  • Love it so far!

    I actually really enjoy this app. It helps me keep track of the books I’ve read and if I wanna recommend a book to a friend, just makes everything a bit more easier. Allows me to rate the books, add my favorite quotes, and write a little summary of my thoughts.
    Another great thing, it lets me keep a TBR list, so I can know what books to look for when I’m at the store.
    Overall, I love it so far!

  • Can’t see ratings beforehand

    The whole reason I downloaded this was to finally see different kinds of ratings rather than just stars before wanting to read a book. So really this is no different and actually far less useful than something like Goodreads.

    Hi! TBR - Bookshelf is a book tracker app that allows you to rate books you have already read based on spicyness and/or fluffiness. It’s not a social media app. Thank you for letting us know that you would like to see more ratings from other users beforehand! We will look more into adding this kind of feature into the app :)
  • Love the app but…

    My star rating will go up as I use the app. I did just install it.
    I am so far finding that when I am looking up books and reading what they are about the text is not able to be enlarged by stretching my screen as I would usually do when reading tiny text. If this could be fixed or enlarge the standard text you are using I’m hands down loving the app with no complaints. But with such tiny text on my bad eyes would be the only reason I would stop using it so far. Please enlarge or allow the images to be manipulated so that my phone can enlarge it. Thanks!

  • Easy to use

    I loaded my TBR list from my journal in no time. I was able to read what each book was about and decide if it should go in the list. I love it!
  • glitchy but good

    Absolutely love the rating system, it has everything i’d want to note down on a review and allows half stars which tops goodreads. There’s also a currently reading & TBR section - super organised and easy to access.

    On the down side, I’ve been having a constant glitch whenever i click on the ‘read’ and ‘goals’ section. Every time it glitches me out of the app so i’m unable to check them. It’s not a big deal since i already know which books i’ve read but it is a little irritating

  • A few suggestions

    I haven’t tried it too much yet, but loving what I’ve tried so far but do have a couple of suggestions for things I’ve run across!

    1. I just wish there was a way to add things into a series — like if I’ve read 1, 2 & 3 in a series, I’d like to be able to say which one is 1, 2 or 3 and to be able to say which series they’re from as I own so many!
    2. If also love a subcategory within the “Other” category so I can add a note as to whether it’s manga or sci-fi etc
    3. If like you be able to scan or type in the book’s barcode so the app can figure out what cover/edition I have and to narrow down the amount of books popping up in the search function

  • Worth it

    I usually hate apps that are free but have a paid aspect. You really aren’t missing too much with this. You can still create a TBR list, and my favorite part is the book shelf. I am considering paying for the payed part to track the books I’m currently reading. Not very many glitches and easy to find new books to read as well.

  • Love the app but scared of losing my logged info

    I’ve had the app for a couple of months and I love it! It’s so satisfying seeing all my completed reads and I enjoy the rating system. However I just realized that there isn’t a way to save all of the info you log on. I’ve put a lot of my thoughts down when I finish a book and I’m terrified of my phone breaking or something and then losing everything. I wish there was a way to have your own account that you can log into to keep everything secure.

    Hi Krysta! So glad that you’ve been enjoying the app so far! We understand your concerns and we will be working on this on a future update. Thank you for leaving a review :)
  • Just one slight problem

    I just got it and it’s pretty good so far except when I was putting in the books I have already read it said that I finished them today but I could Change it. The only problem it that I don’t know the exact date when I read the books so it would be better if the date was an optional thing. Other than that the app is good.

    It’s also really good that they respond to the reviews, shows that they care. 👍🏾

  • Disappointed!!!

    So when I first downloaded this app I was really excited because I saw the video on Tiktok of how easy it was to keep track of all the books that you want to read and or have read and also the setup was cute. So I thought let’s give it ago. But the fact you have to pay for this app is ridiculous, you are able to input one book and then boom you have to pay for it. That’s unreal. At this point people just use Goodreads it’s free and they actually have all the books inputted already so you don’t have to do it yourself.
