Kobo Books

Kobo saves me in two ways: firstly - by not clogging my shelves with too many books, and, secondly, by being available on all my devices - I travel much lighter. It also gives me instant access to the literature that would otherwise take some time to reach me in hard version.

This app really is worth your time with all the awesome books and other features.

Does what it needs to. I'm happy to have the app for when my e-reader isnt nearby. Simple and easy to read from.

App is a joke. This is why people are driven back to Audible. Kobo is incompetent. Fire the iOS dev team. Drunk monkeys could write a better app. Great monthly price, $10CAD. But say you hear about a book on a podcast & you want to quickly grab it & start listening? Nah bruh. You can’t actually BUY BOOKS VIA THE APP. One gets a pop up basically saying “u can wish list or favorite but not buy”. Soooo, if you don’t have your kobo e reader or laptop on u, too bad. Sure, one could fire up mobile browser but that’s not the point. Not being able to quickly & efficiently buy and start listening to an audiobook in seconds VIA THE APP, is absolute CLOWN WORLD. Uninstalling after this and installing the audible app. Amazon wins again I suppose.

After writing a review about the poor syncing of this app, nothing has changed. I foolishly bought another e-book for this platform because it was less expensive, but paying more to read on Kindle or iBooks is more than adequately compensated by their far superior syncing utility. This used to be such a great app for reading and the ebook prices were good, but now highlights and annotations are disappearing, and bookmarks don’t always sync between devices. What happened? Why is this app so wonky now?

So complicated, so not intuitive, SO frustrating! I hate it!! I keep trying because Libby is only linked to Kobo - if only I could actually figure it out!!!

No dark mode icon, the page turn effect is broken in dark mode… the whole Koko app experience feels cheap and it’s frustrating.

Update: Search not working again. Update: There was an update to the app that fixed the issues. Search is not working on app. When you hit the search bar there is a constant spinning with no results. Used to be a good app but basically useless now.

no way to access reader settings and turn on dark mode. instructions on help site are outdated, no gear icon and no reader settings from within a book. trash app
