What's New in Bookshelf

2.18.17

July 10, 2026

[UPDATED] Better Book Search - Find the right books more reliably with improved search results, more complete book data, and higher quality cover images. Goodreads imports and recommendations should also show cover images more consistently. Searches now run after you submit your full query for more accurate results. [FIXED] Lots of performance improvements and bug fixes in this one. 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!

Would be so much better if it imported from Audible

No way am I going to try to manually import all of my audiobooks. It’s too much work. This app is reasonably acceptable but I wish it imported the correct book format from Amazon. It isn’t 100% accurate when scanning the barcodes, so usually have to edit the information. And take photos of book covers. Those often don’t come over, even through the designer says he’s made a change.

Avis

Bonne appli en général, mais beaucoup de difficulté depuis le début de l’année à entrer et sauvegarder le temps depuis lecture et de pages lues.

Good but NOT Great

Love the ease of use to track books that I have and what I need/want.
Wish it would auto collect series together, similar to the authors.
Wish there was a website I could log into on my PC to help with buying next set of books and to stack on there as well.
Wish it could communicate with my library to show what I can borrow from them as well.

Once again, good app but would like more. Especially if I were to put money into it. $30/year (rounding up) is too much just to manually put more than 3 series together.

Minor Suggestion

I like how easy it is to scan a bunch of books. I wish there were a way to add tags to a book or to add the book to a collection when adding it for the first time. It would save a lot of time as one collects books or when updating one’s library.
