User reviews

Great app overall!

Please allow the ability to upload our own photos of our books instead of the generated ones when a title isn’t recognized. If this is fixed, this app will deserve 5 stars!!!

Response from developer

Hi, good news — this already exists. On any book, tap the small pencil icon in the top-right of the cover to open the cover picker, and you'll see a "Use your own photo" option at the top-left where you can upload your own image. Would love to hear if it does the trick for you. — Yigit & the Hylle Team

Doit reconnaître les ouvrages grand public

Pour des ouvrages d’un niveau + ne reconnaît pas les isbn, ne retrouve pas avec auteur et titre.. oublions. Dommage perdu 25 minutes sur quatre ouvrages un seul reconnu …25% de réussite…

Response from developer

Bonjour, désolé que ça n'ait pas marché sur vos ouvrages. Vous avez raison : sur les livres plus spécialisés — académiques, éditions plus anciennes, publications moins diffusées — la couverture bibliographique a des trous, et vous l'avez mesuré précisément. Si ça vous dit, envoyez-nous les quatre titres à hello@hylle.app et on regardera de notre côté ce qu'on peut faire — soit trouver les livres dans une autre source, soit vous expliquer honnêtement pourquoi ils ne sont vraiment pas trouvables. C'est le genre de retour qui nous aide à améliorer. Merci d'avoir pris le temps. — Yigit & the Hylle Team

Nice library app

Cool bookshelf scanning feature. Reminds me of the old “Shelfie” app

Response from developer

Hi Peter, Shelfie was ahead of its time — a real inspiration for anyone building in this space. Glad the scan feature landed for you. Happy reading. — Yigit & the Hylle Team

App funktioniert nicht

Nach Installation öffnet die App sich nur als weißer Bildschirm. Absolut ohne Funktion.

Response from developer

Hallo svlange, unser Fehler — der weiße Bildschirm kam von einer alten Version, die noch an manche Geräte ausgeliefert wurde. Hylle benötigt iOS 15.5 oder neuer; auf älteren Geräten führte das zum Absturz. Wir haben die alte Version inzwischen entfernt. Lösch Hylle einmal und installiere es neu — dann sollte alles laufen. Danke fürs Melden. Das hat uns sehr geholfen. Viel Freude beim Lesen. — Yigit & the Hylle Team

Love this app

This app is great if you are also a big book lover like me. It works great with goodreads too.

Response from developer

Bige, glad it's clicking for you — and good to hear the Goodreads side is working smoothly. Bringing your existing books in shouldn't be the hard part; the fun starts after. Happy reading. — Yigit & the Hylle Team
