see, that's strange.. i thought it was a sookie stackhouse award.. but i've not read pretty little liars, nor had i downloaded the dead reckoning preview when it just turned up on my awards list.. very strange.. and the blurb doesn't tell you anything about it, so i have no idea where it came from!

I am getting ready to dump my kobo app for my ipad. I keep losing all my books and have to reload. I emailed kobo and they said it was because I am shutting down my ipad while still in kobo but that isn't it. I log off kobo before shutting down. I justbwent to my kobo bookshelf. Everything was there...for about 5 seconds. Then everything disappeared again. This just isn't worth the trouble. I will use my kindle and nook and ibooks apps. They never let me down.

Foxfire; I seem to remember from other posts that logging OFF causes issues...
Try just closing the application without logging off Kobo..... (The same happens with Desktop; if you logout ALL content is removed and has to be reloaded when you log back into Desktop). |

So, logging off kobo or just shutting down without logging off is all moot. Kobo shuts me down....... Last edited by foxfire; 02-28-2012 at 03:15 PM. Reason: want to add something |

Sorry to hear about that, Foxfire. There's a bug where books can be removed when refreshing your library with a spotty internet connection – it's been fixed, we're just waiting on the App Store review process to release the update. Hopefully it'll be available soon and will resolve your issue.

If so then do NOT do this, you don't need to. If you suspend the application, or fully quit it then it will not be running, but you will be signed into your account. If you are signing out of the app then it WILL remove all of your books. This is how the app is designed to work. If the app is closing on it's own then it sounds as though it is crashing. Can you answer the following questions for me please: 1. What exact device are you using; eg; iPad1 Wifi 2. What exact iOS version are you using; eg; iOS 5.0.1 3. What exact version of the Kobo application are you using; eg; 5.3. You can find out the app version by running the Settings app, then scroll down to the Kobo item, tap on it, and you should see the first item displays the app version number. The latest version of the app is 5.3, and if you are not running 5.3 then I would strongly suggest you upgrade to it. From what you have said, if the app is crashing then it is probably corrupting the database we use, so that when you relaunch we remove the database as we discover it is corrupt. This results in all books being removed and your signed in status being removed, thus you have to sign back in and books have to download again. Could you also tell me what book(s) you were opening when you saw this issue happen (title of book and author), and I'll try and reproduce the issue here. It is possible it might be an issue with a specific book causing the app to crash. Last edited by Sharkus; 02-28-2012 at 04:30 PM. |
