Issue with Line-Straightening Feature in Books App
I’ve noticed that a feature I used to rely on in the Books app is no longer working. When using the Apple Pencil to draw lines or shapes in the app, it used to automatically straighten the lines, similar to how the “Shape Recognition” feature works in other Apple apps like Notes. However, after a recent update, this functionality seems to be missing, and the lines no longer straighten when I hold the Pencil at the end of a stroke.
This was a very useful feature for annotating PDFs and other documents, and I would really appreciate it if this could be looked into or reintroduced in future updates.
Thank you!

Everything was fine, I liked the application, but the books began to be deleted and only a few days later they appeared again, and even now when they appeared, I have to reboot them to read, there was no such thing before, and before I could read books without the Internet and now I don’t, why spoil the application like that?? Please correct it

Bugs need to be fixed
It is a great app, but whenever I try to look for a word or a phrase, it automatically throws me out. Fix this bug as soon as possible
Please fix the bookmark issue!!
Since updating my phone, the new double-tap bookmark method is driving me NUTS. The way it will randomly bookmark with the slightest touch is SO annoying. Please fix or go back to the way it was!!!
Destroyed
Thoughtless design, overall degradation.
Terribly slow, glitchy, buggy.
A previously good app ruined by iOS 16.
Poor function since update
Used to read books on here all the time, but now that scrolling is not working (closes app and cannot switch books) I find little use for it. It’s locking up and you can’t switch books either.
HATE the redesign of this app
This is not an improvement. The new design is awkward and annoying. The bookmark feature does not always work. You have to continuously close out the app and reopen it so that you may actually mark that page by touching the bookmark icon. Also, before, I only had to reach up with my finger to mark it. Now I have to open the new thing, (which is placed annoyingly down at the bottom right where I have to try to reach it with my thumb without dropping my phone, as most people are right handed, this is likely not just my problem) and then hope the bookmark works. I dislike all of the changes. I should not have to open something to see how far I’ve read in the book. I miss the line that ran down the side in the right margin area. NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS.
update ruined the app
I am also one of many users who is displeased with the updates to the apple books app. The new page turn animation is clunky, ugly, and headache inducing, and an insult to the old one that captured the wonder of reading. I find this new card shuffle animation extremely grating and it has pushed me to picking new apps to use to read. Aside from that the tiny menu button is virtually useless in its unreadability. Apple books was previously one of my most used apps and it’s now unfortunately ruined.
