## Review summary

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.

- 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)
