Open eBooks Customer Insights

1. I'm done.Absolutely atrocious app! my teacher wanted the class to use this so you can read and stuff but when you try and read a book it doesn't show any text! and I was like "oh I think there is an update for it maybe that's why it wont work" but then I checked and it said the last update was in 2016!! Seven years without an update!!! Plus the books are boring, never using this app again.I love the app, and the options of zoomed letters an black pages are great! The only problem is that it does not have most books that you might be looking for specifically, you kind of just have to find one that you like that is already on there.

2. Please fix this and I will give a better rating.Books never download then when i read a book the screen goes black with no text when i switch pages then sometimes it brings me back to the first page too and.

3. That's why I'm dropping 2 stars.When you try to download books, it doesn't let you and when you finally get it to download and finally get to read it the screen and book is just plain white blank everytime I try to read the book.

4. I miss when the app worked.I've had this app for about 3 years now and, for the most part, it's been pretty good but around 2 months ago it stopped working and wont let me download the books anymore.

5. Frustrating!Was awesome to be able to read a large variety of books online for free, until the app stopped working.

6. When I first started using it I was frustrated that I had to go back to my books and tap read after every chapter to go to the next one.

7. I need this app for my class reading so this is just really annoying that these things happen and now my teacher needs to set up another way to catch up on my book im trying to read.

8. For example goosebumps, all dork daries, I survived books, Anne with an E, Riverdale, and many more.I cannot access this app's books, nor open anything that is of help on this site.

9. There were all sorts of books that I would read, and it even has one of my favorite series on it.

10. Very frustrating.Everything works but we need better and more interesting books.

11. Wouldn't let me download or return books.
