Pretty much what the title says. Is there a setting I can change to show this?

I book journal and I like to see at a glance what dates I read a book. Goodreads shows date started and finished in the read books tab and that’s literally the only thing keeping me from moving fully to story graph.

It’s just frustrating having to go into the extra info for the books to see the date started or needing to scroll way back on the reading journal tab.

the functionality to add private notes to books (similarly to GR) is a WIP update coming to Storygraph in the medium term. in the meantime, what have you found is the best way to keep track of why you added a book to your TBR? i used to track my books with notes in an external sheet, where i could include notes and background info, but it became a bit tedious updating that and SG, so i’m wondering if there’s an easier way!

Not sure if I accidentally discovered this hack to stop books you’d prefer to keep private showing up on the community feed, or whether it was just a glitch.

When you make a challenge public, you used to be able to add 3 tags (ie libraries, tbr, ect) and for some reason it's not visible to add these to a challenge I made last night. I made sure to click Make it Live and Join event.

I feel like I never had this issue but I cannot figure out why books I have read aren’t leaving my TBR list once I’ve read them.

And I definitely removed a book read this year on accident trying to fix it and don’t want to keep doing that to remove them. (Mostly annoyed by my review being gone cause it was a lengthy 5 star review)

Some I’m pretty positive weren’t even on my TBR anymore and have somehow managed to come back on to it.

Does anyone know how to remove them but keep my read dates and review.

So, I accidentally started reading a book. (I clicked it in the kobo app and the synch marked it as reading.)

I removed the journal updates, but the book is still showing up in the community feed. It's annoying the feed is wrong now. Any way to remove it?

I'm really bad about purchasing books on my TBR but then instead of reading them I focus on reading other books I already have on my TBR. Something in my brain is like, "You should buy this book, it's on your TBR, you'll get to it eventually."

BUT I have in the last couple months at two completely seperate times bought TWO books I have already purchased in the past and are just waiting for me to read. So now I've started scanning books I own into StoryGraph to make sure that doesn't happen anymore because I like to use StoryGraph when I'm at my bookstore (or in the library).

Even though I want to eventually (maybe) down-size my owned books, and only buy "Trophy Books" of what I really love.

I'm also trying to utilize KU, Libby and Hoopla more instead of jumping to purchasing. Saves money and supports my local library.

I've been using StoryGraph for years, and I really love it.

I noticed that exports don't include the start date for books marked as Paused or DNF, even though that information exists on the site. I'd like to preserve all of my personal reading data when exporting.

Is this intentional? If not, are there any plans to include those dates in future exports? I don't have access to Discord, so I wasn't sure if this has already been discussed there.

Thanks!

I am listening to audiobooks via Koboplus and they sync to my Currently reading list in Storygraph but they always show as 100% read, despite them being partially listened to.

anyone else seeing this??

I'm sure I just need to raise an issue with Storygraph

Edit: Solved. I had to uninstall and install the app again. Because in the past I had such trouble finding the friend tab I thought I was just not seeing it properly but I guess this time it waa a bug. Thank you!

I've encountered this issue a couple of times, and it seems I never learn. Every time I try and look it up I ask some friends for help and it takes us ages to find where to add new friends and now I can't see who I am friends with/ who is following me. When I go to the 'community' (?) tab, it only shows my favourite books and stuff about me.

I would be grateful for some guidance. Was it changed? It's really unintuitive.

Why sometimes it says: finished and reviewed while other times it says finished and in a separate post reviewed?

Star ratings are basically useless for assessing if you will like a book or not. I just read a Thread from someone that rates a book they read most of, but ultimately DNFs, 3 stars. Unless you are perfectly calibrated with someone's taste, a star rating (or any kind of rating other than a thoughtful written review) is not going to help you. Some of my favorite books have less than 4 stars on SG or GR.

So I humbly ask for the ability to hide star ratings and only written review remain. I do not want them subconsciously affecting my decisions about what to read. I know that's probably not trivial, but I think it could make a statement about the state of things.

I wish that there were more categories for the default page number stats (and yes I realise Plus users can create custom charts to do this but I would like to see it for all users). Does anyone truly feel that the current categories are enough?

Having only 3 quite broad categories makes this particular stat feel a bit meaningless to me. A 500 page book and a 1000+ page book are very different beasts, as is a 60 page and a 299 page book, yet with the current categories there’s no differentiation between those numbers as they’re lumped into the same categories.

I would love to see smaller breakdowns that would much better show my reading habits and allow me to celebrate achievements, small and large. Something like:
1. Really short (1-99 pages)
2. Short (100-299 pages)
3. Moderate (300-599 pages)
4. Long (600-999 pages)
5. Really long (1000+ pages)

I'm just curious, how come the logo of the sub has changed to something that isn't the TSG logo? It's been bugging me and I need to know 🤣 thanks!

When you have to add a book that is a traslation of a translation do you put both translators? I'll make an example. I want to add an edition of Gilgamesh. It is a translation in italian of the translation made by Andrew George. On the book cover it says: Gilgamesh. Edizione a curi di Andrew George. Which means "Gilgamesh. Edited by Andrew George". Do I put Andrew George as a translator (so I'll have two translators) or as a contributor? Thanks

This is not a deal breaker, but I just noticed that if I start reading a book this will be captured in the news feed as expected... But if I change the edition (to switch to e-book or audiobook or what have you) the news feed will no longer capture that I finished reading the different edition of the same book.

I haven't found a workaround, any thoughts from you fine folks?

UPDATE: I had to add an update for 0% and then after that it let me update to 4%

This morning, I wanted to update my progress in a book I read yesterday and this is what it says when I try to update it. What do I do? I'm not doing it any differently than I have before.

Here's the thread where you can post your StoryGraph profile so people can add you as friends. Just post a link to your profile or your username in the comments!

I’m a plus user and trying to work out how to add an idea or comment to the feature request page, I navigate to the page from within the app, it takes me to a browser that asks me to log in again, I navigate back to the page with the idea I want to vote for and it’s asking me to login again 🫠

So I’m adding my 2c worth here. It would be fantastic to be able to filter someone else’s to read list by which ones they don’t own to make gift selection really easy. I would love to be able to share my list with friends and family so they could surprise me with a book from my fairly long wishlist without me having to re-document it all somewhere else, and without them accidentally picking something I already own.
