Barnes & Noble Negative Reviews
I COULDN'T EVEN ORDER A BOOKIt's pretty user friendly and easy to use
BUT I HAVE A HEADACHE NOW BECAUSE I THEY DON'T TAKE APPLE PAY SO I THOUGHT "oh I have a couple of gift cards in my night stand that are just rotting away I can use those! " RIGHT! So I punch in the codes and it's more then enough to cover the cost so I go to check out AND I STILL CAN'T ORDER IT! So I go to the in store pickup thingy AND THE ONLY STORE THAT HAS THE BOOK IN STOCK IS A HOUR AWAY! so for about SIX HOURS I have been on a emotional roller coaster BECAUSE THIS APP WON'T LET ME BUY THE BOOK OF BILL WITHOUT GIVING THEM SOMETHING I DON'T EVEN HAVE!!!!
AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
(Please fix this PLEASE I want to read a triangles diary).Emma (>﹏<)Version: 3.13.1
Absolute garbageThis app is a piece of actual garbage. It’s slower than molasses and the UI is terrible. Trying to search is near impossible. The amount of forced restart needed to navigate is frustrating and makes the app nearly useless. Please tell me why you give me piece of information about the book except a synopsis. Maybe a synopsis is somewhere, but I shouldn’t have to search for a basic synopsis when I select a book to learn more. Sure, all the available formats, reviews, details on the ISBN, and related author testimonials are great to include. What if I might want to know what the heck the book is about? I somehow manage to find a few books to buy since I have gift cards I would like to use and at checkout the cart glitches and won’t let me use them. Whoever made this app is bad and should feel bad about making it..DaniEP!Version: 3.14.0
Occasionally FunctionalThe short answer is the app is designed to mine a lot of info and things like Apple private relay prevent it from working correctly so it gives you blank screens. Other times it works fine but this is rare. I’ve found that once you want to pull up an individual item that’s when it usually goes down. Same happens in the Safari browser. I’ve had multiple items cancelled for payment problems and when I contact support they have confirmed it’s Apple Private Relay. If it picks up your phone in a different region than the shipping address it might cancel. Ultimately, BN could fix all of this easily but chose not to. The app is only occasionally usable and the website is usable if you switch to cellular data..SurragardVersion: 3.13.1
Used to work greatIt’s been a couple months since I’ve been able to sign into the app. Followed your suggestion to delete and redownload the app, but that didn’t help anything. Useless. If I could give a zero rating, I would.
**update**
Uninstalled the app and left it off the phone for months. Tried reinstalling it today and can’t get past the login screen. This app is junk, honestly why after all the bad feedback have you guys done nothing to improve the functionality. It’s so disappointing considering I was able to use it really well previously and then this years updates have done nothing but destroy it.HarleyGrl23Version: 3.15.0
Took the best feature awayThere was a specific feature in this app that showed when books came into specific stores. It would say “not available for pickup may be available for in store purchase” when a book arrived at the store set for me. it would show what items came in so that i can call the store and put them on hold in advance. it was really helpful. this app has been updated so many times and that feature has never been taken away, so why did this feature (that was extremely helpful) disappear with this recent update? please put it back. thank you..Nerdy DedeVersion: 3.14.0
Face ID toggle buttonThe app is easy to use, I wanted to create an account but it was not allowing me to create one. The only thing I didn’t select was the “supposed” option for Face ID. I feel I wasn’t allowed to create the account because I didn’t toggle it to yes. I don’t want to use Face ID. So I guess I can only order as a guest and not have the benefit of creating a wish list etc. I don’t understand the point of having a toggle button to turn on Face ID or not if the answer is not..Kristi1964Version: 3.14.0
So glitchyI honestly thought all the reviews were being a little dramatic so I downloaded anyway in hopes to buy some books. I made an account and was scrolling through the app for not even 10 minutes before being thrown out of the app and unable to log back in. How is this such a terrible app, even after all of the reviews? You would think with all the reviews saying exactly what’s wrong with the app, they would fix it. I guess not. This app is completely useless as it is unable to be used, which is so disappointing..Mandy72635278Version: 3.15.0
Great content horrible serviceI love Barnes and noble. I will always support this company. However, it must be acknowledged that this app is HORRIBLE. There are many instances where I go to order a book and I end up giving up simply because of how awful the app runs. Sometimes it takes a full minute just for a book to be added to my wishlist. This happens when my phone is on full bars. I feel like, as a longtime supporter of B&N, I’m not asking much when I say, PLEASE fix this app.Dpo432Version: 3.15.0
Problems on problemsI don’t know what the point of this app is anymore considering it NEVER works. I’ve been able to access my account via the app ZERO times in the last 2(?) months
Maybe longer. I’ve updated, I’ve deleted & redownloaded. I shouldn’t have to do these steps EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I want to access my account..AmgashleygVersion: 3.15.0
Terrible appThis app is so terrible. It could be so good if they tried. It’s constantly crashing. It always logs me out. And half the time when I’m trying to log back in, it says it does but then goes right back to the sign in screen. And that cycle just repeats itself until I can’t stand it anymore and give up. It makes me not want to buy books. And I love shopping at Barnes and Noble. It’s such a frustrating experience and has been for years. Pleeeeeeease fix this app. I’d recommend starting from scratch..Why-not-playVersion: 3.14.0
USE THE WEBSITE, NOT THE APPLong story short, you will spend 15 minutes trying to put 1 singular item in your cart because the app WILL NOT let you scroll, and will log you out. This then will force you to log back in, thinking that maybe it’s your data or wifi that’s a mess. Logging back in will take 5 minutes, and just right after you log back in, same cycle. These glitches are actually ridiculous. So to save you time, Just don’t get the app. Use the website..Smoothoperater18Version: 3.15.0
Trash appYou would think that because Barnes and nobles books are so expensive and that they make bank they would be able to make a good app but no the app can’t even tell me if a book is in stock and then when it’s having trouble it logs me out and I can’t log back in and I have to refresh the page sometimes for it work. Also why is it so laggy like this app is absolute garbage and they haven’t done a single thing to fix the issues. TRASHHHH!!!!!!!!!.Danilove9990Version: 3.13.1
Unusable, except for every few months when it randomly wants to beIt’s so buggy that it basically cannot be used. Every few updates, it’ll work again for a little while, then will go back to logging me out and refusing to let me log back in. I try fully restarting the app, reinstalling it, everything, and it just won’t allow me to log in or browse the books at all.Debbie KwiecinskiVersion: 3.14.0
Can’t log inI’m trying very hard to buy books from B&N and not that other mega-online conglomerate. But when I try to launch the app, I can’t get anywhere but the login page. It clearly knows who I am because it’s says “hi Nancy” but then…nothing. I have deleted the app and re-downloaded with no change. This happened a few weeks ago as well. Please solve - I’m trying to help you out here..NanvdandVersion: 3.14.0
Trash appIf you want to know why you’re going extinct to other book options it is because you by far have the worst interface anybody could have in 2024. Constantly crashing, constantly just disappearing pages. It updated one day ago and is worse than EVER. Why do all my pre orders say back ordered? Does no one understand that implication to book readers? Anyway SKIP THIS APP.Melcab24Version: 3.13.1
Let me sign inI love Barnes and Noble and use this app regularly, but sometimes it fully triggers my anxiety when it updates, logs me out, and no matter how many times I try to sign back in, it won’t..RobodeityVersion: 3.14.0
Doesn’t workI was trying to order some books and look more at my account activity, but I can’t even log in. As soon as I try, it kicks me right back to the log in page. I’ve tried un-installing the app several times, and even went to the actual website this morning which also seems to be down. Disappointing..Jesiny44Version: 3.13.1
Can’t use the appI’ve had this app for a while, and I don’t think I’ve ever been able to use it. Every time I open it, it just shows it’s buffering. I try to search for a book: buffering. I try to go to a different tab: buffering. I’ve tried using it logged in as well as a guest. I usually just give up and open my browser instead..Nikmck22Version: 3.15.0
Terrible AppI expected to at least be able to scroll through the app or search books. Neither are possible. Pages won’t load, and when they do it’s a completely different thing. The scroll is sooo bad. It just gets stuck and doesn’t move or clicks on something random on accident..DioarrVersion: 3.15.0
Doesn’t work anymoreI have tried to use this app over and over again and it just won’t work on my iPhone or iPad. I try to sign in and it just sends me back to the original screen. I finally gave up and just log in through a web browser. What’s the point in having an app if you can’t use it..JWunVersion: 3.14.0
Can’t even loginI have uninstalled and reinstalled this app dozens of times and I cannot login. I type in my information and it looks as if it’s loading, but then I just loads and loads and loads for forever until I’m forced to restart the app, and then it asked me to sign it again. I am stuck in this repetitive loop for months now..DeyakfnakVersion: 3.15.0
Cafe service goneI would give this app five-stars, but to my disappointment they disabled the online services for the Cafe. Every time I visited my local Barnes & Noble I would always order my Starbucks through the app as I did my shopping, but to my surprise, its no longer available due it being unpopular. Please bring it back..Icano18Version: 3.13.1
Not worth it!Just had to delete the app, I am tired of constantly being logged out, never being able to log in (because the screen for the app is frozen and constantly loading), and the search is terrible! Might as well log in on the browser..JaymilkyVersion: 3.15.0
Horrible appThere’s so many problems with this app its easier to just buy stuff from the website. it randomly logs you out of the app which is extremely annoying. i could be in the middle of buying something and it just randomly kicks me out of the app and takes everything out of my cart. this app is so ancient that it doesn’t even have apple pay yet which in this day and age is the bare minimum. there’s also too many buttons to just get to a specific list of books. save your time and just go to the website.Popcorn1231Version: 3.14.0
Cafe option is goneI don’t know who you asked B&N about removing the cafe option on your app but this was a huge mistake. May I remind you in an era where bookstores are becoming obsolete, I dont think this was the smartest decision ever made. You will lose a lot of customers based on this. I will not be renewing my membership with you guys..Yoda2400Version: 3.13.1
Login is nearly impossibleLogin is extremely difficult. It will tell you that you don’t have the proper email address or password, even if you do. Then it will say it will send you a link to reset and they do not. Don’t waste your time with this app..Bigmac75Version: 3.14.0
App doesn’t workWorked ok before. Today I tried to look up an author, app just sat there….thinking but not thinking Ok, let’s try the title of the book, app did the same thing. Tried uninstalling and installing. Same results.
Not a connection issue as I’m at home on my WiFi..Aces666highVersion: 3.15.0
Unable to sign inApp does not work on wifi. No other app has this issue. Can’t sign in with my account. App simply crashes. Unable to use as a guest to search for books or store locations. Need to fix ASAP! Removing and reinstalling doesn’t do anything..SeijiblueVersion: 3.14.0

New UpdateJust updated the app and was about to checkout with what I already had in my cart and it was all wiped. I can’t even add a single item to the cart. Why update an app if it makes it cease to function?.RoguejellalmystoganzerefVersion: 3.14.0

Can’t read books, no customer supportThe Nook app hasn’t existed in the Apple store for over a week, and customer support hasn’t gotten back to me in that time. Why get this app to buy books you can’t read? Very frustrating experience - they took my money and gave me nothing but emails that tell me to go places that don’t exist. Not even links! I’ve had to search for everything myself, only to find … nothing..KirageckoVersion: 1.2.13
Nook?Can't find this app.... does it even exist?? Paid for a book I can't read..AruileVersion: 3.10.0
App Doesn’t WorkIt asks me to reset password but doesn’t send a link to do so. I answer the security question and the app freezes. Reinstalled and still doesn’t work. Useless App..Cap789Version: 3.4.0
EbooksWhen purchasing ebooks they can only be read using the B&N Nook app - which sounds like you have to download as a separate app.
Wish they would consider including an epub link to the books on the invoice so customers have the option to download the book to their desired app, ie Apple Books or similar.
If the above isn’t possible, please consider adding a link on the B&N app to access my digital library. It’s a pain to try and navigate just to access my ebooks..Bored ExplorerVersion: 3.3.0
Impossible to get the appDoesn’t work in Canada 😑.@lonaalonaVersion: 3.1.1
They bill but don’t deliverI purchased an electronic version of a book. They immediately billed my card but when I try to open it, I get a “this is not available in your region”. Which is Canada. There was no warning about this. When I registered on their site, I would hope they would have warned me not to proceed. But they charged me in Canada no problem. There is no way to get actual help from them that I can find. No phone number or email. Just a FAQ section. I guess this is part of their business plan. If you cannot contact them, you cannot ask for a refund. So 1 star for horrible customer service and no stars for not delivering what they charge for..Canada BLVersion: 2.13
