Horrible functionality - developers ignore my complaints
The previous reviews sum it up. When I first got the app a few years ago, it was great. It has beautiful presentation of books with images and videos. However, there is now many problems. When you click on a picture, it takes you back to the beginning of a section, instead of where you left off. The videos must be scrolled through the entire library instead of clicking in from the contents. On my Ipad sometimes I can’t even click into the images. I paid over 300 dollars for a medical textbook that is difficult to use. I could have gotten it cheaper on IBooks or Kindle. What a horrible company Inking has become! I have emailed support several times and there response is to delete the app and reload it - which I have already done many times.Show lessSallazar12
Navigation used to be good
I used this app for years on my iPad. You used to be able to navigate to the part of text that you wanted. Now it automatically scrolls back to top of section making it difficult finding anything. The computer version is better, but It defeats the purpose of portability if you can’t use it on you iPad. Please fix. thank you for your time and. Consideration.Show lessconcerned dermatologist
Inkling has no inkling
I have 5 pathology textbooks on Elsevier Expert Consult. They advertise Inkling on the top of their page. No idea how to get those books into Inkling library. Deleted the App in less than an hour. A reputable publisher like Elsevier should be ashamed of themselves by recommending this App. Good reviews long ago ? Inkling not interested in updating their App.Show lessDr N Brits
Bad > Good
Good:
- beautifully displayed
- all my textbooks at my finger tips
- easily search and retrieved information
- better than Kindle app
Bad:
- app does not allow for screen rotation; unable to view entire tables on single screen due; please enable screen rotation
- auto-scrolls back to top of section instead of going to desired location
- when switching between books, I have to manually back out several clicks before I get back to main menu. It’s tedious since I use this app practically everyday and switch amid all my texts.
Overall, this app could be better. As a practicing PA-C, I use it everyday. I definitely used it quite a bit in PA school as well. I can’t recommend this product to other colleagues/students until more bugs and user requests are addressed.Show lessDavey, PA-C
Crashes Everytime
Try seeing my Netter’s Anatomy Flashcards on my iPhone 7+ running iOS 11 and crashes every time before any cards load.Poopeepoop
Please fix
Basic functionality works. I can read the textbooks, but I need to STUDY the textbooks and the below listed functions are important to me.
What needs to be fixed:
1. Split screen. I like to hand write notes.
2. When a figure or or image is opened, reading location is lost when you return to the section and requires scrolling. Very annoying.
3. I am unable to highlight words in tables.
But seriously, I’ll be looking for an alternative soon if the split screen isn’t a thing in the immediate future. I pay way too much for these textbooks for residency. Thanks.Show lessRackem1234
Navigation is a mess
Just echoing multiple reviews. App is frustrating and early impossible to use for learning. Cannot see all the text of a caption until you click on the image. When you do, you see the full image and then when you go back, you are at the start of the chapter! Cannot put into words how irritating this is. I would discourage any publisher from using this app as a solution for econtent until this addressed, which is several years running now.Show lessdocrock01
Seems good until you actually use it
This app on the surface looks good-it’s relatively sleek, has downloadable books, and syncs with the web version. Then, yup actually use it and discover how buggy the whole thing is. The worse is how picture captions are not fully displayed, forcing you to click into a separate page to view the picture and caption but once you click back, it takes you all the way to the start of the section, forcing you to scroll all the way down to where you were.
As if that’s not bad enough, the whole section scroll thing is horrid. When you want to jump to the mid part of section, the scroll bar works, but once you scroll on the page, it jumps back to the start of the section again.
Then, hilighting doesn’t fully workout behaves unexpectedly, and more.
I wrote their support about these basic functionality issues, but they just basically ignored it. Let’s pressure inkling to actually solve these problems.Show lessT.Th
Used to be fantastic
Lots of bugs now. Highlighting no longer works and the navigation to subheadings always takes me only to the chapter title.Dr. Willio
Not the best.
Please update with ability to change text size, background color to be easier on eyes to read text on screens. Also unable to highlight and take notes in the iOS version at this time. These lack of features make reading educational text non enjoyable.Sleep1837027
