Sora, By OverDrive Education Customer Service

Sora, by OverDrive Education Positive Reviews

So good but one thing 🤗…..So I would say this app is one of the best reading apps for students as a student myself students that are reading this you should use it I am in something for school for reading and this app goes great with it and my friend also loves it she is right beside me so I am going to let her type a little Hi so what I want to type about it is it has a little problem but I hope the creators will reply to this and say they fixed it. Ok back to me anyways the Problem is that whenever it says hold for two weeks I go back to the app in two weeks and I still don’t get the book. Is there a reason this is happening? Any way still highly recommend this app byeeeee💌🖍️😄😀😝✌️✊!!!.Its so fun so funVersion: 7.3.0

Love it but not waitingI am a student who loves the endless catalog of books on Sora but most of my favorite series have a long wait time. So I think what would make Sora better is that three copies of a book are the same price as one for the popular series so that all the books have a more even wait time instead of diary of a wimpy kid having a 2 month wait when a less popular book has only a 2 week wait..MadolovyVersion: 8.0.0

Great app must dowloadI love this app and I use it a lot. Some people complain on their reviews that they have to wait 6 weeks for a book but that’s because the books you check out on this app is shared with hundreds of people. There is a huge variety of books to choose from and genres like romance, fantasy, manga, fiction, and so much more. Not only are there normal books there are also audio books. My whole class loves it and it’s great odor trips or when you can’t go to the library very often. YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THIS AMAZING APP 🤩📖😁.Yay emojiVersion: 7.1.3

YOU NEED TO GET ITMy hole class loves it and we will beg to read on it. For the people that have issues with it sry but I LOVE it 😍😍🤩🤩 I have read like 55 books with no problems and it’s probably just a internet issue or something and don’t be sry about making us get it. Also whoever made this app I LOVE IT don’t feel bad about the glitch in there system. PS I am in 4th grade so I LOVE It to right a report on it so don’t worry mcs Elementary school has NO bad things about Sora..You live you learnVersion: 6.4.1

Good at First but has some issuesI got this on my phone because I like reading and I couldn’t always go to my schools library, and at first it was great. I personally don’t mind the 2 book limit and the loan time isn’t an issue because I read really fast, however now when I place a loan for a book and I’m the only one in line it says unknown wait time. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don’t know if that was intended but I think I’ve had a hold on a book for about 2 months! If there is something to be done about this that would be great!.Anonymously3487Version: 7.1.3

Sora is amazingI love sora and have used it for years. I don’t read books, I listen to audiobooks. I have finished hundreds and have had only a few problems. First, I think that you should be able to speed up past 3x speed because I would love to listen at 4 or even 5 times speed. (Yes, I know I sound insane) Also some books just cut out at parts so maybe look into that. Overall, great app..VuvguvfyvguvgybyggyVersion: 6.4.2

🫢I think the idea is pretty good . I would love though if there were more copies of each book for example every month my reading teacher picks two books that most of the grade has to read. A lot of people borrow the books on Sora but you usually have to wait along time for them sometimes even after the month is over .but yeah that’s all bye.Estie✅🥐😀Version: 6.3.0

Good, but the holds?Now, i love this app but, i have a problem that CAN be fixed. HOLDS! holds are annoying and they don’t serve any purpose! This is an E BOOK. not a physical copy of a book that you have to have a wait on or buy! I think its silly because technically once you have the book in digital form, shouldn’t you have unlimited copies? Unless i’m missing something and i’m just being dumb. Please take the no holds into consideration!.F.u.n.!Version: 7.2.0

Great Book App!Sora is a great app for all ages to read any genre. My school library doesn’t have all the books I like, but that’s not Sora’s fault. I’m honestly a Wattpad reader but I like the books you can find on Sora. One thing though, I know it’s a library but why a waitlist? You can’t just individually copy?.BlackishfanVersion: 6.0.0

I Loved it, but then love started dying downI loved readin off of sora because i can read a book before actually getting the book, but then all of a sudden i tried borrowing a book but the thing said for me to sign in again but this time my district im in isnt on the list for some reason. Im hoping you could help this out and so i can start reading my books i want to read..HWilkes@04Version: 6.3.0

Dumb 1 star reviewsWHY ARE PEOPLE GIVING A 1 STAR TO THIS APP AND THEY SAY, “I hate reading.” Bro, do you know how this impacts the company and the overall rating. Also I recommend connecting to your local library instead of a school library since it has more books,.🏒😇😂😅🏳️‍🌈🕵🏿‍♀️😃😄Version: 6.3.0

This is one of my favorite appsI’ve used it for the audiobooks but it’s much better than reading and get to experience it by listening not just reading I love the app and I hope I can inspire you to try it.IjsmxVersion: 6.4.2

It’s goodIt’s great I use it for school and battle of the books but I don’t get the wait list when the books are online I recommend if you don’t want to pay for a book app and your school provides it.Bubblegum:3Version: 6.4.0

Very Good appI love this app especially since it has most of the books I want to read and most of the time the books are available.RiceinibizaVersion: 6.4.3

!!This is the only way I can read a book and an interesting one I just wish they had more options for my age.Andebl004Version: 7.0.0

Pretty goodOk, I’m a kid who uses this app in school and there is one big problem that needs to be fixed. I wanted to check out diary of a wimpy kid and I realized that it wasn’t in the app, but then my friend checked out the very next day, but my app was up to date with the latest version. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM..A kid in elementary schoolVersion: 6.4.4

OmgI looove this app and use it every day for audiobooks. my school library bought 100s of books for sora and it’s super helpful how you can assign books. the only thing is i wish it was supported with Siri so you can tell Siri to play a book on sora..DocivjfnejskcovjrbcVersion: 6.4.1

Good appThe app is pretty good. The books though, are not for everyone. The books are for kids in grades 2-4. If you are older, like me you might find it hard to find books you are actually interested in..Cool kitty catsVersion: 3.0.2

Great, and why bad-mouth it?Sora is a great app with great books and a wide variety between the books, so why bad-mouth it? Maker of Sora, do not listen to these people bad-mouthing your app, and keep on doing a great job giving people books. P.S. could there PLEASE be more Star Wars books?.DJRbotVersion: 5.2.0

Awesome!This app is awesome and lets me read my book in peace. Recommend to anyone! 👍👍.Lover101😍Version: 5.0.0

I Can Read During Quarantine!!!This app is the best! I have had it for a while with my school but never really used it. Once my school and the public libraries closed I couldn’t read any new books! I started playing around with the app seeing which books they had and reading/listing to samples. This got me borrowing books such as Harry Potter. It was fun listing to books while doing other stuff like painting or cleaning! I admit the login proses was a bit confusing because you have to pick you’re school board, but other then that haven't had any issues. Would recommend this app if you aren’t able to get real books, although I do prefer real books 😝..KanataDadVersion: 4.0.0

Not badThis app was awesome when it worked. I can’t log back in and I can’t read any book. I will say the selection of books is good..Not game masterVersion: 3.0.2

Sora, by OverDrive Education Negative Reviews

Sora: an app for books that’s ACTUALLY amazingPpl are saying it’s bad when it’s not??? it’s actually SO good. i’ve given up on reading online after my favorite sites were taken down, stopped being funded, etc. of course, i don’t mean that i’ve stopped reading AT ALL, but rather on my phone. to be honest, i actually dislike reading online. but the formatting of this app is easy to use, good-looking, and overall enjoyable to use! it’s easy to get the hang of it. there are lots of different kinds of books here, from popular ones to even manga! and Sora has a lot of manga! the only problem i have with Sora is the fact that you can only “borrow” books for 20 days…but whatever! i still love this app. i CANNOT thank my best friend enough for telling me about this app, and sharing her account with me!!! ilysm <3.MontsamVersion: 6.0.0

Doesn’t workLong story short, THIS APP IS BUGGY and shouldn’t be used. This app is just horrible. Every single time I check out a book and begin to read, it never saves the spot I was in. I constantly spend so much of my reading time just trying to find my place. Also a couple times the book I’m reading will just close automatically and then bam I have to find my page yet again. Would not recommend..Tate KornVersion: 6.0.0

Wouldn’t recommend thisFirst of all I wish you didn’t need to be in a school to get this or be a student because some schools don’t have sora. Secondly when I tried to login to this library I go to that use’s sora it was in POSSIBLE to login to! It was just a hustle and a waste of my time! For the people who can login it might be a good app so I rate this a 2 star!.MADDIE_DA_DOG!!!Version: 8.1.2

Sad book wormI’m very unsatisfied because I use to love this app but ever since it’s new update it has kicked me out of Sora! All I see is the guy in the cover while all the books I was reading were getting back to the library and that’s it I can’t take it I’m gonna delete this app in 4 days if don’t get better!😡.Book worm3444Version: 7.0.0

1 out of 10I started using sora a couple months ago and I immediately hated the app. I put a book on hold and it said the book would be available in two weeks, so I go back to sora in two weeks and it still said two weeks! Nothing is ever open or available and i’m over it..ShmelterlingVersion: 8.1.2

Can’t log in after most recent updateCan’t log in after most recent software update. It’s middle of summer break; can’t check out new ebooks, audiobooks or magazines. Can’t renew books. No one to check with at school bc: ITS SUMMER BREAK. Very disappointed. Hope my students are having more luck..SendagimanVersion: 6.2.0

What is being collected?Downloaded app but can't continue until I agree to Sora collecting information about me. No option to opt out, no details I could find letting me know what information they are collecting, storing, sharing, selling. Disappointed..Lightweight time wasterVersion: 6.3.0

Dismissive “support”Great when it works however it has been crashing all summer. After taking recommended steps for problems on the sora website I contacted sora and they were dismissive and no help. “Ask your teacher or tech support,” was the response?!?!.Circle fishVersion: 6.2.0

WHY'!!!!!!!!I use sofa on my computer all the time but on the iPad my passwords are NOT WORKING!!!!!! Do not get this app unless you know what you’re passwords are. The only reason I gave it stars is because I like it on my computer but still PASSWORDS!!!!!!!!!.🐢🐘🐘🦏🦘🐓🦞🐍🐢🦗🕷Version: 7.0.0

A dissatisfied customerI love to read, and Sora used to be a good resource for me as a student. That changed today. I was listening to an audio book this morning, but when I went back to the library section: my book was gone. Apparently, Sora just gave it away before my 14 days was up. I tried to see if it was a glitch or something I could fix, but that lead to the discovery that Sora doesn’t have any system to report problems. To their credit they do have a section on their website that helps with trouble shooting; a section that is in woeful need of some attention. The only solution that they provide under any of the trouble shooting categories can be boiled down to just knowing how a filtered search works. So, now I am here, on a two week wait list for a book I was already reading, writing a review. This is a ridiculous and redundant problem to even have, and the fact that this is my only way of having an issue even remotely noticed by anyone (Sora team or not) is beyond my comprehension..An Honest Reviewer :)Version: 8.0.2

Bookmarks won’t saveMy bookmark highlights DO NOT SAVE, so I constantly lose all my notes. It is extremely frustrating, to the point that I do not want to use Sora anymore because I can’t keep track of notes when they disappear from my book. I need these notes for classes. If it won’t save my notes, I won’t use the app..Anonymous1340Version: 3.0.6

What happened?This used to be my most used app, I read/listened to so many books but now they don’t have anything anymore. Like what, how can you not have any Orwell books or even something basic like Harry Potter? It’s pretty distressing what happened.KnightEstaitVersion: 5.0.4
