I really enjoy being able to easily add my own books to a reading app, and be able to browse books i can purchase in app, but i think it’s lacking features that would make organisation more streamlined. It would be great to have a sorting option that is reminiscent of a real bookshelf, (the spines of the books lined up with the titles on them) and also a way to sort books by the series they’re in for novels/textbooks that have sequels or are in trilogies or a series etc. Having to create multiple lists for books can get a bit messy and aesthetically upsetting. I kinda expected Apple to do better visually.. I do appreciate being able to choose the font and colour etc, for reading.. but i’d like to be able to have the option to choose colours for book covers instead of just having the original covers.. eg, making a series of books all the same colour, or the genre of book, maybe even dim the covers on the books that have already been read. I think if there could be a bookshelf sorting option like i mentioned above— and the ability to change cover colours and put series’s and sequels with their counterparts that would make a really pleasing aesthetic and also make it much easier for people like myself to navigate the app. Please take my suggestions into consideration. I was unable to find anywhere to send feedback or suggestions so I decided to do so here in the hopes that they would be included.

I only just joined this app, but so far it’s really good. The only thing that I don’t really like is the buying of books. Sure, the more expensive the better, but there are some books I have been looking at the prices are really huge. I have a strict spending budget for each app I use and some books are way over budget. Apart form that I would say this (so far) is the best reading app I have ever used. I would recommend it to people who like a good book. What is also really good is if you have a hard time concentrating is that you can by the audio book version, and it comes with a reasonable price, maybe about double the budget. So in conclusion, I didn’t like the price that much (they are okay), and I am happy they have an audio book version. I would recommend this app to anyone who likes a good bookThanks for reading my review.

Not only has the type sizes been limited, which is a real pain for those with any visual impairment (and the reason I started using the app and iBooks many years ago), but the functionality has been messed with so much that it is really difficult to use. No longer able to easily look up definitions of words, I find it easier to open safari and google the word. Also the menu at the bottom will not always open, no matter how many times I tap it. Very frustrating. Now when I’m reading a book, if I’m in landscape mode, sometimes a new chapter opens when I page forward, even though there are still pages left in the old chapter. The only way I can rectify this is to turn the iPad to portrait mode and then back to landscape mode. Also sometimes when I turn the page and it is a new chapter< I just have blank pages, the only way to rectify this is to close the app and reopen it. Not good enough Apple. Do something about these faults as I cannot afford to rebut all my books on Kindle, nor should I have to. You have made it so these books cannot be read on other tablets so you should ensure that your app works properly and also be more usable by the visually impaired by allowing larger font sizes to be used.

Wouldn't people be happy to blow up your beloved books app with the new app? Congratulations on blowing it up. The newest update is frustatingly hard to navigate. You should stop destroying apps. The original books app was comfortable, and I like the UI but the new UI—whatever, I do not! Do you see a lot of complaints? They all hate the new UI! Just change it back and people would like it! The close button and options button is annoyingly hard to make it appear again, the page turning animation is good and now replaced with a trash animation that makes no sense to change to, the button at the bottom is terrible, change it to various button that appear by default. If you leave the new UI, people will be angry!!! So just change!!! I hate the new UI!!! It's so uncomfortable, is ridiculous, and easy to get irritate!!! Congratulations on wasting your time doing a pointless thing only to increase the amount of critical reviews! I hate the new update! The UI is just confusing to use and already lots of people are hating it! Change it back and you'll get more 5 star ratings!!! Just do it!!!
