Yup, author overlooked this one that I give five stars. Switched long ago and never looked back.

#7WeRead (微信读书) by Tencent is the best reading app. I immediately turn to WeRead even if I have tons of reading history in Goodreads about 3-year ago.
They introduce social aspects in the book you are reading, and you can see how other comments on the sentence you read.
They also provide the insights on what book you reads, how much time you spent on this book, etc.

Not sure what you are reading, but I'm not sure I want Tencent to be reviewing my reading habits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent#Censorship
Edit: To be fair, I also don't want Goodreads to be doing that either.

Goodreads has a one-button link to the Amazon listing, where I can read the first twenty-some pages. That's a "competitive moat", and it's a mile wide.

#10I remember using Librarything some fifteen years back before switching to Goodreads. I wonder if anyone still uses it.
