### 3/5 — Не подгружает фото в последнем обновлении

*2026-07-24*

На айфонах последнее обновление не прогружает ни одну картинку или фото.

**Developer response:** Как же так 🤔 Будем признательны, если вы напишете нам на почту care@litres.ru, чтобы мы смогли всё проверить и поискать решение!

### 3/5 — Все мои книги удалены, аккаунт полностью пустой

*2026-07-19*

Полностью пустой аккаунт и все мои книги удалены. Видимо, как результат очередных обновлений.

**Developer response:** Непорядок 🤔 Как будет минутка, напишите, пожалуйста, нам на care@litres.ru — обязательно всё проверим и поможем!

### 1/5 — Не рекомендую

*2026-07-18, version 4.86.0*

На протяжении более 10 лет приобретал книги,все было хорошо , в один момент все исчезало, обращались в поддержку вернули мизер, по остальным рекомендовали искать подтверждение оплаты. Низкая клиентоориентированность.

### 3/5 — Последние несколько месяцев приложение не подгружает обложки книг

*2026-07-08, version 4.85.0*

Последние несколько месяцев приложение не подгружает обложки книг. Печально конечно.

### 1/5 — Как я покупал книжку на Литрес

*2026-06-26, version 4.84.0*

Купил кину в дорогу , а скачалась только несколько глав, до поддержки не достучаться, не  рекомендую это приложение , пустое.

### 1/5 — Приложение перестало работать за границей и через VPN

*2026-06-21, version 4.84.0*

Пользовалась приложением на протяжении многих лет, куплено более ста книг, но увы приложение более не работает за пределами РФ или через VPN, даже уже скаченные книги. Свинство со стороны владельцев. Перехожу на Spotify, купила подписку с книгами.

### 5/5 — Интересный

*2026-06-15, version 4.83.0*

Все хорошо

### 4/5 — Эксклюзивные книги, но есть нюансы

*2026-06-12, version 4.83.0*

Неудобный вход: верификация по смс не сработала. 
Купленную книгу пришлось искать с собаками (обновление последнее, восстановление покупки не сработало). Только тут есть эта аудиокнига, это единственное, почему я пользуюсь этим приложением.

### 1/5 — Не рекомендую

*2026-06-04, version 4.83.0*

Все книги, которые я купила за несколько лет, исчезли (некоторые безвозвратно), они не загружаются.
Поддержки нет абсолютно никакой, только отписки.

### 1/5 — Книги в подарок

*2026-05-30*

Антигуманно подсовывать любителям книг,  такую подборку «макулатуры» в подарок. В который раз, отказываюсь, не из чего выбрать.

**Developer response:** Жаль, что у вас сложилось такое впечатление :( Постараемся в будущем сделать подарочные подборки более разнообразными 🙌
