Great idea, great app. Low budget (updates every 2 months…), so expect a few UX inconsistencies. I wish I could add personal notes to a book I’m adding (who told me about it / offered it to me etc). And that adding new books was a bit easier (auto retrieving data from worldcat?). There are also lots of duplicate titles in the database, not a big deal now but I’m concerned app may become slow or annoying (having to scroll through duplicates) because of it. For the positives : it’s simple, clear, easy to use. It doesn’t try to push a bunch of garbage on me (ads/sponsored content/recommendations) and is not riddled with useless features

I mostly use storygraph so i only go into the app every few months. I had imported from both storygraph and goodreads before. When i tried again last week i would only have the option to go from good reads but it wasnt doing anything. I would get the notification that the import started but when clicked it says 0 of of 0 books. Storygraph had some missing books and i only got the option to import when i deleted my library. So i did the steps and exported and uploaded the export and waited for the import to finish thinking it just might take a bit. Its been 5 days and its still loading. Goodreads import button is still doing the same thing which is nothing. I submitted two reports and have received nothing yet.

I enjoy the app, especially the social aspects, but I’m repeatedly frustrated at the inconsistencies with tracking book editions and ISBNs. When adding a book, you can edit the dates read, but then the app will sometimes change the version of the book. I’m often brought to books with blank cover squares and no descriptions. I hope this can get fixed! The staff members are great about responding to issue emails.
