User Reviews

Users praise the app for supporting independent local bookstores and for a convenient, generally solid reading experience with in-app purchases. The mission and ease of buying ebooks and audiobooks are frequent positives. However, recurring complaints span several reviews: reading progress and bookmarks don’t reliably sync across devices; offline reading is inconsistent or blocked; highlighting and annotation UX is clunky with limited color options; accessibility is lacking (VoiceOver not supported); and DRM restrictions lock users into Bookshop’s platform, limiting transfers to other ereaders. Ongoing updates show improvements, but stability and offline behavior remain key areas for fixes.

Pros

Supports independent/local bookstores by enabling purchases through Bookshop.org.
Convenient in-app purchasing of eBooks and audiobooks.
Generally solid reading experience with features like dark mode and adjustable font size, and the ability to resume where you left off.
Positive mission and impact of avoiding big corporations.

Cons

Reading progress and bookmarks don’t reliably sync across devices.
Offline reading is inconsistent; some books won’t open without Wi‑Fi.
Highlighting/annotation UX is awkward with limited color options.
Accessibility is lacking (VoiceOver not supported).
DRM restrictions lock books to Bookshop’s platform and prevent easy transfers to other ereaders.

Recent reviews

I love supporting local bookstores while getting my ebooks. (KU can suck it). HOWEVER, I need the page turn animation in the reader settings. There are so many great settings, even more than most e-reader apps. Can you please add the page turn animation so I can read on your app?? Sliding from page to page breaks my suspension of disbelief. Add the page turn animation and this becomes 5 stars

This thing is buggy as hell on an ipad. The real problem is that when you buy an ebook from Bookshop.org you can’t read it on any other device. This is literally your only option. Bummer.
