Zero Stars

Deletes books, collections don’t sort alphabetically, randomly reverts according to who knows what sort algorithm.Generally, a mess. Good for less than a dozen books. Definitely not a library.And heaven forbid that it exist on more than 1 device. Anybody produce a PDF book reader? Anyone else?

Needs Fixing

I have contacted Kobo, and I am sure this issue will be fixed but... when readers stop reading a book the next time you want to read it you have to download it. This means that the app is pretty useless once you leave home.

Not bad

Would love the original themes back. The new ones aren't as nice. The option for the older ones instead would be very nice please.
Here’s what’s new in our latest release:
• By popular demand, Cover/Grid view is back in My Books.
• On your Home Screen, you can now toggle between Recent Reads or Recently Added.
• We’ve introduced new custom playback speed control for audiobooks, with quick presets for fine‑tuned listening.
• Bookmarks now show a preview of the first few lines right in your Annotations list.
• Enjoy smoother and faster vertical scrolling throughout the app.
