holy buggy.

i can't even view a product after i search. i click on it and it takes me back to the search results. FIX YOUR STUPID APP BRUH!!

If I could rate it zero stars I would

The app is awful. It’s impossible to use, if you look anything up it just immediately jumps back to the previous search, I can’t add anything to cart. You think for a bunch of smart people that read books they would know how to make an app.

Can’t checkout

Has anyone else been having trouble adding items to cart? Sometimes the app won’t let me add anything to cart, and when I do add items to cart, I can’t check out. All I get is “Please wait, calculating shipping” and then it stays like that. Nothing even closing the app helps let alone uninstalling it and installing again. This version of the app is worse than the last one

Terrible app

So many bugs with the app. Certain features do not work. For example, I have 27 items in my wishlist but only 3 items show up. Also, you cannot track packages. When you hit the tracking button, it does nothing. I tried to add a preorder Blu-ray and no matter how many times I hit the preorder button it doesn’t add it to my cart.

Not usable

I cant even successfully order through the app now. Each time I’ve tried recently it gets stuck saying it’s “updating the shipping method.” Have had to purchase through the website instead.

FAQ

What can I buy on the Barnes & Noble app?

The app allows you to shop a massive selection of books across various genres, including children's books, manga, and bestsellers. You can also find eBooks, audiobooks, NOOK devices, toys, games, home items, and gifts. Purchases can be shipped directly to your door or picked up at a store.

Can I buy eBooks and digital audiobooks directly through the app?

Currently, the app does not support in-app purchases for digital content like eBooks and digital audiobooks. These items can be added to your Wishlist and purchased through the Barnes & Noble website.

How does the store locator feature work?

The store locator helps you find the nearest Barnes & Noble bookstore. This allows you to browse in person, speak with booksellers, or pick up orders you've placed online at your convenience.

What are the benefits for Barnes & Noble Members?

Barnes & Noble Members can access their membership benefits directly within the app. This includes a scannable digital member card that provides instant access to benefits when shopping in-store.
