### 4/5 — great app!

*2026-08-24, version 2.0.16*

would prefer it allow me to manually add songs though, hopefully they update it soon 🤞

### 4/5 — Amazing but could be improved no hate 🩷

*2026-08-23, version 2.0.16*

It such a cool app but I miss when we could follow our friends and put emojis on our and others stuff

### 4/5 — Let me customize more!

*2026-08-18, version 2.0.15*

I like the app, I wish it was a bit easier to connect to YouTube and Netflix. I also wish it was easier to delete shows and movies you put up on your shelf. And my main problem is that I really want more colors for the home screen. Like no I don’t want the brat green I want gray. Give me gray! Better yet give me black!

### 4/5 — Very cool

*2026-08-17*

I have only had this app for maybe a week or so, and though I haven’t used it much, it’s fun ! My only problem is my Disney+ WILL NOT CONNECT 😣😣 I log in just fine but when I click on my profile it opens and then just puts me back onto the profile choosing page. I’ve logged in multiple times and clicked on it multiple times, it does the same thing. I think that’s also one of the reasons I haven’t used it too much because I have just watched all of the mcu and many other things on Disney plus and I’d like the app to know that… I haven’t put all my reviews on letterboxd yet because I was going to rewatch the movies for better reviews, so it doesn’t know everything about me yet since I can’t connect it. Other than that, I do really like this app (even with my little use of it) because it’s a very interesting idea and the way it was executed is quite nice.

### 3/5 — Buggy but I see the fun

*2026-08-16, version 2.0.15*

It’s a little buggy like I can’t update my photo or connect all apps and I think it it uses ai and some of the copy feels a bit slop (like Spotify day list titles) that said I can see how it’s fun to track media and as the AI improves have a better functionality for personality tests/quizzes etc

### 4/5 — noteeees

*2026-08-13, version 2.0.14*

I like this app SO MUCH!! but it would be great to add a function to write feelings/emotions/reviews on movies and tv shows🫶🏼

### 3/5 — Music

*2026-08-09, version 2.0.14*

My only issue is that I don’t use apple music or Spotify. So I cant really use this app. Because it seems like a very cute app but if it would be cool if you added other music apps for people to connect to as an update!

### 2/5 — Data is wrong

*2026-08-09*

I tried to sync my Apple Music and Spotify and it shows me song and artists i don’t listen to at all 🤧 or ones ive only listened to once

### 3/5 — overall good besides syncing issues

*2026-08-08, version 2.0.14*

i love this app, but it often had issues syncing my library. if i listen to an artist all day, it stays at the same number of plays. ive tried everything to get it to update. everything else is updating but the one artist i want it to.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-08-08, version 2.0.14*

This is a pretty good app! It’s fun and useful, but there are a few issues. Sometimes the app doesn’t correctly show your top artists. For example, I listen to my top artists all the time but for some reason it doesn’t always track my music. But other than that it’s a really cool app!

### 5/5 — so fun and creative !!

*2026-08-03*

one of my favorite apps by FAR!! the only thing i would love to see to take it a step further, is to be able to share our flux results!! like when we do that “what’s in your bag” or any of those fun things, we can share it on our profile so our friends can see! 
another idea to take it a step further, would be an option to add book, song, and movie/show reviews in the app so our friends can see what we think of certain things! similar to goodreads :)

### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic

*2026-08-03*

Genuinely awesome app with absolutely no issues. It’s such a cute and niche app and like such a good way to track the shows and books you’ve entertained yourself with and an absolutely awesome way to connect with people!!!

### 4/5 — Add more music platforms

*2026-08-03, version 2.0.12*

Heyyy so I think the app is a cool concept but I think you need to add more music platforms (aka Amazon music pls) I do use Spotify but not for everything. I use Amazon Music for everything I listen too so I would like to get accurate stats for what I’m listening on there but can’t since there’s no option for that. Please consider adding Amazon Music as another music platform!!!

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2026-07-28*

Um ótimo aplicativo

### 4/5 — Great but…

*2026-07-27, version 2.0.12*

I love this app. I’m a big organizer, but one slight issue. Specifically with Disney+ it keeps taking me back to the profile selection screen. I’ve had no issues connecting anything else

### 5/5 — peak

### 1/5 — ???

*2026-08-19, version 2.0.15*

the app isn’t tracking my info accurately at all, i inserted apple music and it says i have TWENTY FIVE minutes of listening when that’s not true at all??

### 1/5 — Ts pmo.

*2026-08-03*

Why does it have to refresh the amount of times you’ve listened to an artist/album/songs. Why can’t it just keep the number? I know this probably doesn’t affect everyone else but it ticks me so much. WHY DOESNIT HAVE TO RESETTTT?? This sucks.

### 1/5 — wont even open

*2026-08-02, version 2.0.12*

Once i connect my apple account the app closes automatically and wont reopen and if i try to log in on the website i never get a code i really wanted this app to work because it seemed super cool so im a bit disappointed

### 1/5 — The update is trash

*2026-07-28, version 2.0.12*

I loved the before of this app. Not the after. Half of the things don’t work on it. Doesn’t sync well and honestly the design is too complex. I don’t know why they changed it. It was cute and fun before the emo upgrade.

### 1/5 — Phone number not working

*2026-07-20, version 2.0.10*

My phone number will not work to get into the app. It keeps saying HTTP error: 400 and I don’t know what to do because there’s nothing wrong with my number.

### 1/5 — Asks for a phone number

*2026-07-07, version 2.0.10*

Downloaded Shelf after seeing an ad on my timeline, expecting it's an app for organizing books, movies, and music. But as soon as I opened it, it asked for my phone number before I could even see how the app works.

Sounds unnecessary and difficult to accept. I’ll pass.

### 1/5 — Pedido de correção

*2026-07-02*

O aplicativo era perfeito! Agora ele simplesmente parece não funcionar, utilizam o mesmo filme que deu review no letterboxd desde o começo do ano, e não vai atualizando para os que assisti recentemente, a mesma coisa com as músicas, colocam músicas aleatórias que geralmente eu dei um play no mês ao invés de por as que realmente mais escuto. Além disso, sinceramente eu preferia o design antigo para a recapitulação da semana..

por favor arrumem isso, eu adorava postar, os fluxos em meus storys, era muito bem organizado, agora fica difícil quando vocês nem sequer colocam os filmes e músicas, que eu realmente assisto ou escuto.

### 1/5 — LIES

*2026-06-23, version 2.0.9*

I just did the MBTI test… OMG! IT SAID I WAS AN INTP! i’m an ISFP! it even says it has no data to back up that claim after several hours! this is a scam! STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION!

### 1/5 — New Update

*2026-06-22, version 2.0.9*

I downloaded this app nearly a year ago. I absolutely fell in love with it. I was checking it constantly, and almost always updating it. That was until there was an update in the app. It just made things harder to navigate and just terrible in general. At one point, it even logged me out of my account and I wasn’t able to get back in. I deleted this app months ago, and now I just wish they could bring the original app back.

### 1/5 — No YouTube music???

*2026-06-20, version 2.0.9*

I want to try this app so bad but why can I not have YouTube music?? I can’t even pass it so I’m angry

Shelf is an amazing app I just wish that the "last seven days" side was "this week" instead of the last seven days, other that than I love it!
