Secara harga, jika Anda termasuk kutu buku, cukup setimpal. Untuk pembaca yang tinggal di luar Indonesia dan sangat kesulitan menemukan buku Indonesia, saya sangat senang ketila menemukan apps ini. Masalahnya adalah apps ini sepertinya tidak memikirkan kenyamanan membaca. Tulisan dalam halaman buku terlalu kecil dan tidak ada pilihan mengatur besar tampilan. Kedua, pembaca tidak dapat mengklik halaman atau bab yang diinginkan, melainkam harus „membalik“ halaman satu persatu. Kalau ini diperbaiki maka akan sangat baik sekali. **Developer response:** Halo Kak Stach, terima kasih banyak atas dukungan, kesetiaan berlangganan, serta ulasan positifnya mengenai kelengkapan koleksi buku kami. Kami sangat memahami kenyamanan membaca adalah hal yang utama. Mengenai kendala ukuran tulisan dan navigasi halaman yang Kakak alami, berikut panduan fitur yang bisa Kakak gunakan: 1) Untuk Memperbesar Tampilan Tulisan: - Format EPUB: Kakak bisa mengetuk layar 1 kali saat membaca, lalu pilih menu Pengaturan (ikon gear) untuk memperbesar/memperkecil ukuran huruf sesuai kenyamanan. - Format PDF: Kakak bisa memperbesar tampilan dengan metode cubit layar (pinch zoom in / zoom out) menggunakan dua jari. 2) Untuk Langsung Menuju Bab/Halaman Tertentu: Kakak tidak perlu membalik halaman satu per satu. Caranya, ketuk layar 1 kali saat buku terbuka, lalu klik ikon Daftar Isi. Di sana, Kakak bisa langsung mengklik bab atau halaman yang ingin dituju. Semoga informasi ini dapat membuat pengalaman membaca Kakak menjadi lebih menyenangkan! ### 2/5 — No dark mode or eye reader friendly surface *2025-01-22, version 6.1.2* Bagus sih tapi selama pake app ini gak pernah nemu buku format epub. Gak ada tuh mode gelap atau mode lain yang seperti diiklanin thumbnail profile app. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Big liar, do not use this app *2023-01-06* I already subscribe but they didnt show the book, be careful ### 1/5 — Can not work properly *2022-06-24, version 4.17.3* Purchased the Paket Premium but couldn’t access any book ### 2/5 — Banyak Masalah *2022-04-16* Suka hang sendiri. Nggak keunduh, terus tiba-tiba tanpa alasan akun diblokir. Susah untuk pembaca kalau begini ### 1/5 — Buku in delivering status *2022-04-09* After phurcased book saya kira dah bisa lgsg baca. Tapi bukunya masih blm bisa dibaca sampai skrg. Dan berganti stts dr phurcase to delivering . uang saya juga sudah ke ambil. Itu bagaimana ya team dev? Tolong dikonfirmasi dan kirim buku saya . ### 1/5 — What a rip off *2022-02-18* Sudah bayar , tidak bisa download , buang buang uang, kemana tu uang?menjengkelkan. ### 2/5 — Please develop more *2022-01-12, version 4.17.3* I want to appreciate Gramed’s team to create this feature/app it’s helpful but there are things that need to add more stuff in this app... I am agree with some other comments but I want to add more comments such as: 1. I am expecting in the future that Gramedia digital NOT only can be open in small devices like cellphone, iPad or tablet BUT also can be open in Laptop and Computer because if we lost those devices while working on our studies, it will be stressful. 2. Because you guys selling academic books it is very helpful if we can copy-paste sentences for “quotes” to add on our paper project rather than us typing those long sentences for quotes. I don’t know how are you going to create that, I don’t mind if you limit or put barriers so no one can’t copy paste the whole book. Gramedia still better and helpful than Amazon Kindle on following every pages of the books according to the original. It very helpful for college students🙏🙏🙏 ### 3/5 — Slow app but offers various book on Bahasa Indonesia. *2021-12-25* The app is relatively slow, and the interface is not fascinating. The app offers only books in pdf (not an eBook format), and readers can only read the books through the app. I downloaded it because I missed reading a book in Bahasa Indonesia while living abroad. The watermark is annoying on every page of books. The collection is varied, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly, which is a good deal. Hopefully, the app can be improved. Terima Kasih. ### 1/5 — Fix it *2021-11-29, version 4.17.3* I’ve been pay the ebook, but I can’t download it! ### 1/5 — Aplikasinya Jelek *2021-11-17, version 4.17.3* Beli E-Book, tp gak dapat. Tidak ada follow up dari costumet care. 👎 ### 1/5 — Aplikasi tidak berfungsi sejak update OS *2021-10-18* Sejak update ke ios 14.8, buku yang sudah di download tidak bisa dibaca. Halamannya stuck di halaman 1, lalu muncul pesan error. Padahal ingin sekali baca buku2 Indonesia secara legal. Tapi kalau begini jadi males juga 😔 ### 1/5 — Mengubah jumlah majalah yang bisa di download secara sepihak! *2021-07-04, version 4.16.4* Anda mengubah jumlah majalah yang seharusnya bisa didownload secara gratis, tapi sekarang harus berbayar. Apa yang salah dengan sistem anda??? ### 3/5 — Could be better *2021-04-20, version 4.16.4* I live outside Indonesia, so was very happy to find this apps where I could buy and read books in Indonesian. But for the last few months, I have not been able to purchase the ebooks and no solution seems to be forthcoming. I’m guessing that it is because I don’t an Indonesian bank account, or Indonesian credit cards or mobile number. It needs to find a solution for clients not living in Indonesia. ### 2/5 — Ebook settings needs work. *2020-11-23, version 4.16.4* The settings for E-books are very limited. For example, the fonts can’t be changed, the background color isn’t helpful for night reading, you must open the book again if you switch apps. This app would be great 5 years ago but ayolah ini tahun 2020. Perkembangkan applikasi ini! Di Kindle app ada banyak hal yang dapat menarik orang untuk membaca, applikasi ini juga bisa, ayolah!! ### 2/5 — So annoying *2020-11-17, version 4.16.4* Not good ### 3/5 — Pengelolaan langganan bisa lebih praktis *2020-11-13, version 4.16.4* Mohon diperbaiki agar proses berhenti langganan dipermudah terutama di perangkat iOS. Lewat web saja bisa lebih praktis. ### 1/5 — Cant login through facebook *2020-09-19* Paid and subscribed through gramedia website and since i could only read the books in their app i tried to log in through their app and it doesn’t let me login to facebook. Says “ App Not Setup: This app is still in development mode, and you don't have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions.” ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — TRASH *2026-07-21, version 6.4.2* Purchased buku tapi ngga bisa kebuka.

Spent several weeks with Support to no avail. Apple didn’t want to refund the money. ### 1/5 — Update terkini tidak fungsional *2023-05-15, version 5.0.0* Update terbaru di ekosistem apple tida user friendly. Saya tidak bisa mengakses koran terbaru, karena tidak terupdate. Lebih baik UI lama, tidak terlalu cantik namun fungsional. ### 1/5 — Parah *2023-04-24, version 5.0.0* Free title cant be bought. Filters are not working. Quite sad for kompas gramedia group to get to this level of quality ### 1/5 — 👇 *2023-03-31, version 4.18.0* aplikasinya jelek banget! aku udah purchase tapi pas mau cari-cari bukunya eh tertulis “no result” udah install-uninstall berapa kali tetap aja begitu! belum lagi pas udah muncul bukunya malah gak bisa di download.

Karena mmg sedang tidak tinggal di Indonesia, saya bisa baca keseluruhan isi surat kabar favorit lewat digital. Selain surat kabar, bisa unduh buku yg tersedia juga. Ga banyak sih, tp syukur bgt bbrp buku incaran saya ada yg free. 😁 Dibanyakin dong akses free booknya.😆 ### 5/5 — Happy *2019-01-31, version 4.13.0* Living in Melbourne, I always spent hours at toko buku Gramedia when I am in Indonesia.
