A Must-Have For Book Lovers!
Shelfy is such a fun and creative way to organize and keep track of my books! I love how customizable the app is, and the ability to pull book details from connected sources (Goodreads, etc.) makes adding books to my collection so much easier.
What really sets Shelfy apart for me, though, is how responsive and receptive the developers are to feedback! They’re incredibly quick to respond to questions, support requests, and feature suggestions, and it’s clear they genuinely care about improving the app and creating a great experience for their users.
It’s refreshing to find an app that’s not only enjoyable to use but also backed by people who actually listen to their community. Highly recommend for any book lover!

Best Reading App
I switched from Goodreads because I wanted to engage more with my love of reading and books. I’m not one to criticize novels, so the rating system has never intrigued me, and I really only used the app to keep track of what I was reading throughout the year. I saw an ad for Shelfy and wanted to give it a try for a month. I loved the layout, the stats, and the way I could interact with my physical book collection in a digital format. It’s highly customizable (and adorable), and I was able to make a cozy space on my phone. I love opening up the calendar view and seeing what I’ve been up to for the month, picking out book covers, discovering new reads, and logging my reading time. To top it off, I emailed Shelfy to suggest an option to include on a future update, and they not only responded but said they would include this on their next update! It’s been a great experience so far and not one I was able to enjoy with Goodreads or Fable.

Nope
Forces you to pay to use the app

Didn’t get far/Quick draw paywall
Cute idea, downloaded the app, disappointed to find it’s a nearly $40 per year subscription. That provides a service for which I can use my notes app and free forums. I think y’all have overestimated the value of an app like this in the current economy. At least I can’t see the value, especially since the subscription prompt hits you before you even get a chance to explore the app at all.

So impressed
I tried about 4 of these apps and just felt like none of them were worth the money until this one. It has a beautiful design and you can make it so cozy. The fact that you can take pictures of real life items and add them to your shelves is incredible. And the “magic” button is incredible! I love that you can basically do whatever you want. But beyond all that the biggest reason I love this app is the customer service. There were a few glitches in the second day I had it- one of my imports had imported a bunch of lists and it slowed the app down so so much. I reached out and got an almost instantaneous answer. They told me they would fix it, when they would fix it by, and how it would solve the problem. When I suggested new features they happily took my info. It was AMAZING. I love that you can make your own book covers, that you can suggest new features to the app, that you can add plaques to each shelf. It’s just a great app with great service.

Response from developer
Thank you so much for the kind words! The fix for the slow app after the import is in the next update: an import will make fewer lists, and you can select and delete many lists at once. We're also redesigning Stats right now. Thanks for your ideas, keep them coming.
