User Reviews

Users praise Hardcover.app for its attractive, intuitive UI and strong tracking features, plus easy data import from Goodreads and StoryGraph, making it a solid Goodreads alternative. However, many reviews cite reliability issues: slow loading times, frequent crashes, and onboarding/login frustrations, including sign-in loops and redirects to the website. UI responsiveness can also be problematic, with occasional blank screens. If performance and onboarding improve, it could become a top choice for readers.
Pros
  • Beautiful, polished UI and design; among the best-looking reader-tracking apps.
  • Intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface.
  • Robust tracking features and useful reading metrics (stats, lists, reviews, match percentages).
  • Ability to import data from Goodreads and StoryGraph (migration-friendly).
  • Strong Goodreads/StoryGraph alternative thanks to UI and feature set.
Cons
  • Slow performance and long loading times across sections.
  • Frequent crashes and general reliability issues impacting use.
  • Onboarding and login frustrations (loops, sign-in problems, not remembering login).
  • Unresponsive UI with redirects to the website or blank screens during use.

I find myself frustrated every time I use this app because I have been logged out and it doesn’t remember my login information. Fix this please! It’s also a little clunky with respect to adding a new read. Sometimes it adds multiple reads if I say I’m currently reading something and try to adjust the dates or type of book. As others have noted it’s also slow to load at times when I just want to log in a quick update to my reading status.

Love it. Better than good reads and most other trackers.

This app feels like it was designed by real readers, for real readers. Easy to navigate, intuitive and pleasant interface, features that actually add to the experience of reading. Highly recommended.
