TBR - Bookshelf

I stumbled upon this app through an ad, and it gets the job done nicely. The idea, concept, and direction it wants to take is very evident with the presently available content they have. It’s everything I hope Goodreads would have. I particularly love the ratings (humor, spice, tears, etc.), as well as including book tropes and quotes. It’s very Booktok and Bookstagram coded, which is GREAT because that’s literally what we want and the language we speak nowadays in terms of how we look for the next book to read. The bookshelf is also very nice, though I guess I’d like more options with how they look—mainly, that I hope I’d actually get to see what the book spine looks like rather than just the title, one day. Literally putting the bookshelf on my screen would be very nice. However, the look for the TBR, Currently Reading, and Read pages are a bit hard for me to navigate through, with the book icons being way too big for my liking and no option to make it smaller. But making the Rating screen pop up as soon as I tap a book is a very nice touch. (Plus, the app is VERY responsive and loads fast!) Then there’s also the rare case of multiple results coming up for one search (i.e. two or more books of the same title popping up) and that’s somewhat inconvenient. Overall, I’ll probably mostly use this one for when I’m looking for my next read through the ratings and tropes data available, but I look forward to further UI/UX improvements and updates for this one!

Amazing app. Easy and sleek.

Finally! A digital bookshelf!

cute and nice app

just downloaded it and i love the app design.

I've been using this app for a while and absolutely love it for keeping track of all the books I've read and rated. It's been my go-to for discovering new reads and revisiting old favorites. However, I recently ran into a frustrating issue that has made me hesitate to use it as frequently. One day, out of the blue, a significant number of the books I had rated and saved to my shelf disappeared. I had around 160 books rated, and suddenly, that number dropped to just 69. It was disheartening to lose so much of my reading history, especially when I was trying to find a book I had already rated but couldn't remember the title. I still think this is a fantastic app with a lot of great features, but I hope the developers can address this issue. It's a bit discouraging to invest time into curating my library only to see it mysteriously shrink. I really want to keep using the app as I always have, but I’m hesitant until I can trust that my books will stay where I put them.

It’s cute but needs some basic upgrades like being able to delete an import, edit the reading goal (it pulled books from the year before) and so forth. I was able to delete the repeat books for the reading but then halfway through, the app stopped letting me delete a book. Restarted my phone and that didn’t even help.

Certain notes on books crash the app and will not let you add notes a bit frustrating

Please for the love of your customers fix this app! It crashes every time I tap the shelf view. I’ve reported it over email more than once and still nothing. They delete comments on Instagram about fixing bug crashes. It was good for awhile. Gonna find something else ✌🏾

I have been using TBR for 2 years and I had stored over a hundred books and now half are gone and the ones left are out of order. Is that just lost??
