★★★☆☆ Paul James Chatman · 5 Oct 2026 · v11.1.110/05/2026: Updated this app on my Moto GPlay 2024 w/OS14 - AGAIN - NO MORE WIDGETS!! 😡 11/09/2019: *DO NOT UPDATE FROM VERSION 7!!* IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE 4x2 & 4x4 HOMESCREEN WIDGETS, DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 8! VERSION 8 REMOVES ALL THE WIDGETS EXCEPT ONE. I'm glad I had a backup for version 7. Aside from removing features, this is a decent eBook service. Updating to v8 had removed the widgets. Bookmarks never seem consistent across devices. I mostly use this on my tabletDeveloper reply · 5 Oct 2026Thank you for your feedback!

★★★★☆ Christine Boschman · 5 Oct 2026 · v11.0.2I love Kobo Books

★★★★★ Helen Thompson · 5 Oct 2026 · v11.1.1Despite some of the terrible things that happen in this story, to Mabel and those around her, this book is laugh out loud funny and a very easy read. Emotionally there are some really shocking events that will catch you totally off guard and break your heart which is contrasted with the more inevitable "twists" that seemed obvious to me as I read. I loved Mabel. Loved the way it was written. Great contrasts and utterly human

★☆☆☆☆ Mike Hines · 4 Oct 2026 · v11.1.1Incredibly frustrating attempt to sign up for Kobo plus to get an audio book. Over a week of cancelling and resubscribing and to this date Kobo was not able to understand what I was trying to do. Never did get anything other than reading version no matter how many times I cancelled and tried again.Developer reply · 4 Oct 2026Thank you for your feedback and we apologize for the inconvenience that might have been caused to you.

★☆☆☆☆ Craig Ringer · 3 Oct 2026 · v11.1.1It's ok, but needs a clearer way to filter for only DRM-free books. Edit: It is DELIBERATELY HIDING DRM status in listings now. Books shown on the Kobo web store as e.g. "EPUB3 (Adobe DRM)" only show "EPUB3" on the app. It's deliberately hiding DRM. I am furious, I just paid more than I usually would for a book because I chose to support DRM free books, then I found out it's DRM'd after all. I've demanded a book refund, but this isn't acceptable. Edit: LOL and meaningless bot review auto-reply.Developer reply · 3 Oct 2026Hi!

★★★☆☆ Ray L · 3 Oct 2026 · v11.0.2Mostly okay, but with many quirks. Font size is not always sticky. Selecting text for highlighting is clumsy and dissociated from the selected text. Crashes or freezes every few days.Developer reply · 3 Oct 2026Hi! We are sorry to hear you're having this experience with the Kobo application.
