## Sora Reviews in United States

### ***** "Noice"
It’s really good, instead of paying like $20 for like a single book you can borrow it for free if you’re in a school that has sora.
-- Bolsaksukamabolslihgma, 2025-06-23

### ***-- "Great, but don’t like the hold time"
I read on Sora 24/7 and so far, have loved it. The is one thing I don’t like about Sora is the holds. Holds for popular books can get up to a week for two. It takes a while to get the actual book you want if it’s a popular book. Take the Percy Jackson series for example, the book is very popular on Sora so it takes a while to get the book. I also don’t like how there are a limit to the number of holds you can have at once, it gets annoying when you are about to get another book after finishing one, but you are waiting for all of the popular books to be available. I also don’t like how there is also the amount of books you can have borrowed, it is basically the same as the holds. So overall, I do recommend Sora if you like reading, but there are a couple of minor inconveniences. Hope this helped you!
-- Random person reviewing things, 2025-05-01

### *---- "1 out of 10"
I started using sora a couple months ago and I immediately hated
the app. I put a book on hold and it said the book would be available in two weeks, so I go back to sora in two weeks and it still said two weeks! Nothing is ever open or available and i’m over it.
-- shmelterling, 2025-04-25

### **--- "Wouldn’t recommend this"
First of all I wish you didn’t need to be in a school to get this or be a student because some schools don’t have sora. Secondly when I tried to login to this library I go to that use’s sora it was in POSSIBLE to login to! It was just a hustle and a waste of my time! For the people who can login it might be a good app so I rate this a 2 star!
-- MADDIE_DA_DOG!!!, 2025-04-24

### ***** "Amazing app 100% recommended"
Amazing app strongly recommend I love the amount of book options and audio books one thing though why do we have to renew online books 😂
I think it’s funny it would also be nice to have more copies of the books instead of 1 or 2 
But great app loving using it
It also tracks how long I read for and gives me awards after
-- Person.com, 2025-04-21

### ***** "Best audio book and ebook app ever!"
My daughter is hooked on listening  to on Sora!
-- Fannipanti, 2025-02-08

### *---- "I’m very disappointed"
I can no longer access two libraries only one fix this immediately
-- Imsuperemo ❤️🖤, 2025-02-06

### ***** "Holds"
Amazing app 100% recommend as someone who falls asleep listening to audiobooks. It’s nice because there’s a sleep timer and you do not need Internet for downloaded books. The holds are annoying though, and you will have to wait a while on popular books like Percy Jackson.
-- Reader13!, 2025-02-05

### *---- "ITS TERRIBLE"
When you home school your kids it won't let you get on the app because you have to be in a school to read the books on the app
-- Nickelback12, 2025-01-17

### ***-- "Good, but a MAJOR problem"
I love Sora as a person who sleeps listening to audiobooks. I love the endless collections of audiobooks and ebooks to choose from. The one problem is whenever I tap on the app it stays on the icon and stays like that. My iPad is up to date, so is the app. I don't know what the problem is but it REALLY pisses me off so please please please fix this before I lose my friggin patience. Thank you for reading :D
-- niftypink, 2025-01-02

### ****- "Bruh"
So I got the app it’s pretty good I love reading comics so on December 5 I place a hold for the adventures of super diaper baby and ten days later it still on hold I waited so long to get it I was like “yes I’m probably going to get to read the book” I was so excited and pow still on hold😡😡
-- Fnaf rules so does toca boca, 2024-12-15

### ***-- "It’s ok"
Its okay I have a book on hold and it’s been 6month for about 12 months and nobody has given it back yet 

Come on midnight children🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♂️
-- Kali thatcher, 2024-12-04

### ***** "OMG AMAZING"
The most easiest app ever! Perfect for kids! Recommendation : You should put kids music I would love it! So much more!
-- GALLOP234, 2024-12-04

### ****- "Great App..But"
Its an AMAZING app but in my opinion it takes sooooooo long to load so pls fix this if u can. Cuz when i get dont u think i want to read when i download? Think about that. 🫥 but again it is an AMAZING app. Its also really helpful at school and at at home. 😁😁   Im also obsessed with this app!
-- PizzaHead3D, 2024-11-28

### ****- "I love sora ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️♥️"
I can read my favorite books like big nate, dogMan, captain underpants, ect.😊😊☺️☺️
-- ExoticVR, 2024-11-28

### ****- "actually good"
first used this about 3 and still love it. wish you could add other libraries onto your school one and have more loans/holds. other than that i love sora.
-- Cupcake23139, 2024-11-25

### ***** "Sora"
Sora is THE BEST APP EVER
-- antoo great for the, 2024-11-20

### ****- "Love it but not waiting"
I am a student who loves the endless catalog of books on Sora but most of my favorite series have a long wait time. So I think what would make Sora better is that three copies of a book are the same price as one for the popular series so that all the books have a more even wait time instead of diary of a wimpy kid having a 2 month wait when a less popular book has only a 2 week wait.
-- Madolovy, 2024-11-20

### ***** "The best"
Has all books and you do not have to get up to go to the library
-- LMELhww, 2024-10-18

### ****- "Sora"
I love Sora!!! It’s compatible and awesome. Especially with my NYT card. I like it. I wish that I could add more books though
-- OTFLiz, 2024-09-27
