TBR - Bookshelf for Positive User Reviews

I like the layout…However I read my books in a certain order but once you put them in read it mixed it up. Could there be an option after you said you read them to shuffle them in the correct order. Or even if someone wanted it to be alphabetical. Just a thought thanks ☺️.Version: 1.2

Love the simplicityI tried so many other apps and ended up sticking with this one. I do enjoy the simpler layout and the cute little book graphics on the goal page. I very rarely have trouble finding books with the search feature. The one thing I wish would be added is being able to either export your books to the app on a different device or to be able to link the app on a different device. It would be cool to be able to access on both your phone and your ipad or something since I use that to read often! (:.Version: 1.2

The Next BEST book appThis is a much more satisfying reading tracker than good reads and the rating system is amazing everyone needs to download. The only thing is I would like the pro features to be included but I understand that may not be possible.Version: 2.9

Great but needs a little more loveAmazing app love the concept of it. I love the aesthetic of the whole thing. Specially love the rating and annotations. A few things I would either update or add. When books are entered adding a Kids, YA or Adult genre on them. Book spice rating 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 A better search feature. Currently its very difficult to find the book you are looking for. A lot of people seem to be adding their own name as the author and not the book author, so searching by author doesnt work too well. When you search something, it seems to pull up anything that has any letters that are used. When you look up a book in a series having an option to view all the books in the series. (This would be easier to add a whole series to read or your tbr) Would be nice to add friends and view their tbr/read books or profile. Overall I will keep using this app as ai find it more visually appealing then others and I cant wait to see where it goes..Version: 2.8.1

NoiceThis app would be much better if you could see others peoples reviews, but overall this app does the job and is really good for keeping track of the books you’ve read..Version: 2.8.1

Mostly love this app but…I’ve had this app for several months now. I used it to track all my reading for 2022 and now this year. I love how the bookshelf helps me visualize my goal and keep track of what I’ve already accomplished. My only complaint is the color of the books on the shelf. Both in 2022 and 2023 the books are numbered in gray and as you read the title of the book replaces a number and the color of the book change, however I dislike how the color is still so close to a gray tone. It’s beige, or dull pink, or dull blue, or even sometimes stays gray. At first glance they blend with the numbered spaces so much I can’t enjoy the progress I’m making on my shelf. You can pay for new colors, and I would if it was a one time purchase to unlock colors, but paying a monthly fee to unlock colors is crazy. I just wish the basic color scheme was not in the gray family. I don’t need fancy, but I also don’t see the point in the shelf when the colors are so close..Version: 3.2.2

Perfect!!!It’s everything i luv it it’s the best.Version: 3.2.2

RatingA little confusing to use, but overall pretty good app. Do wish reading the books was cheaper or free..Version: 3.3.1

I love this book tracker!!I've seen this app running popping up occasionally on my TikTok and I downloaded it right away! i LOVE that I can see all my read books on a bookshelf and i think the unique rating system is so fun!! This app is better than Good Reads in my opinion!! 100% recommend!.Version: 1.2

Great app but missing half starsReally like the app but it would be great if you could give half stars instead of just full stars :).Version: 1.2

Great App, w/ some suggestionsThis app works great. The set up and look is really nice. I do have some suggestions : I think a feature you could add to the Currently Reading section is an option where you can change the format of the book. There would be “total book time” rather than “total book pages”. I think that would be more accurate for audiobooks. Also, adding a tutorial option in settings would help, especially for first time users. Lastly, an option to favorite books that we read. There is some occasional crashing that happens, I’m not sure why. Hopefully that can be resolved. Other then that, the app is wonderful, with lots of useful features. I think the rating feature is almost perfect. I would definitely recommend..Version: 2.7.1

Great for tracking readingGood simple app concept that is easy to use and helps me track my TBR’s so I can have them down somewhere instead of keeping them all in my head 😭.Version: 3.3.1

Perfect virtual bookshelfI absolutely adore this app - it’s visually pleasing and easy to track TBRs and finished books. However I need help figuring out how to updated the current reads so it shows the percentage complete etc. I can’t figure out how to update what page I’m on and I don’t know if it’s me being silly..Version: 3.2.2

Amazing!!I have unlocked the pro version and I have to say this app is just great. I needed something that would help me keep track of my physical books and to make sure I actually read them. The app is super user friendly and easy. It’s also aesthetic which just encourages me to make use of it. You can add your books and then add them to your “read/goal” pile when you’ve read them. After you’ve read them you can rate it, leave your fav quotes, fav characters and so much more! I’ve recommended people on my bookstagram to use it so I hope it gets more use. Definitely will be using this in the foreseeable future..Version: 3.1.1

Need some improvementI love this app and how you can save the books you’ve read for the year but I really want some updates. The updates that I want are: you can delete some books you’ve read that year and easily change your reading goal even if you haven’t reached it yet. Cause it’s been really bugging me that I can’t reset it. But overall a fabulous, stunning app to use! Would totally recommend it to friends..Version: 3.1.2

Enjoying so farI’m enjoying this app so far. It’s a little glitchy but I’m sure that’ll get worked out. I love all the options when rating the books and I love how cute the bookshelf is on the goal tab. I would love this app even more if we had an option to see our tbr in the bookshelf style too.Version: 2.5

Love this app!When I had a problem the developers got back to me quickly which was amazing because I love this app and how easy it is to keep track of the books you’ve read and your TBR. Another great feature is how you’re able to manually add a book to your TBR if it doesn’t show up in your search. The best part is you don’t have to pay for anything unless you want to!.Version: 3.4.5

Love it so far!I actually really enjoy this app. It helps me keep track of the books I’ve read and if I wanna recommend a book to a friend, just makes everything a bit more easier. Allows me to rate the books, add my favorite quotes, and write a little summary of my thoughts. Another great thing, it lets me keep a TBR list, so I can know what books to look for when I’m at the store. Overall, I love it so far!.Version: 2.5

I liked it but a new feature would be coolI like how you can see the rating of a book but not the humour rating, spice rating, fluff rating, etc. Besides that I love this app but I also wish that there were more suggestions. Please get this app it is awesome!.Version: 2.7.1

Love the app!I love the app, it’s very visually appealing and it’s very easy to organize information! One thing I don’t like though is that the genres you can pick in your rating are very limited. I would love it if there were more options for genres or if you could manually input the genre as an option on the other category..Version: 2.6

Like it so farI just found this app and am liking it so far. Tried to change colours on book spines and keeps closing app. It would also be nice to have the authors names on the spines. I will also be adding previous years to it..Version: 3.2.2

Very Good AppThe app was definitely designed by someone who wants to thoroughly rate their books and made it fun and very aesthetic. I love how you can see the books you have read and it’s a goal to actually look at. One thing I would really like to see is a larger database for the books. I input more books than I don’t. The second page of the rating part is also frozen and will not work. This is very frustrating after paying for the pro package. I would really hate to delete the app and restart for this issue but it is annoying at best..Version: 3.2.1

Awesome App!The app has some awesome rating features! I especially love the fact you can rate half stars and other qualities about the book. I wish there were a couple other functions. Book suggestions based on genres or user ratings. And a friend or community function..Version: 3.4.9

Just one slight problemI just got it and it’s pretty good so far except when I was putting in the books I have already read it said that I finished them today but I could Change it. The only problem it that I don’t know the exact date when I read the books so it would be better if the date was an optional thing. Other than that the app is good. It’s also really good that they respond to the reviews, shows that they care. 👍🏾.Version: 2.1

Good for trackingI use a lot of apps to read and listen so this allows me to log all books in one place. Most functions work well, but when I try to edit the finish date the screen freezes and I have to kill the app. It would also be good to have a back button for the search so if I click on an author but want to redo a search I was on before instead of starting over..Version: 3.1.2

AddLove this app! Would be amazing if it had something like Spotify wrapped but for books..Version: 3.0

Amazing!I love this app. Just got it the other day and it’s super easy to use and I can perfectly keep track of all the books I’m reading. My only issue is that I was putting in books I’ve already read this year and it wouldn’t let me change the start and finish date on the books..Version: 3.4.4

Good- No Nonfiction option….This app is awesome! i’ve loved it and i’ve loved having a place to store all the books i’ve read, and my goals. One thing that this app is lacking, though, is the nonfiction genre. I’ve tried to rate a nonfiction book and it was just awkward. “predictability,” “tear rating,” “humor,” none of it really fit...Version: 3.2.2

It's a Good AppI really like it and all the features it comes with, I just wish that it would let me edit the start dates and end dates because I've messed up on a rating before and I couldn't go back to fix it. That's my only complaint. Other than that I love how it's not overly complicated..Version: 3.4.8

Good but needs some fixesI really like this app, however it sometimes crashes when I select a book to add to my tbr. Also I think it would be nice to have a function to add books that don’t come up when you search for them. I really love the review system this app has and am excited to continue to use it..Version: 1.2

Love the app but scared of losing my logged infoI’ve had the app for a couple of months and I love it! It’s so satisfying seeing all my completed reads and I enjoy the rating system. However I just realized that there isn’t a way to save all of the info you log on. I’ve put a lot of my thoughts down when I finish a book and I’m terrified of my phone breaking or something and then losing everything. I wish there was a way to have your own account that you can log into to keep everything secure..Version: 2.1

A few suggestionsI haven’t tried it too much yet, but loving what I’ve tried so far but do have a couple of suggestions for things I’ve run across! 1. I just wish there was a way to add things into a series — like if I’ve read 1, 2 & 3 in a series, I’d like to be able to say which one is 1, 2 or 3 and to be able to say which series they’re from as I own so many! 2. If also love a subcategory within the “Other” category so I can add a note as to whether it’s manga or sci-fi etc 3. If like you be able to scan or type in the book’s barcode so the app can figure out what cover/edition I have and to narrow down the amount of books popping up in the search function.Version: 2.1

Back upI’m enjoying this app. I just came across it. I love how I’m able to organize and rate my books. Would love it even more if I’m able to save my progress and all the input I have entered. So far I have the free version but the only reason I don’t pay for the subscription. Is just incase I lose my phone, I won’t lose all that money I have spent on the app. But as soon as they have a back up. I would pay for the subscription. :) Also I would like to see the book pages on the rating section. So I can have a visual on how many pages were on the book..Version: 3.2.2

Glitchy but goodAbsolutely love the rating system, it has everything i’d want to note down on a review and allows half stars which tops goodreads. There’s also a currently reading & TBR section - super organised and easy to access. On the down side, I’ve been having a constant glitch whenever i click on the ‘read’ and ‘goals’ section. Every time it glitches me out of the app so i’m unable to check them. It’s not a big deal since i already know which books i’ve read but it is a little irritating.Version: 2.4

Great app but it doesn’t syncThis app is great for organizing the never ending list of books you want to read and books that you have read. It’s pretty easy to search for the books as well. The biggest problem that I have is that the app doesn’t sync with my iPhone and iPad. I have tried everything and nothing works. I tried to find a way to contact support but was unsuccessful. Also, there is no button to login for your account either which is really annoying too. Hopefully future updates will fix these problems..Version: 3.4.5

Possible add on?Love the app and it had been super helpful keeping track of the books I want to read! Wish there was a way to search through my TBR section (unless I just can’t figure out how?) I feel like I’m adding a decent amount of books manually (which im ok with) but sometimes I’m double adding because I look them up and they don’t come up in the main search if it’s been manually added. Maybe I’m manually adding wrong? Still a good app!.Version: 3.0.1

So much to love! Not quite what I needI read on Kindle Unlimited a lot, but there’s a limit of 20 books. I need a way to keep track of series that are unfinished that I’ve started reading. This app is great for marking the books in the series as read and then freeing up space on my kindle, but I wish there was a way I could mark them together in a series, and/or mark them as an unfinished series that I need to come back to when the next book is released. Other than that, this app is perfect!.Version: 2.7.1

A Bookworm’s Dream Come TrueI am absolutely in love with this app. It’s truly a dream come true. I’ve been looking for the book tracking app and I’ve found it. It’s easy to use. The rating system is functional and fun. You can add books to your TBR with a click of a button. It tracks books you’ve read and puts them on a shelf. You can rate books. I’ve tried Goodreads and didn’t like it. This is perfect for the people who want to start a reading journal but have a hard time doing it on paper. We always have our devices on us..Version: 1.1

Would recommendYou look up books to add to your “to be read” or TBR list. If you can’t find your book or your book doesn’t have a cover photo you can add those. I like that you can bookmark what you are currently reading. There is a bookshelf of books to be read and book shelf of books you have read! You set a yearly goal (default 25) but u can add as many books as you’d like! Also the reviews for the books specify the genre and trope :) I love this app!.Version: 2.7.1

My favorite book app to date!I have downloaded many book tracking apps and have struggled to find one that tracks by year. I absolutely LOVE being able to add a book to the bookshelf every time I finish it, especially because 95% of my books are audiobooks or ebooks. You can easily add to your TBR, keep track of what you’re currently reading, and see your finished shelf. This review has been updated to reflect that the feature I was looking was already there. Thank you to the developer for guiding me through how to do it! Could not love this app more!.Version: 3.4.9

WishWish it was free to annotate anything.Version: 2.1

Loving this!!I love all the ways you can rate, track and keep notes on the books I’m reading. The only thing that I’m needs work on is it’s not as easy to simply search by Authors instead of titles. But I’m over all very happy to have this and I’m slowly going through my goodreads to get rid of it!!!😁😁😁.Version: 2.6

Love itThank you it’s so much fun and keeping me organized <33.Version: 2.3

Good recommendationHi i think this app is great but i wish you could browse lots of books aswell as possibly filtering them eg if you’re looking specifically for some new fantasy books.Version: 2.3

Such an amazing app !!If you are a reader looking for a cozy place to track your books, reviews, and even set your reading goal this is your app. I love it more than anything in this world even when it gets a bit laggy. :].Version: 3.2.1

4 1/2 Stars! I loooooove this app!I had the free version of this app for a couple of days and immediately subscribed for the extra paid features because I am loving the app! There are SO many options for adding information about the books you’re reading — way more than other apps I’ve used. The only thing I’d love to see be updated is when adding newly read books to your reading goal shelf for this year, the books going to the bottom / end of the shelf (I hope that makes sense). I input all of my read books from the start of the year to now but had to do it backwards (Oct—>Jan) so that the books I read first this year were at the top, but NOW when I add a new book it goes right in front of what should be #1 on my shelf… which makes it seem like I read it early this year instead of being #55 like it should be… ya know?? (I really hope this makes sense) lol!! Another feature I’d love is an option to mark off what version(s) of the book you own because sometimes I have a kindle AND physical copy, or audio AND physical copy… because yes, I have issues lol Anyway. This is just me looking for things that could be improved because other than those things, I am so pleased with this app!! 🤗📚.Version: 2.8.1

Love it!!I love the app! It’s so simple and easy to use! The only thing I wish I could change is that I want to be able to select the year I read the book. I want to put books on my “read” page and rate them without them going toward my reading goal for this year. Is that possible?.Version: 1.2

Absolutely love this appThis is one of the best apps ever. Putting in books manually is amazing for when I can’t find one, and saving and rating them all makes me feel so accomplished ! My only problem, which isn’t even really a problem, is I wish there was a social aspect. I want to send book recs to my friends and see what they are reading and what they rate books! Being able to interact with book lovers would be a great social aspect that I think everyone would benefit from!! But other than that, amazing app ❤️.Version: 2.7.1

I like it but needs some improvementMy favorite thing about this app is the reading challenge. I was previously using goodreads to track my yearly challenge but this is so much cuter and the rating system is a lot better. I love how it shows you your bookshelf and how many more you need. My main issue with this app right now is the database, I have had to manually input 90% of the books I read which can be really frustrating and time consuming because I have to find the title, author and a cover photo before it lets me submit it. I wish that books other people manually add would be added to the database for everyone, right now it is extremely limited. However you can add any books you need it just takes a long time. I also think a social aspect would be nice, having friends or seeing other reviews. Overall I am happy with this app and love supporting a smaller company. You can tell the creators are readers themselves. Just improving the database would make a huge difference!.Version: 2.8.1

Really great!I love this app already 🥰 I just wanted to say that I think it would be cool to have a “tbr randomizer” if you wanted to pick more freely from your tbr(like a random generator), and a way to just browse through books instead of having to search for a book to add to your tbr. I can’t wait to see what else they do with organization of series and the function of the different tbr shelves you can make. I love the look and feel of the app, ESPECIALLY the ‘Read’ tab. *chef’s kiss*.Version: 3.2.2

What I’ve wanted from a book app…This has exactly what I’ve wanted most from a book app. Barcode scanning, TBR list that can look like a bookshelf, being able to rate books one content (a fluff rating for romance novels?! Perfect.), and the ability to mark the format I’ve read my book in. For such a new app it has such amazing potential and I can’t wait to see what’s coming next..Version: 3.0.1

Still loveI love this app because I borrow and return a lot of books with kindle unlimited and then often forget the names and potentially want to re-read one. I’m just wondering if the selection of books is going to expand. I like that I can add my own if they aren’t on there but I feel like I’m having to manually add a ton which isn’t ideal. I would like to see maybe a search bar in the read section. To not only look up books but the notes made on a book. If you are trying to find a book based off something you maybe wrote in the notes section of the review but don’t remember the name of the book itself. This would be crucial because you often remember a key part of a book and likely noted that but when you try to look up a book based on that on the internet it probably won’t show up. But you would be able to find it here..Version: 2.7.1

RavishingI absolutely love this app. The ability to create a TBR book shelf is amazing. I think the thing I’m missing is being about to see how others feel about the book I’m reading. I don’t mind paying for the rating system though it’s a little much but you know someone took time to develop this app so I’m okay with it. I think I’ll be promoting this app a little more than I do Goodreads. It’s worth it..Version: 2.7.1

Previous yearsHey, this is a really cool app and I’d like to catalog all of my reading, but I can’t figure out how to add readings to the previous years? I just downloaded it, and I want to have my readings in the correct years, but is my only option to catalog my last year’s reading along with this one?.Version: 3.3.1

Worth itI usually hate apps that are free but have a paid aspect. You really aren’t missing too much with this. You can still create a TBR list, and my favorite part is the book shelf. I am considering paying for the payed part to track the books I’m currently reading. Not very many glitches and easy to find new books to read as well..Version: 2.1

Works most of the timeUpdate- they are working on fixing the bugs and told me how to fix the blank spots in my bookshelf. Happy with the response🙏🏻 It works most of the time. However, after adding around 30 books to my yearly goal, there have been a few bugs. App closures after clicking on book titles, and a lack of book covers for some books which means they show up as a blank spot in my Goal section. Also, there’s no help section in the app which makes it extremely difficult to remedy these issues..Version: 1.2

Great concept- buggyI love the concept! I need this to sort the ever growing TBR of mine. I didn’t bat an eye while getting the pro features. I went to view a book I marked as currently reading, and it would just exit the app repeatedly everytime I tried to do anything with a “currently reading” book. Love the rating system in the different genres. As well as a brain dump area for thoughts on the book that isn’t a review, BRILLIANT! I only ask they fix a few bugs and then this is perfect!.Version: 2.7.1

Love love loveI absolutely love the app and the details to the rating system is their one honestly. now i am the fiend that uses multiple apps to track my books but one thing i like about Goodreads and storygraph is I have a profile and a way to access my everything on any device with logging in. I’m on my iPad and download tbr but there’s no way to log in or sync up what i’ve already done on my phone to my iPad.Version: 3.2.2

Love love loveI am just loving this App so far. Downloaded it last night and it’s so fun and creative😍.Version: 2.4

Love!I’ve already left my raving review and now I have some constructive criticism for the developers! #1 For a series I’d love for there to be an options for putting the whole series in your TBR and/or read list with one button and to somehow keep them in order when looking at them so it’s prettier and more organized! #2 I would love a way to see other peoples reviews on books! #3 I would love some sort of sign in option so I don’t have to worry about losing anything if my phone breaks. #4 I love to genre option but most of what I read is fantasy/romance and thriller/romance. When reviewing I’m only given an option to choose one genre and I would love it if I could pick multiple! And lastly I’d like to say that for the app being so new it’s still a hit! And I understand all of what I’ve said above is probably being worked on for future updates! I’ll just be here patiently waiting :)! Great work!!.Version: 2.5

GoodIt’s great for tracking books and I hope they add more features soon. Easy to use and you can set your own goals on book reading. Would be great for younger kids in school systems to use to keep track and they will get to write a review about the books they like most might make it fun for them especially if there is prizes for most books read!.Version: 2.6

Wish I could edit…Love the concept of this app. I moved from Goodreads over to TBR. One important thing I wish was available in the free option is editing the book pages on books that are not accurate in the app. Signing up for the Pro version does come with TON of perks like customizing your bookshelves and different themes. I still have to use Goodreads for tracking my reading progress but I would love it if I could just do it all in the TBR..Version: 3.3.1

The only book tracking app that works for meI’ve been looking for book trackers for a while and almost all of them have strict in-app purchases. While it does include it they’re not necessarily needed features you can pay for. For example there isn’t a limit on the amount of books you can upload you can change the covers. And most of all it’s cute like it’s not an ugly app like good reads i find to be kinda bland. But my favorite app..Version: 3.3.1

Easy to use, simple appDefo wish we could add in a to be bought section!.Version: 3.0.1

Rekindled my love of readingI absolutely adored this book, I will normally take quite a while to finish most books but I devoured this in a week and bought the rest of the series after reading halfway through. I feel like the hype is so incredibly justified. I fell in love with the characters fairly quickly, the action the romance and everything in between is fantastic and I am now half way through the second book. I cannot recommend it enough!.Version: 3.1.2

Easy to navigateI love this app, helps me keep track of all my books, the pro version has heaps of cool features and is relatively cheap.Version: 2.7.1

Love thisI really love the concept and it’s really amazing. For those who don’t get subscriptions, to read books on it has a subscription. But I love this for when I go to the bookstore, I’ll never forget an authors name or a title again because it’s right there..Version: 2.2

Good enoughI have just gotten the app and so far it seems great! The system seems nice, but the app design could use some work. From the app icon you come under the impression that it will be all aesthetically pleasing, warm brown tones, but then you click on and its just basic dark grey and white dark mode. Expected better. Also, it could be quite nice if the developers could add a browsing or maybe a recommended section? Where based off previous genres and how the user rated them, the app could suggest similar books the user might enjoy. Just thought it’d be cool. Overall, not bad, but could be better. :).Version: 2.7.1

AccountI love this app it makes tracking my books so fun and cute! The only thing that isn’t the best is since I do t have a pro account I don’t technically have an account. I would love to be given the option to make an account incase I need to switch devices and don’t want to lose my progress with the cute book shelves!!.Version: 3.4.9

Perfect! Less focused on social sharing than others.I love this app! It’s exactly what I was looking for. I can include just enough details from my reading to capture the experience of the book without getting bogged down in tedious stats i don’t care about. What separates this app from the others is the lack of social sharing of reading. Yes no social aspect! My reading is personal to me and I’m not interested sharing what I’m reading or what others are ( there are many other places on the internet for that). I love that this is essential a digital book journal just for me. I’ve seen many reviewers request a social feature. My ask is that if this feature comes to be, that there is an option to be “invisible” . I don’t want my contacts knowing I’m on the app and have to awkwardly turn down their requests to connect. A feature I would love to see is the ability to add unique book shelves for books already read ( different from tbr shelf). I’d love to create shelves such as “all time favorites” or “books I recommend” or “ books that helped me grow” whatever categories users want to create. I adore this app it, perfectly fits my needs and’s is visually appealing. I can’t wait to see how it evolves and grows! Thanks developers!.Version: 3.4.4

Separate bookshelves for each yearI love this app and it’s a great way to keep track of what I read, but I think it would be useful if it separated what you read in 2022 in a different bookshelf from what your gonna read in 2023 instead of adding it on to the same one. I don’t like the idea that I might have to delete what I read last year so that I can start a new reading goal this year.Version: 3.1
