Where Does the Goodreads App Store Data?
Goodreads keeps shelves and reading progress in private storage on Android and iOS under one ID. Local state reflects the account.
Last updated
Book network Goodreads runs one short package on Android with a matching iOS bundle. Private storage holds login session plus shelf cache. Cover images dominate disk use on big libraries, and the cache has no manual prune control.
Shelves, ratings and reading progress live server side. Manage cover cache through system settings rather than folder poking. Fresh login restores everything after reinstall. Annual reading challenge counts recompute from servers, so a wiped phone never loses progress.
