This app does not open after downloading a book. It is also unresponsive and makes it virtually unusable. When you can use it, it is awesome. Unfortunately, don't even bother with it.
Great!

Only worked the first time. After that it always crashes at the start. Please fix!
Its cool but won't let me open the app half the time
Can't highlight or Make notes, and sometimes I experience sync issues with my new book purchases showing up. Please add highlight & note features. I use both options on my tablet all the time. Would love to have it on my phone also.
Good app...keeps me from getting bored
Love having Kindle on my phone. Because it syncs with my PC I can just pickup where I left off. Comes in handy when waiting in lines.
Crash
When the WP7 browser has desktop Version on the settings the kindle store web page gets an error. Still a great app.
Thanks your
Amazon, get your stuff together. You're losig loyal customers with this travesty of an app. For all the users here are a list of issues (and convenient fixes if I've found them): 1. The crash problem MOST users are having when trying to open books, is usually due to those books already having been started on another device. The app crashes whenever forced to sync a book that has never been opened in the app. It will open a book if the book was opened in the app before any other device. 2. Missing paragraphs. Simple formatting errors. Easy fix: rotate your screen to the opposing orientation then rotate it back. The text that was missing will be there. 3. Misc: sync times, highlighting, dictionary, etc etc. All improvements in this stuff has more than likely been abandoned in favor of the Windows 8 release. I'd like to hope that isn't the case but let's be realistic.
This app has been driving me insane. It crashes every few weeks and will not open again. I have to uninstall it, restart my phone, reinstall it, and if I'm lucky it will let me sign back in without crashing. Get your *** together Amazon. This is getting ridiculous.
Aweet
Crashes when I try to open a book. Very disappointing.
Love the way the app syncs with my Kindle, but can't believe how fast it burns up my battery
Crashes constantly, never worked for me
This app sucks. I tap the app on my lumia 710 windows phone and it doesn't open just sends me back to my home screen. I have to uninstall then reinstall it, go to my archives and redownload all the books. Other than that I don't have any problems...
Keeps losing registration information preventing access to my Kindle books.
Great app
Works great! Love it. Had to use it when my kindle broke =)
Great!
app was working great now everytime I try to enter it it takes me back to my phones home screen. Please fix whatever is going on.
Great app, love it. Best app on my phone after Police Scanner 7 of course!
Great program.
I have a Nook Color reader, but this is a very neat app for when I don't have that with me.
Used to work great - now it crashes anytime I try to open a book.
Not quite as stable as I'd like but I do love having access to my library on my phone.
Crashes constantly on my lumia 900. The first 2 books I tried to open both each immediately crashed to the app launcher. But it did open the 3rd book I tried, so it's not totally non-functional
Crashes on every book now... Used to work fine... Even uninstalled and reinstalled... Plz improve the quality!
Rotation lock? Pretty please?
Seems to have a serious issue with skipping words or even several sentences when turning pages... Perhaps because I'm not using the default font size? (this has been an issue with the app for at least 9 months on my old Titan and now my Titan 2, but I have yet to see a fix for it). Does not start from my last saved location on my iPad. Please fix!
Routinely hoses so that it won't launch. Uninstall & Reinstalling is the only solution I have found. :(
Won't sync with iPad location?
Works perfectly on my android phone... Sucks on the windows phone. Skips entire paragraphs. Well, looks like it's back to droid.
Pretty good app, i didn't give it 5 stars because it always crashes with the book, unbreakable
Works okay. Always seems to be busy doing something in the background though, slowing things down. Crashes when opening some books I purchased from Amazon. I really hope Amazon will give this app some love and fix the bugs.
Crashes when trying to open a book
Works great on my HTC Arrive (Sprint)
Love being able to read on the go with this application! If you're a die-hard book reader, this is a MUST!
Perfectly kindle
I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE this app.... Now it won't even open... Uninstalled, etc. many times.... WHERE IS THE UPDATE?! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED
Crashes on Lumia 900 devices. Please fix!
Wow thanks for updating this useless piece of trash to better support in-app purchases WHILE IGNORING THE HUGE PILE OF BUGS AND FEATURE OMISSIONS. Sweet christ Amazon get your god *** act together.
Crashy, buggy *** pile. Can't even open a book.
Awful. Can't get books since changes made. Amazon is just an awful company to begin with, especially to hard working authors.
Useless.
Only works on some kindle books. Crashes to menu on most on Lumia 900. Please fix.
The first book I read in this fast and attractive app was a fine experience, so I bought more. The second book has format problems (indentations) and loses paragraphs from one screen to the next. Only by repeatedly changing font size can I read the missing lines, which gets old fast. Also, Whisper Sync does not work well -- my place is lost between sessions and between devices like my tablet, despite the app saying it is up to date.
Not very good. Cuts off words depending on font size and you can't highlight text to make a note of it for later.
Can't highlight or Make notes, and sometimes I experience sync issues with my new book purchases showing up. Please add highlight & note features. I use both options on my tablet all the time. Would love to have it on my phone also.
Great!
This app can be such a pain. Sometimes it takes 6 tries to get the stupid thing to load Now it won't load at all. Infuriating
Won't load...
Very good. Could sync quicker however. Being able to view the store through the app, and not a separate browser would be nice.
I have a Nook Color reader, but this is a very neat app for when I don't have that with me.
Bummed, always get error now when trying to shop kindle store, takes me to Amazon website that is a "redirect/page not found" , :(
Crashes on every book now... Used to work fine... Even uninstalled and reinstalled... Plz improve the quality!
Can't download the books I purchased. Always say check WiFi.
Good app
Great app if you're only reading for pleasure, but the inability to highlight keeps me from using the app for any serious reading. Guess I'll just carry my kindle around instead.
Used to work fine before the most recent update, but now I can't even open the app. Please fix this issue promptly or I will have to uninstall. It was a 5* app but now I can't even open to read to pass time at the train station! :[
amazing
Won't download the book I just bought over WiFi. This is ***.
App use to work perfect but everytime I open a book it crashes and reverts to the home screen. Tried uninstalling, deregister, and registered the device, nothing seems to work and it has been like this for months. Please amazon update this app
