Reviews of Kobo Books

Almost Perfect

I’m loving the app so far. Have been able to get good deals on the book series I am currently reading. I just wish there was an option to scroll read, as well as swiping through “pages”. It’s just my preference and has been an option on other reading platforms I use. Other than that it’s great

Download problem

Have recently purchased an e-book and received a conformation email. However, our iPad is definitely connected to our wifi, but when pressing the sync button no download occurs. Now finally, the book that I received the order confirmation for on 11th Nov. has now appeared on my ‘recently added’ today (18th Nov.). So problem has righted itself.

Helpful problem solving when things don’t work

While I am still having trouble with the app, Kobo has contacted me and given a lot of help to try and sort out the problems! They have been very helpful. I have also been able to access my books from one of their other apps, so it’s all worked out.
******. ******. ******
I bought an audio book to use with the app. I can’t download it. I can’t change my password for the website to try and fix the problem with the app. I can’t contact anyone to ask for help. AI answers just point me back to things I have already tried unsuccessfully. This is really not a great experience for me at all.
