1. 4/5Hi, I hope the developers see this!

   I love the functionality of this app for myself, however I think it could use improvements in the social area and the aesthetic areas. It’s very clean and easy to read which is great, but the app could benefit from more “photogenic” layouts like letterboxd. People love sharing screenshots of their top movies or their recently watched movies paired with the movie posters, and it gets people to download the app. I would like to be able to share what I’m doing on StoryGraph in an aesthetically appealing way so that more of my friends want to get the app and join in on the fun 😃 updates to profiles so that they display more reading stats, favorites, to read piles etc. for other people would be excellent! Additionally, on the social side, it would be nice if the timeline to see what my friends are reading/adding to their to read pile/ratings/etc. was more easy to see. The updates are rather large. It can also be hard to find people, and I’m confused about the difference between following people and being friends with them? What are the differences between the two statuses? Anyways!! Love the app, great alternative for goodreads. All my critiques come from a place of love, I really hope the app continues to grow and improve and eventually becomes a more social platform for sharing and discussion because more people need to read!! And reading is fun when you get to share it 🫶🏼

2. 5/5Third year using, still my favorite app of all time

   Storygraph is hands down the best book nerd app. Of course the features are A+, like data tracking, challenge integration, and book scanning now too! I am so excited to keep watching this app grow. I really do recommend it to any bibliophile I find in the wild. I switched over from a big name book tracking site and have never looked back (my previous logs transferred perfectly too). I read over 200 books a year, so it gets heavy use from me and completely stands up to it. What really blows me away, though, is the thoughtfulness and dedication of the development team. Every feature decision is explained and clearly done in the most ethical way they can. Ratings are decentralized which de-incentivizes review bombing. The amount and type of social media type aspects are chosen with care, which makes Storygraph a breath of fresh air. There is a communal roadmap to communicate with users about development timelines and choices. I have emailed support even as a free user and received a thoughtful response from real person. The internet is a tough place and I am constantly buoyed by seeing how much grace the people at Storygraph handle it with. If you see this, thank you so much. Note: the app being down is not a typical experience. I have been using the app every single day for years and almost never see it down. Please don’t let those reviews dissuade you from using Storygraph!

3. 4/5Hope you read this! 🫣

   Great app. I’m still using Goodreads, but I had an idea that, first, I don’t know if it’s possible, and second, I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it to you before. As I read in one of the reviews, the company (which is excellent) is a “one-man show.” I think this could greatly improve the experience for us readers. One of the pros of Kindle is that, as you read, the progress is automatically updated in Goodreads. Additionally, you can rate with stars and leave your review directly from the Kindle without needing to use another device. I ultimately decided to leave the Kindle ecosystem because they try to keep you tied to them as much as possible, making the experience very limiting. So I recently switched to Kobo. It would be great if StoryGraph partnered with Kobo to allow their devices to connect directly with our StoryGraph account. This way, we could do the same from our eReader. I think it would be a win-win for both companies, as I like the Kobo ecosystem and its principles, and I also like StoryGraph. For now, both work separately, which is annoying. After reading for a while, having to look for my phone, which I sometimes don’t have on hand, to upload any updates or leave a review is inconvenient. I don’t know, just something that came to mind. Cheers.

4. 5/5Really want to like it, just too clunky

   As somebody that loves to support smaller businesses and not put my time and money into the billionaire class, I was excited to find a Goodreads alternative that aligned with my values more. That said, I really want to like this app, but it's very clunky to use in my opinion. The design just feels sharp and unwelcoming, I have issues finding many of the books I want to add, many times I have to press action buttons multiple times to trigger a response, the profile page leaves a lot to be desired in terms of feeling personal and homey, the inability to crop profile photos in the app makes the app feel like it's a beta version and not something that's been out for years, and the barcode scanner zooms way to far in to be comfortable or practical to use. I continue returning to StoryGraph to gauge its progress because I believe this app has so much potential and I want to see it become the dominate platform to track and discover books. Maybe the website works better and the team just doesn't have the resources to invest into the app right now, but as a primarily mobile user who heavily utilizes mobile apps when possible, I just find myself defaulting to Fable due to the poorer user experience and user interface of StoryGraph. Please don't take this review too personally, I think the app is wonderful for the size of the team behind it and I have faith it will only get better as time goes on. I just also believe that the best path towards progress in our projects is through receiving feedback. Keep iterating and improving the UI/UX and I know in time StoryGraph will be my primary book tracker.

5. 5/5Rapidly becoming my go-to book tracking platform!

   I’ve always been a reader. I started using another platform over a decade ago (pretty much the only one at the time!) but had been having reliability and usability issues with it for about a year when I discovered StoryGraph and decided to test it out. It has grown by leaps and bounds since then, has more features now than “other platforms”, and is a single feature away from becoming my primary choice in every way (and my understanding is that the last feature I rely on elsewhere is already in the works here!!). The customer service I receive from StoryGraph is light years better than other options. The communication from StoryGraph is commendable (especially when you consider they have only a tiny team of employees - small but mighty!). And downtime is honestly a minimum compared to other platforms - a little hiccup recently, during an unprecedented influx of new users when another platform was down, overwhelmed StoryGraph temporarily but it was communicated and fixed in a reasonable time, so if that was your first/only impression, know that it was the ONLY time I have experienced an outage in the 15 months I’ve been actively using it. I LOVE this platform more every new feature release. Give it a real opportunity to win you over as well!
