### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-08-19*

Cannot even log in, even tried to change my password. Tried to use Facebook and Google and both said they were not able to be used.

### 3/5 — Sick joke

*2023-07-19*

Some kinda sick joke theres no book mark option? Clicking chapters in the index doesn't bring u directly to the page, I have to scroll and guess where to start reading? Come on
No stars do better

### 4/5 — An improvement over mymustreads

*2023-03-25*

The app mostly works as expected, but sometimes gets stuck on a white loading screen when it is pulled back to the foreground. Killing it and reopening resolves that issue.
An annotation feature would be nice.

**Developer response:** We're so glad you're enjoying the new app! Thanks for the bug report, our engineering team will look into that right away. If you have a moment, we'd love to hear from you at support@booksio.com to learn more about the device you're using so we can pinpoint the issue.

I have great news, though: Booksio supports annotations! When reading an ebook, press and drag to select some text, then choose "Highlight" from the context menu. That text will highlight for you, and prompt for any notes you'd like to leave. Your highlights and notes will sync to every device you use for Booksio. Enjoy!

### 5/5 — Booksio: The perfect App for Digital Book Lovers

*2023-03-17*

Booksio is an excellent app for anyone who loves to read digital books. The app offers a user-friendly interface that makes reading easy and enjoyable. One of the best things about Booksio is the ability to customize the reading experience.

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2023-03-05, version 2.0.5*

I can’t even open any books. When I try to, the loading screen never goes anywhere. I miss MyMustReads

**Developer response:** We're so sorry you're experiencing this problem! We'd love to hear from you to learn more about the device you're using so that we can fix this problem for you. Please reach out to us at support@booksio.com and we'll be happy to help.

### 5/5 — Booksio App - Improving all the time.

*2023-02-24, version 2.0.4*

I have used the Booksio reading app since it first went live.  The team has continued to make improvements.  Books are not available in digital or audio format unless you purchase them in the store.  There are some very cool features - even a font for people with dyslexia.  Booksio gives 10% of every purchase to charity and as a small company, that is wonderful.

### 2/5 — Constantly crashing, freezing, and losing place

*2023-02-06, version 2.0.4*

Echoing another review, I have no idea how this app could have anything higher than a three star rating. Constantly freezes, never remembers the page where I left off. eReading app that doesn’t perform basic functions.

**Developer response:** We're so sorry you're experiencing this! That definitely isn't the experience we want you to have, and isn't something we've observed in our test panels. We'd love to talk to you to understand more about what's going wrong on your device and make this an easy and intuitive way for you to read through your purchases. Please reach out at support@booksio.com and we'll find solutions.

### 1/5 — Never able to find books

*2023-01-26, version 2.0.3*

Everyone seems really happy with this app and I’m confused. I hate buying books for Kindle and I liked MyMustReads because I could buy from independent shops so the charitable aspect of this app/site is really enticing. However, I’m never able to find any of the books I want to buy on the website. Not one of them. I would also like to be able to browse books without having to go to the website.
I’m sad that I have so many books stuck on here from MyMustReads. Is there a way to transfer these books to another app?

**Developer response:** We're so sorry you're having trouble finding the books you're interested in! We're adding more books every day, but if there's something in particular that you want and can't find, we would love to hear from you. Please reach out to support@booksio.com or click the chat bubble on our website, and we'll be happy to help.

### 1/5 — How can this app have this rating?

*2022-11-29, version 1.0.9*

Booksio fails for me in almost every way—it forgets my place in my book—repeatedly. It crashes when I highlight or share something—repeatedly. It randomly logs me out and forces me to download my book again—repeatedly. It seems to be rife with bugs like page numbers disappearing and random repaginations. If the book I bought were available electronically literally anywhere else, I would delete this app and never look back. I’m considering buying a paper copy to finish it, because this app is such a hot mess. I take no pleasure in saying it, but I really can’t understand how it can have any positive reviews—this does not compare to even the worst of the many other ebook apps I’ve used. It’s basically unusable.

Worth noting that I was shunted to this app after the service I actually bought the book from apparently went under. 

What is so wrong with plain old epubs?

**Developer response:** We're so sorry you're experiencing this! We released version 1.0.9 to fix problems some customers were having with the app remembering the last-read page in books. If you're still experiencing this or any other issue, please reach out to us at support@booksio.com and we'd love to work with you to make sure your problems are solved and your experience is smooth.

### 5/5 — The ultimate sales machine

*2022-11-09, version 1.0.8*

I am Just starting this book ….I like the functionality of this app. I was able to increase the font and choose what type of style and background I would like to read with. The download was super quick and the app remembers where I left off.  Looking forward to reading more with this user friendly app !
