Ratings and Reviews
Almost perfect
This app is very good but it would be very nice if only there were more statistics, or daily reading goals.
Developer Response ,
Hi there, I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying Bookshelf! I'm happy to share that I have added more statistics AND daily reading goals to version 2.6, so you can check both of those features out today!
Good design, poor usability
The main purpose of an app like this (for me at least) is to keep track of my reading progress by updating how many pages I’ve read. So why is this very basic function hidden behind several taps, the need to start a timed session, and several more taps? I don’t track my reading by time, but by number of pages.
An easy solution would be to have the ‘Reading Now’ section exploded on the home page as the top row, with horizontal scrolling of the book covers that you can long press for the same pop-up menu that you already have but with a new option: Update Progress where you can input the page number you’re currently at.
This would drastically improve the usability of the app while being consistent with the current design philosophy, which I really like.
I hope this feedback to be useful and that such a simple feature could be added because I’d really like to switch to this app. For the time being, I’m gonna stick with the uglier but more usable Goodreads.
Developer Response ,
Hi there! Thank you so much for your helpful feedback!
I've recently implemented almost exactly what you've mentioned in your comment—you can now access all the books you're currently reading right from the home page with a horizontal scrolling view of book covers!
I'm also working on a way to more quickly update your reading progress, so keep an eye out for that.
Happy reading and happy holidays!
Great app!
This is my absolute favourite reading-related app. The UI is beautiful, clean and intuitive. The reading mode is amazing, and I love checking my stats. Personally I don’t use the cards, but I guess it’s a nice function. The Italian translation is still not perfect, but I have to give props to the developer: I suggested a couple correction in the translation and he fixed it in a few days. Great job, wonderful app!
