2 Complaints

1) Add a “start reading” button on the main screen of a title- streamline that instead of going into the book details. Especially for books that were pre-labeled “TBR”
2) For the Home Screen widget, can we remove the shelf title? It covers up the shelf and ruins the aesthetic.

Other than that, I love this app, the point of it, and the functionality- it just has some annoyances. Downloaded today, so maybe I’ll find more LOL

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for the feedback and for trying ShelfLife. We're happy to work on these issues in the next few updates - probably somewhere around version 2.2.3 (the current version is 2.2.0 so not too far away!). Could you give us an email at admins@theshelflifeapp.com with any further issues (or report it within the app using the Send Feedback feature)? We'd love to get your rating up to a 5 star by addressing your feedback ASAP and we can more confidently put out an update that fits what you're looking for if you contact us.

Love but widget is broken

Great app but the widget is broken it won’t display unless it’s super small… and wish I could customize the shelf and background with my own stuff.

Hi Giovanni, could you try the widget again? We just put out a fix in 2.1.3 that I'm hopeful it will work for you now. Also, we are experimenting with letting you add your own items to the shelf. Right now as of 2.1.1 you can add a frame with your own photo. This is part of the Box Seat subscription we just launched too which brings lots of customizations and a monthly seasonal decor drop. Thanks for trying the app and giving us a good rating! If you have the time, let us know how the update was for you by emailing us at admins@theshelflifeapp.com! - Alex from ShelfLife

THE BEST VIRTUAL BOOKSHELF IN THE APP STORE!!!!!!!

This is the only virtual bookshelf app I’ve found (and I’ve tried like 12) that didn’t ask for money, allowed me to add all the books/shelves I want, AND connects me with other readers!!!! Genuinely so happy I found this app, trying to get everyone I know on it :)

Thank you so much for trying ShelfLife and giving us such an amazing review!!! We hope you continue to enjoy!

Love this small and cozy reading app!

I’m thoroughly impressed with the quality of this app and the wide selection of books you can add to your shelf for such a small-owned project - this app is soooo cute!!! I can’t wait for more people to find and start using this so I can browse through even more shelves!

Hey, we're so excited you loved ShelfLife!!! As a 2 person married team, it means a ton to us that you found it high quality. We also can't wait for it to get more users because you all have such creative shelves! :P. Keep enjoying!

Hits that happy spot in my soul

I love book trackers, but I’m very bad at book tracking because it doesn’t hit the dopamine as much as I want. This one hits the dopamine and has me running to add books I’m reading, have read, or want to read so I can make my bookshelf prettier on my tiny screen than irl. Thanks for the dopamine hits and for always listening to feedback 😍
