Not worth the money
Good idea but not free, have to enter everything in every time you add and it’s not worth it. I like that you can add if it’s paperback or hardcover but that’s about it
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.
Where do I read the books I’m deleting this app
Um where do I read this book
Very useful and easy to navigate
I found this app a couple years ago when I was looking for an app that could be just for my personal use to keep track of all the books I own physical copies of.
I have a decent sized personal library of about 1500 books, and I read 75-80 books a year. I wanted a place to track it all that was just for me, and that’s how I found Bookshelf.
I eventually got into the reading tracking feature - it’s fun to see how many pages I read per hour😄 I also really enjoy putting in favorite quotes from the books I’ve read, notes about the story, etc.
Imho, this app is perfect if you just want a solo, nonsocial private log of your reading, what you own, and your reading speeds, etc. Intuitive, easy to use, easy to add books to, etc.
I haven’t always had the paid version, but personally for $30 a year I’ve found it well worth it. I’m very impressed that a single person runs this - I’ve always been able to count on it and it doesn’t glitch or anything. Love this app!!

Incredible App and Developers
This app helped me get back into reading after years of not doing it. It has so many features but the one that had me hooked is the timed reading logs and stats. Knowing how much I time I have left to read and at what reading pace I go has been top notch. Also had an issue and in my case they responded within 5 minutes requesting more info which I provided and gave me a solution within 5 minutes after sending the additional information. Also has an area for future ideas that you can suggest to be implemented. Each one has a reviewing, coming next update, or implemented to track what already being suggested or has been added. This type of caring for its users is what puts them above all other book keeping apps. I already bought into the yearly subscription but will now go for the lifetime upgrade, when I can.

Subscription Based
A great app, but the fact that a subscription is required for most things and you can’t even record every time you read is a let down.
Not good
I’m sorry but this app is awful and I just cancelled my sub, I was so excited about it too. Now I have to find a new app. You keep updating it and it messes up constantly. Just not worth it
Bookshelf
Best reading log available!
Wurde das mit KI programmiert?
Die ganze App hat den Anschein, als wäre sie mit KI gemacht worden. Tausend Schreibfehler, mal „Sie“, mal „Du“. Sie könnte eigentlich ganz nett sein, aber man hat das Gefühl, man hat den Kundenservice eines großes Unternehmens vor sich, bei dem in Asien sitzende Menschen per Google Translate antworten. Ich mein, hier geht es um eine App für Lesende! Da sollte der Anspruch schon etwas höher sein. Die selbe Kritik gibt es offensichtlich schon seit 1-2 Jahren, also gehe ich davon aus, die programmierende KI interessiert es nicht. Ich finde zudem keine Möglichkeit, meinen Account zu löschen!

Bewertung
Die App sollte mehr Jugendbücher anzeigen.
i would rate it higher but
recently, i’ve been coming across a bug. i’ve tried to send in reports, but either my emails haven’t been sending, or they haven’t been responding to my bug reports, so i thought to come here.
i started out loving this app. it’s really interesting to see my reading speed, good to track books i’ve read and are currently reading. however, every time i try and log my progress into a book, it does not register. i’ve tried typing the page number i stopped on, using the little ring thing, closing and opening the app. but it doesn’t work.
i would love to use this app again because it’s super helpful, but this is making me try and find other apps to track my book progress and whatever.

Missing photo in collections
As the title said, i can add photos but it is not visible when i open that collection. Its so frustrating after i paid lifetime subscription.
Also several bugs, because of those i turned off iCloud feature 🤦♂️

Great way to track my reads
I love this app. It helps me recall the titles and authors of all the many books I have read.
At One Time… it was perfect.
I used to LOVE this app. It was my go-to for tracking my reading sessions and cataloguing my library.
But now, it’s loaded with issues. I can no longer pause and resume reading sessions from my lock screen like I used to. It works for a bit but then just stops appearing. I constantly have to re-enter dates from reading sessions as they seem to randomly disappear.
Thankfully I also use another app (one which creates stat cards when you finish a book which I upload onto social media), so I always have a backup of my sessions.
Hopefully the issues get sorted as I would happily re-review this and give it the 5 stars that - until recently - it deserved!

SCAMMED into subscription!
I was offered a 7 Day Free Trial within the app and accepted the offer. Despite being advertised as a FREE trial I was charged 35€ for the yearly subscription without EVER receiving a free trial! I have now requested a refund several times, but the free trial is not visible ANYWHERE. I do not want to be scammed into a year long subscription. This is not okay and the app developer has purposely hidden the 7 day free trial I was shown when I accepted.

Update deleted everything!
This had been a wonderful app to track reading progress etc. I specifically used it to manage a large list of "to read" books. I updated the app and presto five years of reading, notes & information gone. No books listed. No data. Well done bookshelf. Terrible app
