Description

NEW: Our Advanced Stats Plus plan, including the ability to make your own pie and bar charts!

Import your Goodreads data: We will import all of your currently-reading, read, to-read, and did-not-finish shelves. Any custom shelves will be mapped to a custom tag on The StoryGraph.

Simple tracking and insightful stats: Easily track and learn about your reading habits with our wide range of charts and graphs. See how your reading develops over time and use that to help you pick better books.

Get smart personalized recommendations: Our machine learning AI is like your trusted go-to friend for book recommendations. It'll understand your reading preferences and find the best books for you.

Discover books by mood: In the mood for something adventurous, funny, and fast-paced? What about a darker, slower, more emotional read? Mix and match our comprehensive set of filters to choose your next perfect book.

Read with friends: Add live reactions to specific parts of the book without fear of spoilers. Comments are locked for other participants until they reach that point in their reading. Don't have people to read with? We’ve got machine learning-powered suggestions for great reading buddies.

Reading Challenges: Want to read one book from every country in the world? Or how about read a book per week across a range of genres? Our reading challenges feature help you set up personal goals or join in with others.

Custom Tags: Enhance your book tracking and discovery by making use of our custom tags feature. You can search and filter books by your tags and share curated lists with friends.

Content Warnings: When you review a book, you can let us know if there's any content within it that might be triggering for others. Then, when searching for your next read, all of this information is at your disposal.

Third 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!

Rapidly 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!

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for this review and rating!! I'm very curious to know what that one feature is. Please DM on Instagram or Twitter (or email support@thestorygraph stating the message is for Nadia and you're the Apple Review person with that one feature...) and let me know! :-D

Hi, 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 🫶🏼

Hello! There's only one developer and I've now seen your review (as I see all of them). :-D

We're aware of all of the things you mention and are actively working on our user interface, usability, easier ways to share parts of the app, etc.

You can keep track on our various social media platforms (right now Instagram and Twitter, and I have a biweekly founder newsletter where I talk about what's going on behind-the-scenes with the product — https://us20.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=f2926632bb76f32d457fc3bad&id=ac215706b6) and our roadmap: roadmap.thestorygraph.com.
