NetGalley Shelf 4+

I will be praying for improvements with this app. I just downloaded and can feel like I should just use my Kindle app the read these books. But I thought this app would help me differentiate between the books I’m reading for Netgalley and the ones from other sources. When you are downloading the book, a little window pops up and it says “Start downloading the book.” I feel like it should just say “Downloading” I was really confused at first because when I read that, it made me feel like I should click on it to download. Also, when you are flipping the pages, should it be like the kindle where you feel like you’re actually reading a book and not a document? Scrolling makes it feel unnatural. I haven’t tried the audiobook feature yet, but the reviews make me hesitant to do so. Sooooo many improvements are needed for this app. I was so excited for it when I read it. Anything that can be done on my phone makes for convenience. I hope there will be a better update soon.

I like the NetGalley service but the app is pretty awful for a reading app because it cuts off the top and the bottom of the book. There’s a shaded area at top and bottom of page and so you can’t see the last few sentences of each page. It’s totally infuriating…

After two years and countless emails back-and-forth with NetGalley, I’ve given up hope that I’ll be able to sign in to this app. I have reinstalled and reset my password countless times but I keep getting anerror that sign in. The app is simply poorly coded.
