Ive been an avid user of goodreads but as any other person has said, it hasn't been updated in a while. Margins does a lot better in terms of UI and tracking books at the same time. I do hope that your tram is able to implement better section for book recommendations as I feel that the "search by vibe" is lacking. It is a cool idea though! I personally would love a daily recommendation based on my shelf and another way to see the most popular books from different genres. Trending books too!
Convenient and pretty
maliaahh
The app is easy to use and so pretty u can even change the book cover to the other choices that they provide which is like a whole list. Super happy with this app<3
Unresolved Book Issues

Love the UI of the app! But its lacking in the books department, even after 3 months i still have over 60 book issues, only 4 have been resolved. Dmed them on ig about it but was left hanging. Will be going to storygraph because it seems they have all of my books on there for easy tracking

It’a a really neat and cute app. Love the calendar view for the books read each day. The UI is also very easy and intuitive to use.
