I have a Pixel 9 pro XL, when I buy books they glitch out. I can't read like 10 random pages and when I get to the pages it kicks me out of the book, this is in 10 different spots. I have to skip over this section, who wants to skip parts of the book you are reading. Nook support has done nothing for 15 days except tell me to turn off the page turn animation. I need these books fixed or the app fixed. I have hundreds of books and can't read them. this needs to be fixed. Very disappointed in you.

I loved Nook; I have over 1000 titles. However, I can only think that B&N no longer wants my business. I still believe this to be true. I still have the "stuck pages" issue- like it will from 15 to 17, and only rebooting the app will get them unstuck again. I bow have a spinning circle on every book, and resigning in and deleting and redownloading does not fix it. tech support offers no other recourse. If you cannot support your app, let me download the books to a working app, please.

I wanted to support Barnes and Noble, but this app has lots of problems. The page turning looks cool, but if you go back to the last page, when you flip forward it skips pages and you have to keep trying to get it back on track. The time estimates are off and didn't adjust. It would say that I had 30+ minutes left in a chapter that took 5 minutes. I couldn't highlight anything. The dictionary routes you to Google or Wikipedia. Overall not great, but I was able to read the book.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Just a quick tip: make sure your Android version is up to date, as some features work best with Android 13 or higher. You might also want to try changing the page animation settings—just go to App Settings > Reader > Reading Animation. If you need any more help, feel free to email service@bn.com with the details.
