Pagebound: Social Book Tracker

I love this app so much, it's got the cute social media-ness that I wanted from Storygraph and it works so well for those looking for big company alternatives for book tracking. It goes so well with my Storygraph usage and the import of data is so handy. The community is so good and the app works well even for thos who don't want to engage with others

I love this app for all the social and community aspects, the timeless, book club like discussion forums for the books and the honest ratings where an okay book is 3 stars and a 4.5 book is really awesome and a 5 star book is the ultimate amazing brain breaking wonder that one only finds a very few times in life

i've found so many interesting new books i want to read from peoples comments and recommendations and the readalongs! and badges are so much fun! i love it so much!!! convenient, cute, and engaging 🩷 and no ads 😍

The most fun book tracking app to ever exist honestly

I love this app so much. It's like a silly lovechild of Goodreads and Letterboxd. You can be as profound as you want but most of the time I see the funny oneliners and reactions and they just make my day. I love how the posts are undated too. One thing for improvement: please make the avatars customizable 🙏 hopefully we can all choose specific colors for the clothes, hair, and skin tone other than what's provided.

I love this app and how it helps me find new books and new people to discuss them with! Best app I've downloaded in years!!

Screw Goodreads, Pagebound is 100x better!

I adore this app! It's super cute, community driven but without the pressure of book clubs. I love that it's a small female developer that isn't using AI and that there's an option to support through the app if you can afford to do so. I just wish it worked better on my phone! I get a lot of delays when pressing buttons in the quests and especially when trying to add a book to the app. Not sure if it's a me problem - I'm on a Google Pixel I purchased in 2024.

absolute goated app y'all the coolest. the no ai option makes you the best.

Best book tracker ever! I love so many features of this app, and the community on here is incredible. My favorite thing is being able to see people post about books I've read; it's so much fun talking about some of my favorite books with people who get to experience them for the first time. Love love love!

this app has become my sanctuary. I have found such a lovely community here as well as finding so many great books and recommendations! I didnt find Goodreads, Fable nor Storygraph to have as much of a community as this one. I also did not get as good recommendations from Goodreads as I do from Pagebound. the quests! there are amazing books quests and these are one of the biggest ways I've found such amazing books id never even heard of or recommended before. 10/10

Everything I could ever want in a book tracking/social media app. The biggest boost to this is how community focused and social this is, I constantly find myself wanting to comment on posts due to insightful points or start another book. It's the perfect book app for myself personally and even if you want a slightly different experience, there's so many different functions that you'll probably be able to achieve it!

The best booktracking app available

The perfect book tracker for me. And it's an amazing way to connect to others who are reading the same books or even find new stuff you want to read. I actually find myself scrolling Pagebound as a healthier alternative to Instagram and it just makes me more excited to read!

I do love the idea and it is great app, but the only thing that made me uninstall this app is, its UI. I just can't stand it.

In my opinion, this is the best alternative to Goodreads. So glad this exists!

the best reading app!!!! you need to switch to Pagebound today! no ads, no data selling, and no AI!!! there are so many fun and unique features, and this app has helped me rebuild my love for reading!

This is exactly the kind of reading app I've been looking for. It does what neither Goodreads or Storygraph does in a way that feels intuitive and effortless. Theres still a lot of features I'd like to see, but this is an actively updating project. Lets you talk with other readers without needing to have read a book within a certain time frame.

Cute app but it's so glitchy and laggy, I'm starting to consider switching to another reading tracker.

this is a really cool idea (great alternative to eg. Goodreads) and I'm enjoying using it. I think the app needs some work. theres an option to track a reading streak on the home page, which I toggled off cos I didn't want to see that, but did nothing. went on the bug report form and I couldn't report the bug cos of an issue with inputting my country. the ironing. also it's not at all obvious how to 'Discuss' things. if I click the discuss tab I can see what others say but can't make a post

Lovely app, as a non-avid reader it's so easy to add books I've read and what I'm currently reading. also love being able to look up a friend's TBR and filter by books they don't own! Constant updates & every update seems to work and add features

it's so greatttttt

💜

This book app is amazing ❤️ I honestly have used it everyday. I love the lists of book recs that people make. I also enjoy reading for badges ❤️ My favorite part is the stats ❤️

Definitely my favourite book-tracking app so far and this is coming from someone who has been using both StoryGraph and Goodreads for years. Pagebound combines StoryGraph's logging system (which is my favorite because it makes it super easy to log the specific edition I'm reading) with the social aspect of Reddit, but without any of the toxicity most people associate with it. I haven't really seen any drama related to mods or downvoting, which isn't yet a feature.

not loading or working properly in my Samsung S25 ultra

The absolute BEST book app out there!

this app is more of a social media app than a book progress tracker. the interface is cute but actually using it to track books is quite clunky. if you want to track a book you already read, you have to follow several steps to mark it as finished, add a start and finish date, and it still may or may not even show up correctly in your stats page. on top of that, the stats it generates on the free version is not very impressive, you have to switch to premium for all tracking features.

Changed my old book-tracking app for Pagebound months ago but I can't even open it on my android anymore after the last update. Deleted it, reinstalled, and went to sign in again- says "That didn't work" or my "credentials are wrong"

Pathetic app. No recommendations for books and they remove review if author pays them enough.

best reading tracking and social app very much active and updated frequently for new features that are requested I love this app I stopped using other apps. female ran and owned if that is something that does matter to some. I have tried a lot of the tracking apps and this one is my favorite. percentage is 1% behind if you use libby when you enter hh:mm.

full of whimsy while encouraging you to occasionally try a new genre or author. so enjoyable & easy to use.

This app has a lot of great features, but scrolling is pretty slow and laggy in the sections that have to load more than a couple images.

Great app experience! I already love Pagebound and it's forum based social media, but the app is so easy to read and has the added bonus of having more stats.

I love it so much can you add the book shelf where we can also put our books like a real life book shelf that's interactive? Also can we pair a book to a song so we can see what inspired other book readers to read it too?

I love this app. It is so great to be able to connect with others about the books that I am reading. I like the challenges and communities you can join. All the other user I intact with are very nice. And it's super cute ☺️ 💕

amazing app! highly recommend it over fable !!!

so much more than just a tracking app. I love all those little communities in each book's forum and FINALLY being able to engage with people loving the same books as me the way *I* love them has been such an incredible experience.

Tried creating an account using the Google account button, would get an error message. I tried creating an account using an email and the app would freeze. When creating the account, would get messages saying the email was already being used. Tried to log in but PW was bad. Was able to reset the PW but tried to log in and said the PW didn't work. I force closed the app and cleared the cache. Took me so long to create an account, and was not able to log into the account at all.

i love the app but I wish that the books I muted to not show up on my feed actually stopped showing up on my feed. several books that I have muted still showed up when profiles that I follow read or comment on these books.

What happened to this up? It's been so laggy. Nothing loads and even my reviews won't submit ugh.

actually really grew on me. Also like the new darkmode. I think the light boxes could be improved but overall like the direction. keep it up

Pagebound has so many nice features such as emojis to describe books, a description of all tropes/categories most books fall into, and an engaging forum to discuss books. Plus, the UI is cute. It could be confusing at first but everything is aptly labeled, so it's pretty easy to figure out your way around the app. I also love how there are recommendations for other books if you liked a book that come from other readers!

May I say its the greatest book app to exist?

no words needed. everything i am looking for in a book app is here!

This app sells itself with a girly pop aesthetic, a unique community and a feeling of nostalgia. It, much like nostalgia, hides all of its problems underneath the surface of this facade. The community acts much like a highschool, with the founders at the top of the food chain and the, now defunct, Top Contributors their lackeys. If anyone disagrees with decisions made, these TCs gather, attempting to tear down the 'dissenter' like we're reporting our neighbors as commies in the Red Scare.

great alternative to goodreads! and no AI!

I never write ratings for apps but I absolutely love and obsessed with this one. The forum is my favourite part, it's like an endless book club. Reading what everyone else thinks has gotten me out of a reading slump and helps me engage more thoughtfully with what I'm reading.

Super fun app for reading and connecting with other people reading the same book as you. HOWEVER something happened recently and I can't post an update based on book progress with the spoilers toggle. it's my favorite part of the app and it's broken. please fix it or tell me how to change it back!

super fun! just wish more of my friends would switch over from goodreads

I love the app but I would really if they had a widget that can sit on my phone home screen and not just for iOS but Android too. Like being able to track my reading and easily update my reading progress from my home screen is a huge help and also very convenient.

Pagebound has done something no other reading tracker has done for me: it makes me want to actually engage with the social interaction features. The timeless forum posts are brilliant - you post your thoughts about a book when you read it, and then months or even years later, someone else might read the book and respond to your post so the discussion remains evergreen. The ability to curate lists is fantastic too. And the developers are very responsive to feedback, bugs, and feature requests.

I absolutely adore this app, I've been using it since the time it was a site and I have no complaints, I love it so much and it's super fun to use, I love that every book has their own forums and the little quests and badges are just perfect. 💖💖

I hate that I got to know about this app so late. Its the best app. Beautiful UI and Amazing features. I love it. There is one thing that I see it lacking that is the books do not have genres in its description. I think genre is the most importantly information about a book so I think you should add it. I would have definitely considered buying the premium but it is way too expensive for me.

I think the app is pretty good. It works really well on my device. I really like all the aspects. And.... isn't shilling for Amazon like Goodreads is.

Pagebound is a wonderful book tracking app AND community. I'm such a stats nerd and the Pagebound stats are untouched by other book apps. Jennifer and Lucy also listen to the community to continue making Pagebound a great experience for all.

I love this app! My favourite feature is the ability to discuss a book at a certain percentage of the way through it, so you can react and theorise without spoilers. The UI is great and easy to use. It allows you to create loads of custom virtual bookshelves to sort your TBR or past reads. There's an algorithm that helps you find people with similar taste which uses books you have in common from "your taste" books and your shelves. There are user-listed "similar books" on each book's page.

I can say that I love this more than goodreads.

most wonderful community of readers with ambitious and caring developers that nuture their app!

this is the best book tracking app I've ever used and I have used a lot the design is so beautiful, the community is so nice, it's being improved regularly, AI is not used at all, completely women owned and no ads ever <3

Why is this app SO PEAK?? I've only been here for two days, but I'm already obsessed. The percentage-based posting feature is genius, keeps us literally on the same page. It has the flexibility of Goodreads without the clunky UI, plus the community focus I've been looking for. I've had more meaningful conversations here in 2 days than months on Fable or other book apps. It's not your typical social media, but wayyy better. This is exactly what I wanted from a reading community.

12/10, amazing, better than Goodreads

As a passionate reader, I have tried a bunch of book apps but this is hands down the best! Great features, no AI, and, most importantly, populated by a curious, supportive community of fellow book lovers. It is also completely add-free.

Best Book Tracker Ever. I am actually clearing my TBR and reading has been so fun - getting to interact with other readers and put my own thoughts out there as I read is a game changer. Utilizing the plan feature is what is really getting me to clear my TBR - I am able to plan out books i think i would want to read (am sort of a mood reader) and then i can pick what i am in the mood for from those choices rather than experiencing decision paralysis. Seasonal challenges are also awesome!

been obsessed with this app for the last half a year, the forum features are really unlike anything else across the countless reading apps I've tried I really find myself just browsing a lot of the times, it's my routine now lol

Best social reading tracker out there! The small pagebound team works very quickly to resolve issues and keep the app running as smooth as possible. Quests and badges are a really fun motivator to keep reading and read books I might not have normally read. Also a big bonus for me, no AI and created and owned by women! Love the pagebound app and team and will never stop singing their praises.

This app would be better if there was an option to share one's notes/reactions/thoughts as posts as well. The book forum rules are way too restrictive.

I love Pagebound! It is actually colorful and pretty, and it has great features like forums for each book, quests and readalongs for those who like a reading challenge, reading stats, and more! Pagebound was created by women and is anti-AI. Plus, they are listen to user input and continue to make updates based on feedback they receive. And you can import your Goodreads data so you don't lose your history!

Really great app. The rating system, the forum helped me so much with engaging with the books I read since I can't annotate (libby user) also engaging with people reading the book. It's great, but losing a point with arabic book as an arabic reader I really want to do the same with my arabic books but adding the sometimes doesn't work the only reason really why I still use goodreads along side pagebound.

The app sacrifices accessibility to boycott AI.

Really glitchy. Pages take forever to load, spinning circle for minutes at a time.

the best reading tracker app I've had. It gives me the community of readers that I needed

I have all the reading apps for different reasons. I stumbled across this one due to insta and loved they didn't use AI. This app and Storygraph remain my top favorites. I love pagebound because it feels pretty easy to use. I enjoy the discussions scattered over book forums. It makes me feel lile I am in a chat room in the early 2000s with a whole bunch of people enthusiastically discussing books. Exactly the vibe I want. Also the colors and vibe feel retro and fun.

This is a lovely app that feels more community orientated and with great features to track and interact with your reading

love love love

LOVE, this app, an entire social media app for readers, from Book quests, to specific book discussions in the Book's forum, to the app-wide read-alongs offering four books, and multiple chances to earn handmade badges, most of all, free of the plague of AI

it is becoming my favorite book tracking app. There is so much to it! and they keep updating it with even more great things!!!

My new favorite book social app!

More than an app: a community PageBound is an evolving book community. the founders are so dedicated to making it a space for people who love books to be able to connect, collaborate and curate with others. it's such a friendly community, and the features are updating all the time. no adds. no ai. no multi billion budgets. just solid app development and intentional community.

If you love reading and enjoy reddit you'll love this app, the community is lovely too and it's constantly receiving quality of life updates.

Used to use StoryGraph but this beats it for me. Lovely independently owned app with a great community and lovely aesthetic

Lovely and friendly book community with engaged founders who are always listening and making improvements! Themed quests, badges, and lists are a highlight, and great for discovering new books.

One of the most coherent, easy to use, adorable, and honestly just feature flooded Goodreads alternatives I've found, the quests and lists are definitely my favorite feature. Did I mention it's also absolutely adorable??

super buggy. app doesn't load even with a strong wifi. clearing cache doesnt work either. neither does uninstalling and reinstalling the app. the app just freezes. cant even log in after reinstalling. edit: until now, app is still buggy. doesn't even load after exiting the app. uninstalling and reinstalling app makes it hard to log back in.

Quickly becoming my favorite reading tracker. Improvements are always being added and they're thoughtfully approached.

I really like the look of this app, and therefore I want to use it more. I do want to suggest having the series option, since pretty readers would like to see the other books in the series and in the app it does not have that, so we have to individually search for it.

Really like this app here

Nice app to log books but the check in is bugged. I can't input how many pages I finished the day of. The goal, reading list and check in can be integrated more smoothly

A fun, unique way to be a book lover

taking too much time to load or most of the time it won't load 🫩

Great Reading Tracker! I love the discussions feature and reading stats! 😍

Best reading tracker out there. Plus great for reader engagement and community. And better yet, NO AI!!!! As an author and reader, cannot recommend this app enough. The creators are legends!

my favourite reading app. more than a tracker, it has a wonderful community of readers that you chat with and dedicated forums for each book.

lovely app with lovely people running it!

By far the best bookish app I've ever used. The app is constantly improving with new additions and roll outs which are all amazing. It's my new favourite social media, and I love the forums. So appreciative of their anti-AI stance, which is so hard to find nowadays.

this isn't the app's fault, i know, but my phone blocked notifications from this app and it's not letting me toggle it on 😭 it also doesn't let me use the streak widget. the app is not even showing up in the widget menu i am so sad. but it is my phone's doing. nothing to do with the app. the app is lovely <3

Love the commitment to not using AI. Also, bugs have been fixed quickly, and the app is constantly getting new features!

This is literally the best book app available. With the whole anti-AI, I like it so much more. My Reading has only increased ever since I started using the app.

I've now had this app for a couple of weeks, and I'm still in love. The community is absolutely lovely, and the app feels so nice that it creates an environment that encourages you to read. I love connecting with other readers here, and sharing my thoughts on the books I'm reading.

I love this app is the best for readers

so far the concept is nice but it lags sooooo badly. like, scrolling through the quests the app takes at least 2-5 seconds to respond. I always question if it's my phone, but every other app runs smoothly.

Such a fun app with a great user friendly interface. It's the most interactive reading app I have found and I love using it to track books. I really love the forums section of each book which allows you to see peoples thoughts at different points in the book. I hope this apps popularity keeps growing because the community that this app has cultivated so far is one of the best parts.

This app, ah, where do I begin; not only did it reignite my passion for reading after a years-long slump, but it has also provided me with the most amazing community of fellow bookworms and THE BEST book recommendations I have ever received from anywhere. Had me deleting all my other book-tracking apps within a week; it's really in a league of its own.

The best app for readers, hands down - great user experience and design. If you like talking about books, you need this.

absolute favorite app. I'm spending ages on here everyday. I love connecting with people over books, and I'm so dedicated to everyone on here.

This is the best book app that exists for book discussion, bar none. The developers are responsive to any issues submitted, and I love how each book has a continuous, undated forum. There are separate feeds/fyp for who you follow, versus books you have in your library. It's great for book tracking as well; you can add a plan for your to-be-read, and you can put books in an "interested" shelf versus your to-be-read, if you want to save them, but you aren't guaranteed to want to read them.

This is the best book tracking app out there! But it's more than for just tracking. It's community and discussion. It's for personal reading growth. It's for discovering new things. It's motivation. It is everything! download it now and become a Boundling. This will be your new favorite reading companion.

As an avid reader, this is the app I've been searching for all these years. It's completely free, no ads whatsoever (not even self-promotion), and best of all there is no AI or algorithm. It has completely replaced all other social media that I used before, and I find myself engaging in so many thoughtful and organic discussions, not even just about books! It feels like a community rather than just an app, and it's healed my brain.

It would be nice to be able to search within our own libraries as well as search by ISBN. The amount of times I've set the wrong but the same exact book as reading because it's the exact same but it's not the one that's in my library is frustrating because the LISTING is different. Not the edition. This is also a problem because you can't complete quest if you didn't read the RIGHT same exact book on their list.

honestly, best book app. I feel more engagement with my fellow booklovers. I feel much closer to them and I think if you love communicating with other booklovers and finding fellow readers in real time, this is the best app for you. I also like the planning of books that could be a per month goal or yearly goal (it helps avoid pressure if you want to add 1 book at a time and not drop 15 books in one go and realized you're really not in a mood for any of those books).

It was easy to add my books, unfortunately not all of them have images, but when I click on the blank image, "it will fetch it for me". It was very easy to add a book not listed. A lot more simpler than Storygraph, Unbound or Bookmory. It does seem to drag when scrolling. I personally don't care anything about the social aspect of the app, so I can't say whether that feature is good. But overall, it seems easy to use.

Finally a good alternative to Goodreads! Has the necessary features and a flourishing community. I am giving it 3 stars 'cause I think the UI/UX could be improved on massively - it is pretty but more focus could be put on usability. The fonts (cursive headings) should be more accessible/dyslexic friendly. It is not always responsive; scrolling on certain pages, like the Quests page, causes visible lag. I will continue using, but looking forward to future improvements by the developers!

Finally! A reading app that lets me react and infodump in real time while only showing it to the people who want to see it! The chronological feed (no algo) is a blessing, the quests keep me picking up new books and reading just a little bit more (who doesn't want to show off a shiny new badge), and the community is so kind and encouraging! Pagebound is everything I didn't know I wanted in a reading app.

I have been using this app for roughly a year. I've tried most than a few other reading apps but this one is by far my favourite. There are no ads. The things that are behind pay walls are so miniscule that it does not affect the experience at all, they are actual added bonuses instead of 90% of everything else. Its relatively easy to figure out and it gives plenty of opportunities to venture out of your comfort zone if you'd like.

Love this app so much. I actually discover new books that I've never heard of before. The read-alongs have encouraged me to not only read more, but to read books outside of my usual genres AND encourages me to participate in discussions. The anonymity as well helps me feel more comfortable sharing my thoughts and reactions. This app is amazing and I've been reading more in the past month and a half than I have in years because of it.

Finally found a book app that I'm excited to use! The firm anti-ai stance is what brought me here and the gorgeous design is what really sealed the deal. I'm also surprised how much I'm liking the social aspect of it! The whole app feels very cozy and fun to use. I love the color coding based on the reading status. Beautiful work! So far I'm only missing a bit more avatar options, maybe in some different styles as well :)

I have such a great time using pagebound. There's no ads, the application does not feel clunky or glitchy at all, and it literally does not look or feel like an indie application. And it's just great bonuses that this is women-run and anti-AI. Almost all the English books I have read are available on here, I am not sure about the extent of support for vernacular literature though.

super cute and great features. I can tell the creators are readers. my favorite features are the "plan ahead", which let's you plan what books you'll read each month. I also love the recommended users, I can easily follow similar readers. I find new books SO much easier on this than other apps. and as a gamer, I LOVE the quests and the badges!! it is also so aesthetic 🤍✨️

This is the best app for readers made by readers. The app is constantly updated with new features. I love the quests, book forums, and the unimportance of follower counts. It's purely reading and discussing books with other readers. I've been searching for an alternative to Goodreads and finally my search is over! I barely go to GR anymore, and starting next year will completely stop using it. Thank you Jennifer and Lucy for this wonderful app!

Such a well-designed, functional app that is an absolute joy to use. I love getting a bit of eye candy every time I open it up, it's just so pretty! Very straightforward for book-tracking - the no frills approach suits me. The social component strikes a good balance between allowing for open discussions and a growing repertoire of options that allow you to customise your feed. 💛💜💙💚

It's fine, the theme is definitely something to get used to after not seeing a site like that since early 2010. Currently, I'm a little annoyed that I can't import using a normal CSV since not everything is on Goodreads and you're only guaranteed your list will be imported if you use Goodreads. StoryGraph is here but if the book isn't already in their database it doesn't get requested like with a Goodreads link it just gets skipped over.

definitely a work in progress! looks very promising, but is still early enough that I find it inconvient compared to StoryGraph. I will be sticking with it due to firm stances on AI integration, but it's still somewhat lacking as far a book tracker. my main issue is the inability to filter results such as by format type. some format versions, particularly audiobooks are not listed but that will be better with time I expect.

First of all, I would like to say thank you so much to the developer for creating such a comfortable and cute reading place. It's changed me from years of using Goodreads. The app is so simple, clean, and minimalist. I'm really enjoying this platform so far. Hopefully, there will be no ads in the future and it can be used for free and it would be better if the developer added some features such as filtering the ratings of the books, or how many pages that has been read.

username: Bluehairedboy So I'm not the type of person to leave a review but I wanted to leave one for PageBound because this is honestly the cutest book tracking app on the planet. I love the way it's so intuitive to use. I love the reddit type forums and the fact that this app is based on community and shared love for reading more than anything. Most importantly, it's ANTI AI so any recs you're getting, you're getting from a community. I can't wait for what's in store for the roadmap.

The cutest book app ever! I really like the half-star rating, the monthly/yearly reading plans, and so much more that this app has: emojis to describe the book you're reviewing, recommendations from people all over the world, DNF and paused options (which goodreads doesn't have), shelfs and lists you can make, quests to earn points and get cute badges (which will be visible on your profile!!) and the best thing is that it's anti-AI and also made by women who love to read! Girl power! 💪🏻❤️

It's a book tracking app that focuses on discussion and community more than which special edition of the book you read and such. I love that it has no AI features and is owned by People and not the big bad Corporation. I feel like it has the potential to be a good platform to collect the conversations on the books we read if more people sign up! I look forward to the future developments of the app/website.

This app is absolutely beautiful! there are so many features I don't even know where to begin. I think my favorite is that when you're in the forms there are spoilers and those spoilers are blurred!! I love that! I can see that there's a post and I can choose if I'm going to go into that. The aesthetics and ease of use are just amazing!!

Although the app is new, and, admittedly, I have had an issue or two, I'm giving this app 5 stars because it just released so it gets some slack aaaaaaand I love it so much. How many different ways you can rate a book and how much more specifically you can do it is just amazing. I also love how there is a dnf and tbr list. AND that you can plan your books for months ahead. Plus, although I wouldn't blame them if they did later on, there are no ads!!!

I've been using Pagebound website for a while now, and am so happy the App is now available. Things to Love: - "Current Reads" are featured at the top of the landing page for the App, so you can quickly update where you're up to in the book, post a thought "from X%", and review when done. - Book "Quests" - The colour schemes! 😍🥹 Pagebound to me feels more community minded, but also works for those who prefer just to use a platform to track their reading. Love it!

Pagebound is the perfect social book app. Community focused, inclusive, a great way to make friends and discover new books. it takes everything missing from other book trackers, and then makes standard features 100 times better. I have made new friends, discovered new favourite books I never would have known about otherwise, and has simply been one of the best things I've been a part of this year. Anti-Ai, indie, and female owned, Pagebound is a must have for all readers.

Pagebound is the most beautiful, modern, sleek reading app I have ever used. The founders prioritize community, discussion, and connection and it shows in every choice and every new upgrade. No AI, no algorithm, no advertisements or promotions, just discussing the books you love with a friendly and welcoming community. Pagebound turned my doomscrolling into joyscrolling!

Very grateful that a reading app has been made for readers by readers! I have been using the desktop version for the past few months and at first I was nervous about switching from Goodreads (which would update my reading status without me having to do anything). I thought I would fall behind on tracking what I was reading if it wasn't an automated process, but that hasn't been the case! Whenever I start or finish a book I get excited to go manually enter in the information!

Pagebound is a great platform to track and discuss reading and listening to books! The app version has the same features and capabilities as the Pagebound mobile/browser version. The app interface looks nice, is user-friendly, and works well! There are no ads or annoying notifications. You can create an account or use Google credentials to log into the app. There is no AI anywhere in or used by the app, and the app doesn't need any access to your phone data.
