User Reviews

Users praise Sora for broad cross-library access and robust reading tools for ebooks and audiobooks on mobile. However, recurring issues include limited copies and long holds, coverage gaps across schools/libraries, and login/account friction between school and home usage, plus occasional stability problems after updates.

Pros

Access to a wide catalog across school districts and local libraries
Rich reading tools: highlights, annotations, word lookup/definitions, bookmarking, and adjustable font/background
Availability of both ebooks and audiobooks
Works well on iPad/phone and allows reading anywhere (home or school) with cross-library access

Cons

Limited copies of popular titles leading to long holds and wait times
Gaps in library coverage: not all schools or libraries are included, causing access limitations
Sign-in and account management friction between school accounts and home use (complex login/setup)

Recent reviews

Sora kept saying that it couldn’t find my account so I deleted the app then 4 months later tried it again and guess what? Still nothing! Otherwise I think it would have been great, because a lot of other apps you have to pay for for this kind of stuff, so Sora was not that bad

This is the best reading app I’ve had! Buuuuut there is a downside for younger kids there are some books on this app that are very horrible for kids to be seeing I highly suggest you read with an adult next to you if you are 10 and younger but that depends if your child can handle scary stuff ok and when I say scary I’m saying 8/10 ok so scroll for books with an adult next to you 👍 PS my sister got nightmares from the book covers ok.There are no ads on this app.
