How to fix goodreads not working

goodreads is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Reload and restart

   Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.

2. Try another connection

   Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not goodreads.

3. Update the app

   Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.

While goodreads is down: what to use instead

• The StoryGraph Use it to log books and keep reading progress if you want a separate place to record what you finish while your shelves will not load.
• LibraryThing Catalog your books there if you need a searchable list and reviews are not the main thing you want to do.
• Open Library Look up a book's author, edition or subject information there when you only need details and the book page will not open.
• A notes app Jot down finished titles and ratings as you go, then add them to your shelves when the service works again.

Problems at the same time as goodreads

Since 27 October, all 2 of goodreads's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.
