### 1/5 — App is now useless

*2026-04-19, version 2026.04.10*

Since a recent update the app is useless. You can’t put videos into widescreen mode or the app crashes. It doesn’t save where I left off anymore, it always asks to confirm if I’m a human now, it’s a total disaster. I’ve spent $1,000s on content in my gumroad library and now it’s virtually impossible to access it. Why haven’t you fixed your app?

### 3/5 — Creator Ability?

*2026-04-14, version 2026.04.10*

I downloaded this hoping to make and sell products but it appears that the app is only for reading bought products. I’m surprised it’s not even a marketplace apparently, just a reader. I would love a creator and marketplace section. I hope the app expands in the future to be more like the website.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-04-11, version 2026.04.10*

I downloaded this as part of a site required to do virtual scaping of my aquarium.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-04-09, version 2026.04.04*

Can’t see anything beyond past sales. It doesn’t even display the products/services posted on my storefront. It’s the epitome of a useless app.

### 1/5 — No good

*2026-04-08, version 2026.04.04*

Terrible, app doesn’t sync to where I last left off, full of bugs, why bother having an app if I have to use website

### 2/5 — App is malfunctioning

*2026-04-06, version 2026.04.04*

The app is not working properly. It was fine Friday morning (April 3). Now, my entire library of my paid subscription does not load and I can’t access any of my content. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app but I’m still unable to access the contents of my library.

### 1/5 — New update is terrible

*2026-04-05, version 2026.03.31*

Lost all bookmarks. Every time you open a book, it starts back at page 1. Horrible. Big step back.

### 1/5 — Notification

*2026-04-03, version 2026.03.31*

We need old notification chin chin

### 2/5 — Impossibly hard on ipad

*2026-03-22, version 2025.12.15*

Trying to use this app on ipad is ridiculously hard. The screen is small and keeps glitching, and the login glitches literally every time. I could barely get into my account due to the ipad screen display for this app glitching

### 1/5 — The button to find content on iPhone IS HORRIBLE 😡

*2026-03-12, version 2025.12.15*

Fix the APP! I am paying $20 a month for my subscription to support the creator of the content and it’s very frustrating not to be able to access it due to poor construction of the proper buttons to work on iOS

### 1/5 — في عندي خطا البرنامج ميشتغل عندي

في عندي خطا البرنامج ميشتغل عندي

### 1/5 — Buttons just not working

*2026-03-11, version 2025.12.15*

I made it to the end of a course, holding off on downloading material because I was using my phone. When I was finally able to print, I can't navigate through the course. None of the buttons work. Can't go back or forward, can't see the course chapter list. All I can do is leave the course... glitchy and bad navigation.

### 1/5 — bug, with navigation arrows

*2026-03-10, version 2025.12.15*

There’s this bug on the app and website, where the navigation arrows don’t do anything but extent the webpage. I used to be able to access all the products I’ve purchased, now I can’t. PLEASE FIX THIS.

### 1/5 — It ain’t working

*2026-03-09, version 2025.12.15*

I just payed 12 bucks on some art here, this bs won’t let me download. Fix it

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-03-08, version 2025.12.15*

What is the purpose of this app? All i see is library and nothing else to navigate. It’s frozen or it’s just that a library button with zero context/guidance.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2026-03-08, version 2025.12.15*

It’s just bad

### 1/5 — Does not open

*2026-08-21, version 2026.08.19*

This review may well change, but for now it is completely useless to me as every time I open the app I get an error message that says “page not found - go back”

### 1/5 — Site

*2026-08-06, version 2026.08.04*

The app doesn’t open

### 1/5 — Non functional

*2026-07-05, version 2026.07.02*

App fails to load and is unresponsive

### 1/5 — Jonah Vale Book Con

*2026-06-20, version 2026.06.15*

What a con this was. Paid £18 for a book my daughter could’ve written and I don’t know how to get my money back. The app gives no way to get support or get my money back so having to speak to my bank.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-06-06, version 2026.05.26*

This app has went downhill for sure a client paid me $25 I couldn’t get the money unless I had $100 so I tried to refund her they kept $5 and I was only able to refund her $20..

### 1/5 — Won’t play

*2026-05-31, version 2026.05.26*

I purchased the Theta language MP3 and it won’t play at all through the Gumroad app and when I first bought it, I downloaded it to my device and it played fine through my device but now it won’t even play through that either and I’ve been on the phone with Apple support for the last two hours arguing with them about it because there’s no reason for it to have magically stopped working when it worked for the last two months

### 1/5 — I can't even login I'm deleting the app

*2026-05-27, version 2026.05.26*

There's no point in having the app

### 1/5 — Content upload not on the app

*2026-05-24, version 2026.05.19*

Does it mean we cannot as creators upload document and files from the app.  How then can we make this a handy Point of Sale yet it’s no while we can’t make it handy

### 1/5 — Gumroad app 0*

*2026-05-12, version 2026.04.29*

This app from the App Store doesn’t work, but you can still use their website. It definitely needs to be fixed for any good reviews to happen.

### 1/5 — Verifying you are human

*2026-04-25, version 2026.04.10*

It’s fine to verify if i’m human but to do so every download? When i’m trying to mass download brushes it’s so annoying. Fix this

*2026-02-03, version 2025.12.15*

Daria’s lessons have been so helpful for me to learn about how to approach drawing. Easy for a beginner to understand how to make a good drawing of people, landscape, and nature without having to be able to draw!! Try it. You might be surprised how well you can do🪷
