Google books not being displayed properly after ios 9 upgrade

It succeeds in enlarging the pages and the text, but it is a stop-gap, not a permanent solution. It allows the pages in Google Books to be enlarged very nicely, but does not at the same time enlarge the tiny thumbnails of the books that are shown to the left of the pages. What is still needed, at the end of 2017, on iOS 11 as on 9 and 10, is a proper fix for this problem. And the sooner, the better.

OTOH, the app is very much better than nothing 🙂 Many thanks for the link.

I have had this problem on iphone 6 and have confirmed it on 4 other iphones in all non safari browsers. It seems to be a combination of the viewport being set wrong and theability to zoom being disabled more rigorously.

May I know, how it can be fixed?

Yes, I have this problem too.

Google Books pages showing search results are magified. It is impossible to zoom back out.

It is impossible to drag the window to position the text of the book.

It is making my research impossible on the iPad (mine is a first generation iPad Air)

I hope Apple is working on it. It's annoying. 😠

Even with iOS 9.0.2 persists the same problem 😢😢

I urgently need for my profession a quick solution!

In Android, there is the problem not - but I like to work with the iPad.

Glad I'm not the o my one having this issue. I tried contacting Google on their horrendously designed newsgroup forums, but didn't get an answer. Not sure if it's their fault or Apple's but whoever is at fault is taking their time fixing it.

I have this problem too on my Ipad and Iphone. The slow speed with which it's been repaired shows the contempt of Apple and/or Google for their users, their incompetence, or is an example of Apple and Google not cooperating. Apple also has cooperation problems with Microsoft and Adobe. And Apple will NOT let users give feedback directly to them.

One other pet peeve, while I'm spouting off. I am visually impaired. The text on Itunes is too small. It can't be enlarged. Despite repeated posts on this issue, and a letter to Apple, they've done nothing to help. They make a big deal about their tools for people like me, but their software is insensitive.

So with respect to the Google Books problem, I'd put the blame on Apple.

If Apple doesn't want feedback from customers, then why do they have this page up: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Additionally, you can create a free developer account and submit bug reports.

As for Adobe, I agree, but everything I've heard for years now is that Apple and Microsoft have an extremely good relationship. Supposedly, Microsoft has the largest team of Mac developers outside of Apple.

With that said, Apple and Google need to figure this Google Books problem out!!

i have the same problem after ios9 upgrade.

really hope Apple can fix this annoying problem asap;(

my pc and android don't have such a problem, but I like working with my iPad

I also have this problem on my iPad mini4. I wrote a feedback message to the Apple support concerning this problem. I hope they take seriously this problem and find a solution, soon. It's bugging and annoying!!!!

Thank you for trying to raise this issue with Google. I will do the same and perhaps the company who is really to blame will be shamed by the other to do something about it. Going on what sanfordius says above, the indications are that it is Apple that is at fault.

It certainly hampers the voluntary work I do researching, ucontributing, proofreading and editing Wikipedia entries, since I don't have access through an educational institution to electronic texts. A few publishers and authors might rather grumpy about this issue too!

Sadly, Google never bothered to answer my questions.

download this application for now it worked fine for me.. It had some glitches but I could easily use any Google related service without any botherations.
