Ratings and Reviews
Very impractical and difficult to use.
I am a student, and I have been using this apps for two of my etextbooks for the last three years. It is easily the worst out of the 5 different apps I use for my etextbooks. I have several reasons for this.
1. If you go out of the app and then back into it, you will have lost your place in the book and the app will refresh and send you back to the main menu
2. The app is extremely laggy and flat out impractical to be using as a student who needs their textbook open swiftly.
3. Unlike many other ebook apps, it’s very tricky to highlight text and it doesn’t allow you write freehand on the pages, only digital sticky notes which are bulky and a hassle.
You might be wondering why I don’t just use the physical copy of the book if it’s that bad, but the school I’m currently attending doesn’t allow that. Besides, these apps should be up to a higher standard.
A shocking display of incompetence
I’ve probably used hundreds of apps by this point, and this is by far the worst I’ve used. The app and book constantly crashes, it’s slow to navigate pages, books update constantly and take ages to do so, the zoom function doesn’t go anywhere near far enough, the UI colours were clearly designed by somebody completely colourblind, the book crashes every time I open the in-app resources, and the book crashes every time I switch to a different app and switch back. I cannot fathom how a company could produce this garbage.

Update ruined app
Before I updated the app it ran smoothly and was easy and intuitive to use. However, since updating I have had to make a new account as it didn’t recognise my old one, I had to wait a week for a book to update and I have resorted to using the hard copy of my book instead of this dreadful app. It takes far too long to load, you can’t quickly swipe through pages anymore and it no longer has a user friendly interface. I would simply recommend saving your time by not even downloading this app.
