Editors’ Choice celebrates the very best apps and games—handpicked by App Store Editors around the world.

It wasn’t until we started using the book tracker StoryGraph that we realized our reading journey had its own tale to tell. No impersonal algorithms suggesting only titles similar to our last read—with StoryGraph, we dictate the plot.

Biggest surprise: When a heated comment thread about our favorite fantasy series spiraled into hostility on other reading and social platforms, we turned to StoryGraph. The app tackles that problem by not allowing comments on reviews, which draws in devoted readers who are up for genuine discussion.

Our favorite discovery: Detailed tags helped us zero in on recommendations that matched our (super-specific) reading vibes, like enemies-to-lovers, sports romances centered on LGBTQ+ characters, and time-travel comedies featuring BIPOC leads.

We knew we loved it when: The Buddy Reads and Readalong modes helped keep members of our book club in sync—so we all gasped in unison when we discovered the culprit in a thrilling whodunit. And the app’s progress checkpoints prevented us from stumbling on spoilers in a group forum, whether we were flipping physical pages, swiping an ebook, or listening to audio.
