  • Really good but can’t have it read to you

    I love having my book on hand whenever I am out of my house. You pick up where you left off! You can still highlight and everything. The only flaw I see is the reading to you option. If you want the book to read you the section, you must highlight it like when you go to copy/paste. If there was a way to have the book read starting on whatever page you left off on then stop where you finish having it read out loud, I would give it five stars. No other complaints!

  • Another Garbage App

    This company seems to enjoy making crappy apps that don’t work like they are suppose to with a ounce of shame. They don’t even try to improve them. You would think so with all the people they are ripping of with these expensive textbooks. But in hindsight, I was at least able to sign in, but only 1 textbook appeared out of the 4 books that I have purchase and hasn’t expired. Waste of space on my device. This garbage company strikes again with there infamous garbage apps!

  • Great for on-the-go!

    The ReadAnywhere app has helped me study vocabulary on the way to an exam, brush up on the chapter on the way to class, and given me a way to get required reading done whenever it is most convenient for me! I definitely recommend it to students that could use a tool as convenient as this to read their textbooks on the go!

  • Love The New Features

    I love all the features that are offered through this app. Whether is be accessing my assignments online or offline and also having the capability to access my ebook if I do not have WiFi. I love that I can have my ebook read to me. That’s an extremely helpful feature! Overall, a great app! I can’t wait to see what else McGraw-Hill Education has to offer to students in the future!

  • This app keeps malfunctioning

    Las quarter I use the app for ten weeks and it worked fine. Now I downloaded a new book and it won’t download any chapters it keep giving me an error. I’m frustrated because I am depending on this app to avoid carrying my book for school everywhere. Other than this issue the app is great. I just wish it would work as normal . I’m not sure why I cannot download the chapters that I select. Hopefully the developer will read my review and do something. This app is definitely useful when it works right. I deleted the application twice and download it each time to get it to work accordingly.

  • Great mobility. Slow at times,

    I love the ability to read my text book on my phone wherever I am. It does seem a bit slow at times while navigating but is great 95% of the time. I wish the chapter navigation tool had a bit more differentiation between primary subjects and paragraph subjects. Another tool that would be great would allow me to use something like a back button to go to my previously read space before clicking a link

  • Fix the Scrollable Tables

    Developers - HEY! Devs! I have a simple request. In those boxes where you put tables that you have cleverly made scrollable - so they fit on any screen of any orientation, there is 1 super huge problem. The row names get scrolled out.
    How can I keep track of the numbers I am looking at if the labels are always off the screen?
    I like that I can slide through the data L to R, but when I have 15 rows of info, it makes it tough to absorb stuff when I have to keep going back and figuring out what each number is.

  • Update

    Gotta say the newest update really made the app useable. Before it use to be really slow and the user interface was very lengthy, slow, and laggy to get through. New ui looks great and it’s fast. Also downloads the chapters fast unlike before.
  • “Read anywhere” but only if you are rich with internet

    The title of the application is a false advertisement. Get a hard copy and tell your teacher why her class is back by the upper echelon of bureaucratic society. internet is required to read “anywhere “ BUT when you need it. So make sure you are a rich collage student if you need this application. It total trash and I feel pity for others that require it.
    I feel like the zealots are winning the battleground of education and we are the subjects of the lost and financially raped Society of students. So haul and salute to the masters of our Financial demise. My wallet is raped thank you for Subjugating your required trash material upon educated opportunists and thank you Apple for sponsoring trash applications. I am fully disappointed in the representation of your product and do not trust your brand or label or whatever legal bull you feel to call your self.

  • Audio capability

    Would there be anyway to enhance this app to be able to make audio reading easier. Instead of highlighting the text and pressing the speaker to read. Maybe an option to play by chapter. I downloaded this because I thought it was set up that way and would work well when my hands aren’t free and I can listen to the book instead. If that is possible this will be truly an amazing app. But until then it’s hard to use.
    Doesn’t help when I’m driving and want to hear as I drive a lot with my job. It won’t play over my car just through headphone or out of phone itself.
