### 5/5 — Love it! :D

*2026-06-01, version 1.11.0*

Big fan of this app!!!

### 5/5 — Bug… maybe?

*2026-05-21*

So I’ve added a few fics to a few different shelves and have the subscription but even when I go to the “all time” section of the stats it’ll show me authors and fics read but words read is at 0 no matter if I upload a fic or input it manually :( otherwise great app!

### 3/5 — Some issues

*2026-05-09*

The app has some issues I’ve noticed. Like I can’t get it to display all of my fics in the all fics tab. It only displays 7 fics at a time, idk. Also my stats say that I have read 101 fics but when I add up all the fics on my shelves it comes to 102… idk why it’s 1 off. I prefer to use the website to the app but I appreciate all you guys do!

### 5/5 — TikTok Recommendation

*2026-05-08*

I started saving my fanfics with links to the story on my notes app and after seeing a TikTok recommending this app as the notes app was glitchy I figured might as well try this. Works really well and I’m able to save my fanfics in shelves based on which ship it is and I’m able to add in the notes weather it’s a smut story or if it’s in a series. Considering paying the $20 a year to add the series for more accurate tracking with the fanfics but for not paying for anything the app is amazing for saving fanfics

### 5/5 — 10/10 would recommend

*2026-04-05*

Absolutely would not be able to track every fic I read without this app. I also love how you can input the fics that aren’t yet in the system. Super user friendly!

### 5/5 — A Godsend!!

*2026-01-16*

I’m honestly so grateful for this app please never stop it’s literally so useful I could finally stop tracking the fics I read on my notes app and this app makes the process so much easier and fast. 
Seriously thank you so much.

### 4/5 — Overall great

*2026-01-14*

I’m really enjoying this as a way to track fics. My only problem is searching takes forever and is not very effective. Like I can search the title of a work and it won’t be the first result because those words are individually in the tags of other entries. But overall I love the app, def the best tracker I have seen.

### 5/5 — The app every FF reader needs!

*2025-12-22*

When you read as many FF as me, you need somewhere to organise them! This ‘bookshelf’ app imports all the data for you and you can personalise it with custom images and organise however you feel works for you. 

Getting an accurate words count feeds into my data driven mind and I love how quick it is me for to filter a search to find exactly what I’m looking for. 

Any tech support required is provided quickly. 
Long gone is my notebook of titles… now I have it all at the touch of the button!

### 1/5 — Might need to update app

*2025-12-07*

Found through twitter, thought I would check it out. I’ve been using it more maybe 20 mins & it just doesn’t work. Every link I’ve pasted, every author and fics I’ve searched just got an error or screen saying that there are no results. Very disappointing. I was looking forward to using this app.

**Developer response:** Hello,

We had some downtime on December 7th but everything is up and running perfectly now! Please feel free to reach out if you have any more issues.

Thank you,

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-12-07*

I wanted to like this and I’ve heard great things but no matter what methods I use it will not import anything.

**Developer response:** Hello,

We had some downtime on December 7th but everything is up and running perfectly now! Please feel free to reach out if you have any more issues.
