About this app
Every month, we bring you a shortlist of the best new fiction we’ve come across, with a mix of books likely to be in your sweet spot as well as intriguing outliers. You pick what speaks to you, we send it your way. We’ll see you again in four weeks. Happy reading :) More than just books: Get access to app exclusive content like reviewing the books you’re loving, tracking your path to rewards, and crushing digital challenges (for IRL prizes). Read with your ears: Fit curated audiobooks from every genre into your commute, errands, trips, chores, and relaxation. We make big breaks happen: We’re committed to celebrating and championing emerging authors. Listen to our authors on our podcast, Virtual Book Tour. This app was designed and developed in-house by Book of the Month in New York, NY.
App details
What you can learn from Book of the Month
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 5 screenshots above are Book of the Month's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
