Hi all! New app version (1.1.93) is now available on both iOS and Android. This includes mostly quality of life updates, some small feature enhancements, and bug fixes - web was also updated! Here's a quick rundown of what changed:

Search Improvements: When you search on the app, you can navigate back to your search results. On web, searching in "Browse Lists" and "Browse Quests" also saves your search results.

Search by Emoji: This beloved feature is now available on the app! You can find a link in Search. This got a design upgrade on web as well - you can now search specifically for books, lists, or quests by Emoji and see the total results for each category.

Updated Emojis: The emoji list was updated on app to include newer emojis

Additional badge slots for Royalty: Royalty can now display up to 12 badges on their profiles (warning: if the app is not updated yet and you display more than 6, the badges will run off the screen!) EDIT: was made aware the badges will run off the screen when viewing someone else's profile. They will look correct when viewing your own. I'm sorry, silly bug from me! Will put up an "emergency" update in next few days.

New ways to add a book: In a shocking turn of events, we are able to offer the Add Missing Book via Goodreads Link feature again. You now have 3 options when adding a new book to the Pagebound database: Goodreads link, ISBN/ASIN manual form, non-ISBN manual form

Block List in Settings: under Account & Settings, you can see all the users you've blocked and manage your block list.

Update Reading Progress remembers your update method: that's a mouthful, but basically if you update your reading progress using %, you'll be defaulted to % the next time you log progress (or pages or minutes, whatever tracking method you choose)

Confirmation popup when clicking I'm Finished: In the progress update modal, there's a confirmation step before finishing the book when you click I'm Finished (for everyone who was accidentally clicking that and messing up their reads!)

What's next on the roadmap? We're working on making editing your reading data more accessible and intuitive (think: updating your start/finish date when you click the "Reading" and "Finished" statuses, editing format and length in the reading status modal) After that, we have major projects related to Quests (Quest dashboards 👀) and a huge Library revamp (I'm calling this "Library V2")

Thank you everyone for keeping this community thriving! We'll be back in a few weeks with the next update.

Happy reading, Jennifer + Lucy

I don't know whyyyy this bothers me so badly, but I guess I'm out here to fish if anyone feels the way I do.

I have been really into the Graphic Audio (or, dramatized adaptations) of books lately, but a lot of them are split up into separate audiobooks. I understand that they are essentially large books and must be split up, but I loathe having to mark them as two separate books read. To me, it's one book and shouldn't count as two (or three in some cases 😩). I know sometimes there are large periods of time between the two books released also, but I'm the sort of person that would rather have them released together to be considered one book. 😆

So tell me, what are your thoughts on this? Are you bothered by it as much as I am? Should I just mark the regular book for this as read, and in the review note that I listened to the Graphic Audio version? What would you do??? 🫣
