"Despite the tremendous amount of material generated by Exploration A, no one has ever commented on the game Daisy wants to play with her father, perhaps because everyone assumes it is either a request "to play always" or just a childish neologism. Then again "always" slightly mispronounces "hallways." It also echoes it.”

THIS PART. I had to get up and walk around my house for a moment. My heart is pumping.

Guys I love reading ARCs but chilling in an empty forum is so weirdddd! I’m just going to post anyways and then discuss in a few months 😭😭😭

I am over the moon to share that the app is officially live on both iOS and Android!!

We've quite literally poured our blood, sweat and (lots of) tears into the app development over the past 9 months and we could not be more thrilled for everyone to experience it!

We're still being indexed in app store search so you may have to scroll to find us, or type in Pagebound: Social Book Tracker. Here's links to iOS and Android: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pagebound-social-book-tracker/id6751526412 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.pagebound.app

There are quite a few improvements and new features in the app, including:

• Book Journeys (click the map icon on the book cards in your library and other user's library to see their posts, comments, and updates for a specific book)
• Quick access to "add to plan"
• Filtering your activity on profile
• Save posts
• upgraded Read Dates editing

This is the first release, so there will be many more additions and improvements to come. (PS for Android users: we're aware of two bugs related to library imports from Goodreads/Storygraph, and issues with editing read dates - these have already been resolved and are pending Google approval for release.)

We owe a huge thank you to our beta testers who worked diligently over the last month to report hundreds of bugs and help us get the app prepared for release. A huge round of applause to them.

We hope you love the app as much as we do; it definitely makes engaging on PB so much more convenient and fun. If you have a great experience with the app, we'd love if you'd consider supporting us through Pagebound Royalty; Lucy and I have worked for $0 over the past year to bring the app and website to fruition, and have been covering business costs with our savings accounts. Your contribution means we can continue to work full-time on Pagebound without influence from investors or advertisers, and keep Pagebound 100% for readers by readers. Thank you so much to all the Royalty who have already contributed; it truly means the world to us and keeps Pagebound online!

ok now go download the app and tell us what you think!

Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy

PS - leaving us a review in app stores also helps tremendously :)

i feel like i should be high to read this but i also feel like reading this while high would give me a panic attack

Well hello, it hasn't been long since I found out about pagebound and let me tell you I got ADDICTED Comparing to other apps and sites I have used the community, the variety and if I may say the "fashion" is wayyy more prominent and I have been enjoying it more than I could ever have anticipated

I had been a "Goodreads" user for five years now and I was pretty faithful to it, I lived for the annual voting round, the monthly lists and recently I was getting very into the monthly challenges It was a good start but this year I also had my ✨awakening ✨ let's say in terms of world issues and personal ethics So when someone mentioned that "Goodreads" belonged in Amazon and funded/fueled a billion dollar company that is starting to gain monopoly in books and not alone I tried to find something to replace it and that something was "Fable" I liked that it felt more personal, I joined many bookclubs, I preferred the reviews and rating system compared to GR and was very satisfied overall UNTIL the app really enforced AI into its functions and I could no longer support it

No I found "Pagebound" through Instagram as an alternative to be both and I have been very happy here 🪷💕 I guess what I want to say is I have been trying to find the best version of an ethical book space and has taken a bit of a toll on me, getting used to new functions and all

The community has been great, a big thank you to all of you 🩷🩷🩷
