  • Horrible App

    Terrible app. They don’t fix glitches even when they’ve been repeatedly reported to them. Currently, you can’t navigate to a specific point within a chapter. Once you click, it automatically jumps to the beginning of the chapter.

    Has the potential to be a great resource, however they do not seem to care whether it is actually functioning properly or not. Currently awful.

  • I WAS excited

    I bought netters anatomy flash cards and it came with a card so I could also have the cards on my phone through this app and ever time I try to study them the app crashes before I can even look at the cards. So many glitches. I tried being slow with the app to give it time to load and everything and it won’t stay open. Very upset. Please fix!

  • beautiful images but agony to use

    I use this mainly for radiology books. The images are fantastic, though the file sizes are very large, often 1gb or more for a big text.
    However, trying to just read a chapter is a horrible experience. For a book that is fully downloaded, there is a lag and necessity for multiple clicks each time you want to look at an image.
    For that reason I look for content in other applications whenever possible.
    Please fix this app!

  • I don't have the same picture issues.

    Just wanted to let people know that I have been reading a medical textbook on the iphone8 and haven't had the whole "click on a picture and scroll up to the top of the chapter" problem. You can get back to exactly where you were with a swipe of the finger.
  • Buggy

    On iOS 11.3.1 in an iPhone X, it seems to get trapped in a single book, and I can’t get out of it even if I force close and the-open the app. I trying hitting the little book/shelf icon in the top left, and it just goes right back into the pages of the book itself. Can’t escape. Only solution is to delete the app, reinstall it, redownload your books until it happens again. Quite frustrating.

  • No iPhone X support, old bugs still here

    The iPhone X has been out for a while and there is still no update for this app.

    Additionally, the bug that automatically scrolls to the top of a section when returning from looking at a photo is still here. This makes reading medical textbooks horrendously painful. Imagine a book skipping 50 pages earlier every time you read a picture caption.

    I contacted support and they said that their engineers are “aware of the problem” but that “there is no ETA for a fix at this time.” Fantastic.

  • Makes digital textbook reading in the modern age useless

    Zero features. Sluggish as hell. Doesn’t play nice with Apple Pencil, which it just sees as a finger. Highlighting on my iPad doesn’t seem to work. Should have smaller fonts available in the era of retina displays. Should be better annotation tools that are easy to use. Don’t think their developers have actually spoken to anyone who uses inkling for textbook reading and annotation, otherwise they’d realize how annoying the system is. Wish I could find a way to transfer the books to another app.

  • I agree, this app seems dead

    We have the first update in 8 months, and it’s simply “bug fixes”. No support for iPad split screen (should be required for any reading app), no support for iPhone X screen, no dark mode. I wish I wasn’t locked in to using this app through expertconsult. I loved it in the beginning, hate it now. It makes me sad actually.

  • Worst reader app on my phone

    I have written to the app engineers a couple times over the years about the poor design of this app. No zoom, No rotation, terrible navigation, and now, still no iPhone X support. The response I received on both occasions was that they would consider my suggestions. This app is bare bones dysfunctional. I would never buy another book that uses this platform.

  • Could be better with on simple fix

    This app is very useful! The formatting is well done making it easy to navigate throughout each text book. I also appreciate the ability to highlight and review these highlights later.

    My only gripe is that the text size is a bit small and is it adjustable. It would greatly improve the user experience to have the ability to adjust the text size and make reading more comfortable. Kindle already does this effectively.
