Comments on Barnes & Noble NOOK for Android

★★★★★ ManeLioness · Dec 18, 2025

LOVE IT!! Just wish I could buy my books on this app instead of the website as well as transfer my B&N books to my phone library instead.

★★★★★ Linda Massler · Nov 8, 2025

I love my Nook, Nook app, and Barnes and Noble. Instead of carrying heavy books when I travel, I take my Nook. My "book" is with me everywhere I go.

★★★★☆ Blayne Bettes · Nov 17, 2025

This app is absolutely wonderful! The only problems I have are when reading The Walking Dead Compendiums, When I zoom in and move the screen to the panel I need a closer look at it, it would zoom out and go back to its original format. I find this really frustrating as I have to keep trying to zoom in and slide the screen to the panel that I can't see the words on. Apart from that, I have no problems with it, this is the first book I read on the app!

★☆☆☆☆ Janie Valdez · Mar 10, 2026

I wish the app allowed me to sort my library from oldest to newest. The ability to follow my favorite authors and get alerts when they release a new book or one of their books goes on sale would also be nice. This is something the Kindle app offers. I'm trying to stay loyal to BN, but man, y'all are making it hard to.

★☆☆☆☆ Mano · Dec 20, 2025

Wanted to use it on my Samsung, without buying a reader as 4 I purchased since B&N started nook all died, first thing I tried to do is buy a book, popup, you can't purchase with this app ???

★☆☆☆☆ LindaBP · May 17, 2026

All I want to do is install a Barnes and Noble Nook App on my computer and I have tried and tried but can't do. I have it on my phone, but I want it on my computer.

★☆☆☆☆ Diana Hustad · Nov 4, 2025

I can no longer read any of my 1000+ nook books on my computer!!! I tried to read off of the website, but it's impossible!! Always logging me out, and then it does not save your page and there is no page #'s. How is there no page #'s??? You can't go right to a page that you were read on you phone or table. It's like you not care if anyone can read the books. I will have to start buying for amazon now!!!
