Goodreads Developers discussion

I have noticed that, in the Android App, there is no area/section or even the ability/option to add literary quotes and/or quotes from books. When on GoodReads via the browser, there is an actual Quotes area as well as "quotes" pertaining to a book on the books actual page (with option to add your own). I see neither feature - quotes by authors/literary artists or book-specific quotes - anywhere on the Android app. It would be nice to have it/them available.

Thank you.

The app is nothing but displaying the web version. Quite a rudimentary implementation.

If that is/was the case, then all features available and accessible on the browser version would be available and accessible in the app, and clearly that isn't the case. For example, when in the browser, when you go to the "Community" tab along the top, in the drop down menu, it has - among other areas - an actual section called "Quotes". In the app, no such area - directly or indirectly - exists (or, at the very least, shows to be available and accessible). Under that same "Community" tab, you can find the area for "Groups", which *can* be found on the app with a direct access (not via a drop down menu or indirectly via other means), albeit with a little different formatting. Additionally, when you are on the page for a specific book - on the browser - along the right side, under the area that has the info on the author, there is an area that shows quotes specific to that book, with the option to add quotes if one wishes. On the app, when you are on the page that is for an individual book, you can scroll all the way to the end/bottom, and no such area for quotes (or to add them that are specific to that book), exists - or, at the very least, shows to be available and/or accessible. (Interesting to note: another area not available/accessible on the app is Listopia, which seems to be quite popular among many GoodReads users.)

To clarify, this is for the *Android* app (via Google Play), updated to the most recent version. The iOS version may be quite different - I don't know.
