  • Pretty good

    Would be great if other rating options were available no matter what genre the book is. Eg being able to add a horror or unhinged rating to romance books or having dark romance as a genre
  • Looking forward to better development in the future

    I was really excited for this app while it’s a great idea and I see where it could be for the avid reader/book community it needs a lot more work to be a well run app. Trying to search books is a struggle by either book or author. You couldn’t give us better bookshelf base colours than red and green? I love Christmas but not all year round and I’m not gonna pay for different colours if the app doesn’t run well. Let us be able to customize it better so we’re excited to open it up and see the colours/design and add all our books and see our pretty bookshelf as we add to our yearly reads. I will definitely try this app again in the future when it’s developed better but for now I’ve removed it.

  • I love this app!

    I really love this app! It’s fun and easy to use. You get a cute little bookshelf you can customize and add plants to your shelves.
  • Such a lovely app

    I haven’t been using this app often but it such a great app! Whenever I want to find a new book to read but want to look at some ratings of it before buying it, I immediately click into this app and search it to see what the ratings for it are and it is such a helpful tool. I love getting to put all the books I want to read into a shelf and I love that you can make different shelves for whatever you’d like(genre, series, etc.). Overall, this app is the actual cutest and best thing I've gotten recently. The pro version is honestly such a good investment as well and I haven’t even finished the free trial part. Definitely recommend this to anyone that wants or needs to organize their books digitally.

  • Crashing on open

    This app was great for the first week, but now it crashes on open every time I try to open it. I spent a lot of time entering the books I’ve read over the past few years along with my wish list and recommended reads. I just updated my first “In progress” read to complete and now the app crashes every time I open it. I attempted to report an issue, but that is not an option with the free version. I am thankful I had this issue now because I was considering making the one time lifetime purchase after being so pleased with the app. I would have been very upset if I started having this issue after making the purchase. Onto the next app.

    Update: the developer responded that a bug report can be made in the app as a free user, but that doesn’t work if you can’t open the app because it crashes on open. I did try deleting and reinstalling the app and lost all my data.

  • Love it but needs improvement

    I was so happy when i found this app. I think its so cute and the lay out is very well done. I was bummed when i started having issues with it randomly crashing/shutting down. It also just happens at complete random, i could be doing a rating, marking a book as read or simply typing in the search bar. This happens so often it basically makes the app unusable. I know is a fairly new app so i have high hopes that this will be fixed eventually and when it does i will go back and start using it again but for now its not worth the effort when it continues to crash so often and randomly.

    A few suggestions for future versions/updates.
    1. Giving us the option to create a log in would be nice, I think there is a way to link it to icloud but i would prefer a log in.
    2. Multiple genre selection! 90% of books put there are a combination of different genres, for example romantasy (romance & fantasy) so having the option to select multiple genres would be an awesome feature.
    3. I love that the option of format is there but can we add the option for paperback, hardcover and special edition as well. Bonus also a TW (Trigger Warning) button.
    4. Font options for the bookshelf books.

    I know this a fairly new app and i have really high hopes for it, there is a lot of potential, just needs some work but i will patiently wait and when its all sorted i will definitely continue to use it.

  • Phenomenal

    The only thing I would add is a friends feature so that you can see other peoples bookshelves. Then it’d be perfect.
  • LOVE this app!!

    This app is perfect for those who love to read on apps and physical books! I have had to mark some books as read that just to make sure I reached my goal on apps before but I can input the correct book on this app! I enjoy the TBR tab so I can keep track of my ebook and physical tbr. I love the way it breaks down the reviews, so it makes you really pinpoint favorites about the book. It does allow you to use DNF’s towards your goal, but I chose not to just because I usually know if I’m going to DNF pretty early on. The themes for the bookshelf are so cute and the plant choices for the bookshelf are even cuter! And if the book you need isn’t in the app, you can add it, along with the picture of the cover. If you chose to keep the default, that’s cute too because it chooses the main color of the book and you get a splash of color on your shelves. 10/10 would recommend!!!

  • Love it for book tracking

    I love the little bookshelf and the reviewing, adding all the tropes is such a fun idea. The only suggestion is to accommodate audiobooks in the currently reading to also track progress for those types on there- it’s not a major thing. I really enjoy this app and can’t wait to reach my goal and see all the books on the bookshelf
