Features & Capabilities

Shelfy turns reading into a visual, low-friction experience. Add books via search or barcode, see them on a beautiful bookshelf, and let reading statuses auto-update your lists. Import from Goodreads to keep all your lists in one place, capture quotes from pages, save bookmarks, and track your progress with focus sessions and time/page counts.

Designed to minimize admin, Shelfy helps you stay consistent, remember key ideas, and actually enjoy reading. Premium features are available with Shelfy Pro.

User Reviews

Many reviews praise Shelfy’s cute, customizable shelves and the idea of a book-tracking UI, but the experience is dominated by a pervasive paywall and upfront subscription requirements. Users report being unable to access core features without paying, sometimes being charged, and encountering issues with search, adding books, and discovery. Customer support is often criticized for slow responses. While a few praise the UI and updates, the recurring sentiment is that the app overpromises at a price, making it feel like a paid trial rather than a free, usable tracker.
Pros
  • Cute, customizable virtual bookshelf UI.
  • Appealing concept for tracking books with potentially useful tools.
  • Positive notes on customer service and updates from some users.
Cons
  • Widespread paywall / no genuinely free option to try the app.
  • Forced subscription to access features or proceed, with upfront pricing.
  • Users often get charged or feel misled by ‘free’ claims before using the app.
  • Functional issues like broken search, problems adding books, and blank discovery pages.
  • Customer support frequently described as slow or unresponsive.

This app will let you go through a string of questions and before it will let you actually use it, you encounter a paywall. $9.99 a month, $79.99 a year “discounted” to $38.99, or a lifetime membership of $99.99 and an offer of a 3 free day trial. I hate apps like this. Just tell me in the download price it is $100 one time purchase or something. I don’t know why I was led to believe this was a free app. I will not be doing a 3 day trail just to have to come back in a few days(which you hope I will forget) or get charged. I am so tired of every app needing a subscription. Ridiculous. Normal people can’t afford to pay for 20-100 subscriptions. That’s why people look at people who say they have Netflix or another service with bafflement and disgust. Everyone I know has gotten rid of all their subscription services because it has gotten out of hand.

Asks for a review before you even get into the app, and then makes you either pay or get the free trial to use the app at all. If you don’t do either of those things, then you just set up your info in the app for nothing
