A man stands in a vivid blue studio, leaning over a blue pedestal that holds a blue App Store Awards trophy marked with the white App Store icon. He wears a tan jacket and looks directly at the camera. The white Apple logo and text “App Store Awards — 2025 Winner” appear on the front of the pedestal. In the top-right corner, The StoryGraph logo is displayed.A pink background features an illustrated person perched on top of an extremely tall, wobbly stack of books, happily reading another book held in their hands. Above them is a five-star rating and the bold, hand-drawn quote “ELEVATE YOUR READING EXPERIENCE.” At the bottom, the StoryGraph logo appears on the left and the Apple App Store Awards logo on the right.

We’ve been nominated as a finalist in the 2025 Apple App Store Awards! 🎉 We’re being recognised in the Cultural Impact category for our work in building an inclusive book community. The winners will be announced in the coming weeks.

A teal square graphic framed by a thick rounded white border. Centered at the top is the white Apple logo above the words "App Store Awards" in white text, with "2025 Finalist" written underneath. Below that sits an app icon resembling a bookshelf: a rounded grey square containing three vertical black book spines, with the rightmost book leaning slightly, and a black horizontal line beneath them to represent a shelf.

I’ve launched a YouTube channel! 🎥 It’s where I’m sharing the mix of coding, workouts, dancing, and reading that keeps me balanced and having fun while growing The StoryGraph as a one-woman dev team. Take a look and subscribe here → www.youtube.com/@nodunayo

I just started this audiobook, The Rainbow Ain’t Never Been Enuf by Kaila Adia Story It has such important information in it, it’s really good so far 💕 I went over to StoryGraph to track it, and then read my personalized preview… It was like yeah, you already know you’re going to love this book 😂

The Rainbow Ain’t Never Been Enuf by Kaila Adia StoryStoryGraph personalized review stating the book aligns with the reader’s interest in intersectional social justice themes, particularly seen in the reader’s high ratings of nonfiction exploring racism, disability justice, and LGBTQIA experiences. The reader consistently engages with critical analyses of systemic oppression and appreciates works challenging mainstream narratives, which matches this book’s core thesis debunking myths of LGBTQ+ solidarity through a Black queer feminist lens.

Over the last few weeks, StoryGraph has been hit by a large, coordinated DDoS campaign designed to knock our service offline. Nadia and I have been working around the clock to keep StoryGraph up and running. Sorry for the slowdowns and outages lately. We should have a new solution in place soon!

StoryGraph has a new barcode scanner! It's an in-house solution that's a lot more accurate, and allows you to scan the front cover. Let us know if it's an improvement for you!

We've upgraded the StoryGraph Preview and Personalized Preview. If you use these features, let us know how this new version compares to the old one! Instead of more general feedback, we are specifically interested in knowing if this is an improvement for you, about the same, or if it got worse.
