User Reviews

User reviews largely describe BookWalker's new app as a downgrade from the previous version. The most frequent complaints are ad-heavy interruptions (persistent pop-ups and banners), the requirement for internet access even for purchased titles, and the loss of offline reading capability. Many users lament the removal of library organization features such as bookshelves, series sorting, and robust filtering, making navigation cumbersome. Account migrations report login and migration failures, sometimes losing purchases in the transition. A coin-based storefront replaces direct purchases, which many find confusing or frustrating. Overall, users want the old features back and a more stable experience.

Pros

Cons

Constant ad-heavy interruptions and frequent pop-up ads disrupt reading and navigation, with banners appearing during use and login.
Offline reading is no longer possible: titles can't be downloaded for offline access on Apple devices, requiring internet to read purchases.
Loss of library organization features: removal of bookshelves, series-based sorting, and robust filtering makes it hard to find and manage titles.
Migration and login issues: users report failed account migrations and login problems, sometimes losing purchases during the transition.
Coin-based purchasing model replaces direct book purchases, which many find confusing and frustrating.

Recent reviews

Almost every single story they have is locked behind a paywall past the first episode. There is no amount of time that needs to pass before a new chapter becomes free, it is permanent.

This app is so buggy!!! It’s unable to save my place in books correctly, its lags whenever I try to find new books (a problem both on app and site) the recommendations you see for other books are also of worse quality rarely relating to the book you are viewing. Lastly the worst issue is that I was completely unable to transfer my Collections over, I was told by support that it never got saved to the server so there is no salvaging it. I have so many books and it’s gonna take forever to setup new collections due to how bad the new system is, why can’t I mass select books?!
