App won’t even log in

The app is broken or glitched. It won’t log in and keeps sending me in circles. The only way I can access Access is through my institution.

Unable to log in

This app is not usable. It asks for my login, then to click to open the app, then brings me back to the login. It’s an infinite loop and I’m unable to access any material. Also received no response when I emailed them about this issue.

Unable to log in

Even with typing password or temporary link, it’s stuck in an infinite loop where I can’t log in. Used to like this for quick reads, now it’s terrible. I can’t even access anything because it won’t let me log in.

Worthless for books

Only the chapters of books are available (the appendix and introduction are absent) yet there isn’t an option to search through all chapters at once for a specific word or phrase, so using a book as a study reference is exceedingly difficult and time consuming because I don’t know where to go to look up the things I want to read about.
Plus, I can’t access the last section of chapters in any book that has grouped them together, due to a glitch in the app.

I’m very unhappy and frustrated with this app, it’s inhibitory to the learning process.

Sign in problems

I havent been able to log in for so long, the sign in window is glitched or smn, because right after putting the password, it tells to click on the open button to access the app’s content, but instead it takes you to the same stupid sign in screen again

Not able to access content since last week

App has been good, but sometimes unable to access content since 1 week

Useless?

I downloaded the app. I put my username and password in. It asked me to open the app and it send me back to the sign in prompt. Over and over again. Useless.

Not able to access Murtagh collection

The apple app and web format is completely different. I can’t find Harrison in books or Murtagh collection or the other access like access cardiology in this app

Response from developer

Hi Sks2024, thank you for your feebdack! We apologize about the formatting differences and are working on this. In order to access Harrison’s, your account must be connected to an institution that subscribes to AccessMedicine. Similarly, for Murtagh, please ensure your connected institution subscribes to the Murtagh collection. Lastly, the same institutional subscription requirement would apply for cardiology texts and AccessCardiology. If you have any issues accessing these texts after connecting your account to a subscribing institution, please reach us at customersuccess@mheducation.com.

Totally broken

The search function is unusable. It will say there are results for your search, but will not display them and will instead state “Sorry we didn’t find anything”. Accounts do not sync properly with your online account. Books, collections, and favorites are not added appropriately. Just another broken, useless app pushed onto students that offers no benefit.

Hi Kozi2013, thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for the trouble you’ve experienced with accessing app content. We want to assure you that we’ve validated that the search function is working as expected in the latest version of the app. Please make sure your app is updated to the most recent version, as older versions may not sync properly. Once updated, your login should sync seamlessly between the app and the web, and your books, collections, favorites, and recently viewed items should also appear consistently across both platforms. If you continue to experience issues after updating, we’re happy to assist further—please reach out to us at customersuccess@mheducation.com.

Crashes and logs me out

App continues to crash and log me out every time I try to view content with paid subscription. Attempted to fix 3x. Terrible quality and very glitchy/hard to navigate within textbook. Don’t waste data downloading it.

Search bar unusable

App was great until recently. Every time I attempt to use the search bar I receive the following statement: “We are having some technical difficulties. Please try again, or return to your dashboard.” I am unable to use this app and it is consequently very frustrating. If this were corrected, I would give the app 5 stars.
