Update Failure

B&N failed to update their app to match the recent iOS update so none of the books in the app are accessible. you just receive a red trianfle with an exclamation point and the occassional explanation about the certificate not syncing.

NOT WORKING

After the latest IOS update, the Nook app is no longer working. Others have said the same thing. Message is that it is unable to validate the time certificate, even though the time is correct and up to date in the Settings. Help!

MAJOR BUG

Major bug—app falsely claims iOS time/date is out of sync and flat refuses to download anything. I tried everything, app simply refused to download.

This app is the worst and I want my money back

The nook app is locking me out of the the books I bought. It will not download them and says I need to update my time settings so they match for security. I did that. Five times. This is ridiculous. I just bought new books and now I can’t read any of them. I would give zero stars if I could. Barnes and Nobles, please fix this app.

Meh…

Freezes often, so I have to close it out and restart it. Don’t get my pre-ordered books when I’m supposed to. Can’t purchase ebooks through the apps, only through the glitchy website. It’s like B&N is forcing you to get the subpar Nook. I would have gotten the Kindle app except I had a bunch of books I had already purchased back when I had a Nook.
