May :P!
My app wasn’t working so I deleted to download it again. Only to find out it is now a different app. So I have the old app in my phone and the new one in my iPad and thank God I didn’t delete the old one yet because I NEEEEEEEEED the “read to me” option which is NOT available in the new app. I don’t like it at all. That is how I got my work done. I can’t always have my laptop to read it to me on the webtext and my phone is distracting which is why I used my iPad. I’m being a little animated here but seriously, work on this asap please. I do not have the blessing of being able to concentrate while reading. I end up reading the same sentence 100 times. I need that “read to me” option.

I rarely rate apps poorly or at all, but this is a disappointment. An education app not having a ‘read to me’ function after seemingly years of saying it’s in the works is ridiculous. Textbooks costs way too much money for them to not have an accessibility design. To note- it should be possible to listen to the text while having the app in the background. I would pay for this app if I could do that. Whoever is developing this- you can make more money by adding that and just charging a one time or monthly fee. I’d hate to buy it but I would to have access to a listening function. There are a lot of people with disabilities that need this.

For the amount of money that they charge for textbooks you would expect more than a pdf with a couple videos. The app interface is slow and not visually pleasing. There is no way to highlight important text or bookmark a certain page. No option for text to speech so you can hear it while taking notes. Overall just a crappy pdf it would be easier to just download as a pdf and be able to access on a more versatile app.

We’re excited to announce that highlighting and note taking is now live in the latest version of our app for most courses!

It’s okay but I wish the communication was better between the computer and the app. I alternate between the two and whenever I use my iPad I have to go into see my progress to see where I left off, because the app will remain at whatever point I stopped on previously, even if I moved on the computer. I also wish the app had the read to me tool.
