Change it back

Whoever made the changes to the website and the app needs to be fired because what do you mean I need a security code every time I wanna login but can’t get a security code because there’s an issue. Never had an issue with the website or app before leave things alone.

Can’t log in

Ever since they updated the app, I can’t log in. Put in the code sent to email and it just says “please enter the correct code”

Update: went to try it another day and it showed me already logged in, so I guess no issues of now.

Junk

Probably the worst UX I’ve came across in some time. When setting filters, why would you remove them when going back a page? Immediately uninstalled.

Unusable

It doesn’t work. It was working just fine before. Why did you mess with it? Everything is worse. This app has become almost completely unusable. It is too difficult to browse books on the app. It’s frustrating and needs fixed.

Worse than the previous version

I’m not sure what was done to this app, but the updated version is worse than the previous one. Titles disappear and reappear from wishlists, requests for titles to be held for pickup don’t seem to be getting through to my local store as I don’t receive any emails that my order is ready. Hopefully this issues get fixed soon.

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?

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.

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.
