I love this app, and it makes reading so convenient compared to carrying around books everywhere. The highlighting, definition, and note functions are great. My only problem I have with it is that it's trying to be too much like a book. Sometimes I'm in the middle of reading and I put my finger down on my phone, making me go to the next page. If I could have an option to read each chapter by scrolling instead of turning pages, similar to Wattpad, I think the app would be perfect.

I LOVE this reading app! It's very easy and asthetic to use. I'm just super disappointed with a recent problem where I can't turn up the reading speed on audiobooks without the app giving me an error message saying that there's a problem with my internet connection--even though I have full bars. Otherwise, it's an awesome way to check out ebooks and read.

This is a great all, but I rated it 4 starts because I don't know how to find regular books. When I try to look for some, I only find audiobooks. I don't know if this is a fault of mine or the app's, but I'll continue to search and update this comment when I get my answer.

Sora is a great app for reading. It has many books. There also might be your favorite book series or auther or just book in general. you might know epic another eading app. it has way more books than that. Sora putts books in sectoins like most popular or middle school must read list. I think that is very good. I found so many books my intrest with sora. I think it's really good to organize that way. I think Sora is amazing. You should try sora.

The stupid thing is i had it in school and now im in a school not supported by sora, so i got borrowbox. Borrow box has less then a third of the content sora has. I cant get back into sora, where the books are, because there isnt a single way to casually read with it unless your school is supported. I gavr it 3 stars cuz it was good, but i cant use the damn thing now

I LOVE SORA! It has thr best books and you could literally find any book you want. But, it is like a real library you might have to wait a couple days or maybe a week before you get the book. Either way I love this app!!!
