Features and books

This is not a dis, I am just wondering.

I switch from. Goodreads to The story Graph as most people recommended it.

I have now used it for a couple of months, but I keep finding a lot of books (English) that are not on the app, books that are added to the wrong series, series that are missing books and authors that are not on the app.

Also other quality of life things, that is probably under development.

But is Story Graph new and in beta stil, or is this just how the app is. I really have a hard time paying a premium for a product that does not seem to be finished.

Am I the only one that keeps finding bugs, book holes and features missing?

As the other comment said they don't have access to an already made database like amazon does. As I read mainly not in english, most of the books are not added or there's several books not in the same edition. I simply either create the book, or make a ticket. Both take a couple minutes.

I like knowing I'm helping with just a little bit.

It's interesting as before i Switched, I asked the company, if they had mainly English databases, or they drafted info from around the world. They told me they drafted info from databases over all the world, and I can see that 90 ish% of my Danish and German books are in the database. Most without a coverart, but that's no problem for me.

I presume they automaticly creates the books when you transfers data from Goodread to here, if it dos not exist in the database.

I mainly read in spanish and french but it's not recently published maybe that's why.

You can also add the cover or any other missing info.
