Kobo Books Pros

✓ Very Pleased With My Kobo AppI am happy with the Kobo app and have had no problems. I also have other popular reading apps and Kobo compares very favourably. The Kobo app actually had extremely convenient features far earlier than the most popular American app, so it’s definitely a quality product. I had an early Kobo device and I liked it but I found I preferred to use a large screen iPad for reading (ageing eyes). Being able to still access my Kobo books and to continue to purchase new Kobo books through the app was a key factor in my choice. I recommend this app to anyone who wants a reading app rather than a reading device..AnndvVersion: 9.22

✓ Good reader - still has annoying bugsI use this reader a lot. It seems that recent updates have solved the “Chapter Jumping” issue, whereby, instead of being able to go to the following chapter of a book, after completing a chapter, it starts at the beginning of the chapter that has just been completed. However the following issue has become more frequent: Once the app has not been used for example an hour or so, tapping the screen to invoke the background color and brightness adjustments is ignored. The app has to be completely shut down and restarted for that function to work. Other elements such as font size adjustments also become sticky and requires and app restarted to clear the stick elements. Perhaps there is a way to introduce a night/day mode switch function to allow the user to quickly change user adjustable backlight settings. This is run on a fully updated iPhone XS..BuggycodeVersion: 9.12

Kobo Books Cons

✗ Frustrating.I have been using Kobo e-readers for the last 7 years and it all started out great. But then for no reason at all I cannot sync my other devices to my library of purchases. This has been an issue for the last few years and no matter how many times I log in and out or email kobo, nothing helps. It’s a shame. The devices are great but I want to be able to whip out my phone and continue reading on the go. I guess I’ll have to jump ship to Kindle..KridahVersion: 9.4.2

✗ Designed by committee, not for readersThe Kobo app seems like a perfect showcase for why kobo is not now and unfortunately won’t be the leader in the ebook world. Font selection and control is basic and finicky. Even after a decade of iPads and tablets, it has no support for showing two pages side by side in landscape — holding your iPad in landscape just shows you one long horizontal page, as if that’s how anyone reads. Every few years, I need to replace my eink reader and I take a look at what’s out there. A companion app where I can pick up my book is essential, and the kobo app remains a millstone around its platform’s neck. It’s a shame, because I — and I’m sure lots of voracious readers — would love to switch from platforms like Amazon’s kindle..Bleep blorpVersion: 9.25
