What's New in Bookshelf

2.18.18

July 19, 2026

[UPDATED] Better Book Scanning - Barcode scanning is more reliable, and scanned books now load more complete book details and cover images. [FIXED] This update also improves reading sessions and Live Activity syncing, recommendation filters, custom cover photos, author sorting, and overall stability. As always, I love hearing from you - tell me what you'd like to see next via the in-app Feedback or Roadmap (find both in Stats -> Settings). Happy reading!

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.

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.
