Customer Reviews

App needs to focus on the core functionality (2 stars)
I don't want a book-themed Facebook app. I want an app where I can discover and read books. And I don't mean the first chapter of the book, with no way to continue reading it.

Man up, acknowledge that I'm Apple's customer and that you should give them a cut in exchange for my eyeballs, and allow me to purchase books in your app.

Great App (4 stars)
Loving it!! It's a great app. No problems so far; however it doesn't allow me to buy books from the bookstore... It'd be very helpful and a time-saver if it did... Otherwise it's great...

???? (1 star)
It tells you to sign in using your email, but then doesn't give you anywhere to sign up. There is no way to search for any books. I just found out you have to go to there website to create an account. I feel you should be able to do everything from the app. I will be removing.
