Best reading log app

I’ve tried every other reading app and non of them have been this amazing. I love how community based this app is and how the creators actually listen to their users. I never thought I’d pay for an app subscription but I use Pagebound every day and think the subscription is absolutely worth the money. Thank you to the two amazing women who have created this phenomenal reading app 🫶🫶

Top of the line book tracking app

This app is better than Good Reads, StoryGraph and Fable combined! The creators are constantly update the app and seeking feedback from the users. I now use only one app where I was having to use multiple. Love the app and the community ❤️

Won’t go back

After years of using Goodreads I switched to Pagebound and have never looked back. Not only does it have more features, you can tell that the developers are readers themselves and think through which features are added. I highly recommend Pagebound over other platforms and love that it is AI-free

I love this app so much.

Listen listen listen. This is the one. Go ahead and download it. I love this app so much. It’s almost been a year and it is the only reading app I use. I used to jump around from library thing to good reads to storygraph but this one ticks all of my boxes. The support is top notch and the community is full of a whole bunch of bookworms that respect and love books and are funny and thoughtful as hell. You come across a random weirdo or two every now and again and then you can just block and mute and all is well in the world 😭.

Using Pagebound has grown muscles in my brain. And I’ve read and discovered so many books I never would have touched had I not discovered a subsequent quest featuring that book or seen how excited it makes fellow Pagebound users.

And speaking of QUESTS.
I love the quests, shelves, forums, and how they have essentially gamified reading. I’m a fan and a royalty subscriber but get this!!! You don’t have to pay to still get access to the best of the best functionalities and features of the app. I finally became a royalty member after MONTHS of being just fine. HOWEVER, once the monthly stats and wrapped feature dropped I wanted a little more access to my stats that the royalty members get. And it’s been worth
e v e r y penny. As someone who loves books and reading and who loves people who loves books and reading, this app makes me so happy. I’m grateful! And I’m having the time of my life.

amazing interface and collection!!

honestly 100% would beat fable if they add a clubs feature but i love ittt

Better than other book trackers

I absolutely fell in love with this app. In my opinion, it’s way better than all other apps and you can tell the developers really care and listen to users’ feedback.

Negativity

Some of the users are quite mean to others, which is expected, but the lack of action from developers isn’t. Social media platforms need moderators especially when the age range is so large.

i love it!

this app is truly my favorite app like, ever. it’s so aesthetically pleasing, super easy to maneuver and i love the forum feature. it’s honestly made book tracking fun again!

LOVE IT

This is literally my FAVORITE app! It’s so fun to see what other people are saying about the books I am reading. I’ve never felt community like this on the Internet before.

Super applications

Application avec des défis, une vraie communauté et des recommandations. Plus sympa (et indépendant) que Goodreads. Possibilité de créer des listes de lecture pour les autres

LOVEEE THIS!!

This app is amazing, its so user friendly, you have a lot of options to courage your own lists, collecting badges through quests and readalongs is so much fun and its insanely pretty.
Highly recommend this app to any bookworms out there!

Toxic and bad UI

The community on this app is horribly toxic if you express any form of disagreement for mainstream book opinions or give minor constructive criticism to the founders. The bright colors are loved by some people (not me) but the actual app design is extremely overwhelming and bad from a professional UI/UX experience. Not worth the hype and there are much better indie and AI free reading trackers out there

Lovely app

I love the clean UI of this app and how simple it is to read. I also love that it’s focused on books and discussions of books!! So great.

Everything you need in a tracker

Lovely, warm community. No paywalled features, and they actually respond to user requests! Cannot wait for even more users. Goodreads doesn’t hold a candle to Pagebound.

forget goodreads, this is the new it girl of book tracking apps!!

this app release is honestly the best thing that could've ever happened to me. if you're still using goodreads, you're behind. it's long over due to switch besties, and this is the best alternative we could've asked for. female founded, human made, AI-free und just cunty in looks and style. ever felt like you couldn't yap to anyone about your book? the solution is here - switch now and start yapping! you won't regret it, i promise.

okay

I originally wrote a review about how cute the app is and that it’s nice that they take recommendations for improvement. The problem with that is that they really only care about those recs if you pay for the app. I made a suggestion due to a problem I was running into with the UI and was told that I just misunderstood how the app works by the ceo/devs. Unknown to the ceos/developers, I have my degree in graphic design and took a whole semester long class on UX/UI so my recommendation was based on my educated knowledge of how apps should work and feel to users. After being told I just misunderstood how to use the app, months down the road they implemented my exact recommendation which is why I am updating my review. If you are interested in the aspect of this app that it is growing and you can make recommendations, unless you plan on paying for your opinion to matter to the devs, don’t. The vibes of the community overall echo this off putting energy but if you don’t plan on using the social aspect of this social book tracking app as I am then you will be just fine. The selling point for me is that it is an anti ai app and that’s the #1 most important thing for me when using a book tracking app.

Fantastic Book Tracking App

This app is absolutely the best book tracking app out there, with excellent social features, reading “gamification” in the form of fun badges you can earn for reading, and excellent statistics, this constantly evolving app has become my favorite by far!

Love it!

The ability to connect with other readers is the best on this app out of any book app I’ve ever used!

I like it

I like the app I wish it had quarter star rating and when I import it keeps track of my streak from a different app

the best book app

i love this app with a passion, i just wish i had me a widget for my home screen
