In the news:
ALL THINGS DIGITAL - WALL STREET JOURNAL
“Putting textbooks on tablets solves a number of traditional problems. The two most obvious are saving money and back pain.”
TECHCRUNCH
“After Inkling made its public debut more than two years ago, It quickly became known as the startup that made super well-designed interactive college textbooks for the iPad.”
HUFFINGTON POST
“Better than just reproducing text in an online setting, Inkling makes educational text interactive, supporting note-taking, social discussion of content and internal search (like Google for your textbook!).”
NEW YORK TIMES
“A new company called Inkling hopes to break the standard textbook model and help textbooks enter the interactive age by letting students share and comment on the texts and interact with fellow students.”
What our customers say about us:
MargaretField- “The format is elegant. Love that i can always see where I am in the chapter and in the book as a whole. Interactive quizzes make it even more fun.”
Book_lover25- “All of my books now look awesome and work well on iPhone, as well as iPad. Can’t wait to use it as my travel guide while hiking this weekend.”
Stephen the Cat- “Using Inkling makes learning fun. The page layouts are attractive. The information is presented in a functional and useful way. Better yet, I can make notes that simplify my review of texts upping my learning efficiency.”

Ratings and Reviews
So much wasted potential
The books look great and the images are crisp. Unfortunately, navigation needs drastic improvements. When you move from one section to the next while scrolling, the app randomly jumps to the top of the previous section. This gets rather infuriating when the sections are large. Additionally, finding content can be a challenge when a textbook has 150+ chapters. While that may partly be the fault of the textbook, inkling should make some effort to group the chapters. The search function can be useful at times. However, occasionally it will find less relevant results and list those first. It should prioritize the headers over references. Overall, a potentially great product limited by subpar programming.
This comment was made 3 years ago by someone and it’s still the same problem…
I have been using this app for long time and it was fairly good when I first used it (apart from some annoying issues in photo imaging). Unfortunately, it got worse and worse to the point where I cannot use it at all now. In addition to the many faulty issues that other reviewers pointed out here, now, l cannot even open any e-book I bought and downloaded in my book library! It just says loading when I open any title with empty white page. I deleted the app and reinstalled it but no change. I am very disappointed with this and stopped buying from the store anymore. Now I'm forced to use other apps to buy and download medical books and what's really upsetting is that I cannot read my already purchased books in this app anymore, and they're not cheap books. I was really hoping this app be as professional and efficient as it should be, but unfortunately it drifted away from that path. I still have hope that they can fix it and improve it significantly, soon.
