For years, I used Goodreads with my Kindle to track my reading habits and discover new books.

But after hearing about StoryGraph, I decided to change things up.

Ive found that it has more interesting features than Goodreadsand Amazon doesnt own it.

What is StoryGraph?

Theres a lot more to it than that, though.

When you finish a book, youre greeted with a sort of mini questionnaire.

why is this app statsfm-1

It asks about the books mood, pace, plot, characters, etc.

Its much more than a simple star rating.

StoryGraph also provides detailed analytics on your reading habits, displayed inyou guessed itgraphs.

It breaks down your reading by genre, pacing, length, mood, and more.

Why It’s On My Phone

Initially, I was skeptical about moving away from Goodreads.

It had been my go-to platform for years.

I have a few fellow-reader friends on it, and I was comfortable with its features.

Making the switch was surprisingly easy.

StoryGraph allows you to import your Goodreads data, so I didnt have to start from scratch.

Your To Read and other shelves are kept intact, along with your ratings and reviews.

First of all, the interface is much nicer than Goodreads.

It actually feels like a modern app, not something thats been exactly the same for a decade.

The next thing I really liked was the AI-powered personalized recommendations for each book.

StoryGraph uses your past reading to tell you if a book is likely to interest you.

It’s very helpful.

Since switching to StoryGraph, Ive found myself finding better books to read.

And it’s not just about stats.
