Why can’t I buy books in the app??

My favorite book app

Asset Bilibayev on

I have been using the app for several years already. On iPad, iPad Pro, MacBook Pro. It is my favorite book app so far, and I have tried many of them. It is getting better and better with every new version. More and more features are being added with time, like statistic, personal recommendations etc. Still the basic functionality stays simple, familiar and handy. Recently, I started paying more attention to what books the app recommends me. Evidently the more books I read, the more finely the app can predict my choice. Thank you.

Some little bugs

Overall, nice app. However, there are just few concerns with my app downloaded to iPad: 1) sometimes it freezes when turning the page and then suddenly quits 2) having an actually dictionary translating from different languages rather than just thesaurus would be great for reading the book in a foreign language

Cool

Great when it syncs with Libby but sometimes when it doesn’t I have to logout and reboot again. Annoying

Mostly Good

I really enjoy using the Kobo app. Reading books is mostly a smooth experience. Adjusting font size and background is easy and intuitive. Turning pages is mostly smooth and rarely lags. The Home Tab is easy to navigate and pretty well organized. Areas that I see need improvement are in the Tab where you see all of your e-books. I have over 1,000 in my library. If you are scrolling through and browsing your library, and you navigate away from the app for a moment, it restarts from the beginning of your list. It doesn’t save your place. If you only have a few books, it’s not a big deal, but with a larger library, a lot of functionality is lost because of this. I often navigate between Kobo and Goodreads and it becomes annoying really fast. Also, my wishlist is never properly updated. I can access only a small fraction of the titles I have in my wishlist. The pricing is not available on the app. The list is not sortable either. It’s only in order of date added. I would love to be able to sort by author or title, and be able to see the pricing and then sort by price. I would love if this functionality was available on the kobo.com website. Despite all of this, it’s still one of my most used apps.
