Terrible

Harper Collins makes you use Glose for their ebooks. A real shame because this app is terrible. It constantly loses my place and makes me zoom in and out. I had to close the app and when I opened it back up, it had zooped ahead several chapters and SPOILED THE STORY FOR ME. Honestly will never use it again.

★★★★★Jul 5, 2026
Terrible for iPhone

The format is terrible because I have to zoom in and out to read every page. If I tried to read a single book this would be quite tiring. iPhone puts there books in a complete page format which makes it easier read. I can read the page and use my finger to advance to the next page, no zooming is necessary. This app is totally not iPhone friendly. Therefore, since it is absolute struggle to read even one page, I am planning to delete this app on my iPhone.

Won’t update won’t work

Planning to enjoy enjoying a quiet evening reading and the app is locked out, saying it requires an update in the App Store, but there is no update available in the App Store. Offloaded it the put back on phone and it still won’t work so I cannot access any of my books.

★★★★★Jun 2, 2026
It’s not bad

Wish I could make book purchases right from the app, though.

★★★★★Jun 2, 2026
Not really set-up for reading on a laptop

It sucks bc the text is really small and there’s no way to zoom in or adjust the size

Not loading or opening books

Useless app! They should have stayed with the Bluefire app, at least those books would be downloaded to your device.
