Nice, But Missing Features
08/27/2024

It doesn't read aloud to you like other readers do, and that's the whole reason I downloaded it (it supposedly has this feature in other computer versions). It also has kind of a funky note-taking system. You can't separate them out by section or chapter, so they're all in this clump (I use different highlight colors to separate but it isn't super helpful) and they're only really in previews so you can't reference them quickly. Additionally, it's a little glitchy for me. I've had it delete notes before that I know I made, the formatting of the words on the page get kind of messed up sometimes when the page has a figure, and loading a pdf into the app sometimes takes a few tries. And I know I've really highlighted the negatives here, but if you want an easy-to-use, no-nonsense eBook app, this one will do everything you need. It's just the "student" kind of features such as note-taking or studying aides that are lacking.

i’m actually over this

my school decided to use this company in order to beat the cost of having students to purchase books. With that being said, I was a student who got to access this program. I thought it was gonna be some great thing that would be super beneficial when it comes to affordability, flexibility, and accessibility, turns out I was wrong. I was sent an email letting me know that it was very easy to sign up and sign in to my account in order to access my materials. I used information in the email and when I went to sign into my account, it told me that I had either the wrong email or password. That didn’t make any sense to me because I used exactly what was given to me in the sign up email. So school starts within the week and I still am not able to access my materials. I went online to get in contact with their support and I sent an email last week and still nobody has contacted me yet and I have schoolwork that is due and I need the book in order to complete it. I know purchasing books is annoying but this is even worse when you have it and can’t access anything.

Voice over does not work.

The voice over option skips over entire sections of text, and does not finish entire pages. It gets maybe 20% through the first paragraph of a page, skips to the next paragraph, and cuts off mid sentence. I work full time and go to school full time, so the voice over option on RedShelf (the old reading application I used for my textbooks) was incredibly useful. I could listen to my textbooks while I was working or doing chores. Now I have to schedule time out of my day to sit down and read each section rather than just listening to it while I’m completing other tasks.

Worst app I’ve ever used

The semester just started and my school is using this app to gain access to the ebook. Let me tell you, i am so annoyed. I hate the fact that the pages don’t have a page number indicating where you’re at on the actual page. You can’t scroll down or up on a page, you just have to go to “the next page”which is not the next page its literally the same page but just the next parts of the page (hope that makes sense). The voiceover sounds sooooo bad like an ai robot and it doesn’t stop when reading the next title to another paragraph it just keeps going like its part of one whole sentence, when it’s not. It gives you options for other voices but they don’t even work!! Like why put the options if they are not gonna work ? I am also annoyed with the specific book I’m reading because it’s not in chapters, it’s in parts. Making it super confusing. ( but that’s an issue with the authors. Overall, Super annoyed. I never right reviews but i just had toooo !!! If i could give 0 stars i would.
