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 liked the idea of bookshop.org and want an alternative to amazon, but the experience reading ebooks here is frustrating. And since ebooks I buy from this company are locked to this app, I’m going to have to buy them somewhere else. - For some reason, it requires a connection to open a book, even if it’s a book i’ve been actively reading. - Frequently loses my exact place in the book, resetting to the beginning of the chapter

I like this company a lot and the app is great. Easy to use and smooth experience. I wish it also included the physical book catalog so that I could add books to my cart when I’m on the move. I’ve only purchased physical books from Bookshop.org and the app for me is mostly to find and save books.
