Cool but…
So far the app itself is great. It’s pretty and I’ll have fun with it. However, I paid what I feel is a lot of money for a one year subscription. And then as I was using the spine creator, it comes up that I now have to pay $3 for 10 more spines or $25 for 100. What? I paid for a year subscription. Why do I not have full access? So now I’m wondering what else I’ll have to pay even more money for. Disappointing.

Hey, thank you, and sorry for the surprise. Every generated spine costs us real money to create, so the packs cover that cost. We know it feels off on top of a subscription, and we're going to improve this soon. Everything else is fully included. Write us at hello@shelfy-app.com - we'd love to gift you some spines :)
subscription charge
i cancled my free 3 day trial the day of purchasing and they attempted to charge my card for a years subscription anyway

False advertising
Says it’s free to use and then it won’t let you place books on a fake shelf unless you pay monthly.

Paid
I get it. The team needs paid. This app isn’t for me and I’ll just use a different one that gives you a free tier.
My complaint is I just wish apps were more upfront about it. Saw this in an ad and it wasn’t mentioned that you can’t try it without agreeing to a subscription after a trial. I would like to poke around without signing up for anything.
My recommendation is giving everyone one book to try for free to see if they enjoy it and be upfront about it and I think you’d get more people signing up if they got to try without signing up. I just don’t use apps like that, because I’m always forgetting to cancel. Looks like a great app, though. Maybe one day when we aren’t all being stretched thin financially. If I ever get some extra spending money again, I’ll put this on my list of things to look into.

Hey, thank you for such a fair and kind note. You're right that we should be clearer upfront, and the "one free book" idea is a good one - we're taking it to the team. Hope things get easier soon, the shelf will be here :)
