Website and app Analysis

I decided to analyse the Goodreads Website and app to really pinpoint the positives and negatives.
Website Positives
Looking at the website there is some good aspects such as

  • The ability to put in the page number you are in the book and it tells you your %
  • Browse by tag
  • They have book awards every year
  • You can set yourself a reading challenge
  • you can create and do quizzes

Website Negatives 

  • The layout is cluttered and busy which takes away from the information you want to read.
  • The groups aren't very visually appealing or well organised which makes them less successful
  • The Profile page is basic and includes no personality
  • It is hard to make friends and interact
  • There is only a limited amount of bookshelves, you can't add new
  • If you are looking at reviews they don't hide spoilers so you may accidentally read them


App Positives
  • Navigation bar can help you find things slightly faster
  • Less cluttered (due to no adverts and better organisation)
  • Scan barcodes of books.
App Negatives
  • Not enough sub genres
  • boring profile page
  • Hard to interact with others.
