Ratings and Reviews
Amazing app
I’ve been searching for a book tracking app that has everything I want and this was the one I landed on. I immediately bought the lifetime use solely because this was the only app I could find with everything I’ve been looking for.
That being said there are a couple things I wish were included such as: an option to batch scan books into the app, being able to look at stats for specific years (current options are weekly stats and all time), and being able to add pictures into the notes (I read a lot of manga and wish I could insert pictures of my favorite panels).
There was also one problem I encountered with tracking audiobooks. You have to manually put in the time in minutes your audiobooks are but when you do that the app doesn’t correctly translate that into hours. Example: I had a 12 hour audiobook and put it that it is 720 minutes and then the app translated that into 24 hours. Normally this wouldn’t be a big issue because I’d just alter the minutes until it’s correct but then when you’re timing reading sessions it makes the stats wrong.
Although I think there are some things that could be added, this app is amazing and I will continue to use it for tracking my reading😊
Well developed, functional, and polished
Feature request: Please add a feature where I can import screenshots and use OCR to get the text from a screenshot (when adding a “Note”). Right now, I can use the camera to add text from a book, but what if I’m reading an e-book on my phone? I can’t take a picture of my phone.. unless I get another phone 😂
I spent weeks looking for an app that would help me track my reading, and this has been by far the best one. It has all the features I want, without the burden of being tied down with a subscription. If this app ever adds a subscription model, I’m out!

Thanks so much for your kind words—I'm glad you're enjoying Bookshelf!
Great idea—I've added that feature request to my backlog! In the meantime, iOS15 allows you to copy and paste text directly from images and screenshots, so you can actually accomplish your goal from the Photos app!
Please let me know if you have any other suggestions or concerns and I'd be happy to address them!
A Fantastic App
I’m a book blogger and new to this app. I read a mix of Advanced Reader Copies and Backlist as well as new releases a month. I loved that this app had the books I’m reading as Advanced Copies. I also love the note cards, as I’m not one that writes down quotes I want to remember, now I can just put them on a note card. I love the quizzes option, although I haven’t tried it yet. I’m also a big fan of the stats it gives you. I took a star out of the rating because in my phone the app stopped working. I press it, but it never opens. Luckily I was able to restore my purchase of Gold for the year on my IPad which seems to work great. Oh! Also, I love how this app has a timer or just let’s you read if you don’t want to set a timer, or if you want to keep reading.

Hi Steph!
I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying Bookshelf and all its features! I'm glad that you've managed to restore your data, and am excited to announce that the original syncing issue that caused the crash has been fixed, so you should hopefully never experience that inconvenience again!
Please let me know how I can make Bookshelf even better by submitting feedback through the app or emailing me at alexandergerrese@gmail.com!
