User Reviews

Across reviews, users praise the NOOK app for its reading-friendly UI and a large title catalog, with some noting audiobook support and organized series. However, repeated issues undermine usability: frequent sign-in failures, download errors (content hash mismatches), unreliable page navigation and rendering, and occasional endless loading or crashes. Update regressions (breaking zoom, two-column layout, keyboard navigation) amplify frustration, leading many to question ongoing support. Overall, core reading remains solid, but reliability and update quality need urgent attention.

Pros

Easy-to-use reading experience
Large catalog of digital titles
Clean, attractive reading UI
Audiobook support exists
Series auto-organization helps navigation

Cons

Sign-in/login issues prevent access to accounts
Content download errors with hash data mismatch
Page navigation/reading issues (page curl broken, jumping pages, left-side reading time missing)
App sometimes won't open or stays in endless loading/Performance problems
Updates regress features (zoom, two-column layout, keyboard navigation)

Good but slow at times

Using the app on my newspaper, I can still pinch, but it only pulls up the left corner of the page, you cannot move it around as before. I think there is a bug with the latest update, either on yours or apple’s part. Brand new iPad, running latest software for both pad and app. Article view works fine, just zooming does not.

Don’t know what happened with the last update, but it no longer opens at all. I get stuck buffering at the “100% loading”. I can’t read ANYTHING and I’m distraught!
