Ratings and reviews

As a Kobo VIP member, the app falls extremely short with regard to finding your free annual book. I have always had to add the item to my cart and see if it is eligible from there. Kobo has added push notifications for when books go on sale from your wishlist, which is a very nice feature. The point system for purchases is very enjoyable too. Lastly, adding multiple items from your wishlist to your cart is only available on the web which is very disappointing and inconvenient.

Love the book selections, ease of adjustability of the reading format. Disappointed in the latest update though. The current books being read list has changed to just a "Recent" space, so when you finish a book, it doesn't close itself from there or even offer the option to remove it from that list so now anything you've looked at "recently" is in the way of finding what you're looking for. Even going to the "My Books" tab and using the "downloaded" filter doesn't update immediately.

The latest update no longer shows author names of books previously imported (they did before). marking a book as "finished" brings you to the review page automatically, and there's no option to turn this off. I would like this option and a way to view the author's names as they had displayed before, thanks! I would also love to see a default wishlist view save feature (ie if I want low-high price sorting, I want it kept that way!)

What’s new

We’ve rebuilt the app from the ground up to make reading and listening more seamless, beautiful, and intuitive than ever.
