Pros and cons of Kobo Books app for iPhone and iPad

Kobo Books app good for

This is visually my favourite reading app. It doesnt have as wide a selection of free books as iBooks, but it has enough, and the little sticker rewards for reading are very entertaining. The only downsides are word searches and battery consumption, which is why I recommend this app for entertainment but Stanza for studying.
The most versatile and convenient reader on the iphone. No book, magazine or how to has made me wish I was reading it in another ap. Night mode is my wifes new best friend!
The most practical and generalist handler for PDF format, books, bookstore. Try it once means keep it forever. Quite strange Apple didnt banish it (yet) from the AppStore, for making iBooks so old-fashioned !
This is THE must-have app for all I-device readers. Love the stats and the achievements. I just need few more things in it, like more typo sizes, possibility to deactivate the screen rotation (I love laying on the side when I read) and to deactivate the screen saver.
Comfortable display, possibility to block rotation, reading statistics, etc. I spend hours on it!
I love the integration with dropbox and how smooth the application works.

Some bad moments

After 5 or 7 books the software just shuts down on you. Deleted all books thru iTunes but still shuts down. Updated it, still the same. Waste of time and energy
Synchronisation ne marche pas je n arrive pas a telecharger mes achats
All my books have been removed and I havent been able to restore them.
The new update has created a mess of my library. Many books I have read now are marked unread. Books previously in the I am Reading section did not move into the new reading filter. Customer Support says the upgrade was to make the app better. It may have for some - not for me.
So was 3/4 of the way through a book that came to kobo via bookbub. The OS update happened in the background & book went back to preview. Bookbub said talk to kobo, kobo said talk to bookbub. So now I get to pay $16 to buy it to read the last few chapters. And if thats not bad enough - all the books are mixed up - you click a title and its not THAT BOOK. What a mess!! Be careful people if youve got updates happening in the background. I cant say enough how unhappy I am with Kobo just now. WHAT A MESS!!!
The new update wiped all of my purchases from the app and wont allow me to download them again.
