Ratings and reviews

Great selection of books and decent reading experience. Very nice level of customizing fonts and colors while reading. I'd like a dark mode so I don't light up the room at night when looking at my library. A general performance boost would be nice as the app feels sluggish to launch and not super smooth when in use. Selection of optimized comics isn't great.

This app is garbage. I've installed it three times to listen to a single trilogy on audiobook that cost WAY to much in the first place. Won't EVER install it again! (Specifics requested from B&N developers even though this is a canned auto response for every one star review) Posted specifics, but they responded with a trivial one way debug effort. Swiping down to refresh the library and signing oudoesn't work. I'm an engineer for a tech firm. Not some old man who doesn't understand technology...

This app no longer works after upgrading to Android 13. I couldn't open any of my books, it just had a swirling circle and said "syncing library", but it never did anything. I've uninstalled and then reinstalled the app, and now it won't even sign in. Just says "working" but crashes before even getting to the login screen
