awesome Its good to have a mobile app where we can search for a book, read reviews, etc., and decide whether to buy it or not. It really helps while going through columns of books through a bookstore. But still lacks a lot of options such as searching a book on basis genres etc. It would be nice to have a browse section as like the website.
Remove book suggestion There should be an option in the recommendation section to remove a book from the list of suggestions. We should be able to see new recommendations instead of the same ones we have to scroll through every single time just to find a book that we actually like and that we haven't seen more than once.
Make app more like... ...desktop version. Batch sorting and organizing shelves should be just as easy on app. This app needs many improvements. Half the time I use the browser on my phone. I keep this app to use for when I am sorting my bulk purchases. That part if this app I love. It shouldn't take what feels like forever to load bookshelves. This app frequently closes on itself.
Features fine, constantly cannot load views Seems like it always has terrible loading views. Sometimes I can't move a book to a different shelf, sometimes I can't click on a similar book, sometimes I can't edit my review. Just opens blank screens when this happens and has a loading spinner that never ends.
