User reviews

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

Found books I forgot I owned!

Hylle helps you actually finish whats already on your shelf. Scanning was quick and the unread filter is a great feature. I love it!

Response from developer

Zeydo, "found books I forgot I owned" is one of the best things we hear from people who scan their shelves for the first time. There's always something hiding back there. Glad the unread filter is working for you too. Happy reading. — Yigit & the Hylle Team

Game changing

I’ve been using Hylle AI and it genuinely solves a real pain point. The ability to scan books quickly instead of manually searching and adding them one by one is a game changer. The scan is fast, accurate, and saves so much time. I actually stopped using Goodreads because it felt too tedious in comparison. The app makes building an e-library effortless.

Response from developer

Thank you for this — "stopped using Goodreads because it felt too tedious" might be the cleanest summary of why we built the scan feature in the first place. Adding books one by one shouldn't be the price of having a library you can see. Glad it's earning its place on your phone. Happy reading. — Yigit & the Hylle Team
