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!!!

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

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

The ultimate app for physical book lovers!

Hylle makes building a digital archive of your physical books effortless. The spine-scanning AI is incredibly fast and accurate. It completely eliminates the tedious setup that usually comes with book-tracking apps. The UI is clean, the calendar view is great for tracking progress, and the reading sprints are a beautiful touch. Highly recommend to any bookworm!

Response from developer

OS, thank you for this — fast, accurate, and no tedious setup are exactly the three words we'd want anyone to use after their first scan. The fact that you also noticed the calendar and reading sprints means you've gone past the magic moment and into actually living in the app. That's the part we care about most. And for recommending Hylle to fellow bookworms — we'd be honoured to be the app of the bookworms. Happy reading. — Yigit & the Hylle Team
