What's New in Bookshelf

2.18.18

July 19, 2026

[UPDATED] Better Book Scanning - Barcode scanning is more reliable, and scanned books now load more complete book details and cover images. [FIXED] This update also improves reading sessions and Live Activity syncing, recommendation filters, custom cover photos, author sorting, and overall stability. As always, I love hearing from you - tell me what you'd like to see next via the in-app Feedback or Roadmap (find both in Stats -> Settings). Happy reading!

User reviews

My favorite app!

It’s starting to run slow (possible from everyone finally catching on to its greatness) but I love this app. It was the first book app I had downloaded and I’ve been loyal ever since.

Wish it had more social aspect

This is the most perfect, smooth book tracker to date. I use it for solo tracking but it would also be nice if it had a way that we could build community and have discussions in one app.

LOVE! Couldn’t be better

This is the best app if you’re an avid book reader. You can track your reading sessions, record notes/quotes, search books, build different lists. It’s extremely user friendly and provides cool reading stats. I did pay for the lifetime access. Worth every penny.

Great app, but hardly useable without subscription

This app is awesome — I was so excited to use it when I first found it to help me keep track of my reading. But I discovered that it is almost unusable unless you pay for the premium subscription. Your reading tracking is cut off without it, and it is frustrating. The app should have more useable features without having to spend monthly or pay a ton yearly.

1000/10

I’ve been using this app for 2 years now, and I absolutely love it. I wish there was more of a buildable shelf or a better Home Screen vs search screen. It’s absolutely helped my reading, I went from barely reading to topping 6 or 7 books in a month!
