BookShout: eBook & Reading App Reviews

App crashes constantly

Miss Mason 05

Have one book in my account and every time I go to read it, it crashes before I can even see the first page. What a worthless app

I like this app

Discovered by accident. Free books that are good. A reader that works trouble free. Even the books that aren’t free are very inexpensive.

Short story

BabsL88

This short story taught us to believe and our faith will take us where we need to be,

I downloaded this in order to take advantage of a offer through which I could get a free book. I found that whatever books I download are essentially locked within the app, so that I can't save a copy of the book to put on my other e-book reader. There's no way I would spend money to buy a book on BookShout, if I can't save a copy. I also don't much care for all the statistics and time-tracking either (for one thing, they're distracting), but there is no option that I can find to shut them off. I just want to read for enjoyment and relaxation and I don't want to make a contest out of it. (edit) I guess what really bothers me is the vague feeling that my reading is in some way being monitored. To make a long story short, I'll look elsewhere for e-books, not BookShout.

I read the book after seeing the movie. It was great. I want to see the movie again.

Buggiest ebook reader

This app is incredibly and frustratingly buggy. Examples: - Books often open to a random location, sometimes the beginning of the chapter you were on, rarely where you left off - When clicking on a footnote, it often leaps to a random footnote from chapter 1 rather than the footnote you wanted - There is bizarre highlighting behavior that seems to happen almost anytime you want to turn the page and turns the screen into an unreadable jumbled mess. Will not be buying a second book on this app.

Amazing app

Really love the fact that this app pushes me to read every day. Definitely, recommend to anyone who wants to push themselves to read and beat out your friend's score. Also, love the fact they girl you money for actually reading. Which you could use to buy books with.

Bait and switch.

I received a “free” e-book offer from the WSJ. I had to download the app, only to find that “free” is $14.99! Can’t trust this app.

WOW, sign in with WSJ
