Hey you, rejoice with us as we reveal this release's updates
April 4, 2025
Incredible things are happening over at Bookends. Since we've launched the paid beta, we now have almost 80 users joining the fight to build better habits! This means we're receiving more feedback than ever and are working hard to make this the perfect reading companion for you and your goals. Read about this release's updates and who built them below. Huzzah!
Elias
VP of Vibes - "Yung E Money"
This week, Elias squashed a bug that was causing the date picker on the insights tab to increment by day and not by week. Now you can click through your weekly stats easier than ever. Magnificent!
Andy
Ideas Guy - "Andy from tha Block"
Andy worked on the capability to add custom books. Apparently there are books that exist outside the ISBN catalog (e.g. stuff by indie publishers). Who knew??? Now you can add custom books by navigating to the add book flow, searching for a book, and selecting the option to enter a book manually.
Chad
Chief Technology Weeb - "Chris Ross"
Chad took on the major task of fixing any bugs that Elias & Andy introduced as well as patched an issue where users still received "Streak at Risk" notifications even if they had already read for the day. Unequivocally bussing!
Make sure you have the latest version of Bookends in the Testflight App to catch these updates and more.
Thanks for reading, until next time!
