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.

Les développeurs sont à l’écoute!

My shelf

It’s a great item to keep all my books in a nice place.

Great way to scan library

Super helpful app for scanning your personal library

Books in your pocket

I really like the app. It will replace my manual Excel spreadsheet process that I’ve used in the past. I like the inputting options and the ability to add tags and categories. It’s great to have all my read books on my phone when I’m visiting the library or a bookstore. I do wish there was an option on the main books screen to see my rating and read date instead of the publication date.

Manage your books!

This app has helped me have a much easier way to record what books I have and be able to check when looking through book sales and not come home to find have it already!
Also log what I have as have some unusual books that are hard to find and now have a list of what I have in case something happens to them!

Excellent App

This app is great. It helps me keep tack of which books I own. It even allows you to check out books to friends and keeps track of when they are to return it to you.

An App That Tracks it All

Easy to add and organize books, track start and finish dates, document reviews, notes, and quotes. I don’t like to write directly in my books, so I use the app instead.

Finally I can keep track of my library

As a book hoarder I have had that embarrassing moment when I go to place my new purchase on my to read shelf only to realise I have now bought 2 copies. I have family who are happy to benefit from my errors, but still…

The game changer of Bookshelf over other apps is the scanning to add books. The ability to batch scan and the speed of the process is a massive timesaver, especially when using the shelf sorting system and focusing on a specific category.

I am still in the process of cataloging my books, but I am already very happy to have a way to keep track of my collection, as well as having a full catalogue on hand if I want to lend or recommend books to others, to remind myself of which books I need in a series, and so many book related queries. I use the tags for genres, to note the ones read for a purpose, eg. book club, study, vacations etc, to record my autographed copies and make it easier to find them. Most importantly , I can record the significance of the books I treasure, eg. inherited from my late dad’s shelves, or gifts from significant friends.

Basically, Bookshelf is a useful tool for a home library, and is a lot faster than building a card catalogue, and cheaper than buying the same book twice 😁

Love it

Have been using this app for years just to track what I’ve read each year and I love it - really easy to use, no fuss, no ads. Thanks to the developers

Love this app!

I use this app to keep up with the books I’ve collected because I was constantly buying dupes. There are so many other things you can do. I sometimes use it to print my list out and organize them the way I prefer.

One of Those Apps…

First, I have way too many books (wife says), I say there is no such thing as too many books. So, I love being able to keep a virtual library card system of what I have. I have had this app now for 2 years, and it is one of those apps that just works. In fact it works so well that I don’t even think about it. When I open it, I don’t think, “how does this work?” When I add a new book, I don’t think, “how do I do this?” When I check to see my library I don’t worry about the data being lost. It just works every time! It’s one of those apps in the best way.

Comment

All I can say is that using the app can be confusing and difficult to maneuver, but once you figure it out it’s great.

Amazing app!

So great to have my books organized. If I’m out and I see something it’s so easy to check and see if I already have it. Keeps me from getting duplicates.

Best app ever

Love this app to organize books I have. Helps me keep track of everything.

Organize by series

Pretty good-glad to have all my books on an app so I don’t buy duplicates. But it lacks in the organization department. I’d love it to sort books by author and series

Really enjoying this app

I have enjoyed using this app for almost a year now. Keeping track of all the books I own. It has come in really handy. The only thing I don’t like is, it sometimes doesn’t scan the books and you have to manually put them in, But other then that it’s probably the best app out there for keeping your books organized.

Great tool for book lovers!

Helps keep track of books read and favorite authors.

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.

Love it, so helpful

I have the free version and absolutely love it. It helps keep me from buying duplicate books when I am out shopping.
