ABOUT THE DEVELOPER

Stanislav Rastvorov, Stan to everyone, has been an independent developer
since 2015. Must Read began in 2016 because his sister was keeping track
of her reading in the Notes app, having tried the book apps and liked
none of them, so he built her one. The name was chosen together.

Ten years on it is still one person's app. He writes the code, picks the
curated lists for 24 countries, localises the app into 32 languages,
answers the support mail and reads the press address himself.

He was born in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, and has lived in London since
March 2022, which is why the app's fox is a London fox: the city is full
of them, and they are clever.

QUOTE, FREE TO USE AS WRITTEN

"A reading app has one job: get you back into the book. The timer, the
streak, the lists and Rufus exist to make the next page more likely, and
then to get out of the way." - Stanislav Rastvorov, founder
