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.
Hardcover is amazing
Favourite book tracking up. Nice interface, design and loads of features. Good functionality. Miles ahead of good reads
Buggy but usable
Love having a good reads alternative but 1/10 times I'm going to come across a bug.
Either the site is down or some strange UI bug occurs. I know the development team will work out it out but need to call out the issues so they can be fixed.

Nice idea but way too slow in use
Nice idea but really slow in use. It’s infuriatingly slow. Delays while doing basically anything. I just want a slick way to track books I read and might like and to easily add all books in a series or author. Can’t be that difficult
It’s okay
I find myself frustrated every time I use this app because I have been logged out and it doesn’t remember my login information. Fix this please!
It’s also a little clunky with respect to adding a new read. Sometimes it adds multiple reads if I say I’m currently reading something and try to adjust the dates or type of book.
As others have noted it’s also slow to load at times when I just want to log in a quick update to my reading status.

An Avid Reader’s Necessity
So glad I found this app! Pairs extremely well with StoryGraph, and even has a few features that are better. Will definitely be becoming a member ASAP.
Really good!
Better than everything else out there. Props to the developers 👍
Great Book Tracker
Love this app so far. I always found Goodreads to be hard for me to stick with for some odd reason, but this one feels much more smooth and addictive to me.
Amazing website
Love it. Better than good reads and most other trackers.
Just what I was looking for
This app deserves way more attention
How is this not the most popular book tracking app!?
Great features, looks nice, just a good amount of social features but without feeling too much like a social platform. Like that it tracks audiobook listens and pages individually.
A Modern Feeling, Functional Reading App
This app feels like it was designed by real readers, for real readers. Easy to navigate, intuitive and pleasant interface, features that actually add to the experience of reading. Highly recommended.
Has huge potential but not there yet
I love storygraph and I still think it's the best as I only read ebooks and audiobooks. Hardcover however is looking like a strong contender and I do like where the devs seem to be going. My only thing as a non physical book reader it has kinks where my library transfered over with many of them as physical books and it just seems the books in my library still seem to be treated as physical books instead of ebooks or audiobooks. Also when creating my profile I kept getting 500 error code.

pretty buggy…
i love the concept and the execution, it’s just the lack of responsiveness and constant redirection of what i click on that bothers me, adding books from search is a tedious chore that constantly makes me hit the wrong button because the screen keeps moving! many aspects of the app feel unresponsive or slow to function, which makes it hard to work with this effectively

Love this website
Best alternative to Goodreads I’ve ever found- literally tried so many others and this was by far my favorite. The stats, the UI, the look of it 10/10. Only annoying thing was when it exported my Goodreads it put an end date to my read books but not a start date so I had to do it manually on 80 books for 2025 but that’s a small price to pay imo

2025 wrapped
Get rid of the bs 2025 wrapped at the top of the app. I don't want it and newsflash, I already know what I read.
