  • This app is terrible

    I never write reviews but this app is just too bad not to leave one. When I try to flip the pages it does not go to the next page, it seems to skip to the next section. This makes it impossible to read.
  • Who does not update app in more than year?

    The user experience of the App is very bad. It does not support offline, even if it says it does. Books/reading gets broken as soon as you are offline.

    After contacting Packt, they mentioned that they don’t have plans for updates. Seriously!
  • Reading is fine, video bad

    Reading on app works. If you play a video and click table of contents to select a different chapter/video, the application will crash. You can only select next video and watch the chapters in order.
    Packt, please fix this.
  • SSO option lacking

    It’s pathetic that something as basic as single sign on isn’t available
  • Content there. Not much else.

    I first tried this application over a year ago and it was impossible to view or play the content. Since then, there’s been an upgrade that at least allows access to content. However, playlist that from such a useful part of the Packt publishing website is not available and therefore how useful this is as a training tool is highly debatable.

  • Missing basic features

    A beta app at best. Gets the job done but with a few bugs and a lot of missing features. I will still continue to use and I hope they invest some money into it
  • Current version 1.9.5 Unstable

    Uninstalled app, since as others said the app crashes for no reason and loses all settings. Not worth the effort to use the app.
  • Constant crashes with video content

    I have a few video titles that I want to watch but can’t because selecting a chapter crashes the app

    Also you can see what books you own unless I’m completely missing it.
  • Persistent Crashes: A Call for Improvement

    The app frequently encounters issues, notably crashing during transitions between book chapters or video training sessions. This not only interrupts the learning experience but also removes the resource from the library view, requiring users to search for it again and restart their progress. For a premium membership, a more reliable and user-friendly companion app is expected.

  • Keeps crashing please fix it

    I need to do Azure Exams and I can’t use my mobile because this app continues to crash. Why can’t you do anything with the heart it’s always something. I have been a loyal subscriber but you don’t seem to be loyal to the people that support you.
