Promising

I like the graphics and artsy feel, which ties in with the idea of books as a relaxing and stimulating activity.

I like the style of game you like the Sims or I’ll just tycoon games, especially with books as an English and love to be, but I feel like there should be a little bit more customization with the books and the stocks and hopefully be able to expand them get more books stores I would also like to be able to fast forward to the day possibly just because it seemed to be going a little bit slow and I wasn’t even sure how much longer in the day we had there was another really good review about how a lot of the topics were kind of biased and like not varied across the range of different topics and genres so it would be nice to see a multitude of lake opportunities. My only group is that it’s eight dollars for this game. I’m sorry but I’m not gonna take eight dollars for a game especially it’s gonna make my phone hot and my battery die fast if it was like three dollars I’d probably give it more than chance.

Aspiring Author Here

As an aspiring author, I absolutely love the cozy atmosphere of this game and the fact that every book is a real one. I’ve actually found a few of my next TBR books through this game! Love it so much

Love plus feedback

Joyful and wholesome!

Would love to be able to see long term stats, however. Eg. A table showing quantity of genres sold at locations over the whole time.
A big part of what made this fun was trying to optimise my stock. Hard to do this when you lose your data each new season

Thanks so much for the great game x

Ist okay

Das spiel an sich, macht echt Spaß und ist super süß gestaltet. Ich habe nur eine Sache zu bemängeln.
Unzwar wird mein iPad super heiß und verliert ziemlich schnell seinen akku. Vielleicht könnte man das noch optimieren.

what.

why do i have to pay money to play the full game..? i was enjoying myself playing this game and then i get hit with a “buy full game.” TELL ME WHY I HAVE TO BUY THE FULL VERSION. you shouldn’t give them a “trial” of the game. just make me buy the game in the app store.

Amazing

I absolutely love this game, I think the art and style of the characters are so cool. It’s a very calming game and definitely worth the money. I can play this game for hours without becoming bored, it’s also made me get back into reading which is great!

Adore it

I only did the free trial, but loved it so much I plan on buying it. I am now obsessed with finding more games like it. I like the payment system that allows you to try before you buy, but wish it was cheaper so it was less of a commitment, maybe 4 or 5 dollars instead of 7? Overall tho love the game, it makes me feel good about humanity

Relaxing

I absolutely love it! It’s cute fun and relaxing! I just wish you had more decor choices for things like rugs!

Loving the game…But…

I absolutely love this game and finding some good suggestions to read myself. My only problem with this is that I wish there was a way to cross save my game data from iPad to iPhone so that I done have to start over again. With my iPhone, I’m on the 1st year of spring but on my iPad, I’m already on the 11th year of spring.

Crashes 75% of the time

Barely get to play it because it crashes so frequently. Makes it tough to actually finish a level. Also makes my phone super hot? Doesn’t happen with any of my other apps just this game and I’ve seen the reviews that say the same. I even paid eight dollars as I thought it would fix it buying the full game. Nope.

Gorgeous game

I’ve had the best time playing this game, so worth the money for the full version. It’s designed so beautifully, the dialogues are clever, the game mechanics fun, the overall vibe is cosy and intelligent. I also really loved kitting out the shop with all the little items I collected. I wasn’t bored for even one moment throughout the storyline, which gave me a really decent amount of play hours. Thanks everyone that worked to put this awesome game together and I hope to find a similar game of this quality soon!

スマホ版じゃないけど

お試ししたけどスマホじゃ小さくて…。Switch版購入してやってます!楽しいです!

fully worth it!

ugh, i'm obsessed with this game. i've been waiting to play it for ages, so i'm thrilled it's on ios. i love the customization options, the cozy music, and discovering new books through the descriptions. the characters are so sweet that i've gotten attached to regulars like harper and anne and i actually get frustrated when i find the perfect recommendation for them somewhere they aren't visiting!

my only wish is that there was a way to view book descriptions while prepping the shop. otherwise, it's been such a charming experience. i love spotting books i've already read, and the inclusion of queer novels is a lovely touch. hoping to see more games like this in the future. ♡

More levels and challenges

Love this game! I wish there was more challenges/storylines

not free

it says the game is free in the app store but when you get it, it says "buy game." i completely support indie artists and would pay for the game if it were advertised as paid.

Jogo relaxante e divertido

Eu estava procurando um joguinho para relaxar, fiquei impressionada com esse. Tem uma parte para testar que mostra bem a dinâmica do jogo, nenhum anúncio, então ao menos baixem para ver!
É todo em inglês, e realmente dificulta especialmente na hora de selecionar livros para clientes se a pessoa não souber bem a língua, portanto deixo como sugestão traduzir para outras línguas, aos desenvolvedores. Sabendo inglês, é maravilhoso, um dos melhores que já joguei nos últimos tempos! Parabéns aos desenvolvedores!

Cozy & nützlich, interessante Kombi!

Klassisches, gut gemachtes cozy game. Zusätzlich: Man wird zum Bücher-Lesen genudgt. Das ist dann nicht nur cozy im Quadrat, sondern für‘s real life auch Sinnvoller als nur digitale Bilder auszumalen …

Lovely cosy app

Firstly, the game is lovely, peaceful and surprisingly addictive. I thought it was worth the 7.99 especially as once you pay, that’s it, no further ads or nonsense. But perhaps a little longer demo would be good. A lot of quests going on and you don’t really have choices about taking them all on. Would be nice to have more interesting and meaningful decisions without so much constant forced interruptions (why are there so many plants lol!) Some niggly bugs: Tomasz doesn’t show up in the journal as a character, many recommendations are too rigid (no romance in Robin Hood? Really?) and too few sites where anyone will buy kids books, but these are all things that the developer will no doubt smooth out over time. Hopefully they’ll also continue to add to the book db - one of the best elements is spotting old favourites and learning about new titles. It’s such a clever and unique game idea and I hope it will be around and continue to grow for a long time. Well done to all involved.

love!

i adore this cute little game! i love how theres lore to every character, and so much storyline alongside the puzzle aspect of the game ☺️ the aesthetics are also so cozy, and i love how customisable it is soo worth it

the most relaxing game i’ve ever played

i LOVED tiny bookshop on switch, and i’m so glad it’s on iOS now. it’s so relaxing, with gorgeous graphics and cozy background music. it helps to escape to a world where people value connection, education and empathy for others. could not possibly recommend this game more. well worth the very reasonable amount of money. 10/10.
