User reviews

app sucks

can’t click into books because it resets the filter every. damn. time.

It resets if you look at it wrong.

Fix your UX and code ASAP it will turn people away from using the app.

New App is Garbage

I can’t even use this “new” app and now use the website in a browser. The app feels like it’s from 2010. Order history is a joke. Preorder dates are completely missing and no book covers even show. Tracking doesn’t work at all. It’s like an unclickable link. Ugh. Please fix. It’s horrible.

Love B&N, but not this app

App is a mess. Crashes out. Freezes. Locks my phone up. Completely unusable since the update.

Update = Downgrade

Whoever is behind the new update needs to actually use the previous version of the app, maybe they wanted it cleaner but now you can’t see what you ordered in a valuable way. Previously you could see the release dates and expected ship dates now if just says a title, nothing can be clicked on there’s no information, just an order date what’s the point of using the app if you can’t see everything you’re doing and all the additional information that goes with pre ordering.

Order Screen

The order screen doesn’t load properly at all. The covers are blank and pre-orders you can’t even see their date either. You have to log onto the actual website. Would help also when you “heart” something when looking at 20k books it doesn’t bring you all the way back up to the top of the page so you have to scroll all the way back down to where you were.
