  • Set to the end of the book when I open a book

    When I open a book, the page I left in the last time keeps being set to the end of the book. This is very annoying. I am very surprised this app is made by Google.

  • Gets beat by Adobe reader

    Well to save money, you can only buy the book on android devices. Smart move, however the app is just glitter and nothing much. I cant use a mouse and keyboard to browse, middle mouse wheel etc are also not detected by the app. And yes i speak of tablets, images just dont look so great, in the hard copy of book, the images are better than the app. Color choices in highlight is limited to just 4, there is no underlining available, basically pdf readers like adobe beat this app in every possible way. Id also like an option to swipe right or down to turn pages. Copy and paste is rubbish, bookmarks dont exist. However, I will applaud allowing people to use black one white instead of white screen which hurts for long use. Read aloud function is pretty much a joke, works good on android phones here i need a gesture, adobe again does it better. There is also no print version, hey i own the copy. Does google want to leave potential earnings away from these as well?

  • Delete book option

    everything was good on the app ‘til you decided to remove the “Delete books” option…I don’t want to “hide the book” in my library, i want the option to remove/delete the book once read…

  • Books aren’t in order

    By IuseLibbytoread
    Why are you unable to search your books in release order? I like to read series and the Libby app allows you to see the order of the series, but Play Books is quite stupid and doesn’t allow this feature. How about investing a little money into this app?

    This is still not fixed as of Jan 17, 2025. It’s causing accessibility issues because the light level keeps getting turned up on its own. It hurts my eyes and makes it hard to switch settings back where I need them. Please fix! Previously: This app functions well for the most part, but the lighting settings and the screen color settings don’t stay where I selected in app. Every time the shift from night to day themes, my Play Books dark, low light settings shifts from what I selected. And there’s no way to make them stay exactly as selected. It also frequently switches back to light theme and a more lighted scale than I can tolerate if I’m using other apps before returning to my book. I expect more than this. It’s 2025. Apps should have such basic settings sorted and should hold their values without user monitoring. I’m on iPhone 15 Pro Max and running iOS 18.2.1

    The app works okay most of the time but I am having trouble highlighting passages. For example it won’t stay highlighted and disappears. All my highlights don’t show up again even when I highlighted in the past. Please fix! Other that it works fine.

  • I don’t want sample

    I don’t like how it gives me sample bc all I want to do is just read the boo and I get sample on every book😞😭

  • Bookmarks and highlights gone

    By sp00kyspice
    They used to work on the iPad app, but lately my highlights and bookmarks disappear immediately after marking them. If I open the book on the android version, they all show up, even if I completed the highlight on the iPad. For some reason they are just gone from the iPad app now. Disappointed, but hoping for a fix.
