Let me export my ebooks!

I don’t need 5 different apps to read a book on. Let me export my ebooks and read them on whatever app I want. There are settings to import ebooks into the glose app but not export?!

Am Going to Delete Glose

I have several apps which are used to read books I have selected. None of the are as exasperating to use as Glose. I constantly experience: the annoying reminders to read; 3 clicks to get into my book instead of opening directly; never opens to the page where I stopped reading; sometimes opens to a blank page and won’t bring up the next page. I have to delete it and start the app again; when i finally get to the page, there’s a green progress bar of sone sort that has to be removed; sometimes skips pages, as many as 100 plus. I have more complaints but am tired of listing them. As soon as I finish the book I’m reading, this poorly written app gets deleted. It’s not worth using.

QA is sadly underperforming

This app suffers from ineffective Developers and QA Engineers. It is far too defect laden to have proper staff coding and testing. I will have to pay a higher price at amazon in the future, because the incessant crashing, freezing , losing places and notes, is far more trouble than saving a few dollars at checkout to purchase from a site that requires Glose for ebooks is worth.

What a joke of an app

I can’t even download the book I have on this app it brings up same error message I’m really disappointed I really want to listen to this book. I have emailed twice about my issue and so has my friend no response very frustrating.

Obnoxious, loses my place, lacks search in app version

I read a lot and one favorite publisher requires Glose to read books purchased directly from them. I am rating iPad version. This is a poor version of Nook or Kindle: 1. It loses my place if I use another app or turn tablet off. 2. It skips chapters. I may finish chapter 1 and the swipe to a new page suddenly is chapter 5. This happens more with books I reread. 3. It hides pages, very difficult to get to a given place, similar to problem #2, I can get to the beginning of a chapter but it won’t open the pages in that chapter. 4. The iPad version lacks a book search to find a given title. I can sort by title or author but I cannot search for a title. Have to scroll through the 500+ titles to get to the one I want. Per the Glose help desk, there is a search button, but I find it only on the full web version, not the app. 5. If I add a book to a shelf, e.g., a shelf for my favorites, I cannot get it off that shelf. I mistakenly put a couple titles under the wrong author and could add to the correct author but not remove from wrong one. Disappointing and gets frustrating. Errors happen more often now than a year ago but I do not see any updates available. I like to buy directly from publishers when they have sales but I’m beginning to wonder whether saving a few bucks is worth the hassle.

Fair

What hurts the most is the tiny printing. Severe eye strain.

What A Rip!

Sorry for the expressed over-the-top disappointment! This is not about the book Start with Prayer. It is the extremely poor reader Glose. I have been trying to open the book for nearly 1 hour. No success. I’ve turned to other reviewers. My experience is typical of other purchasers of buying a book and who have attempted to open the book in Glose. Glose is a failure of a Kindle Wannabe. So here I am, after more than 60 minutes, money has been sent to purchase the book and now NO OBVIOUS WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM tonight. PASTOR LUCADO, this is not typical of your ministry. Please figure out how to correct this widespread problem.

Looks promising but login has issues

Just downloaded this app after joining via website and reading first book there. Now can’t log-in on app using Sign-in with Apple credentials created in Safari. STUCK at Glose Terms & Conditions page without a CANCEL option to re-initiate login. Dismissed app, hoping T&C screen would close. Nope. Deleted app and re-installed, hoping T&C screen would be gone. Nope. Can’t proceed without making a NEW account. Not going to use the app. Will try just accessing books via the browser. Bummer.

eMail

I really do not like getting email every day about how much I have read. Very annoying. If I cannot get it to stop, I will delete this e-reader.

Hard to use

I’m not impressed
