I started using Glose when I redeemed a free book offer. It bills itself as a "social reading" app, but I haven't found any desire to use it for more than just regular reading... Perhaps that makes me anti-social. I like that it has a night mode that inverts the colors to provide white text against a black background, as this is easier on my eyes. I wish it had an option to set the text and background colors directly though, or that it offered more built-in color combinations (yellow on black, for example) As others have reported, there are navigation issues and unexpected/unwanted highlighting of text. At this time I really don't see that this app offers anything to compete with other apps like Kindle or Nook... But I haven't written it off yet.

This app will not let me sign up. Buttons won't work and just keeps redirecting me to the homepage and then starts all over again asking me to sign up. Super frustrating!

I got this app only to read a free ebook. I would not use it for anything else. It takes forever to load every page, and it keeps losing my place. I am going to try and find another way to read the book.

Updates keep rolling in, but this app still isn't worth using, even for free books! Every time I get to the end of the chapter, it won't let me flip to the next page. I have to use the index (or whatever that button is called at the top of the screen). Closing and reopening used to work, but it doesn't anymore.

This app wont let me move from one chapter to the next. Super frustrating

I realize you get what you pay for and this is a free app on which I am trying, and failing, to read a free book (it's from Simon & Schuster so it should work) but still... I haven't got past the first page because the app random goes forward and then freezes on a white screen. So annoying. No easy way, that I can see to alter font and that sort of thing either. I'll give it another try, because I want to read the book, but I'm not holding my breath.

It's super annoying! I downloaded a book for free, but after almost every chapter I get a few pages in and then it just jumps to the next chapter. I always end up super confused! The ability to turn a page sucks to, doesn't always let you actually get to the next page. Lots of glitches that need to be addressed. Especially the jumping pages thing....
Awful I downloaded the app to read some free books from a publishing company. It's mind numbingly bad. It shuts down multiple times in a chapter, at least every 2 minutes. It continually tries to have me highlight and annotate and I can't find how to shut that off. And finally, I managed to open the font size and color scheme menu once by accident but can't figure it out again. Glose is certainly not intuitive and they are trying too hard on too many things. Focus on books or community. Definitely not both.
Didn't get my first free book Ordered a hotel stay it gave me a offer to redeem a book free with choices of about six books I hit redeem then open a account like it instructed me to do to be able to read it which is this app and then at end said sorry offer expires in seconds bull crap! I want my free book ty
I downloaded the app to get a free book & the app didn't wrk. It's a waste of time, or I uninstalled it.
Won't open the book I also downloaded this ap to receive a book from a publisher. But Glose will not open it, continues to be a blank page.
Needs improvement It seems that if you tap on any text when trying to turn the page it highlights it. When you try to un highlight it you end up highlighting more or not being able to. Overall it's an ebook reader like any other. Except the problematic highlighter...

Hello Paula, if you want to use Glose on your PC you can use our website at https://glose.com and connect with your Glose account. Thanks! Seemed to work at first, but now .... Now every time I get to end of chapter I am unable to turn the page just keeps going backwards. Also it doesnt seem to save where I leave off, have to remember what chapter I am on each time. Its a shame because I really want to finish this book but will have to buy on another service. I will keep my Nook
Glose October 27, 2016
Do you still have this issue with our latest update? Oh wow If I touched the page anywhere, it crashed. I never saw anything other than the initial screen. (Samsung Galaxy Tab 4)
don't know why it exists i want to read my book. after opened it, i only saw a crashed page.
Keeps force closing! This app force closes when I try to navigate it.
This app is awful. I loaded it on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Tablet. It worked fine for a couple of days then I started getting an error message that said Glose has stopped working. I rebooted and reinstalled. No luck so I decided to load it on my Motorola droid. Same thing. I'll stick with my Kindle thank you.
Buggy, unfinished feel This app has several problems in my opinion. It only let's me swipe the pages, but in one chapter it forced me to up but didn't divide the pages up. Every time I took my finger off it would snap back to start of chapter. Also sometimes when swipeing to next page it skips huge amounts of book, many chapters. Sometimes forward sometimes toward becoming 1 time all the way past the beginning. Wont allow you to hold your phone in any direction but up and down. And highlights way too sensitive as well, others too
Login Error, Please Assist Just downloaded, and no problems with viewing; however, when I tried to login an ERROR kept appearing: "java.io.IOException: No authentication challenges found." I selected "OK" but, was looped back to the same spot to login with the same error message. Thanks for your assistance. I'm looking forward to this APP working out and reading your many books!
Full of Bug & Glitches, Limited, No TTS All readers work on my tablets, but this one has a tendency to crash if you touch it wrong. Two limited size adjustment fonts, no TTS capability, app design is lacking, could not display book cover. Searched for free books... list of 10. Uninstalled.
I've used many readers on smartphones. This is the worst one by far: 1. No search function (want to get to a keyword or a passage your remember, no dice. 2. Does not keep track of pages often. If you turn off app you may have to turn several pages to get to where you were. 3. If you touch the page, if may interpret the page touch as you wanting to quote it. It then stays highlighted until you turn to the next page. 4. Turning a page often takes dozens of touches, sometimes it jumps many chapters ahead. 5. When you open the app, you then have to select a book, then actually click, read this book. So two extra touches to get to a page near where you left off. Too much touching. Edit: After finishing the one book, I removed the app, it also did things like quitting into the "library" from time to time. The book was free, but next time, they will have to pay me money AND give me the book. Bottom line: WORST APP OF ALL TIME.
Is this for social media whoring or for reading? Get rid of tap-to-highlight, and let us highlight more than one sentence, and this app might actually be useful! As it is, it just gets in the way of reading.
Short on featues I downloaded the app due to a free book offer and probably won't be keeping it. It only seems to offer "normal" mode and nighttime mode, with no further customization (i.e. a sepia mode) and no clear way to adjust line spacing or margins. I'll probably keep with the Kindle or nook apps for my free books.
Can't find free book This is the third time I selected a book and I have only been able to download one. I can't find the others

Hello,
We fixed an issue that could prevent our app to be installed. You may now try again, it should works.
Thanks! Great App! Wish it had a dark setting for reading, but otherwise it's fantastic!
Glose February 26, 2016
Hello Linda, in the top bar of our reader you can actually switch to a dark mode for our reader. Hope it helps :) Poor App App doesn't return to the page you left off at. You have to go forward 2 or 3 pages to get back to where you were. Also, there is no way to mark your place with a book mark. They gave me 2 free books. After those, I'm deleting.
initial startup gets stuck (may be related to me having native IPv6). also, at first glance it looks like its it's not ebook reader. it's book store client. in ebook readers (Moon+, Mantano, FBReader, even Bookmate(which is hybrid one) you can actually open books you arleady own. It looks like you can upload in Glose if you share EPUB file from some other app but no ability to do so inside this app and no metion of this ability. App shows that book is being read by others even if it was just uploaded by me and it's...unlikely that something with this name and author would arleady be on your service. support for page turning buttons on connected bt keyboard is unreliable. books sometimes just not being opened
Won't remember where I left off It doesn't return to where I left off when I back out to read a different book or when I try to read from another device. Giving two stars in case it's there, but I can't find it.
App didn't work Won't open at all. Keeps telling me I need to be on the internet. (I'm on the internet)
Unable to login Received a free book. Tried to open in app using my facebook account, but only receiving that I have already authorized and then returned to login screen
Can't sign in Downloaded the free book and app. Tried to login and it said my password was wrong. Cant find a way to reset password. Tried to create a new account, and it said my email was already taken. Deleting app.
