  1. 4/5Goodreads Killer

    Hardcover is a fantastic bookish app that brings together everything a reader needs—reviews, tracking your book lists, interacting with other book lovers, and comparing reading metrics. However, there’s still room for improvement. It would be great if they added trope and spice level tags to books, which are becoming essential for many readers. Also, the streak tracking gauge could use an upgrade—the current design resembles the GitLab contribution map and isn’t the most user-friendly if you’re not a developer. Lastly, their server response could be improved, as the app tends to crash and sometimes takes a while to load lists. Despite these small issues, it’s still a solid app for organizing and tracking your reading life.

  2. 4/5Love the app, however…

    The app is very good. It is probably one of the best looking apps I have ever seen and has all the functionality of a book tracking app however I do have a complaint and I would love to see it get fixed. First is the app keeps redirecting me to the website which is pretty annoying and when I go back it’s a blank screen and I have to refresh the app.

  3. 3/5Incredibly slow

    I want to love it but it is very slow to load, which has discouraged me from using it. I want to spend as little time as possible on my phone and digging around in my apps, especially if all I’m trying to do is log my reading, and sadly the loading time for Hardcover makes it unusable for me. Unsure if it’s specific to my phone model or iOS version, but every other app I’ve tried using recently has been quite snappy, so it’s hard to say.

  4. 4/5Cool but team needs to do some reconsidering

    I hope the team takes the feedback here into serious account!! This app could rival Fable and StoryGraph BUT it runs a little slow, and the stats need some work (even simple things like show average rating number!) - no one cares about pages read in a day. Also, the app should reconsider which features come with the supporter subscription. This app would take off if more features came with the free version. I get that it’s new, but why would someone pay for features they can get on Storygraph for free? You can’t even see all of your read genres without paying. That’s super lame.

  5. 3/5I want to like it

    I want to like this app so much. Visually it’s great. Using it is unfortunately frustrating. My reading goal won’t update when I add my finished books, and any books that aren’t under the sci-fi fantasy umbrella don’t have descriptions or cover art. I think it has the potential to be great but at the moment it’s not.
