## What is TBR?

Got a growing TBR list? See great book recommendations, but forget them later? Meet TBR Bookshelf!

Easily track books you want to read, are currently reading, or have finished with no limits. Rate and review books once you’ve read them and log your favorite moments using our quick and intuitive rating system. Browse public ratings to see a book’s POV, tropes, reread rate, and up to four genre-specific ratings. For example, Romance tracks Spice, Fluff, Humor, and Tear. All ratings are anonymous, so you can be honest with your reviews.

Within our rating system, you can log:

* Up to four genre ratings
* If you would reread a book
* DNF (Did Not Finish)

### 5/5 — Made for book lovers by a book lover

*2026-08-19, version 5.5*

This app is o cute and whimsy you can customise your library add to a TBR list and create your own bookshelf it helps you track your reading and allows you to add ratings comments quotes ect it’s great

### 3/5 — Crashes a lot

*2026-08-17, version 5.5*

Great app I love using it but it crashes way too much!! I’ll be searching something then it crashes. Updated it and it still happens please fix.

### 3/5 — Okay but nothing without pro features

*2026-08-16, version 5.5*

This app is good and easy to navigate but you literally can’t even make a tbr without getting pro (which is insane because it’s literally called tbr) I think there’s other better options without a necessary subscription!

### 5/5 — Me encanta!

*2026-08-16, version 5.5*

La verdad no tenía muchas expectativas sobre esta app, pero desde que vi la recomendación en tik tok me cerró la boca. Tiene muy buena estructura y para anotar todas tus lecturas está súper bien. La recomiendo si quieres llevar un control sobre tus libros, las lecturas pendientes, etc. Muy buena app

### 5/5 — i love

*2026-08-14, version 5.5*

love being able to see the books i want to read here!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-13, version 5.5*

This is an amazing app to keep track of books to be read or that you’ve read already.

### 1/5 — Confusing layout

*2026-08-12, version 5.5*

A lot of times it doesn’t pick up the books that you want. And it’s also very hard to understand and keep in order cause it doesn’t let you change the order. So it’s like a book that I read a year ago in a book that I’m finished today.

### 4/5 — Cute!

*2026-08-12, version 5.5*

This is a very easy bookshelving app. 

They’ve even got PINK MODE!!! 🩷

I’d add an extra star if you add even more action to the app, like rewards, challenges that are created uniquely, quizzes about the books we’ve read, bookish and literature articles, and more your creative team could brainstorm on!

### 5/5 — LIFE CHANGER

*2026-08-12, version 5.5*

I’ve been using this app for a few months now and it has been a life changer it’s so easy to keep my TBR organized, you can add literally any book audiobooks too. I am absolutely obsessed with TBR bookshelf!

### 5/5 — Love!

*2026-08-11, version 5.5*

This is the prettiest book teaching app out there! I love how you can create your own bookshelf and how easy it is to use!!
