Reviews for Barnes & Noble NOOK

I hate this app. I tend to read in bed, and it doesn’t remember, nor can I set as a default, that I want the app to open in dark mode. Also, if I pause the app briefly, when I go back to it, it not only loses the dark mode but also skips backwards […]

Love the Nook app. It offers plenty of books to read—often at a good price, too… Can someone please tell me why a lot of my ebooks are no longer showing a cover in my library? It’s very aggravating. They were there before, and now they’re gone. Having a picture on the cover helps to […]

This app crashes so much that my phone gave me a notification that it crashes too much. I deleted cache and even reinstalled it but it’s so bad I have to use the web reader. However since I’m reading a light novel which includes the occasional drawing the web reader shows the drawings as broken […]

I am using the app to listen to an audiobook on an Android phone. The app stops frequently and upon restarting never starts at the point of the book where it stopped. It does not accurately keep track of chapters read and must be manually reset to previous stopping point. the only way to ensure […]

Recent app update is broke. Now the app shuts down when I try to move to the next page. Does this with all my recent purchases. The page it happens to varies with each different book. Tried all the usual fixes: cleared cache, unistalled/reinstalled app, removed & then downloaded the books. All to no avail. […]

It’s bad. As other reviewers have said, it doesn’t remember your place in the book. It often has syncing issues (with a persistent notification that only goes away if you force close the app). When trying to turn to the next page, sometimes it goes to the same page, sometimes to the previous page, sometimes […]

I generally like this app and have used it or a version of it on several devices. However, after a recent reinstall because of problems with it crashing a lot, it no longer does accessibility (text-to-voice). Which is a feature I use sometimes. The feature is still listed, but it seems to freeze and won’t […]

Horrible app. crashes constantly and doesn’t save your chapter when it comes back up. Took me 2 days to read a book that should have been hours. Randomly would define words then the box wouldn’t go away. Sometimes it would just go back to chapter 1. If I had paid for this book I would […]

I have been using this app since 2016 and haven’t had any problems until the last few months. I have done everything I am supposed to do on my end, ie. uninstall and reinstall, clear cache, and I have even put the majority of my library on cloud. I will be reading and the book […]

NOOK rocks! I have a Kindle, but it’s just for portable web search & games. I’ve been reading via NOOK since 2010. I love feel, smell, everything about a real book, but having so many books that I can slip in a purse is amazing! Surface reads like a real book. Adjustable font size and […]

Been using this app on my phone for years (after my nook died), recently though, old books and a new one I just purchased, are causing the app to crash while reading. I’ve done everything suggested (clear cache, storage, uninstall/reinstall) nothing is fixing the issue. The error message actually says that it’s a bug and […]

. this app isn’t overall too bad but I got this specifically so that I could get one series that I absolutely loved when I was a kid. And I wanted to get the audiobook version but we weren’t able to get that on top of that it was nowhere close to free. no matter […]

This is the glitchiest app I have ever encountered. It is constantly closing itself or exiting out of the book I’m reading, and it keeps getting “stuck” on specific pages and then crashing. The problem is consistent across data/internet connections and persists after uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Extremely annoying to not be able to […]

Good until the ransom. Can’t remember if it was back in 2019 or 2020 but for like, 2 months this app was unusable. Couldn’t access purchased content or purchase new content. when it was restored, my wishlist was destroyed and certain books I bought were no longer available. Now i mainly use it to listen […]

As a platform for ebooks, it’s fine. The font and brightness controls work well; you can bookmark pages and highlight. BUT…I have been reading a book I purchased and downloaded and it keeps getting “stuck” on a certain page and throwing me backwards hundreds of pages. I literally cannot access the second half of the […]

I hate having to use my phone. my PC Nook app messed up, and I had to uninstall it, not realizing it no longer exists, so I can’t reinstall ap. I used to love Barnes and Noble, but I’m ticked that I have to use tiny screens to read, and their website is a pain […]

I wanted to support Barnes and Noble, but this app has lots of problems. The page turning looks cool, but if you go back to the last page, when you flip forward it skips pages and you have to keep trying to get it back on track. The time estimates are off and didn’t adjust. […]

I’ve loved using a Nook to read since the first one came out. I have one of each mode; I believe. It’s a shame the Nook tablet I had was discontinued. The Nook app for Android devices seems to be a bit of a mess. I have at least 1 setting that doesn’t want to […]

I’ve been using the B&N Nook app for years on multiple devices and own hundreds of books both purchased and free downloads. The reader part of the app works fine. Occasionally a page is stuck and you go back one page and retry. It quit showing book covers on older books and I had to […]

I loved Nook; I have over 1000 titles. However, I can only think that B&N no longer wants my business. I still believe this to be true. I still have the “stuck pages” issue- like it will from 15 to 17, and only rebooting the app will get them unstuck again. I bow have a […]
