My beloved
One of the nonnegotiable subscriptions in my life, next to the water and electricity bill.
Love supporting an independent developer; love taking some of my reading data away from the Amazon ecosystem; love that user suggestions are taken seriously and implemented. Can’t get better reading data anyway but your own spreadsheet which I’m not making.
My favorite thing about storygraph is how antithetical storygraph reviews are compared to good reads reviews. GR reviews feel like everyone wants to be a stand up comic on a social media website, with their stupid gifs and tumblr speak. Storygraph reviews feel more like genuine reviews of a book.
I don’t use Kobo. I don’t feel that not using it has impacted my storygraph use at all. I don’t feel like Nadia has sold out to Kobo or is pressuring users to switch from kindle to kobo. Just seems like a convenient addition for people using kobo that doesn’t affect the rest of us.

Rubbish
Not intuitive at all. I presume I did something wrong but I entered two books as ‘read’ and one as ‘reading’, but upon checking it had worked there was nothing registered - no books read, none reading. Anything that hard isn’t worth bothering with. Very annoying.
Great app with good recommendation and filtering features
Has a pretty great recommendation feature with a lot of inputs to narrow down the options. You can import your Goodreads library which is useful. The main thing I think could be better is the sort by option function. Currently it doesn’t have many options (pages, pub date and popular this week) and having popular this month/year/x years etc would be great so would sorting by highest rating, most favourited etc. Also theres an option to ‘only show books…’ (it gives options to choose from). Currently it has ‘not in my To-Read pile’ it would be great if we could also have ‘not in my Read pile’. But yeah great app with lots of filter options and a good book recommendation feature.

Just a bit glitchy
I’ve been using StoryGraph for about a year and really enjoy the features (reading challenges, stats, half stars, etc). I am enjoying my experience but have two gripes: I’m having a hard time finding recommendations for new reads based on my activity, and the app seems a bit glitchy. I mostly notice it not saving my progress tracking when I update it. If those worked better I’d be super happy!

Designed for Readers
I love the functionality and added features. The charts and graphs showcasing monthly and yearly trends are to die for (as a data visualization girlie). The buddy read feature is also top notch! Love that the app has personality and feels modern and designed for readers
