I haven’t got this app yet but do you have to hook up with your library
Annoyed 1/5
By NCARNY24
This app on the iPhone or iPad is about a useful as a car without gas.
Love using it But........ 4/5
By Ame.2
I really love using this app on my phone. It is super easy to navigate and I like syncing it to Goodreads. The ONE thing that bothers me is that there isn’t an option for me to buy kindle books via the app. I can use my Kindle, but not my phone and unfortunately carrying around my Kindle isn’t always an option. Please include a way to buy books on the iPhone app and not just look at samples! I don’t want to have to log in separately just to get a book.
Love...but 4/5
By Ssduggan
I love this app. I like that it syncs with my Good Reads account in addition to my Amazon account. BUT I wish there was a way to sort by read and unread books, especially since one authors update their books and that makes them fall under Recent.
I love the Kindle app, but... 3/5
By Jamsterus
I hate how I now must go to Amazon and purchase a book before I can download it to my library. Yes, I can browse (“Discover”) within the app, but the purchasing process is now cumbersome. Often, I will want to buy a book, but change my mind by the time I go to Amazon and try to search for it. Fix this, please, please, please. Three stars due to this problem.
Frequent shopper lee 1/5
By Lrslowtrot98
The latest revision is very disappointing. Home page is window dressing and useless (to me) advertisement. Checkout page doesn’t offer shipping options. Payment options don’t offer Apple Pay. I’d get the previous version back if I could.
new features idea 4/5
By prettypeaches
I prefer using the kindle app for reading, it is updated more frequently and feature-robust.
Some things that would be helpful: more highlight colors to choose from. And the ability to change page with directional arrows when iPad is connected to a keyboard.
Glitch— noticed some books that have been newly purchased (from amazon) have a missing or incorrect book cover. It cannot be fixed by logging out and reinstalling the app. Also checked to see if book could be “updated” which is not the case here. Can there please be an easier way to fix this? It’s unsightly.
Update 1/5
By hiramfoster
The update doesn’t ever complete. It’s been days now.
The good and bad 3/5
By Skythe wilder
The app is nice for downloading and reading on the go. You can adjust font size and lighting so you don’t strain your eyes. There are a few things I wish they would fix on this app and on my fire tablet. One being the ability to move or separate my books into different categories and folders. It gets on my nerves when book #1 is at the bottom of the list while book #2 is at the very top and book #3 is in the middle. I like organization when it comes to my books. Another is when I switch from my 7th gen fire tablet to my IPhone, the bookmarks are not always where there supposed to be. I end up looking for the last page I read.
Love books!! 4/5
By Jackydianne
Love this app and so easy to find something to read! I am, however, an avid reader and wish it would let me know all thee books I have read so I don’t check it out twice. Only realize halfway through a book sometimes that I have read it before! Argh. Otherwise it’s great and the kindle unlimited is so worth the price!!
Addicted 5/5
By Dancer_55369
This game is soooooo lit
Ruined it 2/5
By Cool dude 24
Why? Why did you make the smallest font size so big. The kindle app used to allow me to read in public without fear people where reading over my shoulder but not anymore. And you just sprung this on me without any warning, or without putting it in the patch notes. I don’t know what I am going to do.
This app is better on android 2/5
By Megaawesome2!
On an android device you can select a robot voice to read the book to you. I liked to do this when I’m mowing the yard are trying to sleep at night however on the iphone or iPad doesn’t seem to be working. I hope they can fix this.
Utterly horrible on the iPhone X (ie, notch blocking content) 1/5
By Kirthan
So....Amazon, I have loved reading with the kindle app for quite some time. The iPhone X has been out for quite a few months now, yet reading graphic novels is a lesson in frustration: the notch literally BLOCKING dialogue and sections of panels (until I flip or fiddle with the device). I have always been very impressed by the Kindle app....so is there some way of fixing this? Such as...oh, full screen zoom in/zoom out, or simply positioning the panels so they aren’t blocked? Please fix this, until then I wish I could give zero stars.
Great app! 5/5
By lizzie842772
Is it possible to have the volume buttons act as page turners as it does for android kindle? Love the app otherwise!
Ok 3/5
Would love to be able to free write/annotate my work
Absolutely Awesome 5/5
By Anita "No Diva"
When my Kindle needs to be recharged and I want to keep reading, I can.
No shortcut for Kindle on iPad home screen 1/5
By jnfweber
This says it all. Apple monopoly forces me to sign in to apple Store to read Kindle titles I bought from Amazon. Sort of like the pissing match between Microsoft, Verizon, and Samsung over a Windows 10.1 phone. Oh, the joys of unbridled Capitalism,
Money 3/5
By ITS ME FOR :( lonley
Is it money to read the books?
Only one flaw 4/5
By Caterosarrows
I love this app. It’s made reading a lot easier for me, since I have a larger book library and wasn’t really able to read it on my phone without a small headache. It runs great, it’s super snappy, and it isn’t a battery drainer.
All that said, I do have one big complaint. I wish that amazon would update this app to make it possible to purchase books directly through the app. Especially since I never know when I might finish a book and will need to find another. I have this same issue with another app. I just think it would be better overall to have this feature.
RBdigital 4/5
By Maggie 148
I love this app. It would be nice if you could put a rating on the books. Christian. Or language is bad. Some authors you only have 1 book. And a lot of authors or not in your library... and some you can listen to a series and then you have to check out the book. I do like this app.
Meggie 5/5
By Dino_2006
Loved it! Read Harry Potter! You can buy books at affordable prices. And sit and enjoy your favorite books
Can’t sign in! 3/5
By KitySprinklz
I tried signing in on my phone, using the correct password and username, than it asked me to do it again but do the robot test thing. I did it and it said there was an error. I never got past that point so I couldn’t read on the app on my phone ):.
Book Organizer 3/5
By vabchterry
Kindle needs a way we can create folders and organize our books. Right now you can only organize or sort by title or author. We need to be able to create our own ways such as Cooking or gardening, etc.
New update crashes 1/5
By Ella_E923
I can’t even open this app anymore. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and every time I try to read, it crashes. One star until they fix this.
I decided I don't need a Kindle right now 5/5
By jyylong
My beloved Kindle I carried everywhere with me, but alas one day I lost it. I left it somewhere, either at a Walmart or a guest house.
Either way it's gone for now. I plotting how to get my next Kindle and the specs I wanted it to have when I downloaded the Kindle app to continue reading whilst having no Kindle.
Turns out the app has pretty much replaced the Kindle for me.
Granted I'm still a huge fan of the paper white version, for now I am satisfied with the Apple app, thank you

I use to be able to share quotes from ebooks I’m reading but not anymore. This is the message I’m seeing…”Error preparing Post. Unable to prepare post for sharing. Please try again later.”
Can’t put books in my wish list from the app any more 1/5
By Blondie761
I used to be able to save titles to my wish list from the app. Now I have to go over to amazon and remember the exact title, find the book and do it from there. What a pain! The app also totally drains my battery on my iPad Pro 9.7. For some reason even though the book is downloaded it is treated as if it is being streamed. Please fix soon!
Books 4/5
By So Sari
I really enjoy using this Kindle app. My only complaint is that it should have an easier way to delete books from the library once they have been read.
Only issue is the audio companion feature 4/5
By lanieann7
Kindle is my go-to Reading app. I buy quite a few of the audiobook companions; however, they only work about half of the time. The other half, they are not showing in the book at all. I verify that they are “companion” because I know some are not. I have searched the web and done fixes advised - syncing, removing and reinstalling the app, resending the book via my Amazon account, deregistering the app/my iPad, etc. Still...sometimes the audio just won’t “attach” to the book. I can see them in my Audible app, though.
Great...but... 4/5
By Alchemist Blues
Would be great to be able to scroll through definitions and/or see more of them from the initial highlighting, so one wouldn’t have to click on the definition to go to another page and then have to close that page to get back to the book.
Thanks.
Won’t delete a book!!! 1/5
By Lady Tre1980
I downloaded a book, from a website, not Amazon, and I can’t seem to delete the book! Help please!
Terribly Inferior App; However, Kindle Store Rates A+ 1/5
By anndv
Every once in a while, I get a pop-up asking me to rate the Kindle app again. In the interest of brevity, I deleted my former rants about this app.
I love Amazon’s Kindle store. Its prices and selection are second to none. Now the app, that’s a different story. I have a real hate-on for Kindle’s software and I believe it to be an extremely inferior product.
Kobo allows readers to permanently delete books from their library/archive reading app by pressing the book icon and touching the permanently delete button that pops up. So simple! You’re reading a book, decide that you hate it, and right on the spot- delete it permanently. Kindle forces you to leave the Kindle app, go to the Amazon home page on your browser, click on Manage Your Content and Devices, type in the name of the author or title you wish to permanently delete and then click the delete button. Who designed this outdated, inferior software.
If you have a lot of collections/ folders, the app keeps crashing when you try to scroll down beyond a certain point.
iBooks lets readers search for books under their programmed categories- Mysteries, Suspense, History, etc. With Kindle, you have to create your own genre collection and then manually add every single relevant book yourself. You can’t simply think “I’m in the mood for a romance book” and then search for them unless you’ve created the folder and added the books yourself.
Needless to say I hate this app but I put up with it because I love the Kindle book store. It’s worth the aggravation but I wish Jeff Bezos would get his act together and hire some decent programmers. So bottom line, get the app.
Edited May/2018: When will Amazon get it right? Over the past two weeks, my Kindle app started crashing again, a lot! However, I could still read books in between crashes. Now, I have been unable to read my books for the past two days because the screen has started freezing and stays frozen. I rebooted my iPad, I deleted the app and reinstalled it a few times, I started deleting books because I have a large archive, I tried various things in the settings and NOTHING works. The app opens, the books appear, and then nothing. Well, there is something, a nice still photo of a list of some of my books. This is so frustrating because I love my Kindle books. All I can say is, if you have a large archive, prepare to have major problems and prepare to be ignored by Amazon.

App has been crashing a LOT last couple of weeks.
Best update EVER!!!! 5/5
By Racheli30
I can now return my kindle unlimited book directly from the kindle app. There is no longer a 2 step process. This is just what I needed. Thank you!!
How is this an improvement? 2/5
By California 1234567
How is this an improvement? It’s hard to believe but this version is even more difficult to exit the book and return to the list. What is wrong with an “X” that always shows? The list shows fewer books than before. Too much ‘white’ space.
There should be an option to hide books in the ALL so books already read don’t show. The list just gets longer and longer. I like the way Books by same author stack in the Nook app and series books show up in order.
Great read! 5/5

Cannot purchase a book from IPhone! 1/5
By ollalichi
This is frustrating me, I cannot purchase or seem to sync with my iPhone. I have a Kindle and use kindle unlimited in it but none of it works on my phone :-(
fine. pls make some improvements 4/5
By Mscocolat
1) cant we have an easier way to group books? drag and drop? library loans automatically go into a library folder? same w samples = automatically go into a samples folder. EVERY single book in one big list is crazy.
2) pls dont send me a letter every time a loan ends, and then i have to delete the letter, and confirm i want to delete the letter. some of have hand pain and/or carpal tunnel and those actions are literally a pain. pointless.
Crashing with new update 3/5
By Lclaz
I read everyday, love this app but with the last update my iPad freezes and crashes.
Like it when it’s not freezing up or downloading 2/5
By yupikwolf87
I can’t believe how slow the app is when verifying the account so it can download the books. Wouldn’t be so bad but I can’t read a downloaded book while it’s processing. Come on! It’s 2018! You have made bundles of money off of us Bezos! Put some back into the server hardware...
New app causes pages to freeze 1/5
By Winder Girl
Loved my kindle app. Since new update, screen freezes and can’t change pages. Sometimes it lets me reduce page sizes and I can force it to the next page but when full size, the page freezes again. Messes up my iPad too and have to reboot to get it to work. So sad! Miss the great functionality.
Ok reader. The search function is not good. 1/5
By Jayhawk62
I have tried multiple searches on several occasions. Results rarely have anything to do with my search terms.
Rtl support 2/5
By Mohamad sallal
I have kindle oasis it works fine on rtl books. But not on this app. I have many rtl books on my shelf cannot read on this app
Won’t even recognize my user and password 1/5
By Fairytale0724
Multiple attempts to login so I could listen to some of the cd’s I purchased before they get here. Had to reset my password. Wouldn’t recognize my amazon username or password or mobile number. Worthless. I’ll just wait for the cd’s and rip them to my iTunes. So disappointed.
Great - but has a new bug to fix 4/5
By dmm227
If you want your app to crash, go to Community and try to rate your books. Aside from that, I love the app. In some ways, it’s better than my kindle itself (I have the first paperwhite kindle).
Doesn’t show books purchased 1/5

App is 💩 on older devices 1/5

It used to actually open books a year ago. Got a 5S on iOS 11. Haven’t been able to open anything in a long time.
