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)

Love the app so far just wish could buy books in the barns and noble app instead of online

by La*****, 2026-06-26

I have been a nook app user for over 18 years; I have hundreds of e-books purchases from Barnes & Noble. Lately, after e-book purchases I have experienced extreme difficulties downloading the titles. To try to resolve the challenge myself, I deleted my app and then reinstalled ; now none of my e-books will download and I get error messages; when I call the one 800 nook help line, I am informed that it could take between 1 to 2 weeks for me to receive help: very very disappointing since I purchased those books and now can’t have them because there is an app challenge. Meanwhile emails from app support are repetition and useless What is going on with the Nook app

Every time I exit the app and re-enter, it goes back to the default dark mode which I don’t want. Also, the page numbers in the app don’t match the page numbers in the book.
