Update sucks

Jazzy_19760000 on

Canada

The books I am reading are hard to see and the top picks are in my way. It would be nice to be able to set it how I like it and use it.

Tyrannical

Hhhhfffjjdbvc on

Canada

This app is pathetic honestly. You can’t even use search filters to search for books. By language, price, etc.

Horrible

Missie56 on

Canada

This app constantly keeps crashing even when I delete it and do a reinstall . This is a constant issue that never seems to get resolved. Why is this app crashing all the time ? As soon as you open it then is crashes . It’s unusable. Very frustrating to say the least. You need to do something about this .

Stop showing the stupid bar on the bottom

Every time I scroll the home bar shows up distractingly. We all know how to swipe on an iPhone, get rid of it please

Love it

omg im so asum on

Canada

I like how you can read, demon slayer, my hero academia, and last Naruto! I like how you can just go on this app if you are missing some of the books in your series of books! And it can help you find a series you want to read next! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Always crashes on my iPhone 15

FeyintolaSPO on

Canada

Ever since I got the iPhone 15, I found it very difficult to use this app at random times. It stops working, and if you try to open it, it keeps crashing

Not right

Royanmagic on

Canada

I have been using this app for awhile. Love that I can get audio books on here. What I just found out is that any book I reread & I am a reader, is not recorded as a read. That is not right. Some people don’t reread but I do, it should be marked that a book has been read/listened too no matter the amount of time that is has been read/listened too. Please fix this error!

Highlights

pokono on

Canada

Overall a great reading experience. I’m thinking of switching to amazon kindle for their APIs and the ability to export highlights automatically. I value open data and interoperability. Nowadays all Apple software is closed and a bit useless for users that value their ability to actually use their data/history/notes etc.

Downgrade

DHV71 on

Canada

The new visual formal is terrible. I understand the concept of a store, but there is no space to be alone with your audiobook anymore. If your audiobook is in a series you have no choice but to view it as part of a series. You are unable to place to place the icon outside of that series or choose to view it independently of the others. Book icons on the read now page don’t even look like books and directly under them is a blatant ad for other books. The app used to be the best, but it’s garbage now. I feel like I wasted my money purchasing audiobooks I can only use here. I will be looking for a new app.
