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 :)

Matt Kirkland had a really cool idea to create Dracula Daily which is a free email 'newsletter' that sends you the letters, diaries, telegrams and newspaper clippings on the date they occur in the book following the same timeline and content (between May 3rd and November 7th).

The FAQ is here. Its such a novel approach I'm quite interested, has anyone else read Dracula this way? I think I am going to catch up on the archives and have joined to give it a go.

brandanadei mentioned it in their review here as adding to the tension and another reader I follow on GR also just recommended it as an engaging and interesting way to read it.

I haven't really thought about it until now, but one of the things that makes Pagebound so different is that on any other social media site, interactions on really old posts are kinda strange, right? Like I'd be weirded out if someone suddenly liked one of my insta posts from a year ago. But on Pagebound, I HOPE I'm getting interactions on posts a year from now because it means someone else is reading a book I once read and is hanging out on the forum for that book! I don't know, I just think that's really cool, and I hope no one is ever dissuaded from commenting or interacting with a forum because the posts on it are older ❤️
