  • Terrible app

    The book text, images, layout are high quality. However this app seems to lack basic navigation. When I bookmark it puts me at beginning of bookmarked chapter. Each time you want to go back to your page you either scroll through entire chapter to have to try to do a word search to get back to where you are.

  • Poor bookmarking

    This app has a lot of potential, but it can’t seem to remember where I left off and goes back to the beginning of the section. Even if I bookmark my location it doesn’t save the correct spot. I waste a lot of time trying to figure out where I left off.
  • Split screen

    It was working great until this recent update, where now, I cannot look at the table of content and the content at the same time!
    Please put it back to how it was!
  • No Apple Pencil support

    A learning app designed to help you take notes on books should support the best feature of the iPad for taking notes... the Apple Pencil. Support badly needed, otherwise you’d be better off getting a PDF of the book and making notes in a PDF application.
  • Oof!

    Just a few days into using this app and I’m already frustrated! First, the page scrolling is atrocious. Sometimes when you get to the bottom of the section it loads the next section fine, other times you have to drag the page 2 or 3 times before it works. I’ve also noticed the when you open up the app it defaults to putting you at the top of the page. When you have to scroll through several textbook pages of text to get to a later section this becomes incredibly inconvenient.

  • Great books, horrid app

    If you e used iBooks or kindle and enjoyed their intuitive interface and functionality, you will not find this here. I’ve clicked page links on accident and instead of a back button or a swipe down to previous content, you must scroll all the way back. Think of going from chapter one to chapter eight and not being able to return to chapter one unless you scroll back (iPad Pro example). Trying to highlight is annoying as it brings up the system menu to copy and share at times and is only available on a single sentence at a time.

    Read on your desktop or even in your mobile/tablet browser instead.

  • To be improved

    The app is good overall. However it got worse with the last version! I previously had split screen and could see the headings and chapters in a left sided box. I can no longer see this which amounts to general frustration and loss of productivity.
  • Why must I scroll constantly?

    This app doesn’t let you flip pages, you must scroll. Then when the section or chapter ends it doesn’t seamlessly transition to the next one. Please give me the option to flip pages like a standard ebook! The only reason I’m using this is because it is the only way my school’s textbook is available. I would literally choose any other option to read this book if possible.

  • Navigation needs work

    I like having this app to access my various medical book titles in one place on my phone, but the navigation really needs some work. If I tap on any one of the titles, I get taken to a menu where I can download chapters. But that’s the only option I have is to download chapters. If I decide I do not want to download chapters, there’s nothing else I can do on that page.
    I can’t just view a chapter without downloading it, and worst, I cannot go back to the homepage. I have to exit the app completely and restart it to be able to look at other titles. You guys need to fix that.

  • Useless app

    This is useless. You cannot highlight or write notes as you read on the digital text. You hav to pull out the notes and bookmarks to type (!) something. Seriously why can’t it work like a PDF document where you can leave notes on the text as you read. This is a waste. Truly. Maybe is good for a recipe book but not a textbook. At least let us download the pdf and I can work on it using Acrobat for iPad. FYI your software designers are aware of the Apple Pencil both first and second generation. If not they should so we can make use of it.
