Always issues openIng the books
Even after a download keep receiving error messages , impossible to read anything ,
Some books are not playing properly. They are just blank.
There’s no option to bookmark . Too buggy as well. Whenever I click on 15 sec rewind it takes 2 hours back :/
Great epub reader, free app
Great epub reader, free app. Photos, chapters, drawings appear properly
Good app
Great app however the last update not good, it used to have low light but now the lowest is too bright.
Buggy currently and difficult to get access to my download
I have only used the app a handful of times. After taking a break and re downloading it my book won’t load to read. It’s been a task to get any trouble shooting with minimal customer service.
Impossible d’avoir des livres en français
Cadeau de Noel: une liseuse Kobo. Je suis très heureuse sauf qu’énorme déception, je vis à l’étranger et n’arrive pas à avoir accès aux livres français ! Cela ne sert donc à rien!!!
Feedback
Good overall experience...navigation could improve though.
Awesome book app!!!
This app is a God send. I love reading anything and every time. I have had this app for the past 3-4 years and I can tell you it’s legit!! With the option of free books and also really cheap books, it’s worth having it in your devices. Thank you Kobo!!
App is plagued with download errors
This app has been useful for listening to audiobooks however there exist a number of software issues. Repeated need to download books already completely downloaded and error messages preventing audio book play occur frequently. Reset of account, app deletion and support team assistance does not remedy these issues.
