Google Play Books - Books & Comics App Reviews

After last update all my books (purchased and uploaded) are gone. What happened??

Since the last update, every other time I close the app and reopen it, it says "App is updating books in library. This may take some time" Super annoying!! Please fix!

I love Google Books, but there are big problems with this app on iOS related to creating and viewing notes and highlights. Highlights are very difficult to create, and sometimes huge sections of the book are erroneously displayed as having been highlighted. If you just want to read books without creating or viewing highlights, then this app will probably work fine.

I love my google play books on my other devises however on my iPad in iOS it is very disappointing. Continually says the app is updating my books and the it takes forever. Is there an update or fix for this?

I bought a course text using this app, expecting it to be awesome because its Google. When my iPad goes to sleep while the app is open and my book is open, it spins its wheels when I unlock the iPad. I have to manually close and reopen the app before it will show me my book again. Holding my breath for improvements.

Will give 5star when it supports right to left flipping and some minor bugs (like bookmarking) are fixed.

Just awesome idea

Keeps crashing when trying to upload books from WD mycloud app.

Why does it take forever to download a title? I am sitting waiting upwards of 15 minutes to read a free title from Google books. It crashes, the progress meter sits there spinning and doing nothing, I have to restart it constantly... Even after the book is supposedly accessible, it is still only partially downloaded. I could buy a plane ticket to London, fly there, and go to the Bodelean and read the book in person before I get it on the app.

NEED to add: tap to turn page feature. Would get 5 stars then

Should add a scrolling option. And highlighting text is a pain.

It really needs a scrolling auction

Is just me is read aloud not available with this app? Ill change this to 5 stars if Im wrong

With the iOS 10 update changing font size no linger works.

Having my current reading material available to read on my phone is a dream come true. But the clunky UI, horrid search engine, and the inability to stay open more than three seconds turned that around. If it didnt need constant re-installs (along with re-downloading my books) it could be manageable. Fix the crashes!

This app will not stop crashing, making it impossible to use. Also, the highlighting is very clunky. When I am trying to highlight a large section of text by dragging my finger, oftentimes it will deselect all that I highlighted and a note will pop up instead.

A great reader for standard ePubs that also supports synchronization across devices.

Its the best reading app. So yeah.

Seems ok. I wish you can customize/add libraries as looking for a specific category is cumbersome.

Switched from Samsung to iPad so I am glad I still access to my purchases. Cool. So far so good...
