This is a really helpful app to keep track of my read books, TBR and books that I'm currently reading. I enjoy looking back through the stats and monthly and yearly wrap-up graphics. I love that it doesn't have much of a social media aspect, so I can read and review books as I want, instead of trying to gain likes or comments. I was going through a huge reading block when this app pulled me out of it.
Reviews for StoryGraph
I love The StoryGraph! It's the best way to track what I'm reading, find reviews from other people, discover new books I'm interested in, see what my friends are reading, and get statistics on my reading habits. I love the challenges, tags, graphs, everything about it. And they're constantly adding to and improving the app based on user feedback! I've been using it daily for five years and I couldn't recommend The StoryGraph enough.
Man, I want to fully ditch G**dreads and use Storygraph exclusively but I can't quite bring myself to do it. Not yet. The app is nice but the lag time when opening or loading content when searching/refreshing is brutal... up to 3 or 4 seconds sometimes of just a white screen. I also wish there were options for a social feed similar to GR as I have found good recs from friends' reading and just generally like keeping up with that stuff. I truly dislike Amazon but can't commit to fully ditch yet.
I love the app when I can get on there, but I just recently had to change devices. I forgot the password and did a reset, but it keeps saying either the email or password is wrong. It would help when you typed in your new password if there was an option to see what you're typing in case you hit the wrong button without realizing it.
I love it! it can freeze at times if you click too many things at once (e.g., going back and forth between reading challenge and home page), but just waiting 2 seconds as the app does it thing doesn't take away from the overall experience. one quality of life function that would be cool to see in the future is being able to link Storygraph with Libby so then my progress is automatically updated or lists synced. just imagining the coding, however, I have no issues if this never comes around.
This is a very nice app and I will continue to log finished books to support them over Goodreads. I stopped logging daily when I discovered the edition of the book I was reading did not have the correct page numbers and was going to be "finished" before I was done with the actual book. there is no easy way to change editions or all my past logs, so I gave up. I do wish the graphics were a little nicer and the app was a little easier to navigate. can't wait to see where you go with it though.
Looks like they may have finally fixed the lag. Gonna give it a few weeks, but maybe I can finally delete Goodreads. In the meantime upping my rating to 5 stars. I like most things about the app. Stats are really nice. Biggest issue with is was lag/slowness. If that's fixed the only problem is no one I know it's on there. Maybe now I can convince them to switch.
I'm a really loyal and enthusiastic advocate for this app, but I'm really considering not using it anymore. For the last year or so it just does not work. Crashes mid-entry, so you have to force quit and redo everything, it hasn't loaded the homepage for me in probably 8 months, it just does not work anymore. I'm so sad because I literally tell everyone to download this app, but unless stuff starts getting fixed, it's just not worth the inconvenience factor anymore. Used to be so good 😥
I love this app, I love being able to keep track of what I read and I love the graphs. my only complaint is that on the monthly "calendar" graph the lines showing when you read a book are often the same or extremely similar colors. I wish the colors were more different the way they are on all the other graphs!! other than that this app is perfect :)
Love the app and I've switched over from Good Reads. Works great and is much easier to track your progress with. Although sometimes it won't have the version of a book I'm reading at times and takes a while to update even after I upload a picture of the cover. I only follow one person so I'm not sure what the "social" side is like, but I appreciate the way it recommends books and what to read next.
