Moving from StoryGraph to ReadTracker
ReadTracker imports StoryGraph exports directly. Here is what comes across, and the one thing you may need to fix afterwards.
How to move your library
- Export your StoryGraph library as a CSV file.
- Save it somewhere in your Files app.
- In ReadTracker, open Settings, choose Import, then StoryGraph.
- Pick the file and let the import run.
One thing to know before you import
StoryGraph exports do not include page counts. ReadTracker uses page count for reading progress and for several statistics, so it fills that in where it can. Some books may still need the page count set by hand after the import. This is a limitation of what StoryGraph puts in the export file, not something either app is doing wrong.
How the two differ
StoryGraph is a cross-platform service with a web app alongside its mobile apps, and it is well known for mood and pace based recommendations. ReadTracker is a native iPhone and iPad app focused on tracking your own reading in detail — four lists, per-book progress, notes and tags, custom ratings including half-stars and emoji, reading goals and challenges, and statistics over time.
If you genuinely read across a phone, a laptop and an Android tablet, StoryGraph's web app matters and ReadTracker will not replace it. If you read and log on an iPhone or iPad — which is most people — ReadTracker is built for exactly that, and feels like it.
The recommendations are the draw. The app is not.
StoryGraph's mood and pace matching is genuinely clever, and it is the reason people put up with the rest. The app around it is plain to the point of unfinished: utilitarian screens that read like a database front end, charts dropped in where design should be, cramped spacing, and typography that never decides what it wants to be. It still supports iOS 14, and it looks it — almost nothing iOS has added in the last five years is in evidence.
That is what building web, iOS and Android from one product costs. Every screen has to work everywhere, so no screen is designed properly for anywhere, and the iPhone app ends up a website in a shell — slower to respond than it should be, and visibly behind.
ReadTracker requires iOS 26 and is built natively for it: system controls and materials, real Dynamic Type support, a considered dark mode, fluid animation, and layouts made for reading and logging on a phone. It opens instantly and stays responsive however large your library gets.
