This is my favorite book talk app by far! Fell in love with the web version first. I've ditched Goodreads for good and don't miss it. The fact that every book has a readalong forum, where you can discuss and share your thoughts while reading is my favorite feature. I also really love finding and following fellow readers with a similar taste to mine. The community aspect in general is so good! Here when you post a review or update you'll actually get interactions! No bluechecks required 😉💖

I've been using (and loving) Pagebound in-browser for a few weeks now, eagerly awaiting its app release. today is app release day and it couldn't possibly be more beautiful!!!! this app has lived up to and surpassed every teaser and promo that Jennifer and Lucy have been pushing out on the PB socials. the app version is responsive, intuitive and a visual delight!!!

I've gotten on this app in search of an alternative book tracker to GR and I've never looked back. Not only are the features itself great — forums, list curating(mixtapes but for books), half star ratings, emoji highlights, daily discovery page refresh for recs, seasonal and special readalongs, etc. — Pagebound and its community has cultivated a fun, positive and respectful community to yap away about books. And all of these are gamified! So fun earning points and badges and leveling up!

genuinely THE best book tracking app out there!! i love the design, the reading challenges, and especially the focus on community interaction. there's a great planning feature for sorting our your tbr as well as forums for every book - you can track people's thoughts by %, which makes the reading experience so much more fun!! if you've been looking for a goodreads replacement, this is the one!!

Love this app so far! Happy to know it's from a small developer, does not use AI, and is free from ads! The devs make it easy to report any bugs or issues and they actually listen to their users! I like the community functions and so far it's been a very positive experience. There are still a few small things that could be enhanced, but it's brand new so I imagine they'll patch some bugs soon.

I'm really liking this app so far. I only have one request, please add a way we can keep track of what page we left on. There's already a "my book journey" so being able to see how many pages we've read over time would be so cool. If this is already something you guys are planning on adding, I'm so looking forward to it

I've been a fan of Pagebound for awhile and really enjoyed using the website! The app is just as great and has a stunning interface. If youre a reader and enjoy talking with others about all things books, this is the app for you with tracking, book forums for conversation, badges, and more!

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!!

Nice but import needs work. Just started out and overall very good first impression, nice and easy ui and good features, however the import from my Goodreads completely messed up. It has put everything from my Want to Read into the TBR, together with my actual TBR, so I'll now have to manually go over 400+ books to remove those I don't have, but just want to read. There's also some tags and shelves that messed up. Which is sadly really putting me off getting more into it

There are a couple of issues that still need work: The app is a little glitchy (app is up to date) & has closed a couple of times. I don't understand the +add read dates feature; I wanted to add the dates I'm reading each day but it seems to just want the start and finish dates. A bit confusing. And I entered some of my favourite books, but the ones that came up during the search I didn't like the image of, but if I wanted to add my own image I had to go through Goodreads which I don't have.
