Ratings and reviews

Good reading experience and UI, and the recommendations are spot on. However, you can't open the app without Internet access (so I can't read while camping). Also, you can't open the app without updating it and sometimes the updates will delete all of your downloaded books and reset all of your reading progress. So make sure you write down what chapter you're on whenever you're done reading because Kobo might forget.

I love this app but it is really frustrating when I start reading a book & set my phone down or exit the app & my book disappears! It's always the current book I'm reading, just gone. I have to go to the Kobo website & finish reading the book there. It has been doing it my frequently lately. I'll clear my cache & even my data, the book still won't reappear. I've even uninstalled the app w/ the same results. Also, sometimes the app won't save the last page I was on. Otherwise, best app for books.

downloaded this app to read some books I haven't read for quite some time - was working great for a while. I had bought the whole book series in hopes to read it, but when it came to the third book, the app would not download it. I tried reinstalling, restarting my phone, signing out and signing back in, repairing the account, and removing the book and putting it back in my inventory thing. nothing worked, and I'm considering uninstalling and looking elsewhere for this series.
