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

Love this app, I just wish it has the phone reader mode

theirs “deals” for books and they tell you you get multiple books for the price on one and take your money, the link it gives you doesn’t even exist, don’t waste your time on this app, it sucks.
