I went with a Kobe e-reader for features for the price. It's still great, but this app is awful. It's stuck at loading the library and no books show up. I tried everything customer support said, multiple times. No luck. It's worked in times past and is okay then. But these sync issues happen often. When I check out or buy a new book it often doesn't appear. (I've tried repairing my account, repeatedly. It doesn't work).

Update 8/6: app is now working properly. Customer service was great with responding to my email & providing updates. 7/31: I love kobo for the audio book selection, but all of a sudden I can't download any audiobooks and the app doesn't offer a stream option. I reached out to customer service. I was told it was a known issue they were working on and to do troubleshooting things I had already done. That was on Wed and it is now Monday and I haven't heard anything back. I hope it gets fixed soon.

I have reached out, spoken to a person, they don't seem to understand the words I say or type, and keep asking me things over and over., like they only read from a script and don't understand English. Very disappointed. having so many issues. Can't even download an audiobook to listen to it, so annoying. Can't download anything. Seems to be a consistent waste of money. MMaygo to another app. Not that great.
