Just one thing

I appreciate your app, but it drives me crazy that the pages keep flipping back and forth on me. If you would fix that, the app would be near perfect.

Ok, but with bugs

As a reader, it’s ok. But it’s incredibly frustrating when i flip to the next page, and the app flips back a few seconds later to the page I just read. And it does this randomly: I can read for an hour with no issues, then suddenly it’s flipping.

An easy to use app to store your E books.

I bought some E books, a set. It forced me to use Book Funnel. Never heard of it before. Downloaded and started to use it. From purchase to downloading was easy and then getting it to Peech which is my preferred audio system was equally as easy. I hope to use this app again for future purchases.

Thumbs Down New Update

DELETED AND REDOWNLOADED AND IT’S ALL GOOD NOW! The new update has made it to where none of my books will open. It keeps telling me to delete them and redownload them. Most of them are advanced reader copies and cannot be redownloaded. Can we please get this fixed?? I now can’t read a book that I was 75% in to already.

The books

Are impossible to download

New update has ALOT of Glitches!

First off, let me preface this by saying I love using BookFunnel. I love being able to purchase from authors directly and supporting them in this way.

However, I want to say that since this new update I have been experiencing a lot of glitches! For one, I’ll download the books that I wanna listen to and then I’ll exit out the app and my books won’t be downloaded when I go back into the app later on. Also, sometimes the app will also just randomly shut down when I have it open.

I hope that app support can fix these issues soon because I know I’m not the only one that’s experiencing these problems.

Since the update

Since the update, you have to open links twice before they’ll open in BookFunnel app please fix

Functionally Awful

Sounds like a promising app, but it is so unreliable and keeps constantly crashing. Really disappointing when you are just trying to read a book.

Funktioniert nicht auf dem IPad

Buch nicht auf dem IPad lesbar, sehr ärgerlich

Question for developers

I absolutely love this app, it’s given me my love of reading anywhere back. With hands that refuse to hold a book long enough to read it all, this app makes that possible again. Have recommended to all my book friends.
One thing though- is there a way that we can separate the read books from the to read books? Instead of having to go through all the books to get to the one you want to read? I mean even if it’s just getting the read books to go to the bottom of the lists while the to read books are at the top.

Horrible do not use

Downloaded to read an arc of a book my friend wrote. App has refused to work, cant change font size or type, wont load 90 percent of the time and words and letters will get cut off or broken

I love this app soo much!

I love this app so much it's been a HUGE help especially when you aren't buying the book through Amazon you can still get this book in the bookfunnel app and then send to kindle if needed so it makes reading so much easier! And I also love using it to store and read all of my Advanced Reader Copies or Arcs! Thanks for making such a great app!

Bookfunnel vs Storius

Why are there two? Why do links that say they're delivering a BookFunnel title to me want to open my Storius app? Can I move my titles from Storius to BookFunnel? I'd love to work in a single app world! ^.^

Temporary

I only downloaded this app because author this one audiobook refuses to allow me to listen to it offline. Considering the email I got said it was only good for 21 days. I am going by the assumption that I was duped. I mean, I won’t be able to listen to in 3 weeks regardless.

Simple Reading App, but Missing Key Features

BookFunnel is an alright app, but don’t expect an experience similar to Kindle or Kobo. It offers good customization options like font size, line spacing, margins, and dark mode/themes, which makes reading comfortable.

However, it lacks some features many readers are used to, especially highlighting sentences and built-in dictionary support. I understand the decision to limit copying content, even if I personally see it as a downside. Overall, the app works well for reading and page personalization, but it feels quite basic compared to other major e-reader apps.

App always buggy

Seems like there’s noticeable back door issues with this app. I don’t think they’ll ever get it right or it could be intentional.. recommend not using this app

No Car Play

The only reason I know about this app is because one author I like has an older series and the only place you can buy the audiobooks is from her website. It uses this app but since the series is older it doesn’t have the option to share to kindle. All of that would be fine, except that this app refuses to get itself onto my CarPlay.

Been great so far been using this app and when I did have a problem I’ve reported the problem and they responded quickly

Disappointed

I use to love this app but it really needs an update I can’t even make the the lettering bigger so disappointing as I use this app a lot

The App on my IPad is not working

I downloaded the app to my iPhone and iPad and bought a book to read through the app. Everything works fine on the iPhone, but the book won't open on the iPad. The system requirements are met.

It's a shame I can't comfortably read the book on the iPad; it's simply too small on the iPhone.

I would be very grateful if this problem could be resolved.
