Love the app, however…
The app is very good. It is probably one of the best looking apps I have ever seen and has all the functionality of a book tracking app however I do have a complaint and I would love to see it get fixed. First is the app keeps redirecting me to the website which is pretty annoying and when I go back it’s a blank screen and I have to refresh the app.

Can’t Create an Account
I tried on the iphone app and on the mobile website, and in both occasions clicking the ‘join hardcover’ button did nothing. I typed and confirmed a passeo, also made sure to click the tos checkbox.
update1: was able to create account, but can’t set it up. Increased 1 star to 2.

Goodreads Killer
Hardcover is a fantastic bookish app that brings together everything a reader needs—reviews, tracking your book lists, interacting with other book lovers, and comparing reading metrics. However, there’s still room for improvement. It would be great if they added trope and spice level tags to books, which are becoming essential for many readers. Also, the streak tracking gauge could use an upgrade—the current design resembles the GitLab contribution map and isn’t the most user-friendly if you’re not a developer. Lastly, their server response could be improved, as the app tends to crash and sometimes takes a while to load lists. Despite these small issues, it’s still a solid app for organizing and tracking your reading life.
