Larissa Runkle is the founder and sole author of Readingapps.online, where she helps readers cut through the noise and find the apps that genuinely fit how they read.
Like a lot of people, Larissa wanted to read more but kept losing her place across devices, forgetting which books she had finished, and paying for apps that promised everything and delivered little. So she started testing them, one by one. Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Libby, Audible, StoryGraph, and plenty of lesser-known apps that rarely make the popular roundups. Along the way, she learned the one thing most “best app” lists never admit: there is no single perfect app, only the right stack for the way you read.
That belief shapes everything on this site. Every guide is based on real, hands-on testing and written in plain language, with honest pros and cons rather than hype. Larissa’s goal is simple: that every reader who lands here leaves knowing exactly which app to download next. When she is not writing or testing the latest update, she is reading, often two or three books at once across formats, and always on the lookout for the next great story.
