Bookshelf: Book Tracker & List

I found this app a couple years ago when I was looking for an app that could be just for my personal use to keep track of all the books I own physical copies of. I have a decent sized personal library of about 1500 books, and I read 75-80 books a year. I wanted a place to track it all that was just for me, and that’s how I found Bookshelf. I eventually got into the reading tracking feature - it’s fun to see how many pages I read per hour😄 I also really enjoy putting in favorite quotes from the books I’ve read, notes about the story, etc. Imho, this app is perfect if you just want a solo, nonsocial private log of your reading, what you own, and your reading speeds, etc. Intuitive, easy to use, easy to add books to, etc. I haven’t always had the paid version, but personally for $30 a year I’ve found it well worth it. I’m very impressed that a single person runs this - I’ve always been able to count on it and it doesn’t glitch or anything. Love this app!!

This app helped me get back into reading after years of not doing it. It has so many features but the one that had me hooked is the timed reading logs and stats. Knowing how much I time I have left to read and at what reading pace I go has been top notch. Also had an issue and in my case they responded within 5 minutes requesting more info which I provided and gave me a solution within 5 minutes after sending the additional information. Also has an area for future ideas that you can suggest to be implemented. Each one has a reviewing, coming next update, or implemented to track what already being suggested or has been added. This type of caring for its users is what puts them above all other book keeping apps. I already bought into the yearly subscription but will now go for the lifetime upgrade, when I can.
