Unusable - books stuck loading forever

I bought my last book on Google Play tonight. I cannot read it using the app on my iPad because it never loads into the app. I can only read on PC or MAC, which defeats the purpose of an eBook, which is best read on a tablet or eReader. The iOS app was once pretty good, but its perennial loading problems have finally stopped me believing Google is a viable alternative to their eBook vendors for iPad.
