Ich spreche beide Sprachen und lese oft französische und englischsprachige Autor*innen. Da ich zur Entspannung lese, lese ich die Bücher ausschließlich in meiner Muttersprache. Sollte es mit der Zeit von meinen Lieblingsautor*innen die Bücher in deutscher Übersetzung geben, bin ich gerne bereit ein Abo abzuschließen. 14.12.2025 Heute getestet ob ich ein Buch hinzufügen kann und es hat funktioniert. Abo wurde nun abgeschlossen. Vielen Dank für die tolle und nützliche App. **Developer response:** Hey! Danke für das Review! Wir haben in der letzten Version (1.0.5h unser Datenquelle deutlich erweitert - jetzt solltest du hoffentlich keine Probleme mehr haben deutsche Bücher zu finden. Am besten auch immer den ISBN eintippen oder scannen, dann finden wir auch die richtige Auflage des Buchs. Falls es noch Probleme gibt, bitte per Mail melden und wir schauen uns das an! Liebe Grüße, Klemens ### 5/5 — Elegant *2025-09-27* Pocket Shelf wurde mit liebe zum detail entwickelt, das sieht man bereits wenn man die App öffnet. Die Entwickler antworten sehr schnell und sind aktiv auf X unterwegs wo man ihren Fortschritt verfolgen kann. Ich denke die App hat Potential und ich bin gespannt in welche Richtung sich die App Entwickeln wird. Was mir persönlich noch fehlt ist das Gefühl meine eigene Bücherei in der Hosentasche zu haben. Ich habe +300 Bücher daheim und jeden Monat kommen neue dazu. 1. Ich möchte schnell und einfach den “wurde bereits gelesen” zustand eines Buchs setzen können. 2. Des Weiteren wäre eine Suche sehr hilfreich um schnell schauen zu können ob man das Buch bereits besitzt. 3. Tags um Bücher zu markieren zum Beispiel “Wunschliste”, “Kaufen” usw. um eben Bücher zu sortieren. 4. Eingeben können an wen das Buch verliehen wurde, denn wenn man sich nicht selbst drum kümmert, kommen die normalerweise nicht mehr von selbst zurück 5. Würde meiner verlobten gerne Zugriff auf meine Bibliothek geben können, damit sie auf ihrem Handy sehen kann was wir bereits haben (vielleicht sogar einfach nur view access, allerdings am wenigsten wichtig von meinen 5 Punkten) ### 5/5 — Looks promising *2025-09-18* Book tracking app with solid basis, gorgeous UI and efficiency in mind. The possibility to sync with OpenLibrary, TheStorygraph or Goodreads would be great **Developer response:** Thank you very much for the review and the suggestions! We are currently looking into importing books from these sources, so stay tuned! ### 5/5 — Perfect für (nicht so oft) Leser*innen *2025-09-17* Als jemand der sehr unregelmäßig ließt ist die App perfekt. Da ich immer vergesse was passiert ist und dann nochmal von Anfang des Kapitels lesen muss. ### 5/5 — Danke *2025-09-17* Ich habe die App gleich nach Empfehlung runtergeladen. Ich finde die App sehr sehr schön und für was sie gedacht ist im ersten Schritt echt MEGA. Der Entwickler hat mir auch gleich noch auf meine Fragen geantwortet. Probiert es auch! ### 5/5 — Hilfreich *2025-09-16* Finde die App sehr hilfreich wenn man wie ich mehrere Bücher gleichzeitig liest. Der Entwickler reagiert sehr schnell auf Anfragen. Top! ### 5/5 — Read more, remember more *2025-09-16* PocketShelf lets me track notes in every book I read, which is perfect for a large library – great job! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! It means the world to us <3 - Frank & Klemens ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rushed *2026-01-01* I really wanted to like this app after seeing it featured in the App Store’s 26 Apps for 2026, but it feels rushed. There’s no way to edit a book’s information once it’s been added, you have to delete the entire book and add it again making sure you don't make any mistake in the process. And the final nail in the coffin: for an app that’s meant to help track reading progress, there’s no way to mark a book as finished. I set my progress to 100%, and the app told me to continue from 101% in the next session 😂 **Developer response:** Hi, Thanks for trying out the app! You can edit a books information without deleting it. Just open the book and click the button in the top right corner. The only thing you can’t change is it’s type: (between a physical book, an audiobook or ebook), as that might mess up your previous tracked sessions. You can also set a book as finished reading - just edit the book and set its reading status to “Finished”. Lastly - the 101% thing definitely is a bug! When you reach the end of a book, you usually get a celebration screen and it’s automatically marked as finished. Would you be so kind and send me more details via mail, so that I can reproduce and fix the issue? Thanks! Klemens ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2025-12-31* Tried to sign up to app, but after the signature step & press continue, the app crashes. Is there a current bug going around? **Developer response:** Hi! Yeah this was an annoying bug in that version of the app. It has been fixed in the latest version, super sorry for the annoyance 🥲 Cheers, Klemens ### 3/5 — A bit confusing. *2026-01-01* it’s a bit confusing. When I add notes I can’t seem to see them anywhere. I only have options to see my glossary. Also I think the on-boarding should be done in app to show how to do different things **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the review! The notes are visible in the “Where you left off” section of the book overview - There is a button saying: “All Notes”! But could you also please reach out to us about your Onboarding feedback? We would love to discuss that further with you! Cheers, Klemens ### 4/5 — So Good!!!! *2026-01-22* This app is so amazing. I use it to track what I read and is extremely useful if you read more than one book at a time. You can play music while you read, which definitely helps with concentration. The notes are so useful aswell, as I often take long breaks between chapters and end up having to re read it. I wish that you could add more books to your TBR list without having to pay for premium but overall great app!!! ### 4/5 — Good but... *2026-01-09* Really good but I would like it if i would be able to read the book. ### 5/5 — Amazing book tracker *2026-06-24* It's an amazing and delightful book tracker! I love it. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for these kind words 🫶 ### 5/5 — Great app overall *2026-05-27* The multi-book tracking feature is great by itself, but the apps sleek design really makes it stand out. The adoption of Liquid Glass, the satisfying sounds and haptics, and even the background audio which I always use when reading make all the experience feel really polished. **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the kind words 🫶 ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-05-06* The app is great, does exactly what it says it does. Love having a record of what I have read and when. Really looking forward to the planned features that are coming like ratings! The customer support is absolutely fantastic too!! ### 5/5 — Perfect for reading more than one book at a time *2026-02-19* The app is really good if you read more than one book at a time and/or make longer breaks before continuing to read. With the notes that you can write down for each book you can get quickly back into the story. I take a two month break and forgot what happened? No problem I just read trough my notes and Iam back on track. Also the glossary is really great I always have problems remembering peoples name. With the glossary I can add an entry for every charakter and make a short note who that person is. There are many different categories for glossary entries not just for characters but also for places, events, concepts and many more. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-01-24* Have been waiting for an app like this forever. There’s almost nothing more I need than this well built MVP ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App from Klemens! *2026-01-12* Really clean and thoughtfully designed reading tracker. I like how easy it is to log sessions, add notes, and pick up exactly where I left off. Makes staying organised with reading really feel effortless. ### 5/5 — Happy to support indie devs! *2026-01-09* Lifetime purchase! Great app guys and looking forward to the future releases! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-01-03* Beautifully designed book tracker **Developer response:** You flatter us! Thank you 🫶🏻 - Frank & Klemens ### 5/5 — Easy & fun *2026-01-03* It’s a great way to keep organised when reading different books or writing if you put a book down and come back a lot later! **Developer response:** Glad to hear that, Joe! Happy reading! - Frank & Klemens ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2026-01-03* I managed to get back into reading last year after a 20 year hiatus and this has been hugely helpful in keeping track of everything. Love it! **Developer response:** Amazing! Now keep the momentum going! We’ll be here to support you with that 🫶🏻 - Frank & Klemens --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
