I have developed a new Goodreads app for windows phone 8 called "Epiphany". You can get it here. http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/sto... . Please try it out and rate/like it on facebook. I have kept it really simple and intuitive. One of the main things I have focussed on is adhering to the windows phone design guidelines, hence you will find the app to have a very familiar and polished UI. It has many features, but its just v1.0. So I promise to keep the features coming at regular intervals.

Very cool, we seriously need to buy a windows phone to check out all of these cool apps.
Viswanath, the app looks really clean and useful. Unfortunately, I can only judge that from screenshots, because my phone doesn't support the higher 720p resolutions! (I have an HTC 8S, 800x480 if I remember correctly). Is there any chance of making a version that is scaled down or uses smaller assets so I can finally have a goodreads client?
Please make it compatible for lower end windows phones. I've been looking for a goodreads app for a long time and now that there is finally one, I still can't use it. :(
Been using it for quite a while and really like it!
I have a Lumia 625 and it works fine.I love above all the wishlist, it will be useful when I go to the library or a bookshop!
When I open a book that is in my wishlist I see only the reviews of my friends. Is this right or should I see all the reviews of the community?
Only one thing: when I move right to see "my profile", "friends" and so on, it would be better if all these icons would be vertical and not horizontal because I'm not able to see them all, I must move again to the right. Also, I see on the left a piece of white of the notification page and when I move right I see on the right again the white line of the notifications.
I have tried to enter the groups but I don't think I will use it from the app. First, because I don't see if there are new comments in a discussion. Second, because I entered a discussion and the last comment is of 24511 months ago!
Epiphany's new update is great :) My only two complaints are1. Groups....in Groups that have threads that have MANY MANY pages in them, it is currently impossible to actually see all the posts in long threads. In one group i am in, i think the page is like 70 pages or so but i can't see the most recent posts since Epiphany doesn't allow it.
Which makes it slightly annoying when you get a notification and click it but it can't take you to the post.
2. In reviews, the Html/code shows(Such as Formatting codes for bolding or italicizing text or underlinking) in the review itself which makes it slightly hard to read the reviews through the app.
I had been using Social Reads(which does actually handle my 1st complaint very well) but Epiphany's new update has made it the premier goodreads app for WP :) I hope to see the first issue fixed<3
