Comments on Kobo | eBooks & Audiobooks for Android

★★★★★ Jessica keller · Oct 11, 2026
I love this app. You get just as many spicy authors as Amazon audibles, but without "credits" and it's unlimited. Only downfall I've found is they need to have more complete series from bookwork aka TikTok authors. I love that fact I can read n listen to the books/series from these authors. As I like both. I keep track of where I'm at when reading n when I need to" adult" switch to the audible. Vs with the reading. It's great. I like how you can make suggestions too.
★★★★☆ 4_never_ sane · Oct 23, 2026
Amazing reading app so far, I've merely had it for about 2 days, however. I do kind of wish it had a better assortment of French literature and nonfiction however if you are (I assume like me) here for English literature, recently published literature or even to discover the newest pièces you'll be pleased. It works as well as any ereader plate-forme tbh.
★★★★★ Robert Smith · Oct 16, 2026
Same old news!!! Drop it and open a book on Kobo. On the couch or waiting in a line it's always right there on the phone.
★★☆☆☆ John David Stanway · Oct 18, 2026
Loses your page and can't sync with ereader... later ... it gets worse. I preordered a book that just got released. And it never showed up. It turns out the app can't do preorders, either. It just says you can.
★☆☆☆☆ Craig Ringer · Oct 3, 2026
It's ok, but needs a clearer way to filter for only DRM-free books. Edit: It is DELIBERATELY HIDING DRM status in listings now. Books shown on the Kobo web store as e.g. "EPUB3 (Adobe DRM)" only show "EPUB3" on the app. It's deliberately hiding DRM. I am furious, I just paid more than I usually would for a book because I chose to support DRM free books, then I found out it's DRM'd after all. I've demanded a book refund, but this isn't acceptable. Edit: LOL and meaningless bot review auto-reply.
★★☆☆☆ Brina L · Oct 8, 2026
Audiobook Feature is horrible. I pay for Kobo unlimited for the audiobooks, but every time I leave the app and go back in the audiobook starts from the beginning! That is so infuriating. And it ALWAYS happens.
