User Reviews

Users generally praise Apple Books for its large catalog and enjoyable reading experience, with some free titles available. However, recurring drawbacks include high book prices, difficulties re-downloading purchased titles, confusing pricing messaging, and various technical issues such as download problems and broken search. A few negative notes also point to rental-like labeling and unexpected extra charges. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong positive on reading experience and catalog, tempered by pricing and reliability concerns.

Pros

Large catalog / wide selection of books
Overall positive reading experience / enjoyment of reading
Some free content / free books available

Cons

High prices / books are expensive
Cannot re-download purchased books / access to owned titles can be lost
Pricing messaging is misleading (no subscription but per-book charges)
Technical issues (download failures, data loss, broken search)
Some titles labeled as rentals / pay again after purchase or extra charges

I would like to be able to see my highlights in PDF files that I upload I would like to see collection folders instead of a collection menu that I have to click every time I would like to see more customisation options for background colour and font colour. Very important to be able to see notes on my PDFs and books that I write right now there is no such option.

here are some things i need from the bookstore app. the want to read feature, i want those books to stay in there and not be removed even if the release date has passed, i want to be able to see the dates no matter what view it is in. i don’t care if the store doesn’t carry the books, i want to see the titles. i know this doesn’t mesh with apples always be selling something. it would just be nice if i could go into the app and find my books in a nice list where i saved it.
