  • No longer allows copy and paste

    I love this app so much until now. After stupidly updated the app, it no longer allows to copy and paste. I love to use google play books not only to read but also to help translating some parts of the book and copy/paste help a lot. Please have it back or allow us to go back to older version.

  • Chapter Bug

    Overall, I really like this app. However, every time I finish a chapter, the app doesn't seem to load the next. I have to close the app and reopen.

    I can’t read my book all the way through without paying! They lied to me!!!

  • Add Current Time Feature

    I love Google Playbooks app more than any of the popular reading apps. I really like its aesthetics, really appeals to me. However, biggest downfall is that it does not currently display the current time when reading. I personally like to indulge in a good book between 12-2 AM. But sometimes I get too into it and it’s like 3 AM. I would like to have the feature to display the current time. I think at the top middle of the screen would be the best. Also, I’m a programmer, so I know this is not hard to implement at all. If others do not want the time, then just make an if statement that if they tapped on the time, make it disappear from the screen. Tap the spot again to bring it back. You can also just implement a switch.

  • Not up-to-par

    Considering how many hacks work for Google, and how rich the company is, there is no excuse to NOT have a text-to-speech reader.

  • Google at its pettiest

    I just want to buy a book 😭 This is the weirdest request Google spitefully refuses to let me do and they give exactly zero elaboration, leaving me to assume they’re angry I got an Apple product after tiring of the “let whoever pays us make our OS as annoying and bloatware filled as they want” philosophy of Android that Google themselves did by choice. There’s a mention of buying on a website but I refuse to jump through hoops just because Google feels like being petty

    Your help section spouts nonsense about using voice over to read the book aloud for me since you guys are to lazy to include a read aloud button by default. You don’t even need to use your own voices. Just default to my device default it’s all set up. I hate having to flip pages I just want it to read the books I paid for to me while I’m busy working. Instead I have to read literally anything else with much better reader apps but that’s the part that is making me mad all the money I spent on my good play books library is going to waste since it doesn’t work for what I need it for at all with my iPhone. This alone is enough for 0 star from me but sadly you have to pick at least 1

  • Poor performance

    It seems after the latest update that it’s become unusable. It’s gone from great to agonizing on my iPad 6th gen. I’ve even reinstalled it to no avail.
