I really like how easy this app makes getting research notes out of books. Scanning bar codes and OCR has been pretty smooth, even with relatively obscure reference books. Got the yearly membership for that reason. Would very much like to see the ability to do an author search (as someone else mentioned) and search for multiple tags at once—right now I can’t search for notes that are tagged both “trust” and “promise,” for example, which means a lot of scrolling. Would love to see this continue to be developed- might even recommend it to students once it has enough going for it!Edit: Author search works well now! Still want the ability to search my notes from the app, though I can export them for search elsewhere, so it shouldn’t be a dealbreaker. Very nice functionality! Very glad I have this!

Love the app and how it operates! I wish I could connect with friends tho. Everything operates through popular Chinese apps/ social media. I’d love it if you could connect with Goodreads and Facebook! Also, if you could make it so that we can rate the books as we read them that’d be great!

Shelfie - severely disappointed
Houston-has-a-problem
I wanted an app that I could quickly scan my existing books before moving house; Granted, the scanning of barcodes is easy, but some of the major publishing houses aren’t included (eg penguin), even when manually add in by ISBN number. Very disappointed with the organization too - doesn’t even have a simple “sort by author”... who wants to go to a bookstore and search through titles to confirm if already in their collection? Logic and ease would dictate author search being much more convenient than by title.. can have 200 in your library with “The” as the first word.... but only a few with the author name!!! Good idea, poorly executed.
Developer Response
We are so sorry about your unpleasant experience with Shelfie.We have fixed a bug in 2.2.0 so please try to scan the bar code again when you need it.And we will consider your advice about sorting books by author.Many thanks about your feedback!
Good app but not sure how it works

Worthy app if it does what it claims, unfortunately I can’t figure that out. After reading some articles online I went out and got this app because I thought you could get ebooks here. So far all I’ve been able to do is scan barcodes so I can take notes on the physical books I do have. While that’s useful I can do a modified version of the same thing virtually anywhere I make notes. What interests me is finding digital copies of books I own. So far no tutorials on the app and the website listed below is in Chinese. So, looks like I may have to keep searching for a comparable app. Disappointed.
* Bug Fix: Unable to add books
* Bug Fix: Some book covers cannot be displayed
