Fácil de usar

Cómo alumno de profesional, esta aplicación me permite buscar artículos y libros confiables de una manera fácil y rápida. Es muy user-friendly y me gusta que me da la opción de buscar el texto completo desde la misma aplicación, sin tener que meterme a Safari o Chrome.

Great app

The app is great for students, faculty, researchers, etc. who want to search for materials quickly and easily. This platform is very user friendly and a great way to stay current on the literature whenever you have a few moments to spare

Thank you for sharing your experience with the EBSCO Mobile app! Your feedback is important to us and it's great to hear in which ways you incorporated the app into your research flow. We designed the app specifically with the researcher 'on the go' in mind: Searching for articles, ebooks,... during the downtime when commuting or otherwise not at a laptop. If you have any feedback for us to improve the app, please feel free to share via: mobileappsupport@ebsco.com.

Easy Access

This app is easy to use and saves the time of logging in through my university library system. Very handy to have on my phone!

Very Useful App for College Students

This app is very useful and user friendly app for college students. I was able to use it for most of my senior capstone paper with ease! I believe it made my research a lot easier by being able to read articles from my phone and also by being able to email myself articles to read later from my laptop. I would recommend this app to anyone doing lengthy or shorter research projects due to the easy to use search engine!

Useless

I can’t sign into my campus. If I try it just refreshes the search on ebsco.zone. If I use another campus it will work, but only in a small window that is barely readable.

Good, but...

Good application, but I wish there was a way to save PDFs on iphone from the app.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We will be looking into this as a future enhancement request. We hope you'll continue to find the EBSCO Mobile App helpful for your research needs.

A Solution to My Browser Problem, Dashed.

I downloaded this application the hopes that I’d be able to work around a “404 not found” page error on an iPhone Safari browser every-time I try to sign it the website; I don’t really have time to troubleshoot and test it on Chrome, my less preferred browser, because I’m on a deadline. The whole reason I wanted to download the book onto my Files is that the page will lose connectivity after what feels to be about 3 minutes of inactivity. And the only reason I used Ebsco in the first place is the other library app produced low-res images of the reading.
The saving grace is that they have 24 / 7 tech support, and after a whopping 25 minute phone call while I was in the ER with my partner, and some email correspondence, I was able to not hack together a proper solution because their search function doesn’t find full texts of books but fragments and abstracts to peer-reviewed journal articles. It has been a terribly frustrating couple of days, and I’m a technologist(!) so I can only imagine how my fellow students are fairing. Delete.

Text size doesn't change

The app is helpful, but the Text size doesn't change on EPUBs.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We are aware of the limitation with changing text size of EPUB files in the eBook viewer and will include in our enhancements list. Meantime if you have any other feedback, please feel free to reach out to mobileappsupport@ebsco.com.

E-books not working

I can’t download ebooks or pdfs. I have to use my computer and airdrop files. Kind of defeats the purpose of the app…

Response from developer

thank you for sharing your feedback. In our latest release (v3.0.2), we've added ability to view EBSCO eBooks online (in addition the the previously-released eBook downoad functionality). So, you should now be able to view EBSCO eBooks directly from the app, even if downloading is not available for a particular eBook. Please continue to share any feedback via mobileappsupport@ebsco.com and we'd be happy to assist.
