I don't want every review I post and every book I start, finish and dnf to show up on the community feed. It'd be great to have a setting where they are visible if a friend looks at your profile, but don't pop up on the community tab itself. Maybe smth similar to the checkbox goodreads has to add the review to updates before posting.

It would be great if book club admins could tag their members (as in a general @members/@everyone) in the forums.

I'd love to see a way to combine tags with book format in the Stats section.

What I'm hoping for: the ability to filter or break down my read books by tag and format (hardcover, paperback, ebook, audiobook, etc.) at the same time.

Example use case: I use a "library" tag for books I borrow from my library. I'd like to see how many of those library books I read as paperbacks, ebooks, audiobooks, and so on. Right now I can see format stats and I can see tagged books, but I can't see the two together.

Why it would help: it would show how readers actually use their libraries. For example, whether someone borrows mostly ebooks and audiobooks through Libby (the library's free borrowing app) or checks out print copies. It would work for any custom tag too, such as "gifted," "bought secondhand," or "review copy."

I know one thing y'all want is a way to filter/list/see all of your private books in one place.

Anything else?

For larger challenges.

One of my reading challenges (”Reading Around Ireland”) has 32 prompt entries. Another scofi one is 50+ entries. I’d love to filter to just the remaining to-read entries to help me choose my next up reads.

When I search a book/author, I’d like to see a preferential list of results the shows me the matches for books /author I already have in my library.

Example: if I have a book on to-read list already and search for a title match, show me that match first. For books with multiple matches, this saves a lot of time.

i really appreciate storygraph's extensive content warning system, but the "graphic / moderate / minor" scale needs a little more nuance. right now, a "minor" warning for something heavy like sexual assault or pedophilia is a bit too vague. is it a fleeting, one-sentence mention in a backstory, or a prevalent theme that just isn't shown graphically on the page? adding descriptive tags like "briefly mentioned," "off-page," or "thematic" would give readers the exact context they need to safely navigate their triggers.

When removing books from your to-read list, the app asks if you want to remove all your tags. In that pop-up, would it be possible to also include “remove from all reading challenges”? It’s tedious to have to individually remove a book from a bunch of separate reading challenges (especially if they’re from past years or numbered challenges) once you've decided you no longer want to read it at all.

I LOVE the kobo syncing with StoryGraph feature however sometimes I’d like to open up an ebook without it being marked as being read. Like I’m flipping through a book.
For example, when I’ve just bought an ebook I might want to have a look at the contents page or after I’ve read a ebook to look back at my highlights.
Maybe an option to tick a “yes I’m starting this ebook” or something?

Perhaps the thing I love the most about the yearly wrap up is the mood map (the line that goes up with lighter books, and down with darker ones), but I think it's such a shame that it's only visible in a yearly basis.

I would love for it to be part of the "regular" stats page, like the pages/books read per month line is.

I currently use a tag for authors whom I have no interest in buying from again. The part that stinks is I have to basically do it for each book (or each first book in a series) to gently remind myself - hey you didn’t like these other books by them — DO NOT BUY, WISHLIST, etc.

It would be really nice if we could somehow create tags for authors where it would tag the entire author and books they’ve written. This could also be expanded to have favorite authors, auto buy authors etc.

I would love this type of feature and functionality and I think others (once they see it in use) might also enjoy it. It could then allow promos of author books to accounts that have them on specific lists - such as Rebecca Yarros - receive book updates from “following” or adding her to your Favorites List, etc. This could work similarly to following authors on Amazon. The key is that I am sure for favorites, etc it’s easier/more common than a Do Not Buy…I just hope that can be considered with this feature idea!

I am working on a personal reading challenge where I added a bunch of tropes that I’d like to read an example of this year. Rather than add new books to my tbr, I’d love to be able to ask an ai bot to look through my list and, avoiding excessive spoilers, suggest books with specific tropes. If no books on my list work, use my history and preferences to suggest books i will like, rather than just the most popular examples.

I have tried to use the trope search function in explore, but I’m not sure if it understands my plain text properly (do I need a - in “fated mates” for it to work?)

I also can’t easily search for tbr books that have not been added to a reading challenge yet, but that would be a helpful way to use the tbr search bar.

Different book editions/formats have different cover image dimensions. In the cover collage (especially after logging audiobooks), the covers can become quite misaligned.

It would be great to either i) add padding to the covers in collage so that smaller books have white spaces around them and collage becomes automatically aligned or ii) top/bottom/center align each row and column of the collage.

I love looking at my cover collages and every time I generate one I wish the covers were aligned...

With the integration of Kobo x StoryGraph it would be cool to have our notes/highlights be saved in our journal entries section. I’ve started to do it manually for my Libby borrowed books and it’s a hassle.

There should be an option to include academic papers as a "book" format to track how many we read! They can be 20-30 pages long and they start adding up throughout the year. It would be a nice way to acknowledge the trials and tribulations of reading them (as they can be dense).

I look at the yearly “Number of books and pages” chart often. Now that I have plus, I really like that I can compare the number of books read per month between 2025 and 2026, for example. But I’d really love to be able to do the same for pages read!

A separate chart would work, or maybe even combining the books and pages read charts, like the single-year view. I find the single-year chart really easy to interpret with those stats overlaid. The pages read could be represented w/ different colors or dotted lines or something! I hope that makes sense.

p.s. thanks for all your hard work on the app! :)

When reading a book by an author that I either have indicated I don't want recommendations from OR I've read books for them before but recorded them below 3 stars, show a warning like the 'this book contains topics you said you want to avoid' but for the author.

Hi. Wish we could see our total friend count at the top of the friends page.

I would like to be able to see how many days out of the month, year, or custom date range I have read. I could go back and manually count for every month on the chart in stats, but it would be nice if it could calculate that for you. My streak has reset this year, but at the end of the year, I would like to be able to say that I read 312 out of 365 days or something like that.

I quite enjoy satire books, and it would be helpful to be able to search books by this genre

I'd like to be able to view all the unanswered/less answered questions for the books I've read in one place.

I'd love it if I could sync my StoryGraph To-Read Pile into my ThriftBooks wishlist.

I would love the ability to filter on certain friends/following so I can focus on just their newsfeed updates. Some people read a LOT and clog up my feed. This seems like a good middle ground so slower readers don’t get lost in the shuffle but I don’t have to consider unfriending the prolific readers. Bonus points if you can select multiple people at once for the filter.

Ex. Reddit has a way to pin certain subreddits so you can only scroll through that subset in a custom view.
