What's New in Walmart eBooks

10.7

August 8, 2023

Here are some improvements and updates we’ve made in our latest release: • You can now share a book’s description with your friends by text, AirDrop, social media, or however you’d like, instead of only by email or Facebook. • We’ve added an AirPlay button to audiobooks so you can cast to any supported speaker or device. • You’ll now see a Kobo Plus tag on your homepage to indicate books included in the Kobo Plus catalogue. • We resolved a bug where some text was being cut off at the end of a book’s chapter. • We’ve also resolved an issue where two-column layout in landscape was not being saved between sessions.

What happened?

I’ve been using Walmart ebooks for quite awhile now and have been quite happy with it, but for the last 3 days I haven’t been able to open the app. Every time I tap on the icon, it seems like it’s going to open, but then disappears. I’ve even deleted the app, then redownloaded it and it didn’t make a difference, still disappears. I have quite a few books I’ve bought through this app and Kobo and one in particular that I read every day. I sure hope you fix this issue so I can get back to reading my books.

I don’t like this App

After dealing with the frustration and aggravation of having to purchase audiobooks/e-bookson a separate app, just so I can access them through the Walmart app, I am so annoyed and not to mention upset about the time that I’ve lost having to deal with this ridiculous quagmire.

I’m going back to Audible

Ease of use

I love the price but the ease of use leaves a lot to be desired. I have trouble keeping books downloaded. I have had several issues being able to get new books with my available credits. The app would get 5 stars if purchasing new books were easier and faster to access through the app instead of being redirected to Walmart and then crashing before you could make your purchase. When I use the Kobo Rakuten app and link it to Walmart it never works anymore. I’m about done with this entire process and ready to use audible only. I hate spending money and not getting to listen to books I’ve purchased.

Price is great. App can Be hard to maneuver

I love this app and I’ve used it for a long time and now in the past six months, I can play samples of books but it doesn’t give me the option to download them. It’s very very frustrating.
