### 1/5 — Worst App

*2024-03-31, version 1.11*

I used the website earlier and switched to App recently.

It doesn’t remember my account first of all.

I created an account and ordered 2 books. Payment is successful but no order history. No email confirmation, no trace of a successful or failed booking.

Awesome App

### 1/5 — Worst App

*2024-02-14, version 1.11*

Unable to login through this app. There is no updates regarding tracking of ordered books.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2024-02-09*

Older version better than this no bookshelf       
Fonts are very weak you look quality of kindle
Four years still you are baby if you don’t want promote ebook why you sell ebooks

### 1/5 — Very Bad App and Very Bad Service

*2024-01-17, version 1.11*

I installed the app and tried purchasing a book twice. Both the time after I made the payment, the app got stuck for more than an hour. The only option was to close the app and reopen. The book was still in my cart after I reopened and the payment was gone from my credit card. I wrote to the support team through the link available in the app when it happened first and nobody responded, it’s more than 2 weeks now. Today I was trying to open another support ticket and when I click on send, it says “action is not allowed”!!!!

### 1/5 — Search does not work; ticket creation error

*2024-01-01*

Hi, the search facility does not seem to work. Tried both Malayalam and English. IOS, iPhone 13. OS version 17.2.1.
Support ticket creation errors
 out saying “action not supported”

### 1/5 — Worst support

*2023-11-21, version 1.9*

Lost all purchased books 
And they are not ready for refund.

### 1/5 — Poor application

*2023-11-10*

I Purchased around 39 books and they updated the app which does not work . When I login it just circle . The company who is developing the app has no clue in software development. DC book stop engaging with this company and sign a contract with some one like Magster which mathrubhimi use . Right now I cannot read the books I purchased . Shame on you

### 1/5 — Waste of Money!

*2023-10-28*

I am feeling shortchanged after buying a number of digital books from DC books! The app has been unusable ever since the last update. Is there a way I can refund my purchases?

### 1/5 — This is a joke

*2023-10-10*

This app is a joke .in my personal experience ,half the time the app hangs and the UI is utterly horrible. The latest , app simply doesnt work . After many years and numerous customer feedbacks later, if these guys are not willing to listen to the wake up call , it clearly shows the utter arrogance of the company. I will take the money and run to any app that can give me 10% better experience. Unfortunately these guys have the monopoly on malaylam book rights . I wish writers unite not to sell the online rights of their books to the company that kills the whole online reading experience. Let them continue selling printed copies, that they are good at.

### 1/5 — No option to buy

*2023-07-31, version 1.9*

No option to buy books from this app!!!

### 1/5 — IOS app is still not functional

*2023-07-16*

I have been happy to get an update for this app, but alas the joy was too short lived! So far the only thing that I could achieve here was to log in and browse through my “Collections”, ie the books that I have purchased. And that’s it. I can’t open even a single book since last couple of months. I have spoken with support group but they say it is still under development. 
But if I cannot even read a single book from my purchase, what is the point in having an App?

### 1/5 — Stupid app. I lost 160 rupees

*2022-07-21*

Thought the app will let me download the book. I paid for Malik( screenplay)but not sure what really happened after that. Don’t use it.

### 1/5 — Not supported

*2022-02-19, version 1.5*

It appears that iPhone 13 pro isn’t supported and strange that the issue is with phone model and not ios version.

### 1/5 — Pathetic App

*2021-05-20, version 1.5*

Never works properly even if you high speed Internet

### 1/5 — No pt showing any books

*2021-05-09*

I can’t see any book I purchased in iPad.. why don’t you fix such issues faster.. it looks like I waisted my money in buying ebook!!!

### 1/5 — Not reader friendly

*2021-05-09*

Doesn’t open the the last page read.
Page flipping is erratic - every page.
Can’t go to a page number through search.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-03-05, version 1.5*

Rubbish app. Don’t buy books on this. I spend Rs 700, still haven’t manage to read a word on it. DC books should have done better homework on this- sabu

### 1/5 — App needs to be updated. Not upto the mark.

*2021-02-27*

The app needs to be updated. most of the books does not even have a navigation option. check apps like Kindle, Apple books and make this app more user friendly. We are paying for the books and so we expect more user friendliness. Books purchased can only be read with this app and there is no browser facility provided. We cant even use Kindle device to read DCB books. So atleast make sure that this app is upto the mark.

### 1/5 — Unsahikkable

*2025-11-03, version 1.19*

The worst ebook app ever

### 1/5 — Hello

Could you please update this platform, already bought 1000 worth books

### 1/5 — Worst app in store

Lost so much money buying books. Don’t lose your cash by falling for this scam.

### 1/5 — Purchased book not available

*2025-06-20*

Purchased a book and not yet available....send email for many time and no reply....

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2024-07-22*

This app is still not in a usable format (on 22/July/2024)
Purchased book won’t be available in library immediately. Have to wait 12 hours. 
Can’t apply discount coupons while checking out. 

And most importantly: ALL of the books published by DC books are NOT available as e-books. 

One of the worst apps in the world.

**Developer response:** Bug fixed. New Version available. Pls update the app

### 1/5 — Not working with iphone

Not working with iphone, please fix.

### 1/5 — App bugs

*2024-06-02, version 1.12*

Im still trying to login 🥱

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2024-05-16*

I had purchased some books and after an update they never showed me the books. After another update I could see them but not read them. Now many of the books I had purchased are not even shown or there is no evidence that I had it. I still have this app in my phone hoping someday they would give me the books back! There is no way you could purchase new books also. The person at the store is not even aware that such an app exists. I mailed them and no response.

### 5/5 — Big Improvement Over Time

*2026-04-16*

The app had a rocky start with several bugs and performance issues. Glad to see most of them fixed now, it’s much smoother and far more reliable.

### 5/5 — Good one

*2020-04-24, version 1.5*

Brother 10 books are default. You may purchase 100 s of books from thier store.

### 5/5 — Good App

*2019-08-23, version 1.5*

Please add ‘go to page’ option.  വായിച്ച് പകുതിയായ പുസ്തകം  ഫോൺ Reset ചെയ്യേണ്ടി വന്നാൽ പിന്നെ തുറക്കുമ്പോൾ Bookmak എല്ലാം നഷ്ടമായിട്ടുണ്ടാവും. പിന്നെ അവിടെയെത്താനുള്ള പാട്...

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2019-06-03*

Its good that we have an app to purchase and read Malayalam ebooks. Its most helpful for the Expat community of Malayalees to keep in touch with Malayalam literature. 
To DC books, please add more Malayalam ebooks in all genres.

### 5/5 — Fix

*2018-05-28, version 1.0.9*

Please fix bugs and make the easiest for virtual reading

### 5/5 — Great to read

*2015-02-03, version 1.0.2*

Great app to read malayalam books in ur devices

### 5/5 — Good app

*2015-01-25, version 1.0.2*

Good collection of books

### 4/5 — Issues resolved

*2025-01-08*

Many issues are resolved now. The app is working better now

### 3/5 — Can be better

*2020-04-09*

Dc books has a huge potential if they make this app better with more options to make a reading comfortable. Sad to see no new updates are coming. Options to see the book full screen without the border style, option to read in black background etc are much needed options in my opinion. There are no much malayalam books in amazon for those who live outside india. Hope dc books will publish more books and make this app better.

### 3/5 — Improve

*2018-09-20, version 1.0.9*

Amazon Kindle പോലെ യൂസർ ഫ്രണ്ട്‌ലി ആയിട്ടുള്ള App ആക്കിയാൽ ഉപകാരമായിരുന്നു
