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 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.

Mockup for upcoming tweaks to the StoryGraph homepage. It presents various components like the "Current Reads" section with books displayed side by side, each with a circular progress bar indicating the reading progress. Annotations around the layout suggest changes like smaller streak text, fully clickable progress bars, bottom-aligned books for a tidier look, and stronger arrow contrast for navigation. There's also a move to eliminate overwhelming numbers from the UI, replacing them with simpler, time-based phrases. Adjustments to the layout of book recommendations aim to utilize space more effectively by using a two-column layout for a less cluttered appearance. The recommended books are shown in larger covers for easier readability and the interface colors are tweaked to be easier on the eyes, with a note pointing out new, easier on the eyes green. The overall design is organized and labeled clearly with notes and arrows pointing out the specific updates for clarity.

An image of the Apple App Store top apps chart for books. StoryGraph is the second most downloaded app behind Goodreads, and ahead of Audible.
The image features a promotional graphic for StoryGraph titled "New Year, New Reading Journey." It displays a hand-drawn illustration of a small character circling the Story Graph logo on a calendar page, with "2025" written in the top right corner. The character stands on a pushpin platform, using a red marker for circling. The style is playful and sketch-like. The background is simple, adorned with scattered stars and paper airplane drawings, adding to the whimsical atmosphere. The text on the image states, "We've got fun updates coming all January! Give us the month to keep you around. Don't love us by Jan 31st? Delete your data in just 3 clicks."

Screenshot of the bottom of the new "Advanced Recommendations Search" menu on StoryGraph. The '500+' pages box has been checked. Then there's a free-text box labelled: "Themes/Topics/ Tropes" with the subtitle: "For the best results, keep content in this box to a comma-separated list." Inside the box is the text: "Campus setting, cliques, dark academia". There are two checkboxes underneath labelled "Don't show me books in my To-Read Pile" and "Don't show me books I own". Then there's a green "Search" buton.
