***** AWESOME!!!
I wasn't reading books regularly but this app totally got me back into it!
***** VERY GOOD APPLICATION
Use it every day. Have bought paperback versions of classics for $5. This is a bargain!
***** VERY USEFULL
I like that I can e-mail book to my computer or download on my phone. I use it for classic and historical books.
** above quotes are recent 5 star reviews on the app store **
I had this app a couple years ago and I loved it, but none of my books will render. Bummer too!
Don't know what all the 1 star reviews are about. Works great for me and there is a fantastic selection of books to read.
Download the App “My Books”. It is is the more recent version of Books
Gr8 app when it works. Sorry the developer must be in some tough times to not be able to get it functioning like it used to. Won’t get past the buggy “rendering” loop.
I’ve updated this review over the years since 2016. It’s now 2020. The app doesn’t work and hasn’t been updated since 2016. That’s probably all you need to know but if u want more details read on. 2019: A couple of years ago I used this app all the time. Then about 1-2 years ago they did an update that required your books to “render” because they’d made SUCH IMPROVEMENTS to the reader. Only problem was the books never rendered no matter how long you waited. I deleted the app. Now it’s 2020. I downloaded the app again and lo and behold the problem is still not fixed!! Books just sit there ‘rendering’ and never open. This app could be great if it worked. Fix the issue or take it off the App Store - it’s ridiculous. Update late 2020 - 6 months later still not fixed and I can’t even find the app on the App Store anymore. Apple probably buried it so deep they are only using it on the other side of the earth in China. Hard to understand why the dev. Hasn’t fixed it. Hope he/she is ok.
