The goal

Even after years of acquisition by Amazon, Goodreads hasn’t seen any changes or revamp in their app, the Play Store and App Store reviews are abysmal, to say the least. You want to start revamping the entire look and feel of the platform, and in the first phase want to focus on building a social community for readers across the globe, by launching new features on the current app.

Make sure that you work on proper feature enhancements or new feature suggestions rather than UI improvement, like changes in CTA, etc. which will not be considered for evaluating the submission.
