If you go into your profile on goodreads and the select the emails option, at 
the bottom of that setting is a section entitled newsletters and other mail 
which has an option to check which is send me emails about new features on 
goodreads.  I am hoping this is one way to find out about changes that are 
planned or have already been implemented on the goodreads site.  I am sure that 
many of you have noticed that the goodreads site is much more user friendly on 
a PC than with its app.  Michelle

Can I assume that you are talking about the update that was just released in
the last day? It's too bad. I might have a phone in my hand as early as
tomorrow morning and a Goodreads would certainly be one of the apps I would
have  wanted to access. I'm not big on anything that is going to require
more steps than necessary, especially since you say it worked great before.

Hey Kathy
Don't you think that it would have just been easier to leave things as they
were? Sometimes updates really mess of things. I've been using good reads
for a long time and I've done many updates. This has never happened before.
It looks like we're going through  a lot of extra gestures just to do
something that seems to be so simple. Anyways, I enjoy the app  so I guess
we'll justhve to put up with the unnecessary but relevant keystrokes for
now.

I also dislike the changes the Goodreads team has made to the currently reading 
shelf and in fact, I now only use the site to rate books that I have already 
finished reading. The currently reading option seems designed for maximum 
visual impact which is no longer of value to me.  I also wrote to them about 
this change and I would urge anyone who uses the sort and has difficulties with 
any of its options to email them.  They do respond to emails and forward 
concerns, but I too dislike this recent change.  Michellr

I did email the support team at goodreads and requested that they not

RE: Changes to Goodreads App

2014-09-25 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Michelle,

 

Developers have no say regarding automatic app updates, this is a setting you 
alone control. Apple started providing the ability to automatically update apps 
in iOS 7 and all you have to do if you prefer to update manually is to go to 
Settings, iTunes and App Store and underneath the “Automatic Downloads” heading 
turn off updates. You also can turn off automatic downloads for music, apps and 
books and once again it is your decision. If you have more than one iDevice or 
a Mac and an iPhone, music you purchase on one device is automatically 
downloaded to your other device if you leave automatic downloads for music on. 
The same applies to apps and books.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Michelle, in the iOS world, the only way to return to an earlier version of
an app once it's been updated is if you made a backup copy of the older
version of the app on your computer and then use iTunes to reinstall it.
Someone correct me if this is not accurate.

Re: Changes to Goodreads App

2014-09-25 Thread Joanne Chua
Reading the update screen for the update features might also help you decide 
either to update or not updating an app.
On Goodreads, it stated clearly that the new update will give you a progress 
bar for better control on your book progress.

I hope they will keep GR accessibl. I use Goodreads in a daily bases.

 Thank you, Sieghard, for that helpful explanation about automatic updates. I
 reset the settings on my Ipad so that automatic updates of my apps will not
 be permitted.   Even though I receive the Goodreads newsletter and other
 notifications, I was unaware that an update of this app was planned until it
 occurred and I contacted their support to find out how to return to the
 earlier version of the app.
