Reviews for Google Play Books & Audiobooks

I love the app because it has books that were takin down on Kindle, but the only problem I have is that I would seriously like if there was continuous scrolling instead of flipping pages and the words are too small to read (yes I fixed my settings for the font, etc.), if i want […]

After the recent update, the option to permanently delete uploaded epub files is gone. To delete an uploaded book, I need to go to the website using a browser and from there I can delete the book. This is such a basic option to have, and it was working perfectly fine, but now I have […]

It works well enough, my issue is with how annotations are handled, its difficult to reread my past annotations, as everything that doesn’t fit on the first line is just cut off unless I go to edit it. Then it displays properly in the field. I also wanted to go back to the pages when […]

Is there a way to stop the app from automatically downloading a purchased book? I like to go through the free books and grab ones that look good, but I’m not necessarily ready to read all of them the minute I “buy” them. It is blowing up my phone and taking up so much storage. […]

Originally 5 stars for the free read along. But you can not set a timer, so sometimes I will fall asleep and wake up to the book finished. This app also has a hard time catching up to the read along. Sometimes, the book will say I am on page 40, but the read aloud […]

Very pleased. The only things I would like added are a way to sync my library with my pc. So far after many tries, no luck. Also i have not found a way to adjust the reading light level. Tried to do on my Android setting also but the two don’t seem to sync, though […]

I like most google apps, and when I found out there was a books one I was thrilled. I have a ton of ebooks that I like to read and I assumed this would be a great app to store and read when I want. I was wrong. You cant sort uploaded ebooks at all. […]

They would not cover the cost of my book (purchased and owned for 2 years) when the Book ID suddenly changed and I was expected to buy it again. They would only refund the amount that I paid years ago back when it was $4 and now is $10+ dollars. I’ve been using Play Books […]

I have enjoyed using Google Books since the beginning, the only issue I have is when using read aloud, the page in the viewer doesn’t always (or most often) stay synced with what is being read. Then if you stop, it returns to the page in the viewer, not where it stopped reading. Please fix… […]

I love this app…… almost to the point of saying it’s better than Amazon but I will continue to use both as all authors don’t partner with both. My only complaint is where the app recommends “E Books for you” I keep marking some as not interested, the book returns to the “E Books for […]

Great, until it stopped functioning. I continually get a “This file couldn’t be uploaded. Check your internet connection and try again.” error trying to upload a book. I can’t find any info online how to fix it, so I have migrated to another app. I don’t want to delete and reinstall because I have too […]

I read in the evening and would really like Red text on Black. Google please can you add more flexibility. This reader is pretty marginal to bad. I would love to use Google Play Books more but I do not like the reader. My main complaint is the lack of color choices. I read in […]

I have used this app for years and been disappointed for most of that time. I held out hope that eventually someday it would improve but it is almost as if it is abandonware. You cannot group your collection by author, you cannot edit or update book information. There are no “shelves” the ui for […]

I cannot download the ebooks I have purchased for some reason. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but it didn’t work. It keeps saying “The book cannot be downloaded right now. Try again later.” It’s been like this all day. This is the first time I am having such an issue with google books. […]

Does what it’s supposed to do without issues most of the time. I never really used it to buy anything, but their books are fairly priced, possibly less than a physical copy in some cases. I prefer either going to the library or buying a physical copy at bargain prices, but whenever I want an […]

This app is a good place to keep and read my ebooks. I only have two problems with it; one, you can’t manually sort books that are in a Shelf. And two, even though I have the “For You” notifications off, I still keep getting popups for price drops on books I don’t want. Not […]

It works well for the most basic of use cases: reading. But it lacks a lot of features that other reader apps have. For instance, if you want to highlight text on multiple pages… nope! can’t do that! Compare this to what Kindle app offers, or even some of the smaller apps offers, it’s very […]

I was unsure about audio books at first, but the more I explore the app the more books I find to listen to, and finding out what narrators are better then some. I have found myself listening to more and more books now and absolutely love the fact that there are free books as well. […]

Google Play Books to me, is a great digital book, library edition for any reader on any device. Its interface is easy to understand. However, it can be challenging for some who may suffer from certain brain conditions. The outside looks have a brand emblem that’s crisp in colors. Now, I have to be candid, […]

• text to voice needs more voice and speed options • home page of app should be library with a search tool. • book suggestions should be a menu item under profile, or a tab in the app. instead, it’s always “greeting” me with “here! buy this!” It’s hard (at first) to get back to […]
