Description: Tap into the world's largest social network for readers with the Goodreads iPhone app! No other app combines the power and depth of the Goodreads community with an enormous catalog of books and book reviews.

Read reviews of other members and friends, keep a virtual bookshelf of what you've read, use our NEW barcode scanner, and build your to-read list as you discover great books either on the app or out and about in the world.

Goodreads is a free website for everyone who reads. We have more than 3,800,000 members who have added more than 100,000,000 books to their shelves. Our mission is to help you find new and interesting books by showing you what your friends are reading. Browsing Goodreads is like wandering through the world's largest library. Find thousands of book reviews and peruse the bookshelves of friends and other readers. Post your own reviews and keep track of what you have read and want to read.

Read ebooks!
Now you can read books on your iPhone using the Goodreads Reader, a built-in e-reader that you access directly from the app! We have more than 2,000 public domain books available now, and our ebook library is growing every day.

Barcode Scanner!
Scan your own books and add them to Goodreads, or quickly check out reviews if you are in a bookstore. Please note: to use the barcode scanner you need to have a device with a camera, and you need iOS 4.0 and above installed on your device.
