Trouble Importing CSV #25

Closed jianninetorres closed 5 years ago

jianninetorres commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I just downloaded the app and I'm having trouble importing my Goodreads library. It says the provided CSV file was missing required columns. Not sure how to proceed.

App Version: 1.10.1 iOS Version: 12.1.4 Device: iPhone 6

Hi there,

The app doesn't accept CSVs straight from Goodreads - it accepts a file with its own specific set of columns. The easiest way to see the format required is to run the Export function, and examine that file (if you have no books you'll still get the header row). You might need to manipulate the Goodreads format a bit to get it into the format accepted by Reading List.

It would be a good feature to be able to import straight from the Goodreads export; it will require some investigation though.

Hope that helps, Andrew
