## Review summary

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.

- Intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface.

- 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.
