### 1/5 — What?

*2026-07-24*

I had my phone on airplane mode, took it off airplane mode and now my entire app reset. My TBR list is empty, books this year, pages today, pages this week all back at zero. All my books I have been reading are all GONE. It’s  I like just downloaded the app when I didn’t. Is this normal?

**Developer response:** Thanks for the heads up on this. Fortunately it was only due to the lack of internet connection, and nothing in your account or reading data was affected.

Offline/airplane mode support is live, so this won't be an issue again!

### 1/5 — Make and edit option

*2026-06-24*

I’m reading a book and it has the wrong page count for said book, but there is no edit option.Please fix this.

**Developer response:** Hi there, you can fix this yourself in a few taps. Open the three-dot menu at the top right of the book, then choose Fix Match to switch to the edition you're actually reading, which corrects the page count and the cover at once. If you'd rather just set the number directly, the Edit option in that same menu lets you override the page count. Any trouble at all, email me at hello@shelvd.io and I'll sort it out. Thanks for flagging it!

### 1/5 — Waiting List?!?

*2026-05-19*

Number 1200+ on a waiting list for free version?  No thank you. I’ll stick with Goodreads.

UPDATE:  thank you for the response.  I recently got an email that shelvd was available.  I will give it a try.

**Developer response:** Hi Lori, I'm the founder, and I'm sorry the first thing you saw was a queue. SHELVD is fully open now, no waitlist, and you can sign up free.

The screen you hit was a remnant from our pre-launch flow and has been removed.

If you'd like help getting set up, email hello@shelvd.io and I'll personally make sure things work. Either way, thank you for the honest review! It pointed me at a real gap.

### 5/5 — Amazing Interface & Simple to Navigate

*2026-08-20*

I absolutely adore this app. It is easy to use, intuitive, and has all the features I was looking for at a glance when I first downloaded it: half stars and a functional widget. Since downloading and using the app, I discovered that I really could use a re-read option. After reaching out the developer, the feature was added within just a day or so! I also love that I can search using the ISBN to add a book if it is not already in the database. While I do go in and double check my integrated websites are saving correctly periodically, I haven’t noticed any discrepancies. Overall, this app ticks all the boxes for tracking that I was looking for and is incredibly easy to use. I find myself motivated to continue reading and the insights it provides are a fun add-on to the experience!

### 5/5 — Aesthetically pleasing and easy to use!

*2026-08-11*

I have so enjoyed getting into Shelvd and learning all its features! I love the Status Cards the most, they’re so cute and such a fun way to share books! 
Any time I’ve run into an issue, a quick email to the Shelvd Team seems to do the trick! Chris is fast to respond and very kind in explanations. I can tell I’ll enjoy this app for a long time to come!

### 5/5 — Easiest reading tracker I’ve found

*2026-06-13*

I can tell that effort went in to making this beautiful and easy to use. Loving it so far

### 5/5 — What I have been waiting for

*2026-06-13*

This app solved the problem I hadn’t yet realized I even had. Updating multiple apps to keep all my trackers up to date.. missing the aesthetic shelf of a dreams… allowing more accurate and ease of tracking my audiobooks. PLUS Chris is fantastic with feedback and genuinely wants to make this app into a book lovers dream. I cannot wait to see how this app continues to develop. 10/10

### 5/5 — Finally an app I can track audiobooks on!

*2026-05-20*

I’m a huge audiobook listener and logging my progress on other book tracking apps is such a pain. Since most audiobook apps don’t give you a % complete, I had to do math (gross) to calculate my progress. On shelvd, all I have to do is grab a screenshot of my audiobook, upload it to the tracker, and it does all the work for me!!! Seriously life changing.
