Title: Does anybody know why I can't see Goodreads reviews?
Post by: LilyBLily on January 05, 2020, 10:38:18 AM

This is weird. I'm signed into Goodreads as my author self, and my book shows it has several ratings and reviews. But when I click on either the ratings or the reviews, I get a pitch to write a review, and I can't see the reviews already posted.

Any ideas?

If they're new reviews/ratings, they make take days to appear below the book's product page even though they show next to the book's details at the top.

That's weird, but what Shoe said - particularly reviews can take a little while to show up. I've just been on my Goodreads Author Dashboard and I can see reviews, etc, absolutely fine.

One thing to check - are you on your phone or laptop? I find my phone can be very glitchy and temperamental in what it shows me, but laptop is usually fine.
