WSET’s priority here is clearly to safeguard their mediocre and highly redundant content at the expense of their students’ reading experience or ability to learn the material. The app UX is amateur, worse than any PDF reader, kindle, or physical book; it makes it harder and slower to read (you have to constantly zoom in and out), cumbersome to make notes and fully impossible to highlight passages of text - you know, kind of important for many students when studying a textbook, right? Anything I can do in a hard copy book is either harder or impossible to do here. Great job, WSET: you’ve reinvented the wheel but made it square.

I can read the book but it’s pretty frustrating that I pay $50 and have so many typical ebook functions that don’t work. The zoom function is quite silly in the fact that you’re essentially zooming in on a pdf.. I could understand if this was a $5-10 add on in addition to the book I already bought but $50? Most importantly though is the fact that you have to log in every time you access the app… not WSET’s fault clearly the developers but the reason I got the ebook was for travel and if I’m on an airplane without wifi or a ferry boat without signal why can’t I access my ebook that has been downloaded on my phone? I get logging in once a month or once a week but give me a break once or sometimes more than once a day?? Very frustrating

This app is completely useless. I have a WSET account. I can log into their website and the tasting notes app. When I try to log into this app, it says that they have no record of my email address.

I have just downloaded the app and it works great, there must have been an update as my experience is not consistent with the other users.
