SCAM
Unsure as to why this would be marketed as free, then you boot the game and it says “pay for full version”
Really cute cozy game
I bought this game for the vibes. It’s really fluff, with a cute story line, fun customization and interesting adventures. I also love the literary theme. Unfortunately it’s not the best phone game (might work better on a computer) because my brand new phone overheats quickly while playing the game and it drains the battery very quickly. Unfortunately I have just about finished the game and I’m hoping there will be future game play updates.

was so exited to play so downloaded for free and when i loaded onto it it asked for me to buy the game. scam
Great game!
Tiny Bookshop is an excellent game! After running through the demo, I was more than happy to pay the developers for their work. I much prefer to pay for a game once than having to sit through ads or be bombarded with paying for extras.
Like other reviewers, I have a longer TBR list than when I started. The diversity of titles is amazing. Authors and topics I recognize as well as those that are new to me abound. Philosophy, nature, self-help, romance, queerness, murder and classics abound.

Amazing - wish there was more to play!
This game is so cozy and fun. The exact right amount of challenging and repetitive to feel novel (pun intended) yet relaxing. My only complaint is that I want more content! I earned all the badges already, and it’s not keeping my attention anymore without challenges to achieve.
Trial Doesn’t Save Progress
I was excited to play this game because it’s an indie game and I love books, so I thought it would be perfect. It is perfect, however, THE TRIAL DOES NOT SAVE YOUR PROGRESS. I knew this was a “try before you buy” game and wanted to test it out before buying it. While I loved it, I was disappointed when I was taken back to the beginning. I want to play the first three days at my own pace not in one go. Would have given it five stars. I would appreciate this being fixed. If you are considering getting this game, I very much recommend it, but know you have to play the trial in one sitting.

Amazing, well done little game…BUT
As a teenager who doesn’t really speak to anyone and has nothing to do on her phone, I love this game. I really enjoy reading and cozy things and the art in this definitely stood out to me. I also think that the price of the full game is fair as there is a lot to the story and many little things you can do, along with fun quests, exploring, and talking to the different characters in game. There’s no annoying ads too, which I love. This game fills my day when I have nothing to do and I look forward to it. However, I’m not playing at the moment because every time I log onto the trial, where I’m at hasn’t been saved and I have to redo the whole scene again — and it can get pretty annoying. In my opinion, the developers should have a save option in the menu, which is especially handy for people like me who have to log off in the middle of a game sometimes. I’m not sure if this is just a bug, if clicking ‘log off’ does save your game, but it would be very helpful if you could see that your game was being saved instead of it kicking you off of the app every time you leave. Overall, this game is very well done and nicely thought out, I love the diffferent places you can go and the idea of the town, as well as the individual characters who I think are very cute. If this was a book, I’d 100% read it, because it’s my type of thing to a T. I would be willing to buy the main game if this issue is fixed, and I really want to! :)

Cute and relaxing game
I really like it! It’s very a calm and relaxing game. I’m bookish and love being able to recommend books in the game is pretty cool.
Worst
The worst game i have ever played.
Love the concept, but not the execution
I really loved this game when I first started to play it. It’s cozy and relaxing. But then you realize it’s just the same thing over and over again. It gets boring. And like a lot of touch screen games, sometimes solving puzzles and taking actions aren’t intuitive at all. I became frustrated with it. A good effort, but just not enough to keep me interested.

Need moreeeee
Love this game. It’s so cozy. I just need an expanded storyline with more locations, or maybe another town to explore. It’s just so good that I don’t want it to end.
I love this game.
I played the trial and set the game down, unwilling (at the time) to pay for it. However, I thought about this game every day until I bought it a few days later and I’m so happy I did. It’s soooooo fun. I love the characters and the world and the satisfaction of selling books out of a cute lil trailer. I don’t write reviews often, but if you are like me and can’t stop thinking about the game after the trial: just buy it. You’re supporting an indie game and team and you’ll get soooo much enjoyment out of this game. Can’t wait for the DLC!!

LOVE THIS GAME
So cozy and wholesome. Love how long the story line is. Need another game just like this!
Apple Arcade it
Great game, but way too costly. Keep the price, but put it on Apple Arcade as well
Surprising
Somehow, this game is highly addicting. There’s not much to it and it’s a very simple premise, but it’s actually really enjoyable and I honestly can’t stop playing it. Due to the repetitive nature of this game, I’m not sure exactly how long it would be fun to play continuously, but as of right now, I am really loving it.

Problem with iPad mini version
I looove the game but now that I’m using the bookstore I find that I can’t answer requests for recommendations when they land at the top of the screen. Help!
Great little game!
I took it as a grinding game at first, since that’s what I’m used to seeing/playing. Once I actually paid attention to how to play and how to complete the quests I became more involved and started loving it more! Definitely recommend.
Wish it was longer!
Honestly one of the best games I’ve ever played. I play a lot of storyline games too on my Xbox and switch, but wow I haven’t been into gaming because of how much cr*p is out there these days and this blew me away. One time purchase, no ads, no in game purchases where you just keep spending money. Such a good game, my only wish is that it was longer! 10/10

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
