Questions

Questions readers ask

What is AuthorPing?

AuthorPing notifies you when a series or author you love has a new book coming out and shows a countdown to every release. It's free on iPhone and Android.

Is AuthorPing free?

Yes. Following series, release date notifications and release day notifications are free for everyone, with no limit on how many series you follow. Premium adds reminders before release day, new series alerts from authors you follow, a weekly round-up, home-screen widgets and calendar sync, and every new user gets 30 days of Premium free.

How does AuthorPing know when a new book is coming out?

AuthorPing checks the Hardcover book catalogue every day for new books and release dates from the series and authors you follow, and sends you a notification as soon as something changes.

Can I import my Goodreads or StoryGraph library?

Yes. Export your library from Goodreads or StoryGraph as a CSV file and import it in AuthorPing. You choose which series to follow and the books you've read go onto your bookshelf. You can export your AuthorPing library the same way at any time.

Do I need an account?

No. You can start following series straight away. Add an email address only if you want to keep your lists when you change phone.

Will AuthorPing send me lots of notifications?

No. You only hear about the series, authors and books you follow, release day notifications arrive in the morning your time, and nothing is sent overnight. With Premium you can switch to one weekly round-up instead.

Is AuthorPing on iPhone and Android?

Yes, both, with home-screen widgets on each.

Where can I see every upcoming book release?

The upcoming book releases calendar on this site lists the next books from hundreds of popular series and authors, month by month, checked every day.
