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!
Very good app!
The designs are thoughtful - with flashcards to remember new words and make notes of information for long term memory. It would be nice if the icon is fully customisable and if there is more notetaking layout options.
Also a little pricey. But so far, happy with the subscription.

I’m actually sad
I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and really enjoyed tracking my reading and knowing how much I’ve read throughout the years but the app continues to get worse and unfortunately I can’t continue to pay for something that is no longer meeting my expectations.
have to pay
good app and great concept, however i’m saddened by the fact that non paying users are only allowed three reading sessions a week!?!? insane, almost discourages reading which i feel defeats the purpose of the app. feels elitist like sorry i don’t want to pay $80 for an app.
Reading Sessions
Wish I was able to have more than 3 reading sessions with the free version but overall an awesome app.
Great tracker!
Love using this to track my reads but would love to be able to change the progress from pages to minutes for audiobook formats.
Sehr zu empfehlen
Ich finde die App richtig cool und wie man die Bücher trocken kann super das einzigste was mich stört ist das man nicht alle gelesenen Seiten jeden Zag eintragen kann sondern nur 3 glaube pro Woche. Sonst ist die App aber sehr gut
You have to Pay to Use
They let you get all the way through to logging onto Amazon or Goodreads then tell you it will cost you to go further. Scam!
Missing title image 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 🤦♂️

Not functioning properly
I’m a lifetime subscriber who has seen the app degrade over time. Reading sessions don’t work. The app won’t track anything, and the sessions can’t be manually entered either. It is hit or miss which books it works for.
The developer asks for feedback, says he’ll support the product, by multiple support tickets over the last year have gone ignored (except for the auto email that says he’ll get to you shortly!).
I’m giving two stars for the idea. Sadly execution is not there. Don’t be like me. Use the free version. Or better yet, find an app that works as promised.

Very disappointed
Take my info before letting me know how much it costs. And then no way to delete my information. Pretty scammy
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!!
