  • I want to export notes

    The app lets us export notes but the format is bad. I want to add these thoughts to my journal and the formatting doesn’t tell you what page the note is on or what color the highlight is. I recommend going to Kindle and their export method much more and really want apple to offer the same thing!
  • Beware, It Burned My Entire Library of College Notes!

    By Rob in Fx VA
    I used this app religiously through college to take notes on lecture slides with Apple Pencil (so easy). However after graduating, I learned the hard way that this app does not backup to your computer when you back up your entire iPad. A bug in the newest (fall 2023) Apple “auto-update” wiped out my entire iBooks collection, and with it all my textbooks, and all my lecture notes, and all my PDFs from my entire college career. Some were backed up manually to my desktop mac (2013 model), if “Airdrop” decided to work that night, but often it didn’t if my software wasn’t up to date. Over 4 weeks, Apple support was useless in recovering the data (20 GB). To make things worse: My school Canvas IT access was cut off after graduation, so I couldn’t just re-download the stuff myself. Thankfully the school’s IT department felt sorry for me and after 6 weeks of haggling, was able to get some COVID-era lecture videos back so I could re-transcribe my clinical healthcare notes. The moral of this story: DON’T USE IBOOKS… OR LIVE IN FEAR! Use the “Freenotes” app instead. It is perfect. It has all the functionality of iBooks and is completely free. Don’t let Apple’s policy to “fail silently” burn your library... Heed my advice!
  • Lookup in the wrong place

    I read on my phone constantly. I read lots of books from my Apple Books app. I love that I can read on my phone, especially at night when I don’t have to have the light on.. What makes me crazy about this app? Well, I’m glad you asked. Wanna look up a word? Instead of the look up. Feature being right there you have to scroll to the second page of the options. It used to be that the ‘look up’ function was immediately available once you highlighted the word. No longer. They have changed it and I cannot tell you how many words I look up every single day. My finger gets tired of scrolling. PLEASE! CHANGE IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS!!

  • Nightmare to cancel

    By ChrisShannon94
    Enjoyed the app when I was commuting long hours to work, now I now no longer have that commute and I’m trying to cancel it. NIGHTMARE. I’m still on hold going on 30 minutes and have been transferred 3 times. I’m not some boomer who doesn’t know how to work technology either, it’s just actually impossible to do from both the mobile site and the website. Please just use another app, nook never gave me these issues.
  • Steals your books and won’t give them back

    I opened up the app recently to continue reading any one of the pdfs I had added, only to find all of them were added to the cloud and none of them could be downloaded. What a terrible service.

  • Why is there no option to filter by unread?

    By Al272sub
    Easy to use app. Most file formats work perfectly. Wish it had dyslexia font, and one other obvious omission… Why is there no option to filter by unread? There’s an option to filter by Books you have finished but that’s kind of silly because you’ve already finished them lol would love to be able to filter by books I have not read yet so I can decide what to read next.
