  - 1★ 2026-10-04, Mike Hines: Incredibly 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.
  - 1★ 2026-10-03, Craig Ringer: It'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 woul…
  - 1★ 2026-10-03, Marie Vermes: deleted all my credits one day amd my audio books started resetting randomly, once my subscription ended. bad timing to ask for feedback!
  - 2★ 2026-10-02, George Cruz Arbelo: The price could be fare, but the App doesn't work well and its always closing just right after opening it
  - 1★ 2026-10-01, Aurel Anlauf: missing volume key as page turn
