Good.. But...

I honestly think that this app is excellent. It is an app that my English teacher said we could use on our phone or devices when we want to get some reading in. I love how there are many books of different genres and how the books that I read, that usually aren't provided in places like usual libraries, are provided in the app. The only con about this app that I've encountered is that some of the audiobooks have reallyyyy boring voices. The audiobooks with voices that I feel are way to lifeless or boring, I just end up skipping and not even reading. I literally can't stand boring voices when it comes to audiobooks. Again, this doesn't apply for all of the audiobooks, but it definitely does apply for some.

Wouldn’t let me sign in!

I was already in when it logged me out and I couldn’t get back in

Great app

This is overall a great app! Sometimes you have to wait weeks for books, but otherwise, good app!

Sora sucks

Has none of the books I want even if they are in my school library 😡🤬

SO GOOD

This app is so good I can read all the books that I don’t own and not even have to go the library! It’s so good!

Glitched holds

Im supposed to read two books for my summer reading which is already stressful and a drag, I finally finish my first book and now about to borrow the second book I was supposed to read. My friend was just reading the second book, and mind you she just returned it! I go to borrow the book like a good student and it says I have to wait two weeks! I don’t have two weeks to wait. School starts less than two weeks and the book im reading for that class is HONORS!! I’m really upset and was looking forward to being prepared at my new school. No way someone took the book the second she returned it. I also placed it on hold before my friend even clicked to read it, so no, it did not just give it to the most recent person who placed it on hold, I was that person . No offense to the app, it’s actually very convenient when you prefer reading audiobooks 👀. I would like to read my book “A Little World of History”. I am Fuming.

Sort of boring

They don’t have most of the collection books and I have to wait many weeks just for a book that won’t last that long

Plz add

I use this and it is ok but sometimes books in groups just aren’t in the app e.g the first book in the “investigators” series isn’t in the app

Love sora, one problem

I really like sora. It is a good app, but I think that how they turn it is not a very good way it turns halfway, then does a full turn.🤩😒

Me like it

I like Sora because I like audiobooks and I use the Audiobooks to help me go to sleep so I like the sleep timer and I like the highlights and notes too and they may not have all the books you’re looking for but you can check out other apps like audible. Audible is really great too.🥸

Holds are BS

I hold book and it says 2 weeks. The app randomly pauses hold multiple times. After 3 months it says 4 weeks. This app sucks.

Great app🩵

So I downloaded this app and I love it sooo much!! The only negative thing I have to say is that some book series are not complete in audio book versions. Including warriors and Harry Potter. If the app could have a few more complete series in audio book I would be very grateful 💛

Reading lover

I love using this app to read books during school, sadly I could not finish some books before I graduated

It could be a lot better

I thing it could use some work because I have it on my phone and my iPad but it doesn’t load on my iPad but it does on my phone. It’s a good app but I feel that it could have some more variety because it doesn’t have many LGBTQIA+ books but a lot of others so…. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ could lowkey use some updates and bug fixes. Other than that its a good app!

It was ok…

Sora kept saying that it couldn’t find my account so I deleted the app then 4 months later tried it again and guess what? Still nothing! Otherwise I think it would have been great, because a lot of other apps you have to pay for for this kind of stuff, so Sora was not that bad

Please change this bug

So I finished a reading challenge and it just stayed there so you need to make it so once a challenge finishes you need to automatically make it delete

Not 4 and older 9 and older trust me there are some scary book covers!

This is the best reading app I’ve had! Buuuuut there is a downside for younger kids there are some books on this app that are very horrible for kids to be seeing I highly suggest you read with an adult next to you if you are 10 and younger but that depends if your child can handle scary stuff ok and when I say scary I’m saying 8/10 ok so scroll for books with an adult next to you 👍 PS my sister got nightmares from the book covers ok.There are no ads on this app.

It won’t load

I was trying to open up Sora today and it wouldn’t work so I closed it and opened it back up, but it wouldn’t work still it works other times, but just not today so I’d give it a four out of five

Underrated

An honestly underrated reading app,
Highly recommend

wonderful app

this is a great app instead of entertaining myself by watching TV I’m on this just.a few more things I would have some more books like you should have books like allergic besties find their groove and other graphic novels. I really like the graphics novels.
