Impossible to log in
I have spent 4 days trying to log in. It says to log in with FNAC but won't accept the FNAC password and won't let me log in as a new user either. Going round in circles. Poor experience. Update: they reached out to me and even they can't understand it. So they have now escalated to a developer. I've upped my rating to 3 stars because their chat service was open and very helpful at 6 am on a Monday morning.

You’re downloading an ecosystem, not an app
The app is pretty good, and more importantly they have the whole ecosystem of ebooks, physical readers, and apps on other devices. A fine choice, especially if you object to Jeff Bezos. One quibble is that it does a poor job of syncing where you are in the book across different platforms. Whenever I start to read, it offers to sync to the most recently read page, even if I've only ever read it on this app and there's nothing to sync. And if I have made progress on another reader, it doesn't actually sync even if I click Yes. TBF, Kindle is only a little better in that regard.

After years of using Kobo I noticed something that's rral nonsense: you can download books and read them you're offline - but only if you started the app while you were online. The app won't start if you're offline...

I love my kobo Clara, but this app on Android is god-awful. There's a bug in this app where if you read past a few pages, after a while, it resets and sends you back to the page you started on. I've tried restarting and even reinstalling the app, but it doesn't fix it. I DO NOT recommend this app to anyone using Android!

It is a scam. You cannot read purchased and dowloaded books in airplane mode.

The app won't open without the internet. Very unfortunate because reading on the plane is impossible. Is this a mistake?
