Hi Nadia ! I love TSG and won't ever leave it. But the most painful "bug" I suffer is the ISBN import failing to find a match. I can live with it, either by adding the book manually or choosing a slightly different edition of the book, but this issue is the number 1 reason why all the people I try to bring to TSG go back to GR after a while. They can't find their books! specially non-English books. And not everyone is willing to spend time adding them manually. This makes me very sad because you're building a great app and would love everyone to use it :)

Also, now it takes several days to receive the "We were unable to import your book" notification, so lately I oftentimes find myself adding the book manually before even getting the notification.

I will leave here some of the latest ISBNs I tried and failed:

9788417559724
9788419965646
9789177916789
9788439741701
9788419456076

I know it's just you and you have big plans for TSG, but I hope this can find a way into your roadmap soon 💕

tebs Thank you for the note. It'll be improved eventually but it's not our biggest customer pain point at the moment!
