Review summary

Reviews praise tracking, a clean UI, and a strong community, often preferring it to Goodreads. However, recurring concerns include Android parity (iOS-first updates), missing dark mode and widgets, limited discovery (groups and friends' reviews), stability bugs (freezes and counting errors), and missing features (scanning/upload and Chrome extension). The most cited points are Android parity, dark mode availability, search/discovery limitations, and reliability issues.

Pros

Excellent tool for tracking reads and managing a to-be-read (TBR) list with daily progress, creating accountability.
Intuitive, visually appealing interface that many users compare favorably to Goodreads.
Active community features: ability to post and share ratings/reviews and engage with others.
Helpful for discovery and book ideas, contributing to ongoing motivation and routine.
Generally well-designed and user-friendly, with positive reception across multiple reviews.

Cons

Android parity lag: updates and new features often feel iOS-first, leaving Android users behind.
Missing Android UI features, notably dark mode and home screen widgets, plus overall inconsistent platform parity.
Discovery and social visibility gaps: difficulty finding groups, and limited access to friends' reviews on a book page.
Stability and data issues: occasional freezes, crashes, and counting inaccuracies in finished/summary views.
Feature gaps and integrations: Chrome extension not functioning and missing book-scanning/upload options.

2026-08-08	As*****	I've loved this app until the update yesterday when it changed the way to update progress on my current read. It no longer keeps the previous page count, but comes up blank every time, making it harder to keep track and update my reading log for MS Readathon because I have to try and figure out what page I started reading on to work out the page count. My only other gripe with the app is that it doesn't have all the books available that it should and is nearly impossible to add new ones.

2026-08-03	Is*****	a perfectly passable reading companion that charges money to do what story graph already does for free. the interface is nice, and easy to use. however, if you're not a white American woman (and most of us aren't!) the social media aspect of this app is useless. awful recommendations!
