I was not pleased to go to the Goodreads app yesterday and discover that this company automatically updated my app. One of the updates they made is quite a nuisance to my eyes. They changed the Currently Reading section of My Books from text to a visual image of the book cover with a progress bar. I was unable to figure out how to delete these currently reading titles from the app so I went to my pc and deleted both my currently reading titles and my to be read titles. Interestingly, the currently reading titles still remain on my app while they have been elimatinated on my pc. The to be read titles were eliminated in both the app and on the pc. The section called "read" consisting of books that I have completed appears to be unchanged.
I did email the support team at goodreads and requested that they not automatically update all the apps and that they offer an opt out. I explained the effects of this automatic update to persons like myself with limited vision and expressed disappointment that they did not appear to be aware or interested in this segment of the reading population.
