I downloaded this app because my work place’s library webpage kept directing at this App.First hiccup was not being able to login using my work credentials. SSO is entered, two step verification is completed only to hear unable to login.Then I tried open search, and seems like lot of resources in their database. I couldn’t find a way to do advanced search beyond what material I’m looking for, such as ISBN, DOI, keyword, exact match etc. if it had those, I might have kept the app for other books, even though the one I was looking for was not available.

I downloaded this application the hopes that I’d be able to work around a “404 not found” page error on an iPhone Safari browser every-time I try to sign it the website; I don’t really have time to troubleshoot and test it on Chrome, my less preferred browser, because I’m on a deadline. The whole reason I wanted to download the book onto my Files is that the page will lose connectivity after what feels to be about 3 minutes of inactivity. And the only reason I used Ebsco in the first place is the other library app produced low-res images of the reading.The saving grace is that they have 24 / 7 tech support, and after a whopping 25 minute phone call while I was in the ER with my partner, and some email correspondence, I was able to not hack together a proper solution because their search function doesn’t find full texts of books but fragments and abstracts to peer-reviewed journal articles. It has been a terribly frustrating couple of days, and I’m a technologist(!) so I can only imagine how my fellow students are fairing. Delete.

Very Useful App for College Students

This app is very useful and user friendly app for college students. I was able to use it for most of my senior capstone paper with ease! I believe it made my research a lot easier by being able to read articles from my phone and also by being able to email myself articles to read later from my laptop. I would recommend this app to anyone doing lengthy or shorter research projects due to the easy to use search engine!

I’ve just downloaded the app and I like it so far. As a college student it’s really useful for searching for sources on the go. However, there is no way to access My Folders where I keep all my sources that I’ve found already. Considering that was my reason for downloading the app, I’m kind of disappointed. Please create a place for My Folders, that would be great :)

Developer Response
Thank you for trying out the app and for sharing your feedback, and we are glad that you find it useful for your on-the-go searching needs. Automatic synchronization with desktop (website) folders is key need that many app users have identified. Currently, the EBSCO Mobile app will automatically synchronize Liked items in the app with the "My Folders" section of your My EBSCOhost website account, if you are logged in with a personal user account. The app does not yet synchronize with the "My Custom" folders, this is a planned enhancement. If you are facing any issues or have further questions on the "My Folders" sync'ing, please reach out to mobileappsupport@ebsco.com with details and we'd be glad to take a further look. Thanks again for your input.
