Good Features, but Lacks the Ability to Highlight Across Pages. The Nook app has some awesome features—like the automatic bookmark feature when you close the app and the ability to customize your text color, background color, and highlight color—but lacks the important feature of being able to highlight across multiple pages. As a reader who uses large font due to my eyesight, being able to highlight a passage across multiple pages is imperative when reading academic books. This is indicative of the highlighting feature being buggy and clunky in general; I often find it difficult to highlight longer passages. If Nook adds this feature and fixes the highlighting, I’ll be more likely to choose it over iBooks and Kindle when buying and reading books and I’m sure other readers would too.

Nook needs app to purchase. I loved my Color Nook and when it finally died after several years of using it I was very excited to learn I could have the app on my tablet and still read all of my collection. However, i found out you can't actually do that and it is actually a very troublesome process to get a bit ok. I do not understand why in the world that a person can't order from the app. It is so aggravating to have to log in one place and order then leave that to go download the books and read them somewhere else. I find myself turning to Kindle more and more because it is a one stop shop. If you want to keep your readers then fix this huge problem.

Absolutely love nook!!. I was always someone who swore I'd never use nook or read on my phone/tablet, because I loved feeling my book and holding it, turning the page, etc. But I'll honestly never go back! Lol! Nook is incredible!! Sooo easy and convenient to use. I eat all the time when I read, & it's soo much easier to just tap my screen to turn a page rather than try and hold my book down and turn a page while I eat and read. I also love how nook prices are so much cheaper than buying an actual, physical book. I love that I can read anywhere, anytime at just the touch of my screen. No bookmark required and I always have my phone on hand. I love it!!! I love how I can see what books are rated high and/or recommended for me. I honestly can't say enough good things about nook!!! Love it love it love it!!! The app is amazing!! 👍🏻 👌🏻 💞 🌟 ✨ 💖☺️🙏🏻😍🥰💝🤗😚💓

Nook App NOT WORKING. So I noticed this past Saturday morning, my nook app kept saying it wasn’t connected to the Internet. I checked my Internet and called Xfinity and have them restart my Internet, which my Internet is working absolutely fine to all the devices in my house, plus it’s working for everything else on my iPad except nook app. I called NOOK customer service who then told me that there was some bug issues they were trying to FedEx and I should be ready 14 to 24 hours. I called them again tonight, around six, and they went on to tell me that they are still resolving trying to figure out this bug issue, and to give them another 24 to 48 hours. What has me very upset is I thought maybe I needed to restart my iPad entirely and log out of my NOOK app and log back in thinking that’s the way it would get updated or whatever. I logged back into my NOOK which now all 600 whatever plus books are now disappeared, it’s still saying not connected to Internet, and I am mad because all 600 books are gone. A lot of money has been spent into my nook app/NOOK tablet I am giving another 48 hours for not to resolve this problem. My next call will be speaking with the manager because I can only think of 2 solutions to this problem.

Very poor customer service. Buyer beware. So after who knows how many years of using the nook app, i can tell you i have downloaded 411 nook books from Barnes and Noble i finally got royally scr**** . I ordered a new book and it got stuck in permanent processing. Called customer support and was told their system was undergoing maintenance. Very well, i asked them to cancel my order. Was told they couldn’t as the order was “ already in processing” i stated the obvious, “how can it be in process if the system is undergoing maintenance”? They also couldn’t specify how long the maintenance would last. So, the upshot is i could have my nook book in 10 minutes, or 10 days, OR i could roll out to my local B&N which is 20 mins away and buy the paperback at the same price. Kind of defeats the online purpose i feel. I would have thought i could have gotten a pop up warning about the maintenance and my order could take longer than normal but I guess we all know why THAT didn’t actually happen.

Search not working. Wont let me search for a book/author not sure if it’s a bug with the program or what but it just started. I was able to search not even an hour or two ago. Still great app love the convenience. Not working on iPad or mobile. I have been using this app for a while now and recently today I’ve had problems using the search bar on both my iPad and Mobile. I tried everything I could think of and thought the best thing to do was delete it off one device. I deleted it from my mobile device and re downloaded the app. Upon login I couldn’t view any of my books. When I tried going to the website it said I didn’t have any there either. Upon looking on my iPad I did have all the books still on that device Only. I’m unsure if this is a glitch or bug or anything but I like having the app on both devices because, obviously, I do not always carry my iPad with me. I would very much appreciate it if these issues could be looked at. It is also no longer appearing online when I log in there I have no idea what happened but nothing is on my devices and Ik I have purchased multiple books with barns and noble I can’t get any help fixing this problem I am over seas and can not call nor do I have access to get help from them. The only proof I have that I got these books are on my iPad.

Above and Beyond. I tried this app out of desperation. I have my own ebooks on iPhone X but reader apps are poorly designed and leave tons of unused space around margins. Not so with the book app. It hits the sweet spot for customization and doesn’t make you pay to change font color. You can fully theme your pages to your heart’s content not just preselected colors like in kindle app. And lastly the best part is that I can load my own books into this app to read. I don’t care for kindle or nook shopping service but just because nook supports bringing your own books, I will take a look at their shop and consider purchasing from them in the future. TLDR: leagues above the kindle app and other e-readers. Well done.

Much better than kindle. I have been reading books on this app for years. I love finding a nice long series to get into. Just finishing up the jack reacher series by Lee Child. It’s OUTSTANDING! I like the way the pages turn like a real book. I also love instant access to a dictionary and web searches. I learn so much more from a book when I look up words that I don’t completely understand, or find the correct pronunciation for them. My son is an author, and his books have only been on kindle so far. That’s the only reason why I have it on my iPad. I started with Nook on my iPod touch! Many years ago, and I’ve always preferred it. I also still love going to my local Barnes and Nobles store. They have the best stationery items I’ve ever seen. Thanks for keeping up with stuff yet still operating like good old Nook!

So-called Improvements. I enjoy reading on Nook, but really dislike a couple of the "improvements" that came with the upgrades. The first was a change in the dictionary feature - one can no longer modify a word to look up another, and the second, and much more aggravating, is the change in locating archived books. One used to be able to access all the archived books by simply changing the drop down box in the library to "archive", and there they all were. Now, supposedly, you touch "all titles", then "recent", then "filter" under that, but on my iPad, this does not do anything helpful. It merely gives you recently archived books. It certainly does not give you your entire archived library. I fail to understand why it seems that most upgrades in technology must then become less user friendly and require more step to get what was once easily available. "Irritating" is an understatement!

Getting better but still needs work. When I started this review, I was more glad (see next paragraph) than I am now. Every update seems to decrease function and, today, no txt appears for any book I open. I may be finished trying to make it work. Sorry I recently purchased several new titles! Glad to have Nook on my iPad but wish maneuvering through the app wasn't so clunky. Not close to ease of Nook device but still better than earlier version. Why the app can't let you purchase but the device can is unfathomable. Other reviewers have mentioned the inconsistent sync function which appears to have gotten worse: why can't you fix this? Your tech support doesn't take the time to read the question being asked and makes useless, futile suggestions. Had thought I wouldn't change because I have too many titles to use different one, today's experience may have convinced me to move on. My final comment relates to the inability to utilize coupons for Nook purchases. The price fixing on e-books is a disgrace. The only advantage is portability and it does not outweigh the cost differential and the inability to lend any book I own to anyone I wish. Technology has bypassed common sense again!!

Alright performance, gets the job done.. I used to have a Nook, but abandoned it after I saw that the App Store's nook app is better than the Nook itself. There's not as much lagging with page turn animations, it's more stable, the different color schemes look better, overall it's just better. Now I've also tried the Kindle app, and what really sells me on the Nook is the book stacking feature. I own Piers Anthony's series "Xanth" which is currently 34 books and running, and it definitely helps to have all those Xanth books in an automatic collapsable folder. Now some book series are filed under slightly different series names so you have a series split into 2 folders, but I see less and less of them with each update. Unless you're designing your own ebook reading app, I believe Nook is the best out there. 2019 update: Overall impressions unchanged. Nook has continued with quality of life and stability updates while Kindle on iOS lags behind. Series breaking greatly reduced. I don’t believe any in my current library suffer this issue. Kindle is no longer an option for me, even with Amazon’s occasional sales.

:(. I had to buy an E-Book through barnes and Nobel for school. WHICH can only be found through barnes and Nobel (I looked everywhere without pirating) which at first I did not mind. But. On top with only being able to find the book on barnes and Nobel. I was also forced to use this god forsaken app. The first thing I did was try to figure out how i can use the app. But the features are limited. It’s like they intentionally made it as difficult as possible to even enjoy the app. First of all. God forbid you try adjusting the text size because it’ll put your book in a blender and won’t be able to understand where anything is at. 2nd. Good luck finding a specific page. Bc both iPad and phone version won’t let you turn pages until at least 7 seconds passes between page turn. And the page finder is way to slow to even use that functionally. There are so many features missing compared standard industry practices like kindle or even just having a pdf version. Like being able to write and take notes on the page. Can’t do that. Or even highlighting properly. What I’m getting at. Is this entire app has ruined me so much so. That is just down right disrespectful. How a million dollar company like B&N would even agree to partner with nook or even call this passable platform to handle E-Books. I might as well pirates a PDF bc at least a PDF I can take proper notes on and it won’t completely hinder my ability to conduct my school work.

Since last update it’s buggy. I’ve been reading with the iPad app for Nook for several years. It just keeps improving — with the exception of the last update. There’s definitely a bug. I saw a similar review about the Nook failing to keep the last page read and returning to an earlier position. I have had that problem also. Then the other thing is as I open the app, several times the book fails to open and I’m told to restart my device. Actually, I have to close the app and reopen it and then it will be fine. But this is a consistent problem. Not a huge issue, but still annoying. All in all, though, the Nook app is definitely the best book-reading app out there. Hopefully, the developers will correct these latest bugs soon!

Some frustration. I’ve been using this app for a long time, owning the first nook tablet that was put out. It has saved me from carrying multiple books while I travel, allows me to enlarge print while riding in moving vehicles (saving me from motion sickness), and the ability to change background colors alleviates eye strain. Lately there has been an issue. When I “turn pages” the app doesn’t always respond - often freezes or shows a blank page. To move on I have to close out of the app, open a different app, and the return to nook. This works, but I have to repeat the process every few pages It’s very frustrating!

APP Support needs improvement. I have had few problems with the app and I am relatively sure the they are acting on crashes that generate dump data but when I run into non-crash problems: there have been two recently (1) portion of text after end line hyphenation not displaying for certain font sizes, and (2) app freeze to an unresponsive colored screen that I had to reload the app to clear, the responses I get from support are canned. Yes, for most users it might be what they need to clear the problem but I already said I fixed the problem. I am giving information about the problem, for (1) how the app developers can reproduce it, and for (2) everything I tried and failed to clear the problem and as much information about the circumstances and behavior I can gleam. I have been a software engineer longer than probably any of the app developers have been alive and I know the importance of information rather than a simple it's broke or doesn't work. However, I do not get any feeling that my support e-mails are leading to to any bug investigation or fixes.

Great app. Love the app but could you please create a Category sort for my library? I’ve been building my collection since launch of the original Nook and own over 2,000 titles. This should be doable because books are automatically categorized when added to the BN store database. What I would like to see is that if you tap category sort, it would automatically sort books starting by broad category like history. Tap on history and select deep dive and sort by European history, US history, then revolutionary war, civil war. Readers with smaller collections would be happy with a broad view like all history, all travel etc. grouped together. For those of us who want a more granular sort, enable the deep dive option.

Keeps Crashing (Update). I don’t know what happened. The app was working fine yesterday, but I’ve tried opening it on my phone and iPad, and it keeps crashing. Deleted, downloaded again, restarted devices, and it still didn’t work. A couple UE things: 1. I think it’d be really beneficial to be able to purchase books from the app, at least specifically for the Nook. It’s annoying to have to go online when it’d be more convenient on the app. Plus, the B&N app isn’t great either. 2. The highlighting feature could be better. I’ve tried playing with the dictionary, and wanted to look up random words, but I couldn’t get the highlighter to work properly. I DO LIKE that viewing options are fairly customizable. Makes reading a bit more fun and personal to the user. I love B&N, so I want to keep the Nook app; just gotta fix a couple things or it to be great. Everything said above was a problem about 2 weeks ago. Tried opening the app to see if the crashing problem was fixed just now, and sure enough it was!... until the app logged me out, erased my library once I was able to log back in, and then started crashing all over again. Could’ve sworn “fixing bugs” includes no crashing. Plus, my digital library disappeared. Not a happy camper.

HATE the changes.. The layout is overly complicated and annoying. The app deletes books from the device without permission. The “recent reads” are books I read three years ago and I have to dig for the actual book I am reading every time. Detail vs cover view does not toggle for the library list, only for shelves which I consider a waste of time and don’t use. The registered devices no longer show up on my account on the site either. It has become annoying enough that I have been using Kindle more and more, and the only books I have gotten through B&N in ages were from gift certificates people gave me. Also, downloads take forever. Kindle books, even illustrated ones, are ready to go in under a minute, usually in fifteen seconds or less. This thing is taking two to five per book, occasionally longer. Is it because it is updating all those stupid preview samples in the store first? It sounds silly, but when you are in a hurry to leave and the app has taken all the books off yet again, it adds to the frustration considerably to have to stand there and wait for the download to finish. If I could get the books I own from b&n into the kindle app I would pitch the nook app for good.

Don’t try to buy e-books through the app!. I have had this app on my iPad for several years, with no problems at all. Now all of my books have disappeared, and the new books I just purchased will not download, but I have been charged for them. Spent an hour on hold with B&N only to be told to just keep refreshing my library! This has been going on since last Thursday, October 22, 2020! Still no books, not the more than 100 books I already had in my library nor the new purchases. And no one can say if it will be days, weeks, or months before the problem is resolved. Very poor customer service!

Adding Two Crucial Features Would Make This App Five Stars. I like the Nook app, but I feel adding two features would make it excellent. The first is adding dark mode, which I’m sure has been requested plenty of times. The second is allowing for continuous spoken content across pages when using an iphone, rather than stopping at the end of the page as it currently does. For books that don’t have audiobook versions, this as an extremely useful feature that allows for hands free reading while doing other activities. I try to support Barnes & Noble as much as possible, but the lack of this last feature is unfortunately pushing me to purchase ebooks from either kindle or ibooks, which both allow for continuous spoken content across multiple pages.

Notify your customers. I actually like the nook app a lot, being able to download it do my iPad and I can take my library with me without taking along another device. Today I purchased a new book and was super excited to read it this weekend. The problem is that the system crashed that handles nook books and syncing, I much like I’m sure everyone else had no idea of this issue and when my new book was not showing up in my library I did what most people would do. Restart the app, restart the device, check for an update and then reinstall the app. So now I’m stuck without any of my books, with no idea when the service will be working again. No mention of this issue or what is being done to fix it on any social media, email, notice on the B&N website or anything other than one obscure article on the internet by a third party. Thanks B&N for the communication. If I didn’t have so much invested in this I would happily jump ship for a different option, I still might.

A small quibble. I’ve owned a Nook Color since they first came out, then continued to read on my iPad when it’s battery stopped taking a charge. I now also own a Nook Paperwhite and the problem I have with the device and the app is font size. On my iPad Pro, I can’t get the font size to increase as much as I need for my poor eyesight and on the Paperwhite, the largest font size is so big it seems only a few words fit on the screen, while the next size down isn’t quite large enough. I didn’t have this problem with my original Nook device and seem to remember being able to increase the font size further on the Nook app before it was last updated. This is why I read ebooks nowadays—because the print size on everything else, from books to magazines, is too small. It would be wonderful if an intermediate font size could be provided for the Paperwhite and the ability to further increase font size in the Nook app.

The contact links. How the heck am I supposed to contact you? I wanted to make a suggestion, found the links and touched “Make a suggestion.” All the links tell me “this device is not configured for email.” What? Is it because the email I use is gmail (set in the device settings as my default) rather than the default Apple email? I wanted to suggest that when I was browsing your bookstore, as typical, it made suggestions based on my reading history. One sounded interesting but when I touched it, I saw it was the 8th in a series. I wanted to find the 1st one and thought I could touch either the author’s name or the series name and they would link me to the author’s other works, like I can in other apps, but they aren’t links. They should be.

Cookbook Conspiracy. Another one of Kate Carlisle’s awesome Brooklyn Wainwright mysteries read and loved! Brooklyn has become one of my favorite sleuthing characters! Not only does the author write about great mysteries but she also manages to capture my attention concerning book binding. I love books! I am intrigued by the whole process of what actually happens in the book making and restoring process. I have never felt the urge to try to find first editions but after reading these books I may just try. I love Brooklyn’s family and friends. I also like the fact these mysteries include them. Savannah seems like a wonderful wacky sister who truly loves Brooklyn. Too bad her “Dalton” returned to England. Hopefully he will be back. I loved this storyline about the chefs and all of the most enticing food descriptions! I believe I gained 5 pounds just reading them! Kudos to Kate Carlisle for another successful Brooklyn Wainwright mystery!

Barnes and Nobel Nook. What I enjoy most about this Nook is how easy it is to use. Ordering books is so simple.i just do a search and press the purchase button. No fumbling to find my password or credit card. I also love my Nook library and how I can assign my books and magazines to shelves for easy organization. I can regularly see deals and special sales, new releases and more at my leisure. Pictures are crisp, download speed is good and the price is right, compared to an Ipad. The screen is a little more delicate than an Ipad would be, so I make sure I use a protective cover and don,t abuse it. I get all of the apps and browsing I would with another device. This is the largest of the Nooks with the highest storage capacity. . I don’t recall the model number. But I love it. Even more than my Ipad, which was a gift.

No app dark mode.. It lets you to customise the colours of the reader, unlike most other readers including Apple Books, but the app itself has no dark theme, so the dictionary that appears when a word is selected is bright light that scorches my eyes. For god’s sake, how come a major app in 2022 has no dark mode? Secondly, there seems no option to customise the font size of the dictionary slide, which makes it difficult to read. Thirdly, the app has a stupid bug to be hard-coded to use the Mails app. I have installed the Gmail app and deleted the stock Mails app (of course, Gmail is set as the default mail app). In this app’s feedback page, if I click report bug, it says that the device is not configured send email and I need to configure it in the Mails app. Why not use the default mail app, which is Gmail?

My account can’t be verified. After 8 years of having a Nook account, first on an actual Nook device, then on my iPad, I can no longer download or read any of my books. I get an error message that states that my account can’t be verified. This has been going on for at least a month. I’ve sent feedback at least 3 times over that period. They finally responded with information that is not helpful at all for the problem I’m having. If they’re going to wait so long to respond, the least they can do is send information that makes sense. All I was told was to update the app, but there’s no update available or to refresh the app, but when I tried that, the refresh button or whatever it is called does not appear. I’m sure the person reading this will just assume I’m being a “Karen”, but I’ve been having trouble with Barnes & noble for over a year now, in addition to this. I’ve sought help numerous times & dont receive a response or get a reply giving generic advice that doesn’t seem to apply to the problem.

Love Nook. I absolutely love this app. The fact that you can get thousands of free books is awesome. I’m a senior citizen and having the free books on a multitude of subjects and by a multitude of authors is truly a godsend. Unlike Kindle, which makes you buy their Kindle unlimited for $9.99 per month for the same thing. Again, thanks for making great books free. UPDATE: now you only get 2 stars. We can no longer purchase books via the app and have to go to the website to purchase books. Pretty annoying. Also on the website, there is no indication that you already purchased a book when you list them by author or subject. Very inconvenient to have to click on it for details, then when you add it to your cart, you get the message that you already purchased it. Please fix that…I never had problems when I purchased books through the app. Waste of time!

Having trouble reading a book bundle. I usually use Kindle to read, but Barnes and Noble had amazing online deals for ebooks, so i got a regular ebook and a book bundle. The regular book reads just fine, but the bundle is messing me up. If I tap on the book bundle to read it, I’m not sure if it’s freezing or not loading properly, but I can’t change pages or return to the library. Usually, if I would close my app then open it, I would be returned to the library, but recently it stays in the book so I can’t reach the library. I have tried resetting my device, archiving the redownloading the book, deleting and reinstalling the app, etc. The book works just fine on my mobile browser so I know it isn’t an issue with the book bundle itself, but it won’t work on my phone or iPad and I can’t report it as a bug now, because I can’t do anything in the app.

No to nook. I have a been a customer of nook for years and have downloaded hundreds of dollars of cookbooks and other books that I love because I am older it is easier for me— in December 20 21 you did an update which screwed up everything I can no longer access my library or any of my books I paid for I feel like they have been stolen from me I don’t understand when they do an update it always seems to make things worse I am so done with updates because they don’t seem to know what they’re doing I want my books back that I paid for my hundreds of dollars of books I’ve lost and can’t find..wow nook..I am so disappointed in you for ripping off people I do not recommend nook to anybody unless They can get techs that know what there doing and can figure out how to do their process the right way and not steal everybody’s books back that we paid for..

Love the app but for one thing. I love the nook app I can read all my favorite authors when I want where I want as long as I have my phone!!! My only issue is that when I’m trying to group books that apart of the same series once you’ve reached your allotted regrouping number your not allow this bugs me because there are times when I purchase books they don’t always go into the already grouped series group and when you go to group sometimes you get a message that says the Nook team will look into the matter you sent us your concern about the next time the app updates well I don’t like this because there are times when the app doesn’t update so you have about 11 books that belonged grouped together but I have to wait until the new update comes out! But besides this I love this app and enjoy reading all the hundreds of books I have saved onto my account!!!

Love the app but with one caveat. I’ve been a Nook customer for about nine years, first with the original Nook reader, then a Nook Simple Touch, and now as an app on my iPhone. I simply love it in all of its forms. The only complaint I have is with the latest update on my iPhone. In previous versions the capability existed to look up a definition for any word you wanted, not just one highlighted from the text you were reading. You simply highlighted a random word and then changed the it in the definition to whatever you wanted. That feature seems to have disappeared. You can still look up a word from the text but you can no longer change it to find the definition of another word. This was one of the features I enjoyed the most and would really like to have returned in a (hopefully quickly developed) future update.

Great app. Saves so much space in my house and on my bookshelf. It’s lighter (in weight) and more convenient to read than a hard cover thousand page book. The ability to look up almost every single word just by tapping it is easier than locating a dictionary and something paper books can’t do. My only small criticism is that I can’t buy all the books sold in Barnes and Nobles regularly (including the exclusive ones only sold by Barnes and Nobles), and specific hobby or craft books sold all over the place. I think the available titles that you can choose from needs to be expanded more; but, there still is a huge selection of books to pick from, probably more than any bookstore!

Frustrating, riddled with bugs, counterintuitive. I used to love my nook app - it was easy to use for all ages. There have been so many unnecessary changes rolled out so poorly that no one in the family wants to use their nooks because the app keeps changing, is counterintuitive, and frustrating - they’ve all downloaded kindle instead, and have asked me to simply buy paper books. Problems include: I can’t sort my archive - while it appears as an option in another family member’s profile, my profile does not have that option. With more than 400 books in my archive, it’s extremely difficult to find the books I want to read. Even if I know the author and exact title, the search function does not call up books we know are in the archive - they appear when I scroll through the archive, but not in search. Additionally, here’s the most ironic bug: the send feedback/report a bug feature doesn’t work - you can type, but the “send” button is grayed out and unavailable. Every time there’s an update I have to spend several hours scouring the FAQs to see if they took away functions or if we’re just seeing a bug, then analyze whose profile and account works correctly, then try it figure out why some family members have x function but others don’t. EVERY update at least one family member’s account or profile has a bug; and now, to even report the sorting bug, I had to go into one of my kids’ profiles since I couldn’t!

Overall good, but there is an issue with images. After a few days of using it, looks like the app has everything it needs, in general. Now about issues. Minus one star for an issue with images. Images seems to be incorrectly resized - look slightly distorted, aren’t smooth and sharp as they should be. Images from the same book look much better on Nook Web (My device is iPad, fyi). Please fix it. There are a few minor yet annoying issues. 1) Every time on reopening the app, it is kinda reloading something and showing a progress wheel. Doesn’t make any sense but annoys. 2) Current chapter should always be displayed when reading. Now I can see only book title, current page and total number of pages.

Love nook on Samsung device but HATE the apple version. I'm sorry and this says more about apple products than anything else. Everything is very user friendly and harmonious with my samsung devices (note I said devices, as in more than one) but anything I try to do with my apple products is apparently protected by the CIA and NASA. At one point I was even questioning my own existence and security trying to log into my own account. Thinking to myself, "It's me right, that's my name and password." Then after a fingerprint, my password, a hair sample and my second born later, I still can't open the book I paid for (over 5 years ago, yes I'm a re-reader) and am trying to retrieve from the archive 30 minutes later. But if I log onto my phone or computer (not apple products) I can do so and then update my apple device to read my book.

Butchered App. This used to be a really good app until they removed the ability to purchase ebooks from it in a childish protest effort to avoid Apple/Android fees. Now you have to add each book you’ve downloaded as a sample to your wishlist (which means you also have to make an account) in order to know how much it is or decide whether you even want to buy the thing. Except, once the sample is downloaded, any option to add the book to your wishlist have evaporated, and now you’re stuck looking back and forth between computer and tablet where the app is installed while you plug in the isbn into the web search field. Golly, that’s a lot of work, and it already has me wondering whether I should use the Apple app for books. Way to shoot yourself in the foot, B&N, good job.

I want to buy ebooks from Barnes & Noble…. I really do, but they don’t make it easy. I found a book in the app, but then have to jump to the website to buy. This is normal for iphone apps, but B&N delivers extra pain. I find the book on the website, add it to the cart, and checkout. Now I have to sign in, bu my password has expired, so I have to change it. This requires an email exchange. I open the link in the email, and change my password. Finally I can checkout again. Oops the new password didn’t get saved for some reason. Try again. 10 minutes later I finally have the book. Suggestion: if security is important enough to require r regular password changes it’s important enough to implement two factor authentication.

Losing all my books. I am absolutely sick and tired of the Nook app suddenly deciding I am running a little too low on disk space for its own comfort (2.26 GB available) and removing the books from my device and making me download them again. STUPID. No other app does this to me. So, on multiple occasions, I open my Nook app because I’m in the middle of no where (meaning “NO INTERNET ACCESS”) and low & behold ... all my books are gone. My books are the most important item on my iPad ... more than my music, movies, etc. I sure wish Barnes & Noble agreed with me, but obviously not. Nook really, really needs a switch where I can select “NEVER REMOVE A BOOK FROM THIS DEVICE WITHOUT MY EXPLICIT PERMISSION. I AM AN ADULT AND FULLY AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF MY DECISION.” If this is something Apple forced on you, that would be good to know too. Please get this fixed. I’m tired of lugging around a semi-useful paper weight when I’m traveling in remote areas. BTW, it’s also a pain to keep re-downloading my books over and over.

Good app. This is a good, but not yet great app. Sorting books well is not yet available. Most of the time seeing the full title or information like the number the title is in a series does not show fully. I can't see an easy way to put titles I have read in one area and unread titles in another location. As I said, just good. My Nook broke about two months ago. Trying to decide if I can live with just reading on m iPad Mini. Fonts are good. Color covers look great. As a former librarian, I need much more sorting power. This app is too simple to make me really happy. I also wish I could buy book through the app. Annoying to have to back out of the app to make purchases.

Nook app is great. I have had the B&N nook app for my iPhone 6 and iPad Mini 2 for a long time, and these days I do most of my reading, both books and magazines, using this app. All the ebooks I purchase from Barnes and Noble appear almost instantly in the nook app, and it is very easy to create shelves to organize the books in your library. Barnes and Noble has done a great job in adapting their business to the Internet. Using their app on my iPhone 6, I literally have my library in the 'palm of my hand' and can read anywhere. Well done, Barnes and Noble. I now have an iPhone 12 and I am still adding ebooks to my library in the Barnes and Noble Nook app. Who would have dreamed, not long ago, that we would be able to carry a library of our favorite books with us on our iPhone. My above comment still applies: Well done, Barnes and Noble.

Not happy with the new update!. Before the update you could see the cover of all the books you had available to read in your library. Now you have to scroll through either by author or title and click on each to see them. Of course you can see recent ones that way, but I want to see all my books like it was before. Plus I have to do this with all my archived books also which takes forever if you can’t remember who wrote it or the exact title. I do not understand why they had to change that aspect of the app. Bring that option back, please!! Ok, they let me know I could view them that way by title or most recent, which is good, but why take away the choice by author? For those of us that read a lot this seems like a crazy change to make, this is a reading app after all, anything available in title should be available in author also(the same format). So, still no 5 stars because of that. Don’t understand why you changed that option:( Thank you for listening and adding back the choice to search by author or title with the book cover. I am very happy!! You get your 5 stars back:)

I like it fine. Overall, I am happy with the app. I don’t have a Nook, and since I cannot buy directly from the Kindle App, I use this one. The prices are fair. I have two complaints. The first is the the formatting is a little wonky at the top of the page. The first line of text is often imposed on top of the header section. It doesn’t make it impossible to read, but it is annoying. The second complaint is that the app doesn’t have an easy way to access bookmarks. I have had times when the app has closed and won’t open immediately to my last bookmark. I have to think back to the last chapter I remember seeing a number or title for and then scroll to find my bookmark. It would be nice if there was a option in the task bar of seeing a list of the bookmarks that had been placed or some quick way of accessing that information.

Love my nook. I've had my nook for years. I found taking hard covers places difficult due to size and weight. I don't have a problem with the hyphenation or wrapping of text since I u sweats s that different font sizes will place differently in the viewing page. One suggestion to display by author is a good one since sometimes it alphabetizes by 'The'. For people who can't remember what they've read, they can try archiving books once finished. They are available to unarchive if they want. Keeps the volume down. The fact that I also have the app on my iPhone and tablet allows me to read anywhere. You can also archive a book from your phone or tablet. One suggestion I would offer is Xcode the reader to be able to group 'like' books together while still grouping by author, i.e. Mystery vs Horror vs Self Help vs Health, etc. I would recommend nook for everyone.

My Nook. I have always been an avid reader. I used to keep the library in business. I got ,pay first reader, the first generation Nook, which I read for years. I switched to an I-Pad about 8 years ago. Just got a new one this year. It is wonderful to read on, and you can have many books waiting to read, especially on vacation. Easy to carry, and versatile too! Love the variety of book services available on it (I have 3 so far). With the ability to read anytime, and different fonts, sizes and amount of brightness it is a pure pleasure! Looking forward to many mores years of satisfying read!

A good reader, but not flawless. While I have had my Nook reader for several years now, I generally read on my iPad (iOS 14.6) which I use for many tasks. Lately, I have noticed some quirks in the Reader such as: 1) Turning a page to find the next page to be a previous page that I read several minutes ago. The following pages all repeat in order until…once again, the whole section of pages continues to repeat. If I continue to advance forward (hoping to arrive at the next page where I had departed from) the section of pages just continue to repeat. I don’t know if this is a problem with this book I am reading or the Reader, or the link to the B&N Website.(???) 2) Sometimes my attempt to turn a page will not work. I have made several following attempts immediately following, but have discovered the page will only turn after I have paused my attempts approximately 15-20 seconds. (again..???) These events have not been regular or predictable. I also have a newer model iPad and have high-speed wifi with good coverage around my home.

Got to Love It!. I enjoy reading on my nook. It’s made life easy and my books are always on hand. I’m always buying books and rereading those that I really enjoy and also love the fact that I can archive to save storage. I adjust the brightness and the font to what I can read, which you can not do with a hardcover book. I look forward to any and all improvements that are in the future for nook. Something to work on, is I bought a cook book and have to go through everything to get to recipes. Maybe I’m not using the application to the fullest and don’t want to order anymore cook books.🙃 If you have any suggestions, I’m open to them. Thank you for allowing my feed back. Nooks the best!😍 Concetta

Will Not Keep My Place. I like Barnes and Noble. I’ve been a faithful customer for twenty five years. And I used to like the Nook App. But this new version is frustrating to the point of not being worth using anymore. Since the update, the app doesn’t keep my place in the book I’m reading. It freezes on one page in a book and returns to that page every time, no matter how far past the page I’ve read. If I turn the iPad, instead of changing orientation to landscape or portrait, it take me back to the page it’s stuck on. If I close the app or go to the library, when I return to the book it takes me back to the page. At this point I have to write down the page number to search for it or scroll for some time until I get to where I left off. I tried bookmarking the page, but it also clears the bookmark whenever I turn the iPad or get out of the book. It also isn’t syncing across devices. The updated app was supposed to make reading and keeping your place easier. It does the opposite. Very disappointing.

Good ebook reader for Nook fans, but app has some bugs. If you’re a Barnes and Noble Nook device user, this app is a no-brained, especially if you read graphic novels. For regular books, it has a lot of great background and font color settings, making it one of the more comfortable apps to use. But there are some bugs to note which will affect your experience. First, the app will sometimes reopen your book at the last page instead of your current page. I’ve only seen this with graphic novels, but it happens frequently enough. Also the page flipping sometimes gets stuck if you accidentally touch the screen with two fingers on opposite sides of the screen. The only solution is to kill and relaunch the app, which sometimes leads to the first bug mentioned. Also, the app is supposed to be able to be used to open local EPUB files, but it fails to do so now. It used to do this without issue. Finally, it seems notes don’t always update between nook and iOS devices. That might not be a bug, but it feels that way. One additional suggestion is to introduce scrolling view, like Apple Books. This is great for smaller devices like the iPhone SE, and useful in all devices. All in all, I like the app, but dint love it for the above reasons.

Disastrous nook application and poor support. I find the nook for iPad application to be a disaster. I am a doctoral student (currently working on my dissertation) as well as an adjunct professor. I have approximately 268 books on my iPad via the nook app. Most of the books are extremely crucial for my class room lectures. They also contain valuable information necessary to complete my dissertation. I have been unable to gain access to these books for 3 & 1/2 weeks. I feel so vulnerable and traumatized by the experience. I feel like the poor student whose term paper has been eaten by the dog. However, in this case, the nook application is the dog. I have spent countless hours reaching out to the Barnes and Nobles nook support team with very little success. Students BEWARE!!! and don’t use this application for any important class room assignments.

I’m hooked. I have to admit.....I haven’t read a real, hands-on, hardback or paperback, book since I got my first nook almost 10 yrs ago. And I read everyday. I love having so many books to choose from in my library, on my phone or iPad, wherever I am. My husband is another story....he has an iPad and phone too, and I’ve seen him reading on them now and then, but he still considers himself an old school book reader. Real books. He says it’s not the same when you can’t turn the pages. I say, I TURN THE PAGES ON MY NOOK TOO! Whatever.....he’s on a first name basis with our librarian, and that’s ok too. But I’m hooked on my Nook.

Won’t even let me report a bug. I’ve used this app for years, never had a problem. Recently all my books disappeared off of my iPhone, but not my iPad. I am hoping since this review is so low someone will pay attention and reply to it because normally it is a great app. I have tried logging in and out of my account, syncing my library, turning my phone off and on, updating app and closing app. My books will not reappear on my iPhone. When I went to send a bug report it let me type my message but never gave an option to send the report. I also tried leaving a comment. Again no send. I will gladly change my rating once these issues have been resolved. Again, just hoping customer service will reach out to me after this review, since the app gave me no option to send a bug report...

Buying nook books. I want to be able to purchase nook books through the nook app. Please make this happen. Making me go through safari to do the purchase is ridiculous! It’s not going to make me buy a nook. I’ve already purchased several nooks over the years and love the convenience of purchasing right in the nook store. However you have not improved the nook technology so I no longer want to use my nook. I want to be able to purchase books through this nook app.

So clumsy!. This app is cumbersome! I hate not being able to purchase books within the app. I hate the way the touch controls are set up. It’s a nuisance to get to the “details” (publication information, overview, reviews and price). It’s hard to find books in a series listed in order. It’s a lengthy process to delete samples of books if you decide not to purchase. And the shop doesn’t have filters that correspond to the divisions of genres that you actually use in a bookstore. Having said all that, I actually use my Nook all the time. The format of the pages on the screen is better than the Kindle. And it’s the experience of reading that determines which I use. So, B&N, please fit the app! I have lots I want to read!!!

One of my favorite apps but a new glitch has appeared. I have used the B&N app for years. I tend to buy a lot more books on it than I do the Kindle. I love how I can organize my library into shelves and filter the books for read or shelved. This is my favorite feature and the main reason why I don’t use my kindle app anywhere near as much as my Nook app. However today I was trying to create a new shelf and it kept disappearing after I just created it. This has never happened before. I restarted my tablet twice and it is still happening.

Nook format. Who’s brilliant idea was it to change the format of the nook library. Under the old format, the titles were listed by the book cover and marked whether read or not read. Now there is just a list and each title has to be opened to see if it has been read. I have a couple hundred books in my library accumulated over the last few years, many by the same author and I don’t always remember which ones I have read. So now I have to go thru each listing and open it up to see if I have read it. Even then they all aren’t marked the same as read. And then there was no notice of this change or instructions of how to navigate. So much for user friendly. And to add insult to injury you have to go thru endless nicknames in order to send a review

Changing things without notice. I’m disappointed and upset that you pushed out a change to how my Nook is set up without any warning. If you are going to change things to make them “better”, I would appreciate a heads up and then an explanation as to what you changed. Some of your loyal customers don’t want the new look and it was not better for those of us who bought and enjoyed the Nook the “original “ way. I’m very frustrated and I have no reason to stay loyal to someone who thinks so little of their customers.

Hate the new set up. I had the first Nook and then went on to color and then read nook digital books on my iPad. Couldn’t use nook for couple of years. Got new iPad and started nook digital again. But it’s impossible. Used to be so easy on iPad. Now I can buy ebooks but can’t read em.. every time I bring up a book that I bought for instant read, it wants me to buy again. You’re driving me to Kindle and I can get them easy and read em instantly but they don’t have the ability to do what nook used to do and with ease. I’ve been playing around for hours and days and am about to give up and go to kindle. Your help on the chat room is awful. They know nothing. Tried twice and they know less than I do

Not happy with latest update.. I updated my nook app on 3-25 & have had nothing but problems since. Everytime I finish a book & try to go back to the library and select another book to read it’s throws me completely out of the app & I have to pull the app back up. After doing this for 2 or 3 books it then throws me out & when I get back in the only thing it will let me pull up is the last book read. Of course when I try to go back to library I get thrown out again, go back in, same book again, repeat, repeat, repeat. I have not had any problems with the app or any updates until this one. I have over 1400 books in my library & really really don’t want to have to do something that will cause me to have to download them all again.

Almost there. I actually like the iOS app better than my nook reader for most things. Text is easier to read and the general reading experience is good. The shelf and organizing features could be a little better, but, also, good enough that they’re as good or better than the nook tablet. The ONE thing that frustrates me is the alleged functionality of opening a second window of the app, which doesn’t seem to work. I usually have two books going at the same time and being able to switch between windows would be a really great feature, if it didn’t hang every single time I tried to use it.

Problem in the latest update. I updated my app today and all of a sudden all my books are being copied. Now I have two copies of the same book and when I try to delete one, the other even gets deleted. It was fine before though. How can I fix this ? I really like the app and I have quite the collection of ebooks on it. I don’t want to search for another app just because of a small problem but it’s really confusing with all the copies going around.

Footnotes make for inefficient frustration. My only gripe with this app is the finicky nature of footnotes. Either the screen is too sensitive as I click on the hyperlink number and keeps turning pages back and forth, or it refuses to recognize I’m clicking anything and highlights part of the footnote. Then after a few minutes of persistence when I get to the note, if it continues onto the next page, there is no longer a back button available. And I go through the same exhaustion process trying to get the app to understand I need to go back to the text. It is nearly every time, and it makes reading certain texts wildly frustrating.

Forced to switch to Kindle. I received the Nook GlowLight 3 for Christmas 2 years ago and I loved it. In the past few months my Nook does not connect with the WiFi, not even the WiFi at Barnes and Noble stores. The settings show excellent connection, but when I try downloading books or shopping I get a message that says I’m not connected. I have spoken with 3 different tech support people, none of which have been able to help me. The last one I spoke with and spent an hour with on the phone told me she would email me with instructions in 3 to 5 days. It’s been over a week and I have not received any communication from tech support via email. That’s it I am through with Nook. I hate to break from them, but I have no other choice and I am leery of purchasing another Nook. Kindle here I come.

Unable to open on any of my Apple devices. I started having trouble with the Nook app before the latest iOS update-could not add new books. After the iOS update, even though Nook had an update before then, I am unable to open the App on either my Mini or Pro. “Nook” and the blue screen come up, but it then appears to close before opening. When I look at all the open apps in miniature, it is there, I then manually close it by moving it to the top of the screen & retry. Same result upon trying to reopen. I have done soft and hard resets of my devices and still am unable to use Nook. Anyone else having problems?

The app is either bugged, broken, or no longer supported. I have had the nook app for about 3 weeks now, and for the first week, it was great. I had my full library from my account, as I switched over from my Nook Color eReader, but as soon as the second week hit, my library no longer would allow me to download books. When I deleted the app and reinstalled, my library by itself would no longer sync with my phone, and I have tried to use their online help page, and none of the fixes have worked.

The app won't open on iOS 16.6 <-- Uninstall and Reinstall the app. Update: First I reset my phone numerous times but that didn't work. Then I un-installed and reinstalled the app and now it works. Had to change all my settings again but it works fine now. Original review: After installing the latest "update" I can't open the app on iOS 16.6 on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I tried to open the app to give feedback about not being able to open the book I was reading, but now the app won't open at all, instead it immediately quits as soon as it starts to load.

Missing some functionality. I have been using this app for years but it is missing some basic functionality. I should be able to choose a book and do a download. This is supposed to happen automatically but if it doesn’t there is no way to cause the download to start manually. Also while I can browse the Barnes & Noble website from the app I cannot purchase a new book through it. These should be basic parts off the app that have been overlooked. Also needs a support number added to the help file area.

Needs work. This version of the B&N app has a number of bugs. The basic functionality works well. No problem displaying and navigating the pages, but it has problems displaying annotations in previously read books which defeats the purpose of annotating in the first place. In addition annotations in some books are blacked out, and if you try to view all annotations “across all books” you get stuck in that function and have to restart the app to get out of it. It would also be nice to mark a book as “Completed” without having to page to the very last page in the book. I wish there was a way to revert to the previous version.

Really? Can’t search genre?. Why can I not search genre in free books? I’ve had nook a long time and thought at one time I could. It’s been a few years since I’ve used this app. My Mom haven’t found a way to do it either. There are a ton of Free books, ty authors. But the list is extensive and to time consuming searching for books in the genre I want. I tried search, it will ONLY bring up books we have to pay for! Same with authors! Why can we not choose the genre we want? I hate reading mysteries and there are tons of them in the free book list. My Mom prefers romance only, huh.... way to many books to scroll to find some. If there is a way to pick genre in free books, can someone please tell me how to do this, step by step. The upper top left corner has search choices, but not for genre! Because majority of people prefer to look up books by genre I give this app 2 stars. If there is a way, or if you allow us to search by genre I’d be happy to change to more stars for sure. Who has time to look through so many books all put together. Most people I know prefer a genre / subject to read.

Need to re-download books too often. Lately if I don’t use the app for a while I get an error that the book I was on couldn’t be opened and I have to re-download it. Oftentimes I don’t have WiFi on my iPad which means I can’t read the book. Once I download a book it should be on my iPad until I choose to delete the book or the entire app. Also, I agree that we should be able to purchase books from within the app rather than going to the website. I understand the motivation behind not having that feature though. (Purchases made in the app mean Apple takes 30%, while on the website B&N gets the whole price. The website also allows for more price flexibility than the app.)

Some things to include. I think you should put a genre section for further organization. For example realistic fiction, historical fiction, fiction, non-fiction, true stories, etc. Plus, I think you should do a sort of thing of where you take the books that are new and send a notification or something for the person to see if they like it. Including, a quiz or something to see what kind of books or genre the person using the app likes. Also, to be more specific, I think you should do a more organized way for books of certain ages like 10-12, 50+, etc. And finally, I think you should be more specific with the kinds of books like, Harry Potter, first person, deaf+blind people, etc. I hope you update the app!

Can’t use keyboard arrow keys to turn pages. Every, and I mean EVERY e-reader app I own let’s me page turn via keyboard, simply by using the arrow keys. Except this one. There are no settings to bind keyboard keys for page turning, and if it’s there, but only allows PageUp/PageDown, well, my compact keyboard doesn’t offer them. Full-size keyboards aren’t ergonomic, and they take too much space on the tray table I use at my recliner. I have mobility issues, and my iPad with Nook software is on a goose neck stand attached to an Able Life Universal Tray Table. I use a keyboard on that tray to navigate, since my shoulders are too messed up for me to page turn by reaching up to tap the iPad screen. My extensive Nook ebook library is rendered utterly useless due to this short-sighted, ableist design flaw.

Used to be a decent ereader.. But this app keeps getting more and more annoying with each upgrade. I READ books, for example, I don’t listen to them. I want to know how many pages are in the book, not the app’s estimate of how long it will take me to read it. The bells and whistles are not controllable in settings—and this has always been an issue. Why can’t I turn off what I don’t want? For that matter, why can’t I decide which books I want on my device and have them be there when I want to read them? I can’t count the times when I’m offline and a book I carefully checked as downloaded is no longer there. Please don’t tell me to go and give feedback, because you don’t answer the request or fix the app when I do so.

Decent, but it could be better. I like the app and the concept, however, it would be better if people could purchase directly from the app instead of having to buy a nook or go to the store to get a new book. First of all, this is inconvenient. The closest Barnes and nobles to me is miles away. If I wanted a new book, I would have to travel from queens to Manhattan nearly every day. Second, when a nook becomes old, it becomes weaker and easier to break. I’ve had my nook glow light for around 2 years, and the battery is already dead and the charging port is broken. In order to get new books I would have to buy a new nook. If I could buy books from the app, it would definitely be 5 stars

Add Buy Book Function. Nook needs to add the ability to buy books through this app. B&N would sell a lot more books this way. Much easier and more convenient. Also would be nice if the Nook App would indicate what books are unread (New) and what books are read. This is a feature on the actual nook that I love. Actual nook also moved all books that you've read to the bottom of the list and left the unread books on top. All the newly downloaded books on the actual nook were marked as NEW books and stayed marked that way till the books were opened and read. That way, you knew if you've read the book or not. Pretty handy feature when you have over a 1000 books in your library. Nook App doesn't do that.

Not connecting to internet. It keep telling me there is no internet connection. Every other app on my device has no problem connecting to internet. Now it won even let me see any books in my account. All my books just disappeared. I emailed support and it was not help at all. I logout and login again and all my books disappeared. I can not access my library at all. I deleted the app and downloaded again. Still not connecting to library and not syncing. Is hundreds of books that I paid for and now have not access to. Not even on their website. Customer service is useless I just recovered part of my library. Hundreds of books still missing. I hey are just not in my library. Barnes&noble is even letting me add books to my card that disappeared from my library. Do they expect me to pay again.

Took a downturn. I need to be able to purchase books in-app. It’s too tedious to ping-pong back and forth between the app and the website. Not to mention that the page keeps refreshing itself and freezing!! Also, HELLO?? ——>“I friggin' love this app! It lets you change the setup of your library, what books you want IN your library at any given time (so long as you have Internet, anyway) It lets you change the font size, color, and style, and it keeps all your books in neat little piles of book series! Definitely better than iBook in my experience :)” What the hell is this BS?! Why is it auto-filled out?! DON’T EVER PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH. EVER.

Improving Nook. The nook app keeps improving as I have had nook since early inception. The nook is easier to handle while reading, is backlit so can read in poor lighting, the regular unit not tablet can read outdoors. I have hundreds of books so nook is compact for book storage. B&N allows sampling ahead of purchase which is a terrific way to try a different type of book before purchase, hence flexibility and experiences. I am glad I bought the nook since I still go to B&N to browse books and order on line immediately which is a huge convenience.

Best Friend- My Nook. I’ve been using Nook software for many years now - and can’t say enough good things about its ease of use, ease of having my library with me with a tap of a finger, and ease of using additional tools in the app (highlighting, note taking, bookmarking …) Before I retired, I traveled across the USA- and many times ended my book without another one to start. After I started using the Nook app- that never happened again. So even after midnight I could be reading a new book with a few taps on my iPad. Highly recommended!

Problems. I have been enjoying my Nook and more recently on my iPad. Recently I have been dealing with several issues. 1. I turn the page. It goes back several pages instead of going forward. I have to keep repeating several times before it corrects itself. 2. I turn the page and it is blank. When page shows up it has advanced several pages. Again I have to keep playing with it until it corrects itself. It is annoying and frustrating.

Nook is my favorite. I LOVE nook and the nook app! It is the original the OG, original goods, and still great in electronic and hard copy books, magazines and audio books!!! There are many options to use as a part of your reading experience in how the pages, font type, color and size, and look in layout and color of the pages, plus 100s if not more choices of free books at the request of the author, as well as summaries and samples to enjoy, and the grouping of series, of author’s books and other similar books one might enjoy. They also list books according to genre and possible age & gender interests!

A great way to read on a number of devices. Have read many nook books and have been almost 100 percent satisfied. A slight glitch in text was rare and never subtracted from the content. I read from either my iPhone or iPad and where I left on one, I picked up right where I left off on the other device. I don't know how they keep track on where I stop on one device - somewhat of a bitter sweet that my reading is somehow tracked in a computer somewhere but the convenience offsets the concern. Overall, an excellent app that is easy to use and certainly convenient when different devices are used.

Dark Money. After I read this book so many things started to make sense about our disturbing political landscape and the unseen hands affecting all of our lives. You cannot understand the big picture until you have all the pieces of the puzzle and this extremely well researched book by the highly respected investigative journalist, Jane Meyer answers a lot of questions. I recommend this book to all thinking people who want to make things better, and fervently hope, that people will read it immediately.

Like....do you want to make money ....or...?. I do not understand why you are unable to purchase e-books off of this app. You have to go to the Barnes and nobles store website to buy books for the app... it's extra work and people will abandon this for Kindle which lets you just buy it as you see it. A lot of buying has to do with impulse so you're sort of making people think "ehhh do i really want it" if they have to go the extra mile to go off the app, load up to the normal site and go searching for the book again and logging in there, etc. This is a terrible strategy B&N!!! The rest of the app is fine, no complaints...but come on. Let me buy books from the app or at least send me to a direct link to the website!!

Update missing a few features. What happened to prices on nookbooks within the app? I understand that I cannot purchase them, but it was helpful to see the price. Why is it that each update seems to make the app worse than the previous one? Originally this was a great app, but the last several updates has taken away features without adding anything truly useful. I hope you add the prices back to it. I am using an iOS device and again I am aware that I cannot purchase books through it. However, I like to see the price before I go to the web and purchase it.

LOVE IT. i have to say that this is by far one of the best reading apps i have found. i just have one problem... it says there is over a million free books or something like that, but when i go to the free book section, i eventually scroll all the way to the bottom and find myself upset due to the fact i don’t see as many books as promised. i’m not sure if maybe it’s just a bug, or if i’d have to go to the website to fully view all of the free books, but i don’t mind. i still am happy with my selection. anyways, this is a great app and you should definitely buy it if you enjoy reading!

Nook App limitation. I love my Nook and also being able to read my books on my iPhone or iPad using the Nook app. BUT, not being able to purchase new books via the Nook app on my Apple products is VERY inconvenient. The power cord on my Nook eReader broke. Barnes and Noble no longer sells the cord. I have tried several aftermarket plugs, but haven’t found one that works, so my Nook is currently useless. While I can access the hundred or so books in my Nook library of purchased books via my Apple products, I cannot purchase new books. This limitation prevents me from continuing my longstanding purchasing relationship with Barnes and Noble. A loss for us both, and potentially costly mistake on Barnes and Noble’s part because I’m sure I’m not the only Nook owner to experience this issue.

Cant read my books from my original device.. Hello, I was given a nook a few years back and it broke over a year ago. But I was able to access my books online. However a few days ago I was no longer able to do so. I had over 50 books on my nook maybe even over 100 and now they are all gone. Some of those books I paid for and others were free but now I have none. I emailed through the app and have yet to receive a response so I am reaching through here because I want my books back. Please reach out to me as soon as possible. If this problem is corrected I will change this review and make it five stars because I really do enjoy this app and loved my nook when it worked. But I am currently upset to have all my titles gone. Thank you.

Lost books. I am usually a huge fan of the app and have been using it for about 6 months with no problems. Since Monday I’ve been unable to search for authors or view my wishlist I have tried many things so I decided to log out and log back in. after logging back in it showed I had 0 books when before I had over 180 purchased books. this is extremely frustrating and I would really appreciate some feedback on these issues thank you for you’re time Update: everything working great so happy!!!

Somewhat disappointed. After years of reading my favorite authors almost as fast as their books could be written, I took a break to explore other interests. I had been using various eReaders including the Nook but when I bought my first iPad, I was thrilled that I could use a Nook App to read and add to my library. However, the one frustration, I cannot purchase eBooks through the B&N Nook app. I can’t fathom why, while in the Nook app on my iPad, I see a message “This app does not support purchasing of this content.” This makes no sense. How does one purchase eBooks (Nook) when I no longer have a working Nook eReader?

Cannot access any of my books!. I had noticed a week or two ago that the app continually crashed as I was reading, so I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Since it has been reinstalled I have been completely unable to access my eBook library from Nook. I have over 150+ books in my library and I cannot see a single one of them anymore. I’ve called Barnes & Noble support and they basically told me to wait 48 hours and try again... it’s been three weeks now and still no books. Honestly, it’s theft. They’ve charged me for books and I no longer have access to any of them with no option of returns. I pointed this out to support and the woman sat silently on the phone and waited for me to “have a rational discussion.” I’ll be switching to Kindle ASAP.

Not super accessible. I have both kindle and now Nook. I was disappointed that I cannot use my voiceover function to listen to my book. I will go between reading and listening to books depending on if I am driving or multitasking. I have tried so many things to get it to work. I will turn on voiceover and it will read one page, read it again, then turn the page to a blank page. As soon as voiceover is off the page returns. If you have vision challenges I suggest sticking with Kindle as this app doesn’t seem very accessibility friendly. I couldn’t even find a solution under FAQs or forums. My voiceover works literally everywhere except Nook.

Now the bookstore comes to me!. This is the most wonderful innovation for readers like me who are getting older and have problems getting to stores. Barnes and Noble used to be my favorite destination for a pleasurable shopping expedition but old man time has made those trips difficult. Now, though, through the wonders of science - and Nook - I’m able to peruse all the new releases and old favorites right from my chair! I’ve got several hundred books in my library now and, believe it or not, I can take them all with me everywhere I go without straining my back! Thanks for all the books.

Cannot Log In Anymore. I was signed in to the nook app and had just purchased two new books online. I waited for them to refresh in the app and they did not so I followed the troubleshooting instructions on B&N. This created a whole host of new issues resulting in the app crashing and me not being able to sign in. I get an error message now on BOTH my iPhone and iPad apps that says “Check Internet Connection: the request timed out”. I have hard reset both devices, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and nothing works. My internet is fine and works on everything except the nook app. There is no support for this. I cannot email them about the app apparently and the phone hold is forever and they had nothing for me. This is unacceptable. I cannot access ANY of my books that I’ve purchased.

Nook. I have been a nook consumer for a long time and the only change I would suggest is to add a purchase option when reviewing the books in the Bookstore on the mobile app. Buying it directly from the app instead of adding it to the favorites and then going to the actual website to purchase the nook book is just adding extra steps to the purchase process. Obviously I have been completing this extra step for years now it would be nice. I love the theme for the app and how it's easy to use. It's the best thing created for the modern avid readers of the world. Thanks Barnes & Noble :)

Functions but needs work. Ultimately the app works well enough most of the time (I.e. I can see the text of a book and read it). Lately, however, it seems to be filled with bugs. All the text disappearing and not showing anything at all - just an empty app view. Highlighting text sometimes ends up showing the same area highlighted page after page. Restarting the app hasn’t always fixed it. Seems to just randomly occur or go away. Like I said, the app works, but merely reading text is the bare minimum. Features like highlighting, notes, etc all need some additional polish and overall feels like the app needs stability improvements.

Nook app and nook itself no longer works. Since about Saturday both my actual Nook and my Nook app on my phone are giving error messages about internet connection. I couldn’t even search in the book store. It won’t load. I reinstalled the app and now all of my books are gone and still with the same problem. I’m afraid to do anything to the actual nook because I can still access already downloaded books. I’ve spent a lot of money on purchases from my nook. I’m really hoping this is fixed soon. I may just switch to Kindle.

Four Key Features Missing. There are four features missing from the NOOK app that are found in the iBooks app. First, the NOOK app won’t tell you how many pages are left in the chapter that you are currently reading. It will only tell you how many pages are left in the entire book. I like to know where I am in the chapter I’m reading, so that I can be aware of my progress. Second, the NOOK app does not allow you the option of advancing the page by tapping on the left side of the screen. Third, the NOOK app does not allow scrolling view. Fourth, the NOOK app makes it difficult to highlight phrases. You can’t simply tap, hold and then drag to select a sentence to highlight, like you can in the iBooks app. You have to select one word and then grab the selection bar and drag it down to the end of the section you wish to highlight, which requires an extra step, which is annoying. The easiest solution would be to purchase all my books through the iBooks app, but sometimes they are cheaper through Barnes and Noble for some odd reason. In addition, I already have some purchased books from Barnes and Noble.

Love my Nook!. My sister bought me a Nook for Christmas soon after they came out, I loved being able buy a wide variety of books instantly at any hour without leaving home. I’m about to buy my third one. I am now pretty much housebound, but my Nook still allows me to read almost any book. I may not be able to handle large hardbacks, but I now have Nook versions of my youthful favorites (Jane Austin, C.S. Lewis) and large numbers of history, fiction and Nonfiction books! I am a super fan of electronic books!

Gets the job done, still could use improvement. For the most part, it’s pretty easy to navigate the app. I will always feel like it’s pointless to show the ebook catalogue without any options to purchase directly from the app. If it’s already signed into your B&N account, why wouldn’t the transaction process be simple and seamless? I think a lot of people would appreciate being able to listen to an audiobook while also being able to read along with eBook. I shouldn’t have to listen on one device and read on another.
