TBR - Bookshelf for Negative User Reviews

Can’t see ratings beforehandThe whole reason I downloaded this was to finally see different kinds of ratings rather than just stars before wanting to read a book. So really this is no different and actually far less useful than something like Goodreads..Version: 2.5

Enjoyed but could be betterI enjoy the app and the look is very cute but there are things that should be improved. If the book isn’t in the database you can’t add it yourself so some books i want to read i’m going to forget about or have to start a list somewhere else. There isn’t a currently reading tab. You can keep track of all the books you are reading at the moment so you don’t forget about one. This would also be cool because you could use the date you started reading and the finished date to see how long it took you to read the book. Going to keep using the app for now..Version: 1.2

Good start but needs updates to be usableI love the concept of this app and would love to use it, but there are features missing that make it so I won’t continue using it. For one, if a book isn’t in their database you cannot add it in yourself (a feature that apps like StoryGraph allow). So some books I’ve read I cannot track on this app. When you go to add a rating it will make you select a category (e.g., romance, self-help, classics) but there are only 6 categories. You cannot add a rating if you don’t select a category but many books will not fit into the available category options (e.g., memoirs, poetry, mysteries). I only used the app briefly but these were the issues I ran into while trying to add all the books I’ve read this year. I’m hoping to come back to it in the future and maybe it’ll be more user friendly then :).Version: 1.1

Great app one downsideI love this app. The only downside is I wish I could sync the app between my phone & tablet..Version: 3.2.2

More functions neededThis app seems amazing for fellow bookish lovers, but I wish there was an option to import our GoodReads library as I have over a thousand books and I don’t have the time or patience to add them all manually :((. Otherwise, I would be using this 100% and recommending it to everyone..Version: 2.8.1

Search problemI downloaded the app because i saw it on tiktok and it seemed pretty interesting. i had it for a few days and it was really great! the only thing is is that i went to the search section and nothing would show up. i tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but nothing shows up when i type a title… great app so far but PLEASE fix this or tell me why it’s happening….Version: 2.6

It’s a good app but it keeps crashingI like the app but every time i go to update on the page i’m on in a book or go to review it the app crashes.Version: 2.7.1

Bug problemNow 2022 is over it has split the books i read last yr in half, so half the books i have read last yr are still there and half of them are blank. I find this frustrating as it’s a yearly reading tracker so isn’t it supposed to be refreshed altogether on the bookshelf. I don’t want to remove the books that are still on my bookshelf from last yr because then the app would think i haven’t read it so if it’s not fixed soon i will be finding a new app. I also went to update the app on the appstore when i saw this problem and it didn’t change..Version: 3.1

Seems like a good startJust downloaded the app. I love the goal page. Seems like a good start to the app. 5 or 6 books I read aren’t available. So hopefully they start to add more books to their catalog. Most of them not found are indie authors. Would be awesome to include fanfiction. I like the tracking options but won’t pay for that feature..Version: 2.9

Fell out of love, frustrations too muchI was using tbr for 3 months now but had to stop as the app kept closing by itself, and the books I had in my tbr for some of them would come up as having not existed even if I put it in manually or just searched it up. It was doing it more and more frequently too so I finally gave up and went back to the other reading apps I was using. Overlll I do like it and the design but It’s just having too many bugs.Version: 3.2.2

Love but I have a questionI like the layout but is there a way to add books so they aren’t included in my reading goal so I can have all my books on there ?.Version: 1.2

Love it but there are bugsI love the app and how u can rate the spicy level but after a few day of using it, it would let me search up anything and when i clicked on a book in my TBR it kick me out of the app..Version: 3.4.5

Doesn’t Sync with IcloudI have enough storage in my icloud. I also made sure in my settings that the app was set to sync the data in my icloud. I don’t know why it won’t sync though so if you want to use it on both your phone and ipad it won’t work. If you also delete the app and redownload it, the data will be gone. This is a bummer because I want it to save the books I read and be able to use it on multiple devices. I even waited 72 hours for the initial sync and it still doesn’t work. If these feature ever works, I would love to try this app again..Version: 3.4.5

Disappointed!!!So when I first downloaded this app I was really excited because I saw the video on Tiktok of how easy it was to keep track of all the books that you want to read and or have read and also the setup was cute. So I thought let’s give it ago. But the fact you have to pay for this app is ridiculous, you are able to input one book and then boom you have to pay for it. That’s unreal. At this point people just use Goodreads it’s free and they actually have all the books inputted already so you don’t have to do it yourself..Version: 2.1

I want to love but can’t just yet.I feel like this app has such great potential. I liked the look of the books on the shelf. I wanted it to be my go to rather than the other stuffy apps but the database didn’t have half of the books I’ve read and adding manually was a lot harder than I though. Got seven books in and I called it quits. I can’t wait to see the improvements they continue to make..Version: 3.2.1

Love the app but…My star rating will go up as I use the app. I did just install it. I am so far finding that when I am looking up books and reading what they are about the text is not able to be enlarged by stretching my screen as I would usually do when reading tiny text. If this could be fixed or enlarge the standard text you are using I’m hands down loving the app with no complaints. But with such tiny text on my bad eyes would be the only reason I would stop using it so far. Please enlarge or allow the images to be manipulated so that my phone can enlarge it. Thanks!.Version: 2.5

Didn’t really like itI downloaded this app off of a tiktok and thought it would be great to help organise my reading, however I was deeply disappointed to see how it didn’t do much. Most things costed money and I couldn’t find a lot of the books I was reading/wanted to read. It was difficult to use and it didn’t provide any extra features to be more appealing. Although I didn’t like it maybe you will I do encourage you to try it.Version: 2.7.1

Something extremely strange and weird i found….When l was looking up a book, it started with the letter U, and i saw a ton of legal US documents for some reason. some were pictures that were taken in real life while most where on a computer or a photocopy. why is there legal documents on here for the public to see? i find it extremely strange..Version: 3.4.5

Good at the start…When I saw this app on tiktok I immediately fell in love with it. I have been trying for months to get back into reading and creating a TBR without being a hassle. I enjoyed the app at first until I realized that in order to see titles and make it aesthetically pleasing to the eye, I had to pay for everything. I wish there were at least a few free options for things and then if you wanted more you had to pay. But the fact that it’s just plain and grey unless I pay is upsetting… And it would be cool to se other people’s ratings. (I know it’s already been said multiple times but it would be a really cool feature.).Version: 3.1.1

Manually add booksThis is a great concept but not all books are one the app.. I wish there was a way where I could manually add a book..Version: 2.2

MAJOR GLITCHAs soon as you get on to the app and go to rate a book or go to your tbr, the app glitches and goes back to your Home Screen. Please fix this immediately it makes it impossible to add more books to your read section!.Version: 3.4.1

MehMaybe about 8 out of 10 books just can’t be found on this app, they aren’t obscure books either they’re quite popular books so you’d assume they’d definitely be on the app but nope. It’s just overall kind of a let down, I don’t like the feel or look of the app just feels like very little thought or time was put into its development..Version: 2.7.1

ConfusedI can’t figure out how to read a book.Version: 3.4.5

Can’t Update Read DatesSaw an ad on TikTok and downloaded the app. While being a super cute App and I’m looking forward to using it…unfortunately the adjust read dates isn’t working so unless I remember to start using it again at the end of the year, it just doesn’t make sense for me to use this app at this point in the year if I can’t adjust the read dates. It also seems to freeze when I do try to adjust the read dates..Version: 3.2.2

Not for meI thought I would give it a try and just not for me I wouldn’t use half of what they offer and the ones I would use they want a monthly fee and it would be double the price for me in Australia so it’s a big pass for me.Version: 2.8.1

I want to love it…I want to love it however it’s missing some features and therefore renders the app … basic. There’s no trending book categories, no way to find what’s “new”. And payed features? For what? Haha. The only “neat” feature is the rating system. And so if you ask yourself, is it just to track what you want to read and have read? Fine. But you can only do that. Read or TBR. There’s no way for me to track progress of the book I’m currently reading by page number. It’s not quite a library there really isn’t a way for me to have a catalogue of my books. It’s the most stripped down version of Goodreads possible and I don’t think saying “we don’t have ads” is a justifiable alternative. You might as well just use Goodreads and enjoy the ability to see what the world is reading… that’s how you find new books to enjoy. I’m not ready to make the switch yet! Good luck!.Version: 3.2.2

Does not have all books onI opened the app so that i could track the last book i just read ti discover it hadn’t got that book as an option and on further investigation it doesn’t have a lot of the books i read..Version: 1.2

It’s okJust not very aesthetic or user friendly..Version: 3.3.1

Love the idea behind it buttttI only downloaded it because I saw the creator (or someone promoting the app) post it on tik tok but I was under the impression that I was going to be able to see how other people rated the book in more than just stars, I’m a sucker for a specific type of book with a specific level of romance, tears or suspense so I would have more use out of the app if this feature was added. Still a really great app to track your own reading.Version: 2.7.1
