Shelfie - Book Tracker Reviews

I really like how easy Shelfie makes getting research notes out of books. Scanning bar codes and OCR has been pretty smooth, even with relatively obscure reference books. Got the yearly membership for that reason. Would very much like to see the ability to do an author search (as someone else mentioned) and search for multiple tags at once—right now I can’t search for notes that are tagged both “trust” and “promise,” for example, which means a lot of scrolling. Would love to see this continue to be developed- might even recommend it to students once it has enough going for it!

Edit: Author search works well now! Still want the ability to search my notes from Shelfie , though I can export them for search elsewhere, so it shouldn’t be a dealbreaker. Very nice functionality! Very glad I have this!

Worthy app if it does what it claims, unfortunately I can’t figure that out. After reading some articles online I went out and got Shelfie because I thought you could get ebooks here. So far all I’ve been able to do is scan barcodes so I can take notes on the physical books I do have. While that’s useful I can do a modified version of the same thing virtually anywhere I make notes. What interests me is finding digital copies of books I own. So far no tutorials on Shelfie and the website listed below is in Chinese. So, looks like I may have to keep searching for a comparable app. Disappointed.

I wanted an app that I could quickly scan my existing books before moving house; Granted, the scanning of barcodes is easy, but some of the major publishing houses aren’t included (eg penguin), even when manually add in by ISBN number. Very disappointed with the organization too - doesn’t even have a simple “sort by author”... who wants to go to a bookstore and search through titles to confirm if already in their collection? Logic and ease would dictate author search being much more convenient than by title.. can have 200 in your library with “The” as the first word.... but only a few with the author name!!!
Good idea, poorly executed.

I tried so many different book apps before this app, and so far this is the best one. I wanted something simple and elegant, a place where I can record my notes and thoughts without distraction. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you, developers.

ever!!!!

Love Shelfie and how it operates! I wish I could connect with friends tho. Everything operates through popular Chinese apps/ social media. I’d love it if you could connect with Goodreads and Facebook! Also, if you could make it so that we can rate the books as we read them that’d be great!

I have scanned the barcode of one of my books and let it sit for over an hour and nothing has happened.

Doesn't work. Cant find your server and your links dont work.

This is amazing!

用了两年，很喜欢这款应用：功能直观、实用：没有社交，专注看书。

几个小建议：
（1）同一篇笔记中的荧光笔可否允许不同颜色，方便划分不同内容？
（2）斜体功能似乎无法在中文子上实现。（3）在单一书籍的笔记总览界面上，不会显示各条摘录的笔记（无论是荧光笔、粗体还是其他），必须要点进去才看得到。有没有办法可以直观地在总览界面直观显示笔记？
（4）关联笔记时，如果可以显示最近关联就好了。

期待更新，祝越来越好。
