Comments on Shelf for Android

★★★★★ Ryan · May 29, 2026

If you're a OnePlus user, this app is worth disabling altogether. Just don't bother. It's totally redundant.

★★★★★ sonammaahi sonammaahi · May 19, 2026

Useless, frustrated, waste of time, efforts, energy can't update. If update is not for specific phones then why it did show? Now it's working good job

★★★★★ bob paige · May 25, 2026

Annoying overlapping useless duplicate of apps main page.

★★★★★ Ahmed Malik · Jun 5, 2026

user-friendly shelf which we can customize a/c to our daily usage

★☆☆☆☆ MD: IM Hossain · Jun 22, 2026

I'm not install these apps. How is in my phone. Also 3rd party apps

★★☆☆☆ Justin Marble · Jun 2, 2026

Good idea but poorly executed (at least for users in the (U.S.). Shelf primarily consists of adding widgets and/or shortcuts for only OnePlus apps. Spotify has a widget, but otherwise none of my home screen widgets can be added in Shelf which seems like an off decision. At the moment, this app adds no value or purpose to my OnePlus phone.

★★☆☆☆ Marc Angelo Barrios · Jun 23, 2026

I thought it would be nice to put my widgets here, but it seems to not be able to load them at all. It's a shame.

★☆☆☆☆ TANISHQ TAYDE · Jul 2, 2026

Why this is no working in my new phone I have purchased the oppo k 14 but there is no shelf option available where I searched for in on play store it says not compatible with this device why it is not compatible even my device is not old either
