Ratings and Reviews
iOS 16 version worse than before
The latest version is much worse than the previous ones. I don’t like the new interface, it’s much more difficult to skip to different pages or search a book (pulling down was much easier than finding the search button in the menu). And even turning a page isn’t as smooth as it used to be: sometimes I need to repeat the gesture three times before the page turns. These are only some of the worse new “features” of this version. I hope they change them soon.
Can’t double tap to bookmark anymore
I love the Apple Books app, I’ve been reading books on it for many years now. But recently one feature disappeared that is making it harder to use. I used to be able to double tap while reading a book and it would bookmark that page, and now I have to click the little menu at the bottom right and bookmark from there. I know some people didn’t like it but for many it was a very convenient feature. Maybe adding an option in settings to use it or not could be a solution?
Book like view not available?
Does anyone know why in books store books looks like real book with pages visible on left and right, nice depth like shadow on the middle etc but when book purchased and opened view is flat, very different than in store? How to enable book like view?
