I believe it’s cause of my iPhone version (16 instead of iPhone 5 as reccomended) but who has iPhone 5 now? The app itself looks amazing ### 2/5 — Bello ma no *2026-04-13, version 4.1.5* Allora prima di tutto c’è non ti chiede la lingua solo in inglese io nn lo capisco lo volevo far leggere un po a mia figlia che a 5 anni però è inglese dicono le parole ,sono facili però 2 ### 2/5 — Take time to render and download *2021-06-24, version 4.1.5* Hi, I really want to read all of the book here but the system not rendering and downloading thus make it hard. Please let me know how to fix this ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2021-06-01, version 4.1.5* App no longer works. “Updating” of books never finishes. Too bad. ### 1/5 — Shiitedfsh *2021-05-10, version 4.1.5* This App doesn’t let you actually read any books because it continuously loads/renders ### 1/5 — Garbage don’t even waste your time *2021-04-29, version 4.1.5* This app It’s not fixed nothing works save yourself the time and energy and look for another library app ### 3/5 — Awesome in need *2021-04-01, version 4.1.5* Awesome book read app. I enjoy reading with this app.. so how about small update to get this app running smiles thanks! ### 2/5 — It isn’t downloading the books *2021-01-21, version 4.1.5* This app isn’t downloading any of the books. It is saying wait 20 seconds to 2 minutes. Very frustrating! ### 1/5 — Books *2021-01-14, version 4.1.5* I can’t get any books to render which is really frustrating because it has some great books. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Books never ‘render’ or open 2 years after the last time I deleted this app. *2020-10-28, version 4.1.5* I’ve updated this review over the years since 2016. It’s now 2020. The app doesn’t work and hasn’t been updated since 2016. That’s probably all you need to know but if u want more details read on. 2019: A couple of years ago I used this app all the time. Then about 1-2 years ago they did an update that required your books to “render” because they’d made SUCH IMPROVEMENTS to the reader. Only problem was the books never rendered no matter how long you waited. I deleted the app. Now it’s 2020. I downloaded the app again and lo and behold the problem is still not fixed!! Books just sit there ‘rendering’ and never open. This app could be great if it worked. Fix the issue or take it off the App Store - it’s ridiculous. Update late 2020 - 6 months later still not fixed and I can’t even find the app on the App Store anymore. Apple probably buried it so deep they are only using it on the other side of the earth in China. Hard to understand why the dev. Hasn’t fixed it. Hope he/she is ok. ### 1/5 — Free Books is wonderful, BUT... *2020-10-24, version 4.1.5* Gr8 app when it works. Sorry the developer must be in some tough times to not be able to get it functioning like it used to. Won’t get past the buggy “rendering” loop. ### 1/5 — Dead app *2020-09-17, version 4.1.5* This app hasn’t been working properly for a couple years now. ### 1/5 — BAD DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2020-09-06, version 4.1.5* This is the worst app i ever downloaded i just wanted to read a small book and i was stuck onthe loading screen while rendering for 34 MINUTES BAD APP! ### 1/5 — waste of time *2020-09-04* doesn’t work ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2020-07-12, version 4.1.5* Download the App “My Books”. It is is the more recent version of Books ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App Never Works *2026-05-07, version 4.1.5* I used the app many years ago and it worked well. Recently I tried to return and even paid to unlock audiobooks. Unfortunately, the books disappeared from my library and the app glitches when I try to download any new books. ### 1/5 — Not good! *2026-03-22, version 4.1.5* I couldn’t even use the app because it kept freezing. What good is that? Never even got to try it. ### 1/5 — Can’t download any book *2024-10-16, version 4.1.5* Can’t contact the provider and also unable to download any books. ### 1/5 — Open….please *2024-05-12, version 4.1.5* Ever since the last update the app does nothing but spin in update mode. It’s never ending. O much for reading. ### 1/5 — Review *2023-10-24, version 4.1.5* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — I can't download the book. *2022-10-01* I can't read a book even though it's a beautiful design. I can't even sign in. Please update! Please fix it so that I can download the book. ### 1/5 — It is a scam. It doesn’t work *2022-02-08, version 4.1.5* The app that’s looks like this one is called AUDIOBOOKS - don’t fall in this trap. This one is a scam. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2022-02-06, version 4.1.5* They had some of the best classic books. Now the app doesn’t work. A shame, really. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t download books or audiobooks *2021-11-13, version 4.1.5* When you try to download, it disappears. There is nothing in the library! And the developer website has a 404 error. ### 1/5 — No new updates *2021-09-16, version 4.1.5* This app hasnt been updated in a very long time, at least 5 years. Books will not download or open and the email feature doesn’t work. This was once a really great app I enjoyed many great reads from and would love for it to make a comeback. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No books *2023-12-16, version 4.1.5* I try to down load and read a book and not show. It is blank. Requesting a refund. ### 5/5 — Really good please update *2021-06-06, version 4.1.5* This is a really good app and it has a lot of good literature, it just needs to be updated. Maybe the creator lost their pass code, so Apple please make contact with these people so they can get back into their account and update the app. This is a very good thing which we should promote, and I hope you guys will update your app. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-03-04, version 4.1.5* A fantastic source for many classic titles! ### 5/5 — Mary-Ann *2020-12-03, version 4.1.5* An excellent free app very sad the rendering takes way more than 2 min ### 5/5 — It’s free.
