Why is it every time I exit this app and reopen it, it has reset all my reading settings: the background, the font, the spacing, etc? It's beyond aggravating to refix it every time before I can even read. And then not to mention it's been skipping parts of pages, so I'll end up having to scroll back, shrink down the page just so I can read the missing parts of the story it skipped over and half the time it's a whole flipping page (or two) it skipped over. This app used to be great.

10+/5 stars if possible, in the past. My frustration after the update on or about 9/21/24: I have to reset options every time I open the app, or go back to the current book from any other screen, even if still open. After the update on 11/9/24, the app now skips when I have it read aloud; it reads 1st sentence on a page & goes to next page, & repeats process. I listen as I drive, walk my dog, etc. I can't do that with skipped parts. Please fix this! These last 2 updates have not been good.

I've used this app for years, as one of my rereading apps and I've been satisfied. However lately everytime I open the app I can't see any images of the books. Only the titles of the books. It makes for a much longer process. It made me realize how much I recognize books my sight rather than my name. I would really appreciate it you fix this glitch or whatever this problem is? Thanks!!!

Sorry about this issue. Try turning the Wi-Fi off and back on, then refresh your library. To refresh/sync your NOOK Library, place your finger at the top of the screen and pull downward then remove your finger from the screen to refresh the app. If the issue remains, contact our support team at [email protected] with the details.
