Ratings and Reviews
Excellent App
I have this app for years and I love it. New update is a bit complicated though. And it has a tendency to freeze sometimes when I return to reading after being away from it. Keeps saying it’s loading. I find if I go out of it and go back into it again this helps though so it’s not too bad. I still love it and I recommend it to all my friends.
Updated review; the freezing problem has been fixed, thanks kobo for listening. If I could suggest one thing it would be to be more clear on books that are part of a series and the order that they come in, for example if you put book 1 beside the title as well as in the synopsis. It’s disappointing to get into a story and then realise you’ve missed the first book.
But I still love kobo and would highly recommend it to all.
Useful dictionary
The dictionary gives two definitions: one in the language of the book and one in your native language. This is a very useful feature. Just highlight the word with your finger and the options will come up.
Love this app
I am loving this app, one of the best book apps I’ve used. So easy yet full of little extras, plenty off free books and some great bargains. Win win. A must have if you love to read and like to organise your books.
