Updated Review

After my complain about the 7.2 version, customer service replied immediately and they released two more updates in a matter of 3 days. The App is now working swiftly and I am a happy reader once again. I love BookMate because I can find books in different languages and I can also upload my own.

Don’t bother extremely disappointing library.

I’ve been looking for an option that is Netflix for books for a long time and thought this might be the one.. this is not it. Every single book or audio book I’ve tried to access has been marked “this book is unavailable at the moment” with further clarification that “our contract with the copyright owner has expired”. The majority of their best seller section is unavailable. Their book of the week is unavailable. Most of the landing page that they choose to offer up as available option are unavailable..

GET. THIS. APP.

I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!! This is the best app ever!!! You NEED to get this app! I mean, if you read. The ONLY, onlyyy only problem with the app is that, it, sadly doesn’t show the page number, BUT! This app has like EVERY book in the world! I love this app! 😍 When ever my daughter gives that excuse, “Mom I forgot my book!” I give her that look and hold up my phone 😂 But she really likes the app too and I TOTALLY encourage you to GET. THIS. APP.

Not impressed with customer service.

I was excited to use my free Trial. Read a book I had been dying to read for quite some time. It wouldn’t let me stop the subscription to renew after the month without stopping my free trial so I left it alone. I finished the book I wanted to read and didn’t use the app much after that. Forgot to cancel the renewal since I hadn’t been in it, which I stated to them, and when I messaged them the SAME day that it renewed, they denied me a refund since “their rules don’t allow it.” No where in their FAQs does it say anything like that at all or anywhere else that I could see. I won’t recommend this app to anyone. Might as well just go buy the books if you’re going to get charged $10 every month and their “customer service” isn’t very customer oriented. Make sure you cancel in time otherwise they won’t do jack to help you out.

Five stars so hopefully others see this

This app is a scam. It’s malicious, and it’s sketchy as heck. When I signed up for the free trial, (DO NOT DO) it wouldn’t let me turn it off, but rather kept giving me different payment options. The only way I was able to get the subscription off was to delete the app and come back in. It’s scary, it’s not right. And the downloading of books always comes with viruses. I don’t recommend using this app, something isn’t safe about it.

Here’s what I want...

The fact that you let users upload there own books is amazing. But you’re not giving us the option to choose the publishers default fonts and alignment. The way the book is intended. You only give us left alignment and justified? Also where is the default font? My requests are pretty simple really. I love the app so hope you would consider this in the future updates.

The worst app I have ever paid for

First, it is actually impressive how Bookmate managed to have such a poor UX and app layout, when there are so many great UX designers out there! Looks like they’re competing for ‘the worst design’ prize, and successfully so. The app is hard to navigate, creating bookmarks is a nightmare, mails to support from the app just wont work etc. etc. Second, I have a paid full premium subscription, but can’t open any books anymore. Looks like there is a disconnect between my payment and my account. After digging through (unhelpful) FAQ, reinstalling and all sort of bending backwards to make it work, I am now sitting pretty and waiting for support to help me out.... Paid days are ticking, service not provided.

A lot of questions

Was reading book that I downloaded myself (not from the library)and suddenly got a message that I need to buy a premium to read this book. I actually have premium, so I check and it’s expired, but standard was still in place. Went back thinking that that I could read on, the book that I downloaded myself?!No they prompt me to buy premium. I got premium and canceled standard. Guess what - was billed for both standard and premium.Just opened case for refund for standard.Why I have standard and premium? Because years ago I got standard and then upgraded to premium for 4.99, had actually two items on my bill, but this year I don’t know what happened???

Need more audio books!

I absolutely love listening to audiobooks no matter where I go but unfortunately there is not too many choices. Would love to have more Classics preferably in English and from the Russian works as well. But whatever I was able to find was absolutely great!

Don’t go for it!0

I thought this was free. I saw that there was a “premium” app but I did not sign up for that. It’s only when you download the app to see what the book selections Are like and how the app works, do you find out that they are going to charge you $9.99 a month. Ridiculous. Immediately I decided to cancel this app. I copied their directions on how to cancel. I could not do this on my I Phone but I will not rest until this scam is canceled. Sorry for the 1star. It really should be zero stars. AND - guess what. They tell you to enter a name for the review and whatever you try to enter for a name, they tell you it’s already taken. I just went in and gave a word, not a name and that’s taken.
