Too buggy
StoryGraph I truly want to love you but you’re making it difficult. For the past couple of weeks the loading time has taken ages and today it hasn’t loaded at all. I just want to log my reading and feel accomplished marking a book as finished. Help a girl out and fix the problems! Please!
App and Website broken?
I absolutely love this app it’s by far my favourite so far! However, the past two weeks it has been absolutely useless to me. Everytime I try to load the app all I can see is extremely zoomed in icons and blue text links. I have tried forcibly restarting the app, un-installing it etc. and nothing has worked. I was able to access it somepoint last week so I thought it had been fixed but it is now back at square one. I’ve seen some other people on Reddit sharing the same problem which is such a shame because this app really is amazing! Hopefully this is fixed soon.

1000x better than Goodreads
Can you please add custom lists?
Cool Concept
It’s a cool concept and I got excited when I could export my Goodreads information… but that’s where it got muddy. It didn’t import my stuff correctly. It imported some of my books as Dutch language or non print books. The whole reason I wanted to check the app out was for the cool graphics and they’re not correct. I don’t feel like adjusting everything myself so I decided just to stick with Goodreads (they’re free) I understand that’s how you make your money to further develop but it’s honestly so annoying this day and age. I want to be able to enjoy stuff without having to pay for it to work better.. Plus the current AI implements just make not want to return to the app at all.

Kobo Integration is a game changer
I have to give StoryGraph and Kobo their flowers for this recent integration. And I have a little story on this technology actually being intuitive!!! I bought an ebook version of a classic novel on Kobo for cheap from a very small publisher. When I opened it, the wrong edition, from a bigger publisher, ‘synced’ to my StoryGraph instead of the one I bought, with the covers not even matching. I removed the book on StoryGraph, manually added the edition I bought after realizing it wasn’t in the StoryGraph database, and manually updated my progress on the new edition (just like I would do for print/audiobook). I originally was slightly bummed at the lack of automatic syncing but kept reading. When I opened StoryGraph back up, THE NEW EDITION I MADE HAD SYNCED. Kobo/StoryGraph somehow realized I was reading the new edition on the Kobo and corrected itself with the new entry into the database, even after I deleted the wrong ‘book’! So extremely cool, and it made my day. You guys really deserve your flowers for the programming on that one!

I second the Syncing with Libby
I love this app. Seeing all the different stats together, even in just the free version, is so awesome. And I love that you can do .25 and .75 in your reviews, instead of just whole and half-stars. And the Kobo-syncing addition? Amazing! I don’t know what it would take to also have that functionality with Libby, but that would push this app even higher. Also, for those of us that aren’t big fans of the 1-5 star system, it would be really cool if a 1-10/10 system were available.

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.
