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.

I want to support my local independent bookstore, including ebook purchases. But this app is not great. Not syncing between devices, failed downloads, and the app doesn’t even seem to realize the app itself is already open so tries to prompt reading via browser. Overall, disappointing.

I like bookshop - especially like its support of local book shops. Unfortunately, I mainly read ebooks because I simply cannot store a large quantity of hard copy books. I will buy a hard copy if I think it is one I will use multiple times, or is one I can give to someone after I have read it. I read mainly nonfiction & use highlights A LOT. Often re-read a book just by reading the highlights. This function works poorly in bookshop app. Kindle is way better & I would return to kindle except I am pretty committed to NOT using Amazon.

I love using this app! Every time I open it there’s a new “something” it can do, I’m having so much fun exploring it! Much more intuitive than others, and takes up less space. Love to support local bookstores while I’m reading!
