The result of the last update? The program vanished from my phone. So, after changing all my books that I paid for, you now dumped my phone app as well. Thank you for saving me the effort to dump you. Don’t do business with thieves.

Very useful !

If you take the time to adjust to it , it took me 5 minutes, you will find some great features, I love being able to choose the font I like to read in as my eyes do a lot better with certain ones . Plus I love the ability to make the type any size :) as far as concerns about turning pages it is just a tap on the edge up down or right or left . If it throws you it is probably because you are used to apple or Amazon, where you swipe - all you need here is a tap

Garbage

syd1977

I had just purchased the ebook TBoz A Sick Life for $16.19. It told me to refresh the app, which didn’t help and saw it pending in my checking account and contacted the customer service representative by chat. She told me she only see one book and asked me if I had the receipt. The page was already gone and didn’t receive an email confirming the purchase yet. As soon as this transaction goes through, I will dispute it with my bank.

Very Confusing

I'm trying to search for audiobooks and it keeps pulling up ebooks. I also cannot sign in. Stick with a service that focuses on audiobooks. This app is a confusing mess.

Works awesome!

So I have to admit that I was a little scared off by the low rating (three-star rating is pretty harsh) but figured hell, it’s free - why not give it a shot. Well, it works awesome! Logged in quickly and easily, all of my Kobo books were there - good to go! The instructions on how to flip pages in it was a little overboard bc every other reader out there works exactly the same way, so...duh? But I’m also a Millennial who grew up with this stuff, so I’m not going to be thrown off by simple technology, whereas maybe someone else would be. *shrug* Anyway, loved it - glad I downloaded it and gave it a shot! Kobo is an awesome store that treats its authors right, so I’m happy to support them however I can.

Two suggestions

Saeed Anwar

1. Make the book icons smaller and spread over the entire page, so one could see more books at a glance: say 20 or more 2. The box that open when you want to assign a collection name is too small or limited. Make that box show two or three columns to make the reader’s choice. Otherwise Kobo is best app on the market.

Great App!

I so enjoy this app! My only "thing?" It tends to go back to my iPad home screen quite often. I have to shut down iPad and start again. Annoying, I I do like the app! Thankful it doesn't do this more than a couple of times a week!

Great reader.

I love the page transition and easy access menus. I does spaz our from time to time on the iPad Pro when you try to set a book mark. Might want to think about adding a menus option for that in the next release/update. Other than that I love the page options also I am adverse to light and some readers don’t have an automatic setting for night-time. Well done Rakuten.

Repeating Chapters

Maria Tizon

I have listened to three books so far. Each one has repeated whole sections. Not sure what to do about it. I’ve had to skip through the repeated chapters to find my place in the story. Annoying. I hope there is a remedy. Other than this issue, kobo is a decent service. Good library, simple player. Thank you!

Text selection could use help

Chumly42038

When I try to select text on my iPhone app there are other features that pop up and get in the way, like the dictionary prompt on the bottom of the screen or some unknown thing towards the top left corner. Otherwise app is perfectly fine for me.
