I like this app however I would like to make a few suggestions to make it 5 stars1. The ability to sort my want to read list, and a search specifically on that list.2. The ability to mark all individual book suggestions and recommendations as not interested to stop them constantly appearing (i might be genuinely not interested or i already own in hard copy and don’t want a digital copy). The thumbs down option is not always available and even when I choose thumb down it doesn’t seem to work.3. i am 100% not interested in audiobooks. I would like to the option to either turn this off, exclude completely from searches or to prioritise books in searched.4. Notifications for price drops don’t seem to work. I’ve tried logging out, resetting notifications, reinstalling but never been able to get them consistently.

Store and synchronise the last place I left off in my book. That’s it, that’s your one job! How in the absolutely mercy of Christ can this app do such a bad job! The iPad defaults to the start of the chapter *every single time* I open the app. Sometimes, when I touch the screen to scroll, it then jumps to where I actually left off. Sometimes I end up waaay back in my chapters. You know what just happened when I opened my current read on my iPhone (which I’d been scrolling through one hour ago on my iPad), hmm? It showed where I’d left off, the exact right spot- I was so surprised. I adjust the font size, go to scroll, and BOOM, suddenly I’m *roughly 25 chapters back*. I say roughly because I don’t actually know- working my way forward using the contents has run into another bug- if I scroll on from chapter 40 (works fine on the iPad btw), I get a black screen with no interface, just a glitching loading spinner. This is reading plain text. Now when I try and select chapter 41, I get sent to chapter 28. It’s not supposed to be this hard. I’m twitching from the stress of trying to read a book! For the love of all that is sacred in literature, QA, and the standards of core software, get it together. Seriously, you guys dare to think you can handle AR headsets when you can’t write an e-reader. HA!

Used to be good until we had to instal ios16. I am a blind person who uses voiceover. Since the update it has become harder to read with Apple Books. You now have to slide upwards with 3 fingers to turn a page and when you turn it there are words missing from the new page. This spoils the reading experience and spoils the book. Apple need to deal with this quickly as we have paid money for our books and don’t deserve our experience to be spoilt. Many blind people use apple products as their devices are best for us to use. I hope somebody at apple reads this and makes the situation better. I won’t be buying anymore books from you if the app remains like this. It’s a shame because i have enjoyed using the app untiil now and it is an excellent way to buy books. Before the update i would have given Apple Books 5 stars but not now. I’m glad I’ve had my say. Why is it that people always try to mend things that don’t neeed fixing. It’s what happens when you have to much money coming in and not enough to do.
