### 4/5 — 好用

*2022-05-15, version 2.15.0*

重點筆記整理很不錯，是不是操作上有些盲區。
1、使用後三個月，所有筆記竟然全部不見，去信開發者至今未收到回音。
2、再使用三個月，現在識別文字前後順序會亂掉，所以都需要重新剪貼編排，今已去信反饋，靜待開發者回覆。

### 3/5 — 買完次數之後app失常

*2021-05-03, version 2.14.2*

買完次數之後就無法正常使用了。

無法登入書籍，購買的次數也不見，已經忘記購買時有沒有註冊，但失常後想補救註冊系統也沒有反應，現在app也打不開了。

更新到最新也沒有用。

刪除之後app正常了，但因為沒有註冊資料，東西也不見。有點無言，暫時不敢再用，怕東西又沒了🥲

### 4/5 — Really very good app for students/academics

*2021-03-24*

I almost never write a review, but I will for this app. It is really very good - the creator knows pretty much what researchers need, so you can add book details, page numbers etc to scanned text and then export. It works very well - OCR is fast and accurate. Export is good, although to plain text as well as HTML would be helpful. Don't know why nobody ever implemented something like this before. It's perfect for academics. Too many of these scan/OCR apps concentrate on thigs that academics do not want - like scanning receipts and documents - this is very much oriented towards what scholars want and need. A cpl of very minor niggles, which is why only four stars. Also I reckon this is going to get even better before long, so then I will be able to give it five stars. Addition: work needs to be done on sync. No need for books to be on a server in China when they could be on Dropbox or iCloud. If you switch to Apple log-in, no way to import books and notes, apparently, from the China server log-in.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 4/5 — 希望可以增加評分功能及一口氣可以編輯多本書籍的書架歸類

*2021-03-15, version 2.14.1*

希望能夠加上評分功能，讓自己閱讀完這本書之後，對於這本書進行評價，例如像app store這樣的5顆星評分

另外，希望能夠增加在主頁長按書籍可以跳出編輯書籍、書架編輯等等的選單功能，亦或是長按可以進入多本書籍選擇，進行一口氣大量的放入書架分類的功能，或者在主頁加入「編輯」按鈕，可以一口氣選擇大量書籍進行書架分類

因為現行要放入自行建立的書架分類，必須一本一本的進入書籍頁面，才可以編輯書籍內容或進行歸類書架的動作，對於擁有大量書籍的人來說，要歸類書架非常的花時間⋯⋯

### 4/5 — Mostly quite pleased

*2021-01-11*

I really like how easy this app makes getting research notes out of books.  Scanning bar codes and OCR has been pretty smooth, even with relatively obscure reference books.  Got the yearly membership for that reason.  Would very much like to see the ability to do an author search (as someone else mentioned) and search for multiple tags at once—right now I can’t search for notes that are tagged both “trust” and “promise,” for example, which means a lot of scrolling.  Would love to see this continue to be developed- might even recommend it to students once it has enough going for it!

Edit: Author search works well now!  Still want the ability to search my notes from the app, though I can export them for search elsewhere, so it shouldn’t be a dealbreaker.  Very nice functionality! Very glad I have this!

**Developer response:** Thanks very much for your feedback! I will keep developing this App!
The latest version of Shelfie can search books by author, please try it.
We will take account of searching for multiple tags.
Thanks again for your comments. If you have anything to say, please contact me by: hustlzp@qq.com

### 5/5 — The book app I’ve been looking for

*2020-08-13*

I tried so many different book apps before shelfie, and so far this is the best one. I wanted something simple and elegant, a place where I can record my notes and thoughts without distraction. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you, developers.

### 5/5 — 笔记丢失能否找回

*2020-07-25*

通过邮箱购买了无限次会员，却没发现一直未登陆，后来登上去之后发现之前的读书记录都没有了，是否可以找回？

**Developer response:** 你好，可以的，请加群 494339456 联系，帮你恢复。

### 5/5 — 速度快，好用

*2020-06-16*

使用了很多年了，需要付费才能用，不过用的不多，可以接受。整体感觉还行。排版方面更新一下，尤其是字体太少。

**Developer response:** 谢谢鼓励！会继续努力哒！

### 5/5 — 統計功能失效

*2020-03-11, version 2.5.2*

統計功能用到3/09
後續新增的筆記皆無法增加至統計中

### 5/5 — So cool!

*2020-02-27*

This is amazing!

### 5/5 — 用的好好的突然不能用了，之前的笔记也都没掉

*2019-11-22*

软件做的好坏都不说了，做不好也不要坑人啊，做了那么久的笔记说没就没了

### 4/5 — 仍需加油

*2019-10-14*

提两点意见：
1.阅读进度只能填页码很不科学，电子书的页数随着格式的调整随时都在变化，而且单纯通过页码如何表示已经读完了呢
2.建议优化设置栏，增加导出方式，比如可以导出为pdf等，会更受欢迎

**Developer response:** 谢谢，1：会改进的；2：现在是可以导出 PDF 的

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-05-22*

Can’t get ebook from it

### 1/5 — Default language is chinese

*2021-02-06*

Just installed the app and the default language is chinese. Would be happy to test and review if I could switch to english.

### 1/5 — Good app but not sure how it works

*2020-04-30*

Worthy app if it does what it claims, unfortunately I can’t figure that out. After reading some articles online I went out and got this app because I thought you could get ebooks here. So far all I’ve been able to do is scan barcodes so I can take notes on the physical books I do have. While that’s useful I can do a modified version of the same thing virtually anywhere I make notes. What interests me is finding digital copies of books I own. So far no tutorials on the app and the website listed below is in Chinese. So, looks like I may have to keep searching for a comparable app. Disappointed.

### 1/5 — 閱讀記錄

*2020-03-12, version 2.5.2*

這三天的閱讀記錄都沒有顯示在統計裡。

### 1/5 — Shelfie - severely disappointed

*2019-05-22*

I wanted an app that I could quickly scan my existing books before moving house; Granted, the scanning of barcodes is easy, but some of the major publishing houses aren’t included (eg penguin), even when manually add in by ISBN number. Very disappointed with the organization too - doesn’t even have a simple “sort by author”... who wants to go to a bookstore and search through titles to confirm if already in their collection? Logic and ease would dictate author search being much more convenient than by title.. can have 200 in your library with “The” as the first word.... but only a few with the author name!!!
 Good idea, poorly executed.

**Developer response:** We are so sorry about your unpleasant experience with Shelfie.
We have fixed a bug in 2.2.0 so please try to scan the bar code again when you need it.
And we will consider your advice about sorting books by author.
Many thanks about your feedback!

### 1/5 — Can't find Server?

*2018-07-26*

Doesn't work. Cant find your server and your links dont work.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that, please check in the system settings whether the network has been disabled for Shelfie.

### 2/5 — Seems to be glitching

*2024-02-02*

It’s seems like when I write a note or a thought, the app would just crash and I have to reopen it and same thing would happen. It doesn’t seem to work right.

### 2/5 — Does not recognize books

*2023-04-28*

Stays on a constant state “Recognizing”. Buggy

### 2/5 — 聯絡資訊無法聯絡

*2022-04-01, version 2.15.0*

因為手滑不小心誤刪了書籍資料，導致筆記全消失了，想聯絡貴官方，發現上面信箱是無效的，根本聯絡不到相關人員，虧我錢都花了🥲

### 2/5 — Won’t process barcode scan

*2020-02-26*

I have scanned the barcode of one of my books and let it sit for over an hour and nothing has happened.

### 5/5 — 很好👍

*2024-03-27, version 2.18.3*

本來上午Apple突然登入失敗，不到一天就復原了。

### 5/5 — 最好用的书摘软件

*2023-10-15*

我是个处女座，之前也使用过很多很多的证书软件，但是发现还是这一款识别率最高，最人性化，添加图书也非常的方便，所以我一直用，他推荐大家使用，而且我充值了。 有个建议。就是填写页码的时候输入框太短了，就是我希望上面页码两个字，包括后面整条都可以输入页码。现在，能输入那框太短了。

**Developer response:** 谢谢支持！你说的问题下个版本改进，下周就会上架！

### 5/5 — 今天突然無法使用

*2022-06-25, version 2.15.0*

今天突然無法使用，會出現JSon錯誤訊息，換了另一台設備也是一樣，而且意見反饋的email帳號也無法寄送，所以在此通知。

### 5/5 — 好用，極簡

*2022-01-27, version 2.4.10*

希望增加 widget 功能，能每日推送一則自己存過的筆記到 iOS widget

### 5/5 — 闪光点&几点小建议

*2021-10-23*

用了两年，很喜欢这款应用：功能直观、实用：没有社交，专注看书。

几个小建议：
（1）同一篇笔记中的荧光笔可否允许不同颜色，方便划分不同内容？
（2）斜体功能似乎无法在中文子上实现。（3）在单一书籍的笔记总览界面上，不会显示各条摘录的笔记（无论是荧光笔、粗体还是其他），必须要点进去才看得到。有没有办法可以直观地在总览界面直观显示笔记？
（4）关联笔记时，如果可以显示最近关联就好了。

期待更新，祝越来越好。

### 5/5 — 言外筆記真是無所不能

*2021-07-13, version 2.14.4*

很好的隨身筆記

### 5/5 — 五星好评，期待升级

*2021-01-24*

给五星鼓励！！！
用起来很舒服，符合我的需求✨

希望有一个细节可以升级：
在导出数据时，①能够按照自己设计的书架，分书架导出，②能够按照设置的标签进行导出，这样会更方便给朋友分享书单💕

### 5/5 — 简洁好用的读书笔记

*2020-12-22*

识别功能准确率很高，页面也很简洁，喜欢这种清爽的风格～
当然我也有一些小的建议，比如说希望可以更改字体的颜色、高光的颜色更多一些、“想法”一栏可以添加图片就更好了。
会继续支持的！希望能够不断完善～

### 5/5 — 建议

*2020-09-16*

软件识别率很高，非常好！增加了颜色笔，比以前进步了。虽然颜色笔的颜色可以切换，但使用上会感不便。若能在工具栏里同时可以使用两种以上颜色笔，那就更好了。

### 5/5 — 一人血书求导入Kindle笔记的功能(´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)

*2020-08-15*

非常喜欢言外的设计，软件本身已经非常强大，尤其喜欢随机推荐书摘的功能。希望未来能添加 1.导入kindle笔记 2.智能识别时可以在同一张图上多次框选，避免文本为非规则长方形时识别后还需要手动编辑（如书本弯折形成的弧线，或从某行中间开始勾选）3.希望网页版也能使用高亮加粗的功能。 请务必考虑，谢谢！
