Customer Reviews
Kobo
Very buggy. Crashes every time I open it and can't get to the book I need to read for more than a few seconds. Also, wIsh there were a way to turn the facebook option off so that it doesn't get in the way every time I open the ap. It is not a feature I will ever use.
Kobo deleted my books!
It's NOT OK to delete my books without any warning at all just because I ran low on space on my iPod. I had many, many books that i paid for on here last time I was in the app a week ago. Then I guess I took too many pictures or added too many apps since then because I ran low on space. I deleted a bunch of pictures to allow for space, but without asking or telling me, Kobo DELETED EVERY BOOK IN MY COLLECTION without warning just to give make space on my iPod! Are you serious??? I opened the app today and the notification I got is that they deleted all my books due to my iPod being too full and that to get them back I have to redownload them from my pc. I downloaded these books when I had plenty of space, the lack of space was later in the course of using my iPod. Why would they take my books without warning to make room for future apps or pictures instead of simply telling me my iPod was full???!! I'm on a trip, away from my pc, and now I have not a single book in my collection!!! Not one!! I'm very unhappy with this app!!! One little notification BEFORE THEY DELETED MY BOOKS is all that was necessary to let me know they'd delete my books if I ran too low on space and I could have avoided all that wasted time and money!!! That's just plain hateful!
Crap
Couldn't get out of the first chapter of the first book. I don't want to read comments, see how many people have read the same thing or twitter about books, I just want to read them. Deleted the app in frustration after wasting ten minutes of my life on it.
