Good
I wish there was a “save for later” section. For books you put down and the pick back up later. But other than that, I love this app.

I wish there was a “save for later” section. For books you put down and the pick back up later. But other than that, I love this app.
If it’s an app that I download (rather than a site that I visit) I want to log in once: when I first download the app. Not weekly. So annoying. This is the main reason I haven’t deleted Goodreads. The stats are the greatest feature tbh.
Some things I would love to see: - A spot on the top of my profile that showcases my top 5 reads of all time. - The ability to make lists/ folders. - A quicker view of overall rating when browsing, rather than having to click on the title. - I find the interface all a bit BIG.. text size, etc. Would love to see it slimmed down to look a bit more sophisticated and sleek. Basically… Letterboxd but for books.
Big fan of this app but I do wish I could add more than 5 genres for recommendations. I read a wide variety of books and I would like recommendations for all of them. I find my self having to edit the genres often to get more recommendations. A charts feature too would be a neat thing to have, something like Letterboxd or rate your music where you can see what users rate the highest and see what people are currently consuming
I use Storygraph as my only book tracker — their stats feature is excellent, love all the charts and graphs. BUT i still use Goodreads for their reviews because I like being able to filter by star ratings and keywords. GR’s pagination of reviews is also more practical than SG’s endless scrolling (i always lose my place!). It’s also easier to go through a person’s shelves on GR because of, once again, the pagination.
The thing I like most about StoryGraph is that it doesn’t incentivize the toxic reading competition I have seen on other related apps. When I check my friends stats I am more interested in learning about their interests and how their mood affects their reading, and that’s true for my own stats too. Moreover it challenges me to get out of my comfort zone and read books related to the many challenges proposed on the app, expanding my understanding of the world.
I’ve been using the Storygraph for several years now and it is by far and away my favourite book app. I use it to learn about my reading habits, keep track of my books, make recommendations to friends, and do buddy reads. I have a long enough TBR already, but I hear their recommendations are excellent, and I often use the robust filtering system to find what I want to read next in my pile. I’ve also been following Nadia, the CEO, and the progress she and the (very small) dev team make via the newsletter, and it’s been a delight seeing the app grow. The team takes user feedback seriously and is constantly making improvements. Highly recommend!
I enjoy this app so much - it’s a better fit for me than goodreads. It’s easy to use and when I encountered an issue their team responded to my email super fast. And if you find an incorrect book entry in their library, there is a form to submit and their team fixes it fast.
It’s a great way to track your reading, and has much better usability and features than similar apps/sites. The stats features and the yearly wrap-up are some of my personal favourites, but the way they do recommendations is also great!
I’ve been using this app (and the preceding website) for more than a year. It’s a terrific fit for how I like to record my reading and find new books. Unlike its Amazon-owned main competitor, StoryGraph makes sure I see the content of the book and its pluses and minuses before I get to a contextless star rating. If I want that, I can jump to it easily—but I really like getting the nuance first! In particular, I have found that certain categories of books that I adore (books with queer themes, BIPOC stories, books about women) often receive lower star ratings than their whiter, straighter, male comparators. Even though I know to account for that, the StoryGraph’s nuance-first setup helps ensure I don’t lose out on trying a great book because of those factors. Plus, you can do half and quarter stars in your own ratings!
