Amazing app

I use this app to keep track of all the manga I own and it’s fantastic!!! You can rate the books you have read, organize them and it’s super easy to add your books to. You just scan the barcode into your phone and it uploads everything for you. For being a free app it does so much!!!!

Life saver

No more texting husband “do I already have this???” from the used book store. Love the option for a lifetime subscription because books are forever and now I have a comprehensive catalog. And it’s not Goodreads! Yay.

Easy access

Love that I’m able to see all the books I have in my collection without having to physically go through it.

Extremely useful for book lovers

I love this app. I always knew I had a lot of books, but I never knew how many. After repurchasing a book that I already own, I decided I needed a way to keep track. This app is perfect for that. Now when I’m out and a used book catches my eye, I can double check it isn’t somewhere in my collection already.

Best Virtual Library

The Bookshelf app is an excellent virtual library, especially for tracking your reading and staying organized. It makes it easy to manage your TBR (to-be-read) list, track progress, and set realistic reading goals—all in one place.

One of its best features is the ability to create custom bookshelves, so you can organize your collection exactly how you want—by genre, mood, priority, or anything else. Tracking what you’ve read, what you’re currently reading, and what’s next feels effortless and motivating.

I used it for my entire library and I’m happy

Really good for manga and graphic novels and making tags for my next book purchase

Easy to use

I’ve been using this to keep track of my home library for over a year now and find it very easy to use. There are times where it struggles to scan isbn , but I can usually search for the book and find it.

Macht, was es soll

Ich habe die kostenlose Version und diese reicht mir völlig aus. Ich möchte einen Überblick über all meine Bücher haben, damit ich keins doppelt kaufe.

Love the App, Can we make it kindle friendly?

I use this app for all my physical books i own and i keep track of what i read through the year on it.
Is there a way at all to connect to the kindle and it automatically puts in what i read off it?

Great app to organize books

Great app to keep my books organized - user friendly too! Thanks !!

Organization at its finest

Amazing way to keep tabs of what I have and what I wish for!

Great package

Really enjoyed using this package

Scanning function could use some work

I love the app and the Shelf functionality. I was very happy to see a scanning option, but after using it for a bit I’ve noticed it doesn’t always function properly. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds to a minute to finally read the barcode, and other times it doesn’t work at all and I have to manually enter the book. Is this something the developers are working on?

Every bookworm needs this.

This is the most perfect app for an avid reader. I have a complete database of all my titles, and an endless shopping list of books I’d love to find in the future. Great work! -Andrew M. I.G. - @dynastyzerobooks

Lifesaver for manga collectors

An actual lifesaver when it comes to organizing all my manga it’s made knowing what I own and what I’ve read so much easier. Saved me from buying duplicate volumes many times. Also the batch scanning makes updating my collections much faster than what I used to have to do. Would definitely recommend other manga readers to give this app a try.

Book keeper’s delight

Finally, I have found a FREE bookshelf that categorises your books into shelves, is way to use and user friendly. If only I could find one this good for albums.

Love this app

This app is incredible! I highly recommend it. I cannot tell you how much I love this app. I use it all the time. This app has also saved me a lot of money, if I did not have this app I would have repurchased the same books.

You have to pay subscription or a high fee for lifetime purchase

Disappointed as my 2 friends who convinced me to get the app have never had to pay to scan their books and it’s making me pay for mine. They both have had this app for years. I have lots of books, a few hundred, and it’s charging $80 for the lifetime membership, or monthly or weekly subscription fee’s. The main reason we liked this app in particular was the fact that it was free and had the scanner option to add the books. Sad to have to find different app after spending all that time scanning 100 books for it put a pay wall up.

Awesome, just a teensy suggestion.

This is a great app! I’m using it to keep track of the books I read each month. I only have one small suggestion for functionality. I often reread books and I noticed it doesn’t seem like I can add books to multiple bookshelves and rate each instance of that book separately, etc. I think it would be nice to, at the very least be able to add books to multiple bookshelves. This is an awesome app though! I love it!
