slight glitch

i love this app ! however , my only issue is that sometimes my stats are incorrect. it changes my format of reading quite frequently and misplaces my print v. digital reads. otherwise great app

4.5

Storygraph, my faithful friend please don’t ever leave me.
I have looked at and toyed with multiple reading trackers and I have no idea why anyone uses any other than you.
The only problem others might have with storygraph is that there is no community like goodreads and fable in that, they can post comments and pictures and others can like and comment where as with storygraph you can only like that someone read and rated it. I don’t really care as much for this because people tend to get mean just because they don’t agree with someone else’s reviews and or ratings, I don’t need that drama lol.
The only other issue I have is that multiple user added editions may have wrong or incomplete information.
Guys seriously, this one has charts and graphs that are FREE, unlike fable (here are all of the graphs you get to see for FREE: mood, pace, page number, fiction/nonfiction, genres, tags, format, most read authors, languages, number of books and pages and Star ratings!!!)
They also have giveaways just like goodreads
Not only can you set a book reading goal you can set a pages goal and an hours goal
You can do buddy reads and read along’s as well as create or be a part of a book club.
Just like goodreads, you can create your own tags, just like goodreads it will tell you the total of books you’ve ever read, as well as the total of books you have read this year and at the end of the year it will show every book you read and dnf’d (at least they did the dnf’s last year, hopefully again every year) and it will show the ratings you gave it.
Just like fable you can add content warnings, the pace the book felt to you, you can choose to answer some of these questions like: are the characters lovable? You can answer: Yes. No. It’s complicated. was the cast of characters diverse?, was there strong character development?, was the book mainly plot or character driven or a mix?
Ditch goodreads, ditch fable or any other book tracking app and just use this one! Hey maybe if more people join, storygraph will add the community posts like goodreads and fable has ;)

Profoundly frustrating

I want to love this app but the UI is god awful. I put in a book and it automatically says I’ve finished it. It supposedly keeps track of pages read but doesn’t. So poorly designed.

Confusing interface

I downloaded this and found the interface confusing. I simply want to keep track of how much I read each day and it really doesn’t do that. For example, you need to add the page began at and the page you ended rather than accumulative total. I accidentally added that I had reread it. And when I deleted that, it deleted all my extensive notes. Stay away from this app. It’s a mess.

Update: appreciate the developer reaching out to me and understands the UI concerns. I hope these are changed because I think this app has great potential.

Favourite book tracker

This is by far my favourite book tracker - already love what you guys do, and super excited to see where this app goes.

One thing - am super keen to be supporting a non-Amazon owned app, but I don’t personally see the value in paying for the premium subscription. If it keeps you guys running, I honestly wouldn’t mind ads here and there.

It’s not GoodReads

The search algorithm and app have been improved. Plus you’re not supporting an exploitative monopoly.

My Reading Brain Lives Here Now

StoryGraph genuinely changed how I read. Migrating years of Goodreads history was a certified ✨journey✨, but getting my reading life out of Amazon’s ecosystem felt delicious.

The tracking is where StoryGraph absolutely eats. Reading streaks turn my book habit into a tiny dopamine machine, while the stats, charts, moods, pace data, challenges, and progress tracking actually tell me something about how I read instead of merely cataloging what I finished. Following readers with similar tastes is also dangerous in the best way—I routinely burgle their shelves for my already-unmanageable TBR.

My biggest remaining weakness is discovery. When I want curated lists, rabbit holes, or that glorious feeling of stumbling across something unexpected, I still find myself opening Goodreads. StoryGraph’s recommendations are smart, but browsing doesn’t feel quite as rich yet.

As an actual reading tracker, though? StoryGraph has become indispensable.

Content Warnings feature is the best!

I love this app! It is so easy to find out whether a book contains content I may be sensitive to. I use to spend so much time searching for content warnings before starting a book. I would have to do multiple internet searches and search reviews in hopes someone else put warnings in. This app makes the process simple and convenient, I know within a minute of searching for a book if it is a good fit for me. As a result I have been able to branch out to other genres I love without spending a ton of time researching.

Useless

Useless junk! You can’t import any of your Goodreads books.

Seems great

It seems great so far, I wish it was easier to import my data from Fable. I’d love to use both as they both offer different things but to manually input everything takes time

Fantastic app

intuitive and fun to use

Very disappointed

I was using this app to compare tracking my reading to other apps. Life happened and I needed to get a new phone, and when I downloaded the app and logged in all of my data was gone. I am very disappointed as before that I was thoroughly enjoying the app.

Continual greatness

I’ve been a user for a few years now and I love it immensely. The layout and graphics are visually appealing, the groups and bookclub features are easy to navigate, the specific rating capabilities are great.

Not only do I adore the app as it is, Nadia provides incredible transparency about bugs, updates, and planned developments.

Excited to see how StoryGraph continues to improve!

Better than GR but…

Definitely better than good reads, but man is this app really buggy at times. Sometimes I can’t even get the app to load. I’ll force close it and then restart it 2 or 3 times before it seems to even load the home page. And on days when it’s like this good luck navigating to your lists. I’m really thankful it exists and definitely recommend it, just know what to expect.

Love the app, with one note

Love this app. I switched from Goodreads because of its association with Amazon, but also because it’s user face was cluttered and seemed to demand and encourage mass consumerism. I did not feel a need to keep it for any social aspect, so I switched to StoryGraph, and I’ve loved it. It’s simplified, streamlined, and does everything I want a book tracker to do. The only note and recommendation is to improve the mobile application’s connection to cellular service. Unfortunately, I can only use the app when I am connected to wifi, and usually only my home wifi. If this was fixed, it would be a perfect app.

Intuitive, Excellent Stats & Easy to Use

I’ve been using StoryGraph consistently for a few years now. It is such a great app and has so many stats that I really enjoy reviewing regarding my reading. Additionally, there aren’t constant updates which I appreciate, and the updates we do get are thoughtful and do improve interface. I highly recommend the app

Better than GR

if you want to get off GR, this is my recommendation. it’s so much better for book tracking (though it has less of a social aspect). it’s also good if you want to avoid toxicity in the book community, as the social function is very minimal. great app!

It’s good but the UI is so clunky sometimes

- After leaving a review, pressing the back button takes me back to the review edit page
- constantly having to double tap on buttons for them to work and changes to take effect
- follow button doesn’t immediately change to following, have to refresh page for it to show
- actually…i have to refresh pages a lot while using this app

I still like it though! Do wish there was more of a community and it was easier to find friends within the app, but yeah my main problem with the app is that navigating it is such a clunky, glitchy, slow, experience.

Great app

Only discovered this app recently when it started to sync my Kobo Libra Colour’s reading progress (however, it doesn’t sync side loaded books so I hope that this feature will be added soon 🤞🏻). The free version of the app is very well featured and although it’s not the most modern looking interface it’s perfectly functional. Overall highly recommended and definitely worth 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reading streak deleted

I love this app! I was going to write a 5 star review for it, however, yesterday my 200 day reading streak was deleted and replaced with a 120 day one for no reason. I found it incredibly annoying and frustrating to work that hard for something and have it represented only for it just to be deleted. I do get that it’s also not that big of a deal which is why this app is still 3 stars.
