iBooks page turn animation

I had just 2 main reasons to buy the iPad Pro 12 inc - writing with Apple pencil and reading book with page turn animation - I am serious, page turn animation is that important to me. Its super frustrating, and annoying being a long term so called Apple "fan boy".

I am in complete agreement with you on the page turn animation. It was a defining joy over other ePub readers.

Now it’s jarring and I hate it. It’s like every other ePub reader now, no different from the Kindle app. This is not the Apple I’ve come to appreciate.

I couldn’t agree more lately all the Mac-ness is gone it seems like the os is morphing into windows. Steve Jobs is turning in his grave gone is all the intuitive features that always made working on my computer or device fun. Now it is a struggle and losing the page turning feature is so sad.

Did you tell Apple?

This feature needs to return, I refuse to read pdf styled books. Really bad innovation on apples part feels like going through documents. No enjoyment of reading whatsoever.

You need to bring back the page-turning animation in Books. I won’t be buying any more books from there until you do. You have ruined it. Unilaterally. It’s a pain in the arse-how many other products can you buy where the manufacturer can STILL completely change the product two years after you’ve bought it so that it no longer does some of the things you bought it for in the first place? Gah.

How is the "You" you're attempting to address? No one reading or participating in this forum can make any changes to the app. If you want the cognizant parties at Apple to know your thoughts, use the feedback link:

Removing the page flip feature was the worse part about the new Books app. That is what made it fun to use the app. I loved the flip feature making it as if I was reading an actual book.

I find it very hard to believe that Apple does not monitor these forums for feedback. For one, Apple occasionally brands answers as “approved.” For two, no company as successful as Apple would ignore such an awesome source of user data.

You may have trouble believing it, but it's true. The folks who mark a post as "Apple Recommended" are the Hosts/Community Specialists, the Apple employees who run the forums. They recommend posts based on how well they answer the question.

It would be a Sisyphean labor to sort through a forum of this size for useful feedback. It's one of the largest, busiest group of forums (there are multiple forums in multiple languages) of its kind. That is why Apple has provided a dedicated feedback page.

You can spend time posting here on why you think that Apple should read your feedback here. Or, you can spend the same time posting your feedback where they WILL read it. Or both, if that's what makes you happy.

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple doesn't read here for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

Heck they can't even make it so you can organize your library into sub-categories either such as main being say like WAR with subs underneath such as World War I, World War II, War of 1812, etc. Nothing is more annoying to have tons of books of different categories all into one. Sure you can make separate collections but then you would have A LOT of collections listed. I mean look how a simple app such as Bookari lets you do what you want with subcollections. What is SO hard about setting up Books like this? This feature WOULD make Books a SOLID app to have.

I just opened the books app for the first time today and that was literally the defining feature of Apple Books and why I chose it over other platforms... Now it's just like everything else and has sucked the joy out of reading on my phone... literally, the joy is gone!

After hours of unpleasant UI with Apple Books app, installed Google Play Books application and continued reading, which gives a more real time experience of Reading. Apple disappointed the users with this update.

Actually the Kindle App on my iPad has a nice page turn. Apple are clearly driving us in Amazon's direction! Simply open a book in the Kindle app, tap on the current page, select the Aa icon at the top, then click More, then scroll to the bottom and toggle on Page Turn Animation.

I agree - this now feels like every other e-reader. I used to spend a few cents more to get a book for iBooks because the reading experience was good. Now I might as well just move my buisness to Amazon. Please restore the page turn animation!
