  • Great app

    This is the only app I’ve found that allows me to add my entire collection without having to pay a subscription fee for the large amount of books I own. It also allows me to add shelves so I could organize my book by which bookcase they are on or each shelf on each bookcase that way It’s easier to locate a specific book within my collection. It also has a place that I can put who I let borrow a book and when I let them borrow it. There is also a feature that allows you to quickly add books by doing a batch scan but it will also tell you if you already have a book within your collection when you scan it. This comes in handy when I’m at the bookstore and can’t remember if I’ve already purchased a book or not.

  • This is the app you are looking for….

    I love this app. If you are looking to keep track of which books and editions you currently own, this is the app for you. I have an extensive collection, and a few incomplete series. This app lets me see which books I have, so I don’t buy the same book twice, as well as keep track of which editions I currently have. It also lets me keep track of my wish list, which I can send to people for my birthday and Christmas. The only draw-back is that people can’t open the lists unless they download the app. Overall, it is a great way to track what you have on your shelves!

  • Perfect app for organizing and cataloging books

    Thank you so much for creating this simply free app for organizing and cataloging all the books I currently have and want . I love that it has a scanner including a batch mode to upload all the books and if a title is incorrect you have the ability to change it . I can even create multiple shelf’s for the all the different categories of books , like cooking , gardening and so on. Best of all there is no limits of how many books you can add or the number of shelves and no annoying ads . Again thank you. Could you create another app just like this for DVDs?

    Thank you for such a great feedback. We are a small team of 2 people and we really appreciate it. Being a small team also means that we can't create another app for DVDs at the moment as we are focusing on making Bookshelf perfect and adding more features. Maybe in the future :)
  • Just what I was looking for

    it does what it says on the tin: a way of keeping your books organised. It takes a while to understand what’s the best way to keep your books, if on shelves or tags, but I guess that depends on the person. Amazing work

    Ps: and if they add something like Spotify’s “this is what you’ve been up to this year”, that’ll make it the absolute best

  • Love this app!

    I buy a every book I can find from my favorite author, and I was sometimes buying doubles because I would come across one and not have a list of which books I owned. I downloaded this app and now anywhere I go it takes two seconds to check if I have the book. It also allows me to keep track of which books I’ve read and what page I stopped on. I’m so happy I found this app!

  • Can you read books on this app

    Can you read online books on this App (as if you were reading an actual book)

    Hi, Bookshelf app is designed to be a tool to organize your home library. You can keep track of your reading progress, share book recommendations etc. but unfortunately you can't read books on this app.
  • Clean and beautifully organized

    I love the bookshelf app! I went through dozens of apps before I found this one. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a clean, beautiful interface where I could keep track of my books and what I have read. I love that you can create bookshelves and organize it in any way that you’d like. I love that there isn’t a huge social emphasis because I’m not interested in that when it comes to my reading apps. Thank you for creating a beautiful and helpful app!

  • The perfect app for cataloging a home library!

    I originally found this when looking for an app that I could use to digitally catalogue all the books in my physical library, and let me tell you that it’s really hard to find one with unlimited storage without having to pay a monthly or yearly fee. But Bookshelf is that app! Not only does it have an unlimited number of books you can add, but is also super easy to use. The batch scanning function is particularly easy to use to scan in a bunch of books at a time. I also really love how it has an option for you to add in a book manually if you can’t find it by scanning or searching, and it’s particularly helpful with old books that don’t have bar codes or an ISBN. I can’t think of a single thing I would change about it!

    Thanks for your feedback! Really happy to see that you you enjoy using our app :)
  • Really superb, just one request!

    This app is fantastic and I am extremely picky (and tried all the other ones on the app store before committing!). The interface is so easy to use and it works like a dream. It has great functionality and it’s so nice to be able to sort by my own tags - I feel I have lots of control!

    The only thing I’d like to change is to be able to upload my own photos for the shelves icons (to further help differentiate between shelves) rather than the icon be the cover of the first book in the list. But a small thing compared to how great the app is overall!

    Thanks for your feedback! We will try to improve based on your suggestion :) EDIT: You can now upload your own photo for each bookshelf/tag
  • Beautiful Book App!

    I have been searching for years for a book app that is not only beautiful to look at but also has all the right features. This is it! I’m absolutely floored that it’s free. But happily signed up to be a member to support the developer. An added bonus that I’ve never seen in any of the other book apps is that you can set up Price alerts for books in your wish list. A feature I didn’t know that I needed.
