Ratings and Reviews

Loses my place in iOS 15

Joining the chorus of complaints here, since the "App Support" link goes to a 404 error on Apple's website. Every time I leave a book and return to it, it's on the page where I left off, but as soon as I turn the page, it jumps back to the beginning of the chapter! Since the App Support link is broken, I just hope Apple's Books dev team is reading these reviews.

Apple certainly made mistakes in the Steve Jobs era, but lately it seems to have gotten sloppy in ways I would never have expected back then.

(Ironically, I was reading a long quote from Woz when this bug most recently occurred, which is what prompted me to try to submit a support ticket… but ended up leaving this review instead.)

iOS 15 and Books NOT MESHING WELL

iOS 15 has been a really buggy update whether it's on my iPad or iPhone. It has terribly affected Books in the following ways: (1) The Book App keeps reloading my PDFs, etc. each time I open it. I've restarted my devices and it still does this. (2) Since the iOS 15 update (and the latest fixes to the iOS) not all of my stuff in Books is syncing properly across my devices and even my iMac. I regularly (like weekly or more often) back up my devices to the iCloud, so why is this happening? I've already lost a few PDFs because of this. (3) Since the latest iOS (and subsequent updates to it), I keep getting in the Books App that my iCloud Storage is Full. I pay for 50 GB of storage monthly and have only used up 8.8 GB to date. And that is the total of backing up all my Apple Devices, so I shouldn't be seeing "Your iCloud Storage is Full". In fact, I wonder if this iCloud Storage Full glitch is part of the problem why the stuff in my Books App is not syncing correctly. I've looked all of this up online and many others are having the same problems. People are warning others not to update yet to the iOS 15 update. I wish I would have listened. PLEASE PLEASE fix this. Thank you!

Fix it

I used to have this application to have books read out loud but after the new iOS it's gone crazy , did used to highlight the sentence of where I am reading but now it highlights the whole page, i usually have the book starts reading at the beginning and it reads it continuously but now it stops at each chapter which is really annoying, i used to mark the page where of I stopped the book and then I will just ask it to be read out loud when I want it to start again but now I have to start at the beginning of each chapter I can't do it from the page ,now it has to be at the beginning of each chapter. One other thing that keeps happening is that the application keeps removing and deleting some of the books from it and sometimes whenever I am downloading a book it's telling me I don't have the space even though I have a lot of storage left and it deletes the books in it without asking or anything. Please fix this .
