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'm currently at level 4, but I feel like its gonna take me some time to get to level 5! Ahhh. I've also never had a Goodreads or Storygraph, so I'm missing out on those 50 points. Pagebound is my first platform for tracking reading!

Think about it - would you just read more, or would you not know about many books and read less?

Discuss!

It took me so long to dip my toes into “romantasy”/“romance”. Too long.

For some reason, hearing romance novels described as “trash” growing up made me think there was something wrong with liking them. Like they were subpar? (Elitist, I know.) Then more recently, all I heard was people calling them “smut”, which again carries a certain connotation.

I’m just mad I didn’t start reading them sooner. God, why does everyone take reading so seriously?! Sometimes I just want to escape into a fantasy. And sometimes smut can be so good it makes you cry. Nothing subpar about that.

Anyways… excited to dig into this quest! 1 series down. On to the next!

hey pagebound! i was wondering... who here has recipes inspired by books or recipes that came directly from books/their authors? i'm so curious if anyone's done that. what drew you to that recipe or inspired its creation? did you conjure it up yourself? i'd love to know and how the food turned out :D i want all you chefs and bakers to reveal yourselves! 🫵😋

or have you read about food in a book and thought, "man, i wish i could devour that right now!"? (ehm, i might be a bit hungry at the moment...)
