Book Notes FAQ
Is Book Notes free?
Yes, Book Notes is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Book Notes legit?
⚠️ The Book Notes app has poor ratings and negative feedback. Users seem unsatisfied with its performance or features.
It has the standard Literary novels that most students need to read sometime throughout their education. It is basic but has good content when describing the chapters and summaries. It would be nice if the reader at the bottom would also be an audio feature, not just visual. So while the words are being scanned at the bottom a voice would be projecting out what is being read.
AWFUL UPDATE
This update is not organized at all and is a completely useless app now. It is now just summaries for a small amount of books, when before it gave ample amount of books, a search bar and detailed explanations of themes, characters, chapters etc. Please change!!!!! Deleting this app until change is made.
Not much of a variety, limited resources
Very few books, no easy search function, not many books.
However the information that is there appears to be good.
Update!
Bring back the actual spark notes! Since the updates, there isn't a wide selection of texts/novels. I paid money for this app! :(
Useless
That app has no use anymore with the update! Please fix
New update is awful
For whatever reason, the update for this app caused it to become far worse. There is now a marked decrease in book summaries, absolutely no Faulkner at all and no notes on Lord of the Flies, for example. There is no search feature and the presentation before the update was much better.
Eh it's alright
I bought this app not knowing you could find this online for free. But how the heck are you gonna make people pay for this when there's still ads??
Trash
Used to be good, stole our 99 cents and totally trashed the app
what have they done
there's no search bar and a minimal number of books given to review rather than the tons they used to have, this app is completely useless to me now, deleting it.
What Happened
This WAS an amazing app with great design choices and lots of usefullness... But now.... its as if someone took one of those rip off web based apps with just links and replaced all of the coding in the app... please bring back the menus and search!
