the recommendations based on my recent reads and on "similar readers" are dominated by Amazon exclusive titles - I guess in Kindle Unlimited. I don't read any Amazon exclusives myself and don't plan to. It makes the recommendations much less valuable if so many of them are not generally available. I don't know if it would be possible to tag or label books that are exclusive to a particular platform and let us filter them.

Today I noticed that my comments don't show up in the Buddy Read page, despite my checking the required box. I've tried it multiple times, tried logging out and reinstalling the app, but it just doesn't seem to connect anymore. I thought it might be due to it being a user-added book, but it worked before so I don't know.

I know you're busy with the Kobo stuff, I don't want to add anything to your plate, but I just wanted to flag the issue for when you do have time!

Multiple people I've asked, including me, have been seeing our profile pictures blurry, even if the original file was clear. This happens on the phone app, as well as on the website. This also happens with the profile pictures of other users we try to check profiles of.

So i was attempting to switch from an audiobook format to the physical book format. However i am unable to switch edition to the version i own and have labeled as to read but i can switch to any other edition. In the picture I've attached you can see the hardback version i want to switch to on top with not switch edition option and the paperback on the bottom with a switch edition option. Very weird this is not an issue I've encountered before.

There are times when I’m adding Japanese editions of manga to the site where, when I complete the process, it will add vol 2 into vol 1’s editions for example. I always go through the search bar first to look up ISBN before proceeding with adding anything new so I’m not too sure what’s going on there. This has happened to me maybe 3 to 4 times now I think?

Would be great if I can open the view/edit read history for a book I'm currently reading. I often want to check how often I've read a book. But I can't check that easily when the book is on Currently reading

When I paste in text to the search box and write something after it, ex paste in author and write book title name, if I click on "show all results" it will show the results but remove one or two letters from the text that I entered in the search box.

• if I paste and type, then hit Enter on keyboard, it searches fine
• If I type first then paste a term after it, it's fine.
• If I paste then type after it, it removes.
• The URL also reflects that the search term is shortened
  -If I search multiple times, it will keep removing one more letter from the search.
• happened from a book page as well as from the search results page
• was able to recreate it multiple times
• worked with pasted "Andrea Moriarty" from a website, and typed "Daffy" after.

I DNFed a book today, and doing so double-counted the number of pages I had read. That is, I had read 116 pages and upon DNFing, the system counted my having read those 116 pages again for a total of 232 pages. This is visible across the journal entries for the book (see attached) as well as the monthly stats page and the yearly pages goal. Chatting with other users, a couple of others confirmed having recently encountered the same issue.

The number of reviews on a book’s page, and when you click on them to see the reviews do not match.

You can replicate this with the book: A Parade of Horribles by Matt Dinniman (2163 vs 866).

I used to see an indication of new forum posts on the Forums page for our group. This one:

https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/a61251cd-ba25-4ec1-afa7-0b802d7009e5/forums/a2a91ed1-86ea-4c3b-8dca-4c6a95dce27b

for example had a new post added half an hour ago as of when I'm writing this. I only knew that when I went to the Forum page for the group because I remembered the earlier comment count. In the past (a month or more ago, I think) there would have been a red dot next to the forum and then next to the new post. I depended on those (in the absence of notifications) to keep up with group activity.

I'm using a Chromium-based browser (Vivaldi) plus the iOS and iPadOS apps and am not seeing these indicators in any of them.

I've always been able to search by ISBN without removing the hyphens but recently that stopped working. The book I'm looking for appears if I remove the hyphens. Thanks for looking into this!

After writing a review, I go back to the book page, click the "based on xx reviews" link, check the "Only show reviews..." checkbox, and read other written reviews. Before a recent update, my review appeared at the top.

Now, my review never appears in the unfiltered list of written reviews. It does appear if I click on the star filter, though.

Can the previous behavior of my own review being visible in the unfiltered list be restored? The current behavior makes me feel crazy because I can only see it sometimes, and I didn't intentionally try to exclude seeing my own review.

Thanks!

On larger challenges (1000+ entries), completion graph doesn't load, instead just says "content missing"

Since the newest iOS update, myself and other book club members noticed a bug where nothing will load on the community tab. Screen will load if you switch from profile back to community.

In exported csv, any field containing non-ASCII characters such as letters with diacritical marks, which are common in many languages, gets mangled into symbols. For example, José Saramago becomes Jos√© Saramago and Milan Šimečka becomes Milan ≈†imeƒçka. Would be great to have this fixed, not just for author names but also because it makes reviews not written in English unreadable.

I'm trying to find books in my owned books that fit certain prompts, those prompts usually have like a requirement for a certain word in the title. So then I search those words to see if I own any books that say they have that word in the title. The results that come back are not what I'm looking for.

For example I tried to search Tuesday and got back Thursday Murder Club. Then I looked up Warm and got Farm. 3/4 of the letters does not make farm warm. 😆

Ampersands (and presumably greater than and less than signs, though I haven't seen those) are being incorrectly double-escaped in reviews on the news feed. That is, the HTML source of the page contains "&" so "&" is displayed to the user.

I often see duplicates in my lists, even when I only have one edition set as to read or owned etc. sometimes they are one after the other, and sometimes they are seperated by other books. When you click the three dots, the menu opens for both instances of the book in the list.

In the "For You" section of the giveaways, if one of the choices is an audiobook the cover gets cropped to match the book cover aspect ratio, which looks odd and can be confusing - I spent quite a while trying to parse the title of this one (The Control Problem) before I realised it was cropped 😅

Just realised this when trying to test the notification about to go out to everyone who successfully completed the Jan Pages Challenge.

Reader Bot was published in the last month, January 2026, so I imagine the listing is fairly new. However, if the result comes up as a duplicate when I add a new book, why doesn't it come up in search?

It seems like the header is pushed down from where it normally is, the tags icon is off the screen, and there's a slight horizontal scroll. I tried force stopping and restarting and it still stayed like this. I'll add pics in a comment.

Ive noticed recently that some of the personalised AI overview text is getting blocked out like a spoiler, but as far as I can tell its not hiding spoilers.
