Could be great but...

Aaronvindi

This app has the potential of being great but it’s DECENT AT BEST. Maybe a tier below DECENT. My complaints are primarily: 1. Ridiculously slow 2.No BACK button or arrow that takes you back through all the authors and books you’ve searched for. For example say you look up an author who has written many books with multiple additions, than you find the best edition, you click it, choose the format such as hardcover, decide to read a review before buying. BUT THAN AS YOUR GOING TO CLICK PURCHASE YOU ACCIDENTALLY CLICK ON AN ADD OR B&N COUPON. Your now forced to do the search and 3FILTER3 all over again 3. The filter is only useful if you want to search for the new/old releases and High/lowest cost. I don’t like 4ebooks5 4. If you click book on the filter it doesn’t filter ebooks out. 5. A general search consist of way to many ebooks. It’s annoying having to change the format AND ESPECIALLY INFURIATING TO FIND A BOOK YOU REALLY WANT OR THAT ATTRACTS YOUR INTEREST TO FIND OUT IT IS only available in ebooks.

Function

Worst app ever. Even Ebay functions better than this. I tried ordering a book but it wouldn’t let me track the package. But luckily my app doesn’t crash. This only problems I have with the function is slow and sometimes wouldn’t load up. I have to re open the app in order to have it load.

The app is pretty slow

Barnes and noble as a store is a nice place to go with varied selections of books. The app however is lacking. The app tends to run slow on my phone which isn’t very old, and one thing I’m most annoyed with is the lack of an lgbt book section which the physical stores have. If the app can have an erotic fiction aisle, then why not general lgbt content?

Don’t bother downloading

Doesn’t allow for in app purchases. Don’t waste your time, data or memory space.

Worst App Ever

There comes a point when bad service can no longer be tolerated. I've held on since this is the last bookstore to offer variety. Recently I put books in my cart, go to browse and come back to my cart to find it empty. I have tried everything to resolve this issue. The only thing I can do is no longer purchase from this establishment since they obviously don't want to make the app usable.

A web browser posing as an application

If you attempt to use this app on iPhone right now, the menu doesn’t work, the page is filled with code. The app is unusable and I’m attempting to break away from Amazon, as their customer service is the worst. I hope this gets resolved soon. Coders, test your code. This should be an embarrassment.

The app is VERY slow.

Beyond Expectations

Chris J from LA

I don’t understand why there are a lot of problems with the app. But if there is, I haven’t stumbled upon any of them. I simply downloaded the app in order for me to check if a certain book is currently at a specific location or to check when a new book will be released. It’s no Amazon, so I don’t set high expectations to an already superior book store. Barnes&Noble is the best of the best. I hope this is of help to anyone looking for an honest, frank, and sincere opinion.

Slow, Needs Improvement!!!

I was using this app just to browse for books and stuff. Regardless if I’m using the Wi-Fi or cellular network, this app is running super duper slow like it’s doing nothing. This app is acting worthless and someone needs to step in and fix up all the issues with this app.

Speed Sells Books.

Susurrator

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. . . . Speed sells books in the information age. . . . I’ve emailed this before, so I’m going public in the hopes of saving & strengthening a powerful multi-tiered book- and information-selling platform. Skip to C. for app-specific suggestions. A. Consider shifting B&N’s business model to subsidize brick-and-mortar stores, from online/shipping sales. B. Consider, the store should also be viewed (financially) as an advertisement. C. Please hire a competent IT firm. Write down everyone’s complaints. Correct them. Fix these things specifically: App takes an inordinate time to open home page. Re-code to open home page swiftly, if at a reduced capacity. App logs out, regardless if the “Keep me logged in” box is checked. Recode not to rely on browser settings, but return *secure* app information. App utilizes spinning “thinking cursor.” Spinny thing of death on an app!? This is not the 90s. Recode, utilizing native platform “thinking” icons. -Typically a horizontal set of three well shaded pips (specifically an ellipsis, to signify more is coming soon) which successively appear then fade. Furthermore, recode to return information swiftly, thereby mitigating spinny-thing-of-death usage! Correct Boolean search capabilities: Adding an extra letter to an author’s unknown name returns a null value. Offering suggestions will not slow down a competently written program. Rewrite the program to return suggestions. —Please don’t Blockbuster this problem. Rather, Barnes & Noble this. We love you. Make this happen.
