My Books Unlimited Library App Reviews

I would give this app more stars but it won’t let me register. Whenever I try to access the support and FAQ link it comes back with “403 forbidden!” I get the same response when I try to go to the developer’s website. I wish there was someone to contact for help and I wish I could use the features that come with registering an account.

My subway commute is a little over an hour, I’ve found that watching downloaded netflix movies, playing phone games during that hour will at most take 10-15%off my battery. In comparison, an hour of this app for some reason - with cellular data, bluetooth and wifi turned off, and background apps closed - takes 50-60% of my battery life. This is devastating because I enjoy reading, and back when this app was Freebooks, it didn’t seem to drain as much of my battery life. 60% of battery life in an HOUR?! That’s ridiculous.

Best This is the best and you can get free books or buy your own. It is totally AWESOME!!! I Love it so easy

Very good app. I am really enjoying reading books, thanks

llows me to read all of my favorite titles on the go. I love this a lot better then the google books because i can more books for free

Amazing I bought by mom a kindle fire so now we can share books. I can read a series in order no more searching bookstores or skipping books. Can't live without this app.

Just an awesome app, nothing to say, am carrying a pocket library......

I buy alot of books used at library and what have you. This has saved me so many times from buying the same books!

I like how it is connected to the library so you get some good books for free. Gives perfect reading experience,my friend suggested this

I needed this app. So far no problems. Needs a little UI refinement but it does exactly what I need.

I really loved it.. enjoyed a great no. Of books without needing to buy them hardcover..

Prior to kindle I wasn't a reader (2 books in 5 years) now I've read 4 in 3 months and loving it. Thank you kindle!

Keeps track of all my books & is very easy to use!

I love to read the books and the samples are long enough to kno if you will enjoy the whole book....The perfect app for all people who love to read!

I can read my books anywhere!!I really enjoy this free app. So many different categories of books to choose from..

Love it Love love love this app wouldn't know what to do without it

I enjoy the app i always read books on it

Keep up! Very good but update it regularly.. regardless of low downloads or reviews or whatever it will be all good in short time just don't give up I love its idea.

Nice App and Very usefull..Thanks. Exactly what i was looking for!

This app is incredible! It has all books that I want... I liked it.

Best one I've used so far, nice layout, easy to use and keeps all my books organised.

This app helps me keep track of all my books that I have, and read.

Love this app! Only I wish they had more books. I started a book and figured out that it was a trilogy so I wanted to get #2 but I could not find it on the app.

Just did the update and I can’t open any of the books previously in my library!

Wiped out all crash cases for me! Easy to use, faster than before, great selections of books! Well done!!

...crashes whenever I try to open any ebook.

I got this app as a means to read read books. The documentation makes it impossible to know which items may be audiobooks. On locating one title, I was never able to launch the reader. I accept that free apps need to be supported with advertisements, but every change of screens launches an ad for Audible.

Useless app now. Completely crashes!

I have not used this app for a few weeks during that time there was an update, now none of my books will open. When I try to open a book the app closes. I have tried shutting off my phone and turning it back on. Nothing works. I paid $2.99 for this app and now I get adds about your audiobook app, if I wanted to listen to books I would have bought an audio book app. I expect the next revision to fix the audio book adds buy giving me what I paid for no adds.

Used to work fine. Now every time I try to open a book it crashes.

Also has audio books!

Can’t make app open are use it to try and find book titles to pick from

Consistently crashes when trying to open book.

This used to be a great app... one of my favorites for reading extracurricular/fun books where I could zone out. Now I can’t save a spot or bookmark nor can I turn pages. Also every time I go to browse my “library” of downloaded books the app crashes. This was a great app. What happened?

Every time I go to open a book the app just crashes. I tried it with multiple books all having the same outcome.

Wonderful books

This apps great but it keeps closing every time i open a book. Silly. FIX IT PPL!

If you can't spell the word "releases" right (realeases) let alone have the books I am looking for, I don't want anything to do with this app. Don't get it! It's a waste of your time! That was only a few of the many problems this disappointment was...

They don't have warrior cats I typed " warriors " " warrior cats" all I got was girl warriors warrior people IDK ABOUT THOSE ( no offense to their writers) I WANT ERIN HUNTERS BOOKS AND I WILL NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP AGAIN UNTIL THEY HAVE ( at this time I'm writing) THE ERIN HUNTERS 56 BOOK IN THIS SERIES and they don't have my favorite chapter books either that's why I rate it 3 but I would rate it 2 1/2 but I can't

This app used to be really great! It offers a good selection of free books, and back then I even paid to remove ads. Now, though, the app crashes every time I try to open my library. Sadly, it is no longer usable.

Hmmm. Can’t read if app keeps crashing. And then, ask me to rate 5 stars? This app is a sad commentary on the poor performance that is being allowed to be released.

I have read several books I have downloaded. Not anymore. Every time I try to open a book to read on my iPad, the app. immediately crashes. Everything goes black. Then the iPad home screen appears. Looking at the poor ratings posted in the App. Store, it appears many have experienced this problem. It appears that the company could care less since it has yet to fix the issue.

Ads for Audible pop up and interfere with app navigation whenever I reopen or switch back to the app. The ads are Not subtle; not ignorable. The ads take over the whole screen and I have to tap a close button to dismiss them. Maybe I should pay the $10 for ad-free, but the way this app is going makes me doubt the developers. I agree about the issue of no bookmarking. It DOES have page numbering. But for the classic book I’m now reading, the page numbers restart with each chapter, and there is no index/table of contents listing the chapters. I have not had the crashes others are reporting. Also, links in this store to the developer website and support do not work. It offers a big library of free titles and I don’t know of a good competitor. So I’m giving two stars, and still using it. This app used to be great. Why the disappointing changes?

A library in your hand

Good app I really enjoy the books on there just not a whole lot of authors or variety of the books and that’s kind of the down side of it

I downloaded this to have an app to read the many ePub books I own. The info says you can add your own books. However, it looks like you can only sign into Dropbox to get books they want you to have. There is no more info since the "Support & FAQ" just open a web page "403 Forbidden." So far this is useless...

Why they changed this App and dared to call it an Update is a mystery. There is no way to bookmark a page. It is more difficult to find books to add to your library. You can't organize the books in your library. When the App crashes you will need to painstakingly start over and rebuild your library. A total waste of time. UPDATE: They changed the App again and now it crashes every time you try to open any book. Totally useless. This App is crap.

I was having the same problems described in recent reviews until the most recent update. Now it crashes when I attempt to open a book I have downloaded. Unusable at present.

This app has been a favorite of mine for awhile. It would crash on occasion as many apps do, and I would simply reopen it and continue reading. However, recently the crashes have become very frequent. 1. When trying to access a book, the app crashes (possibly related to pulling up an ad, another thing I am not too thrilled with). 2. When scrolling through pages, the app crashes (especially if I take my finger off of the screen?). These crashes make the app on my phone basically unusable. If they are not fixed soon I will be looking for another app and not coming back.

Downloaded a bunch of PD books, and when I try to scroll through the books I downloaded, it always crashes back to IOS after about 10 or 15 book covers are displayed. This makes it a very limited usefulness app. If they fix it I will upgrade my review. Very sad!!

I loved this app but now it keeps crashing and won’t open any of the books. There’s no way to contact the developer to inform them of this.

I haven’t opened this app in a while. But now, every time I try to open a book it crashes. Basically i’s useless now & will be deleted.

I have the last version of the app I am on iOS 11.1.2 iPhone 6

I cannot get any book to open. The app crashes.

This app was great and worked fine for me in the past, but now that I’ve been off it for a few months it doesn’t work anymore. I hadn’t used the app in about three months maybe a little less and like I said it worked fine before this, but there were some updates and maybe that’s what messed it up. I updated the app and opened it but every time I try and press open on a book it just closes on me which is EXTREMELY frustrating. Also, much harder to navigate in the app now. Should’ve kept it how it was.

This is a good app. If u like the classics.I fully believe that there isn’t a single book in there from the 21st century. But otherwise a good app

Great app love it very much no hidden charges and fees

I recently tried this and found it useful, but the last two updates crash immediately on opening something that has been downloaded. Completely useless now, 😥

Used to be great! Every ‘improvement’ has been a down grade. Now just trying to ‘open’ a downloaded book shuts down the whole ap. Disgusting and frustrating. So what was improved?? It is obvious developers pay no attention to comments. What began as an amazing source of old titles is now inaccessible. Repairing a ‘crashing’ program ought to be very high priority for developers. They must be asleep if on the job at all!

The new release crashes every time that I try to access the library, and when I try to reach the developer site to report the problem, I get a "403 Forbidden" message. They took a great app and ruined it. 11-19-2017.

I used to love to read on my ipad and love these free books! All the oldies any time I want! Just great! However, the print size has changed and is way too small. Please make it bigger! 11/17 It now crashes when I try to open a book, so I can't use it at all anymore.

Don’t bother with it. They’ve updated it & doesn’t work. You open a book and it crashes. Used to be good. I deleted it.

I totally agree with “Used to be excellent...” and “Frustrated!!” I have tried to use this app since the, so called, “update” on 11/16/17 and it crashes whenever I try to open a book. When I try to open Support and FAQ, I get “403 Forbidden” message! This is the main reason for writing a poor review! Perhaps I’ll get the developer’s attention, ha ha! To make matters worse, I PURCHASED this app a couple years ago and it was great!

This is a great app when it’s working. Since the latest update this app keeps quitting. I can’t even get to the book to read a word. It quits every time I try to open up the book.

This is without a doubt the best source of great books 😋 the price is right: FREE!

Really cool tbh really good app I never really give reviews but this app is worth it good books and free 2 things we love

I’ve started to read three different classic books. When I’ve read three to five chapters the book is no longer available, when I return to continue. So, I open another book. When I try to contact support I receive “403” or “404,” unavailable. Same with asking questions. “Unavailable.” For the past ten days to two weeks the phrase, ‘we are trying hard to ....’ Well, I don’t believe the app. will ever perform as designed. This is extremely disappointing, considering classic literature has provided so much enjoyment in the past. The lack of an explanation is mystifying. I would not recommend downloading or using this app. at this time. I can only hope whatever problem exists will be solved. The loss of such treasures is truly disheartening.

Great selection of free books written by the greatest thinkers of all time. Thoroughly enology the selections and the ease of reading, and enjoying these books!

This App is not very good because when I tried searching up a book it did not show it and I tried this a lot of times so I don’t like this app.

Book is read

This app has kept me entertained for the last three years. Great selection and features. Reliable.

Trying to access FAQ’s and tech support through app. Error appears. Deleting app.

I went to find a book that I was looking at that was $5 on Apple Books but when I went to look here it was never there. I am very disappointed in this book app and that it is more of old fashion books.

I was on a plane so board last week I downloaded this and walla I was so interested I could not get off of it

Worst book app

It’s great so far, but why is there no books from the 21st century? They’re all from the late 18th century to the early 20th century or something

Many words aren’t found in the dictionary, and it would be handy to be able to copy foreign words or phrases to plug into Google Translate for translation. Page formatting (and chapters) leaves a lot to be desired. Just finished Middlemarch and found it impossible to figure out where I was in the book and how much remained. Page “breaks” seem to be in awkward places and errant touches on the screen can send you to far off chapters.

Nice library of books by authors out of copyright. Numerous works. Easily read. Could use more features to make it more like iBooks - e.g real pages, time & battery shown as you read, more easily sorted personal library. Obnoxious audio book ad opens every time I open the app. No way to make it go away.

Omg I love reading but there is only old books so boring can’t even find a book I like

Love the app’s potential. BUT....... 1. Try to highlight a word. Result is the app implodes. By the way, I tried to highlight a word because there are no Bookmarks. 2. See #1. The part about no bookmarks. 3. Tried to relay these issues via Support/ FAQ but alas the page is 404 forbidden.

I wondered what this app was and how it got into my update queue. Sadly, it's never come close to the value of a kobo.

I'd say it's a great way to enjoy a little time to have peace. It's great for blank times and when you want to read. Easy to use yet fun. 10/10

This is the worst app to read books on DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!!!

Would give this 5 stars but doesn’t support landscape.

There is nobody to contact. I paid for no ads and for audio and the app will not refresh. They took my money and provided nothing. TOTAL RIP-OFF!!!! Can apps be reported to the Better Business Bureau.

Ummm? Tons of popular books? They don’t have The Lord of the Rings, they don’t have Stephan King, they don’t even have The Hunger Games. Or Harry Potter?! And if those aren’t popular books, I don’t know what is. I only give three stars because I found Pride and Prejudice and it was an extremely nice format. But.....seriously, please focus on the books that really are popular. I would give five stars if the app had the popular stuff, instead of turning up how to read minds when searching for Harry Potter.

I really like this

This is more for older books that you would read in 5th grade because they are the classics but I’m looking for more newer and better books just not for me

This app is really, great instead of buying books you can just use this app.I recommend it!!❤️👍🏼

I’ve only had the app for a couple days and I was really happy about the “pay once” that was relatively cheap for all of the audio books. Having only gotten half way through one audio book, I’ve been REALLY frustrated by the facts that - I can’t pause the audio and can only stop it by closing the app - I can’t place book marks to save my place anywhere so I’m always shutting the app to talk for half a second then spending five minutes trying to find where I was - when a chapter ends, the automatic continuation skips a chapter and I have not realized that before and missed big plot points by skipping entire chapters. Even though those are the only things I’ve seen, they’re driving me crazy. I am NOT one to complain and be negative, but I really want this fixed. Why bother having a pause button if I can’t use it??

I'm a real person. And this is a really good app. I've loved reading ever since I was about 8 years old but the hassle of carrying around the books would make me not want to read. Then I found this app. I'm 14 now and this app has made my life great. Books download in less than a second. You can pick from loads of genres. And people on the app give honest reviews. I recommend this app 100000000% - Honest rewiewr😝

So, I haven’t read a book or listened to an audio yet. However I am amazed at the number of selections. What a golden opportunity to read the classics I have missed up to this point.

The app is ok it works fine and everything. My problem is that it has terrible books I mean like can't you have a nice fantasy book like court of nightfall or Vampire girl? But nooo, the app has things like the courtship of miles. What is that?!?? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😡😡 The only reason I gave it two stars is beacuse it has famous classics like The time machine and the war of worlds, plus the app works ok.

I was reading a book and now I can’t even open it. The app crashes.

Way too many ads

Stupid Spellcheck!!! No Clarke No Asimov? No McCaffery? NO HARRY POTTER???

It is an amazing app

$10 down the drain. Still getting ads a few times a minute. Very upsetting.

Perfect and full of surprises

I use to love this app! But every time I click my library the app crashes. Would give 5 stars if you can update and make it more stable.

It works very well. Thanks for such a fine tool.

So far every book I have downloaded has a point where it shuts down. Then the book must be accessed from the library again and I have to hunt for my place. In many books the menu for chapters does not work. There is no way to mark your place and you cannot count on the page being available next time the app is opened. For the past 2 days no book will open, the app just closes after I click on a downloaded title in my library. 🙄😥

Your recent update makes the app close each time i try to open a book. Can’t contact developer either for same reason.

After the last update, I can no longer open anything. Trying to open a book results in an immediate app crash.

The app crashes when you access any book

Lots of great books to choose from. Many of the books have no description, and the highlighting tool is a bit clunky. If not for that it would be a 5 star easy. This was a much better app. Recently, however, it has started crashing. You are in the middle of a page and it just shuts down. If it does not get fixed soon I will probably delete it and try the Gutenberg app.

I used to love this app. Easy to use and I could bookmark, turn pages and easily transfer the titles to my iPhone books. It now has been "upgraded and improved" until it is clunky, inefficient and annoying. The sign in feature is absurd. Why fix something that wasn't broken.

I really would rate it five stars but every two minutes or so the app would crash and at first it took me ten minutes to find an actual page of the book.

No search, no page-down, no illustrations, no way to set bookmarks, in fact no menus, commands, nor help. Some typos (which might be in the originals, idk). But lots of enjoyable reads.

I love the books and the amount of books available to read!

I really enjoy this app and would love to give it 5 stars but I can’t. I agree with some of the other complaints such as no way to mark your page, etc. But my bigger issue is that this app crashes about every 10 minutes!! I even deleted it and reinstalled the app. Still the same. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to be reading a story and have the app crash so often? Not only that when I reopen the book I literally have to flip through almost 200 pages to get back to where I was just reading! Ugh!! It seems to me that it needs more frequent updates. The last one being 5 months ago and no one has addressed these complaints yet? I’m going to look for something different if this isn’t resolved very soon. It’s just ridiculous!!!

Use it all time

This app was very annoying to use it is hard to get out of one book because if you scroll down to the end of the story the whole thing repeats also all the books are very unknown and haven't been heard of they were confusing and it was hard to get out of a story.

When I first started using this app a few years ago, it was wonderful, and I used it regularly. Then, after a couple of years of not accessing it regularly, during which time there were at least a couple of updates, I started using it again, only to discover to my disappointment that it has become very clunky and difficult to use, as follows: 1) the choice of having a white or dark page appears to be unavoidably tied to whether you have chosen to scroll or turn pages -- why on earth would they set it up like that? 2) As with almost any other book-reading app (iBooks, Kindle, Nook) I used to be able to bookmark my place in any given book so that I could be in the midst of reading more than one book at a time; for some unfathomable reason, this app no longer offers that functionality. 3) When I try to scroll down through my library of downloaded titles, I cannot get beyond a couple of rows without having the app quit on me. 4) There is no longer any way of telling how many pages remain in the book. There may be other flaws that I haven't discovered yet, but these are plenty to be going on with. Very disappointed and frustrated. The two stars are for being an app that provides access to a vast library of classic books; zero stars for functionality.

I’m sooo impressed at the breadth of this collection! And it’s all free!

Tried several times to register. Used my Apple account (nope), tried two other email addresses (nope, nope). Its registration page has no Enter button at all, doesn’t respond to the keyboard. It has a button to register via a Facebook. That’s a Nope from me. Bizarre app on iPad. Has incorrect description of one of the first books I selected. Kind of a mess.

The app crashes as soon as you try to open the book to start reading it!! Every time!!! Please fix this soon. The app on my iPad works great but not on the iPhone???

It crashes every time I open a book. The ads work just fine, though!

Have used this app for years through many changes and versions. It is now the worst! Books do not open...at all. Tap the link for support and it takes you to a 403 Forbidden web page. I’ve even waited and come back to it in hopes they would get things fixed. Nope. That’s the new name of this app.... Nope.

This used to be a good app, a long time ago. Now it's barely functional. Crashes all the time, can't download or open certain listed books, can't register or login (literally nothing happens when I try), FAQ button leads to a 404 error page, loses my progress in books...there is no end to the problems. Spare yourself the trouble and find a different app. This one is no longer worth the slightest bit of attention.

I absolutely love this app! It is very useful for school and other things too! I had to read a book for school as a class novel and I looked up the book on this very book app and I got it. S9 that’s why I love it and I rate it good!

Any book I try to open immediately causes the app to crash.
