{"game_intel_data":{},"featured_reviews":[{"content":"ANOTHER UPDATE: I have a new request- I appreciate the option to customize word and line spacing, justify text or not, all that. It would be really nice to have an option to eliminate margins. It seems to vary by book but a lot of mine show up as very tight columns with wide margins. I like tiny text and I&#39;d like to have it fill all the way to the edge of the screen. thank u &lt;3. UPDATE: whoever fixed the annotation issue i love you and i hope you get a raise. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Came to the app store to find a new reader. Glad to see I&#39;m not the only one who&#39;s having trouble with the new version- hopefully they&#39;ll revert it!! Here are some more suggestions: -the app deletes books off the device to save space. it&#39;s always done this but with the new version, it&#39;s not always able to re-download them- even if the epub is saved local on the files app! i&#39;ve lost annotated copies. please fix this, and add a way to turn off the feature in the first place. i want all my books saved local. -every time you open the annotations list, it takes you back to the top. I&#39;d like to be able to scroll through my annotations, click one and read it, and then open the list again and be where I left off so I don&#39;t have to scroll down and find it again. It&#39;s so annoying-i have hundreds of annotations in some books. the original version held your place in the list. Everything else I&#39;ve seen described in other reviews. you dont even have to go through the trouble of fixing all this just take it back to the previous version pleaseeeeee please","version":"5.1","date":"2025-08-27T00:00:00Z","rating":4,"app_id":364709193,"username":"ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ fix the books app","title":"august 2025 new feature request","country":"US","tags":["updates_and_maintenance","feature_requests","offline_functionality","error_handling_and_messages"],"review_id":13067044009},{"content":"I have been addicted to using Apple Books ever since I purchased my iPad. It is smooth and has a simple interface, unlike other apps. Most importantly, it fits perfectly with the Apple ecosystem. However, there are some bugs that have existed for a long time without being fixed. Among them, the most annoying and frustrating one, also the most persistent one, is that notes made on highlighted texts in PDF files usually get lost after the file is closed and reopened while the highlights remain. It happens most frequently (actually, almost certainly) to the notes at the beginning of those files, although I am not sure whether that is because they are in the beginning of the files or they are the earliest notes in the files because obviously I tend to read the files from the first pages to the last. I contacted Apple Support regarding this problem. After recording my complaint, the agent suggested a phone call with their staff member. However, I have serious phone anxiety, therefore I preferred communication via text or email, never via phone calls. The agent said that the only available way was through phone calls, therefore I gave up. I really appreciate this app, it helped me read so many books, for school and for fun. But the loss of notes really annoys me. Please fix this problem.","version":"5.2.1","date":"2025-10-05T00:00:00Z","rating":4,"app_id":364709193,"username":"Duke of Bruce","title":"Love it, but…","country":"US","tags":["performance_and_bugs","customer_support","feature_requests"],"review_id":13225072742},{"content":"The very first iBook app was the best.  It was very easy to set up categories of books and then drag the books to the bookshelf.  The page turn feature was great as was the range of fonts and character sizes.  Many supposed upgrades later and all those wonderful features are gone or so cheapened to be disgusting.  If I want to read a book with two pages shown, the largest font size is so small to be almost impossible  to read.  Jump up a character size and you end up with a continuous scrolling book with a character size way too big.  I could go on and on, but unless the developers are paying attention, it’s just a waste of time….. I do not like audible books, my mind doesn’t work that way. I fully understand that apple makes way more profits from audiobooks and music and games.  But I have been a loyal apple customer for a long time. Print books are the best, but I would have to buy a bigger home.   Please, please, please fix this!  Otherwise I may have to start looking elsewhere.  Kindle, which used to be the worst book app is now way ahead of apple. You are very close to being at the bottom of my book app reading choices.","version":"4.4","date":"2022-12-22T00:00:00Z","rating":1,"app_id":364709193,"username":"Water chemgal","title":"Biggest
