Frequently Asked Questions

The Bookshelf - Your Virtual Library is an app for book organization and tracking one's reading progress. It offers a variety of other possibilities such as:

• discovering your next reads
• rating, reviewing, sharing book recommendations
• creating your own social profile
• following booklovers from all over the world

The Bookshelf app is not intended for reading books, but for managing and organizing them.

Only a mobile version of the Bookshelf app is available at the moment.

The app is available for both Android and iOS users. It's also possible to use the same account on different devices without worrying about losing the data because all of the data is safely stored on our servers. Just make sure to pull down to refresh the app whenever you're changing from one device to another.

You can add up to 100 books on the free plan. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited books.

• enter and confirm your new password

To delete your account, please navigate to the Settings menu > Account Settings > Delete account.

To cancel your subscription, please navigate to the Settings menu > Account Settings > Subscription Settings and find the Manage subscription button. That button should take you directly to your app store where you can cancel your subscription.

All of your data is safely stored on our servers, so there's no need for a data backup. However, it's possible to export all of your data anytime. To do that, please navigate to the Hamburger menu > Import & Export and specify the data you want to export.

It's possible to add multiple books at once by using our "Batch scan" feature, which allows you to enter new books by scanning with no interruptions. Find it by clicking the "+" icon in the middle of the bar at the bottom of the screen among many other options and start scanning!

There's an option to select multiple books from your bookshelf by clicking the three dots in the upper right-hand corner and choosing "Select". After you've selected the books, click the three dots again and choose "Remove" to delete them.

Unfortunately, direct collaboration of multiple users is not supported in our app yet. It's possible to log into the same account from different devices, though. All of the data is safely stored on our servers, so you don't have to worry about losing it when switching devices. Only make sure to pull down to refresh on both devices to update the latest data.

"Percentage read" becomes the default option whenever we can't retrieve the information about the number of pages. However, you can add the number of pages manually by Editing the Info and the "Pages read" should reappear automatically. You can disable this option by opening a book, clicking the three dots in the upper right corner, opening Settings and turning the switch on/off.

Unfortunately, once the data is removed by the user, it's removed from our database as well, so the data can't be restored. Keep in mind that deleting a shelf automatically deletes all the books that were contained in it.

You can add a book to Wishlist either by:

• long pressing the book you've found in the Explore page or
• opening the book you've found > clicking the three dots in the upper right-hand corner > Add to wishlist.

This can also be applied to books that have already been shelved.
