User reviews

So well designed and looking forward to more updates

As an artist myself, I appreciate the attention and care put into to the UI of this app, I find it super modern, fun, and clean. Easily beats out Goodreads and StoryGraph for me from a design perspective. You can import your data from both apps as well. There’s so many filtering options for when searching books whether in your own collection or across the app, and you can customize your own dashboard. I love the streak view. The only thing this needs is a bigger community. I’m excited for the planned discussions area, which will really make this app feel alive. Unlike the other two big reading tracking apps, I really have nothing negative to say about this platform so far. Aside from market yourselves more!! This deserves attention!

Almost perfect

I really love Hardcover and I find the app is far easier to navigate than the website on iPhone. Only thing missing is widgets.

So much potential

This app has so much potential to be loved by readers such as myself as an alternative to Goodreads. I want to love it, and will absolutely continue to stick it out but am begging you guys to please sort out the bugs before adding new features. The app should not crash every time I try to write a review. That being said, I want to love it and am excited to see how it hopefully continues to develop into a Letterboxd-esque tracking/social platform.

Poor navigation

Way to many options in not obvious areas. It should take me 5-10 seconds to add everything but most options are hidden behind multiple click paths which slows down the process and the profile icon is located in the top right instead of bottom right making it a bizarre placement to have to find. Disappointed.

Really good

Soo much nicer to use than Goodreads. I love that you can choose which specific edition of a book you’re reading. The app is nicer too — Goodreads always takes multiple seconds to load each page, Hardcover is much smoother.
