This app is extremely janky and poorly optimized. I've had tons of crashes and errors. It also leaves a lot to be desired in terms of available features. There are a lot of things that can only be done on the actual website, for example changing your edtion of a book. More than anything, though, it's the crashes that are driving me crazy. Makes it hard to get anything done.

For such a widely-used app, I cannot understand why such little attention has been put towards improving user experience. It's ROUGH -- hard to navigate, unreliable/buggy, and could be made really simple and elegant for the types of interactions you take on the app, but instead is dated/unintuitive. It sucks since this is definitely the most popular so nearly everyone uses it, but I'll be exploring a new option this year since other growing apps are definitely focusing on experience.

As others note, this app is full of bugs. Most notable to me is setting one's birthday. Tapping the left arrow for minutes on end to arrive at the correct year is absolutely ludicrous. Surely, in the big wide world of app developers' tool kits, there is a plug in that allows easy entry of month-day-year. So many sites include such an easy to use function. Please get your act together.
