User reviews

Facile d’utilisation

J’ai presque 2000 livres, ça me permet de garder un inventaire et de savoir où j’en suis. C’est un peu dispendieux, mais j’y trouve mon compte.

Response from developer

Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour vos gentils mots. Nous sommes ravis que l'application vous aide à garder l'inventaire d'une si grande collection. Nous aimerions savoir ce qui en ferait une expérience 5 étoiles pour vous. N'hésitez pas à nous contacter via la section Aide de l'application.

Very handy app

I use this app to keep track of my daughter’s seasonal books to make sure that we don’t end up with doubles. It’s also great for tracking a book collection for a young child to share with relatives, so they can see what books they already have.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you so much for the kind words. It's lovely to hear the app helps you manage your daughter's collection and makes it easy to share with relatives. If you ever have questions or ideas, feel free to reach out via the Help section in the app.

Best Book App Ever

I’ve tried a couple other options but this one hands down is best to date. I loaded a huge number of books so quickly that it hooked me right away.

The original and still the best!

I’ve used Bookshelf for years and it’s still the best book tracking app I’ve found. There seem to be more and more new apps appearing in this space, but Bookshelf has been around for 6–7 years and it shows. It feels like an app that has actually done its homework: the features are genuinely useful, the book data is excellent, and there’s a huge amount of depth and customisation once you start using it properly.

What I particularly like is that it seems focused on making the app better rather than chasing whatever happens to look good or generate hype at the moment. New features are added regularly, but the fundamentals are really solid. If you actually have a lot of books and want to catalogue, organise and keep track of them properly, this is the one.

Lots of apps can make a pretty virtual bookshelf. Bookshelf actually helps you manage a real one.

Great app for listing your books

We use this app to keep track of the books we have read. So far we have saved over 750 book titles. We can make notes on each book. You can scan the ISBN to enter or do a manual entry.
