User Reviews

Users largely report an unstable Barnes & Noble iOS app: persistent performance problems (lag, timeouts, crashes), frequent login issues, and checkout/payment failures. Search and navigation are tedious, and in-store stock details are missing. A few notes mention catalog variety and membership support, but reliability concerns dominate.
Pros
  • Large catalog of books available in the app.
  • Barnes & Noble membership features can be used within the app for purchases.
  • When the app runs smoothly, users can complete orders.
Cons
  • Severe performance issues: slow loading, lag, freezing, and crashes are common.
  • Frequent sign-in/out and login problems with session timeouts.
  • Checkout and payment errors that prevent purchases.
  • Poor search functionality and confusing navigation/UI, making it hard to find items.
  • Lack of clear in-store stock information or shelf locations.

I literally just got this app the other night to buy some CORTIS merch, but every time I place an order it will automatically cancels every single time. I don’t know what’s wrong with the system but it need to be fixed. I searched this problem up and others have had to deal with it to meaning the problem hasn’t been dealt with which is disappointing.

can’t click into books because it resets the filter every. damn. time. It resets if you look at it wrong. Fix your UX and code ASAP it will turn people away from using the app.
