The app used to be functional, but now, the app randomly closes out when you open a book or adjust font settings. My books don't sync between my devices anymore. Certain audiobooks just stop producing sound in the middle of chapters. If the app isn't closing itself out, I'm having to constantly restart it to get it to work. I had hoped this would be an alternative to Kindle, but it was short-lived. I've purchased my last audiobook with this app and won't be using it in the future.

It's ok for the reading, but the dictionary is very light, lacks a lot, and is impossible to sort books by order in a serie, which is very inconvenient. It's also impossible to download the books' files from the app (only available on computer) or have a screen reader read the book out-loud for you. Not sight impared friendly... Last but not least, the latest update is incredibly buggy. They should use a solid beta tester program if they are incapable of proper development.

App cannot be spanned on MS surface duo. Pages used to be blank but there was a work around. Now the app refuses to use columns, so you can't read the text as it's blocked by the gap in the screen. Checking the switch for columns in landscape mode does nothing. Somehow they made an already broken app worse. I'm honestly in awe of how bad this is. They also removed the page curl transition which while not a big deal was a nice feature. KOBO is the worst reading app. Shop elsewhere.
