User Reviews

Reviews repeatedly describe Glose as unstable and frustrating. The main complaints are crashes, losing reading position, and download/access problems, along with a clunky UI and slow loading. Users report chapters skip or pages fail to render, and some books won’t open or download. Support responsiveness is lacking, and some publishers restrict usage. A small number of users do note audiobook support or that they still like the app, but overall the reading experience is unreliable.

Pros

Offers both audiobooks and eBooks.
A few reviewers still express liking the app as a reading experience.

Cons

Frequent crashes, freezes, and general instability.
Loses reading place and skips chapters/pages, making it hard to follow a book.
Cannot reliably download or access purchased books; offline reading issues.
Clumsy, slow, and non-intuitive UI/navigation with long loading times and missing cover art.
Poor support responsiveness and publisher-imposed restrictions limit how and where content can be read.

Recent reviews

The format is terrible because I have to zoom in and out to read every page. If I tried to read a single book this would be quite tiring. iPhone puts there books in a complete page format which makes it easier read. I can read the page and use my finger to advance to the next page, no zooming is necessary. This app is totally not iPhone friendly. Therefore, since it is absolute struggle to read even one page, I am planning to delete this app on my iPhone.

Planning to enjoy enjoying a quiet evening reading and the app is locked out, saying it requires an update in the App Store, but there is no update available in the App Store. Offloaded it the put back on phone and it still won’t work so I cannot access any of my books.
