slight glitch
4.5
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
Confusing interface
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
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
My Reading Brain Lives Here Now
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!
Useless
Seems great
Fantastic app
Very disappointed
Continual greatness
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…
Love the app, with one note
Intuitive, Excellent Stats & Easy to Use
Better than GR
It’s good but the UI is so clunky sometimes
- 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.
