Some apps are distributed as Split APKs (multiple .apk files packaged together) to optimize resources. Standard Android installers cannot open them.
For our passionate readers who love books as much as we do, we update the Kobo Books app as often as possible to continually improve on its reliability and performance.
Here's what's new in our latest release:
• Bug fixes and general improvements.
Thanks for reading with Kobo Books!
Discover the Kobo App — Your Ultimate eBook and Audiobook Library
Used to be a great app. Since the last update though, it's very hard to use. The links for footnotes no longer appear to work. When you open a book, it automatically turns the screen brightness up to maximum, which makes it almost impossible to look at because it's so bright. You can't turn the brightness down either because it somehow overrides the phone settings. None of the settings seem to allow you to change any of this and re-installing it didn't do anything.
The Kobo app needs some work, especially the audiobooks. It freezes when I try to listen to back to back samples. I have to power off my phone in order for audiobooks to finish downloading. The app will show that a book is on chapter one when it's really on chapter nine. I have to close the app and reopen it for the app to catch up. I've learned not to pause a book and press play when it gets stuck on a chapter because it starts the book over.
I love my kobo e reader, but this app is pretty bad, ngl. When I don't have strong connection to the Internet, it won't let me access my downloaded books, half the time it doesn't load anything at all. If I'm reading a book and I go back to my home screen or a different app for a bit, then go back, I'm met with a completely black, unresponsive screen. Most of the time when I'm in my library, there is a continuous loading icon at the top of the screen. Hope this app improves soon!
I can no longer use my credits for audiobooks, the only option is to purchase at full price. The "help" link only leads to an error message on both the app and the website. Please let us fine-tune the playback speed. The playback speed adjustment is currently extreme. Speeding up to 1.05 to 1.10 or down to 0.95 or 0.9 would be great. I'd never isten to anything at +3.0 speed... The search results aren't easy to navigate. Membership read/listen library is awesome! I hope that doesn't change.
