User reviews
Excellent way to track my books. My special interest is Literary Horror; I buy a lot of books. Before Bookshelf, it wasn't uncommon to end up with doubles/triples of a book. Having a record on my phone mostly solves this. I also like that it allows .manually adding books: I love rarities that typically aren't in the system, although it's time-consuming, so I don't like how often this occurs. Only major problems I've had were in trying to import/export to or from Goodreads & other book programs.

Other than drag & drop sorting and being able to one click select everything when selecting multiple books, I honeslty wish this had a site to use as well. I like this app but multitasking and cross referencing can be a bit annoying to do on a phone, especially when it comes to ebook info. The social stuff feels kind of half baked. I know it wasn't about that at the start & it doesn't have to be twitter, but the sense of community isn't really here.

I like this app but the search feature is trash. I mainly look up books via total because I read ebooks and the Amazon description does not give you the ibsn. I have such a hard time finding books by the title. I like the different features like a lifetime option for the pro version and the wishlist. I do wish you could put tags on books on your wishlist to differentiate between books you are waiting for release and those you just want to add to a tbr pile. Good but room for improvement
