This is the best book app I've come across! It let's you put in the the price and purchase date, edit page numbers, put tags, notes, whether you've lent it to someone else or borrowed it and it even has the newest feature of being able to record your rereads. If I had one suggestion though, for a feature, it would be to record the days and number of pages you've read that day (not through a timer system like other apps). Either way, this is the best book app and I highly recommend.

I think this app is really pretty good. It sorts & stores the books you want to read & tracks the books you've read, which is a plus, and even gives data on your progress which is what I med it to do. However, I'd really like to be able to filter books based on which bookshelf they're in. Right now there doesn't seem to be a way to do that, so there's almost no reason to have the option available. Lmk? Thanks

I adore this app! It's so easy to use. The batch scan is so nice compared to other apps that make you scan and save each book individually. I love that you can have multiple shelves. The only thing I can think of that would be a nice feature to have, would be to be able to manually organize and save the order of the books on my shelf according to how I have them on my physical bookshelf. Other than that, it is amazing and I recommend it to everyone.

Great place to keep track of books! Takes some time to set up, but there's no book limit like in other apps, and you can have multiple libraries. As a teacher with a large personal library and a classroom library, it's also nice to keep track of who I have lent books to. The only thing I would add is a notification when a book is due. Loving this app so far.

I read A LOT, and have been searching for long time for the best book tracking app. This one is IT! It is so easy to use, you can find so many books to add to your bookshelf. I really like that you can create different bookshelves (l've got mine separated out by genre) and that it totals how many books you've read altogether and how many in each shelf. Filter and sort options are spot on. I'm only using the free version as it suits my needs currently, but give it 5 stars hands down!

This is a great app to keep up with your books. I log every book I read to keep up with them. I read and listen to audiobooks a lot! It helps me keep track of where I am in the different my series I follow. I've set it up so I know if it was an ebook or audio, when I finished it (you can also note when you started it). What's really nice is that you can type in the title/author and it will pull up a cover of the book with all the info. So helpful!

I love it. It helps me keep a tally of how books I own, categorize and alphabetize, and when I'm at a book store, I can make sure I'm not buying a book I already have. I just wish it had to option to have sub-genres so I didn't have to have so many shelves. For example, I would love to have a fiction shelf, and from there have horror, historical fiction, etc. instead of 20 different genres (if that makes sense).

Easy tracking, Easy to use. It tracks the books I've completed better than Goodreads. I do have to search for the book but the search is easy and has a big selection to choose from. At first I inported my info from Goodreads but it did not include the Author, then switched to using the in-app search and couldn't be happier. The app also gives you book recommendations based on searches as well. I also live the ability to create custom list. Last year list, 2022 list, to read, etc. Love this app

This is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST APP for book lovers. It has given me peace of mind over any of the other apps I have used. I can scan my books 1 by 1, batch scan & categorize. It has helped me tremendously w/ my books. I also love that even if my phone breaks which my old phone did, I can reupload the app on my new phone which I did. All my books that I scanned showed up on my new phone w/having an account w/Bookshelf. Can't say enough great things about my experiences with Bookshelf. Thank you!

I've been using Bookshelf for a while now and it's hands down my favorite reading app. It's design is minimalistic but it has a ton of really unique features that I haven't seen on other trackers (you can track how much you paid for books, if you borrowed/lent them, rereads, etc). I use this for all of my actual reading tracking, and then I just use the info from that to update my other book apps.

Comforting. It's not too hard to use or understand. You don't even need a bookmark fully because this can easily work as one. I love how it tells me the percentage of book I've read. It's a very easy app that doesn't pressure you into reading like another I've used. Easy to use, easy to keep track of things as well.

Ridiculously simple to use, amazing for tracking my reading and books. I love the option to list multiple shelves it makes finding things so easy for me since I have books literally pouring out of my kitchen cabinets. I wish the reading goals had a few more options (like #number of pages/chapters instead of #of books, or reminders/push notifications to keep you on track) but I think this has been an incredible tool for me.

This is a user-friendly and robust app. It does just about everything I want. I do wish the book format was clearly marked when searching (audio, ebook, etc) but the search function itself will find just about anything, even with spelling errors, unlike another well-known app that requires your search parameters to be very precise. I do also sometimes wish to have it sync through a browser so I can edit long reviews on my laptop but I've tried many book tracking apps and this is my favorite.

This is an AMAZING app! I was looking for a way to quickly catalogue my books, and I found an app that lets me build a library, plan for future purchases, and even read reviews and track my reading! There's a few functions locked behind a pay wall, but the free experience is all I needed and then some!

I don't usually write reviews, but if you have a large collection of books, this app is a MUST HAVE! I struggled to remember what I already had, and found myself often buying the same book twice at thrift stores and since I got this app a year or so ago, I haven't had that problem anymore! I also like that you can manually add in books (I archive coloring books and often times, they don't have an ISBN). I also like that I can share my collection with others. Overall, an amazing app!

This app is straightforward, user-friendly, and does its job well. It’s great for organizing and keeping track of books. You can add books by scanning them, searching online, or entering them manually. The synchronization feature makes it easy to share, and it also supports CSV import/export. I’ve used two other apps, and this one is my favorite by far! It offers all these features for free with no annoying ads. The paid version is affordable and worth supporting, with a 7-day free trial.

I wish the title organizer could be a little more accurate. Especially with my manga titles. Some books in the series will end up in a different grouping of the series under a slightly different name. Overall, this app has been super helpful when I'm at the bookstore looking for the next installment for the series I'm reading. Thank you!

Absolutely fabulous. This app is so user-friendly and easy to use. I love that I can easily edit the prefilled information of scanned books and sort/filter by so many different categories. I've upgraded to the paid version simply because I have gotten so much use out of the app that I wanted the developers to get something. The free version actually did everything I needed and more. I have tried several options for cataloguing my extensive library and this one wins hands down. Highly recommended

I really enjoy this and have using it to organize and keep track of my physical books! I do wish they had a option to convert kindle and audiobooks over so everything is in one place. Maybe one day! But overall, great UI, is intuitive, and is VERY easy to use. So much easier to scan in books versus entering by hand! Def recommend!

Outstanding App. Easy to use. Every once in a while I'll get an erroneous book when batch scanning ISBNs, I'd put the error at about 1 in every 100 books scanned, but when I go back to input prices, a rescan usually fixes the problem. Have only come across one book where the ISBN consistently comes up differently. Wish there was a way to scan in prices along with ISBNs, but this is a minor complaint from someone with a huge library! Have already recommended it to friends.
