Works 30% of the time
Can’t access any study materials due to “Error, try again”. Message. App is outdated and cryptic in terms of usability. CAE doing a disservice to clients who are required to use this…
Active Reader
Horrible to work with. My training provider has used this for several years and they are doing a disservice to their clients. It crashes, doesn’t save my downloads, doesn’t allow printing multiple pages and the list goes on. There is nothing I like about this app.
Slow and buggy
Even on an IPad Pro this app is slow and buggy.
Decades behind
This is not up to standards in the modern age. App is buggy. Interface is outdated and cheaply designed. It is extremely cumbersome to use which does not facilitate a learning experience. This application needs some serious overhauling and come to modern standards for how an education app is supposed to operate.

Crashes when I search for a word.
Nothing stays downloaded. So if this contains information that you need in a timely manner (aircraft documentation via CAE) don’t put your hopes in this terrible excuse for professional software development.
Terrible in so many ways.
Worst PDF reader app I have ever encountered. For how much money we spend on these type ratings you would think CAE would give us a remotely half way usable PDF document viewer to study with. Appalled with the quality. Garbage.
Poorly executed app
CAE customer with many issues using this app. No links to indexed pages, difficult to scroll,does not work in landscape. This app needs a good overhaul.
It simply doesn’t work.
Tried to reinstall it several times. It needs some serious revamping.
Crashes & Takes too Long to Load
I really want this to work. All my CAE docs are on this, however it’s getting deleted because it takes 4-5 minutes to load and crashes the moment I open a document. Not a lot of proper development here and will make many complaints to CAE next week to use something else.
Continually crashes
The biggest issue: After downloading the training material to Active Reader, my iPad Pro couldn’t handle the memory requirements and crashed the app. I closed all other apps that were open in the background to free up available memory, yet the app continued to immediately crash when I tried to re-load it.
What lead to the problem (issue 2): After referencing and closing pdf documents not stored on my device, Active Reader would take 15-30 seconds to “reset”, preventing any action before I could open another document. What a terrible system!

App crashes constantly
This app crashes constantly. Also will not retain login credentials when opened on another device. Feels like it was designed by the people that brought us Windows ME.
Crashes or is slow
App crashes every now and then for no reason while reading a document. Or, sometimes it is very slow loading a document and it needs to be restarted or it just won’t load at all.
No options in the app to report a bug or get support.
For a document sharing, storage and reading option it is actually pretty bad. Better options out there if you have the option.

I like it
A very good app with a great supportive team.
Great app
This app has been progressing along perfectly adapting to the needs of the users! Keep it up!
App is difficult to work with
1) Bookmarking pages in very inconsistent. Some bookmark fine while others seem and then disappear. 2) There is no table of contents indexing of documents that I can find anywhere in the application. Thus working with large documents and not having bookmarks work correctly is extremely cumbersome.
I too am taking a CAE course, and it is expensive for the company who hired me. So the restrictions they have placed...no printing, no exporting to an app that can index a TOC are frustrating as well. That feedback I will make directly with CAE.

Terrible reader
Another dissatisfied CAE customer. The app doesn’t save my login info even when the box is checked. Doesn’t support Apple Touch ID. So I have to login each time I open it. Doesn’t save my bookmarks which makes it painful to navigate a 766 page document.
I see improvements and great support
The app did have its flaws and would crash unexpectedly at times. But it seems that the dev team is working hard at improving the user experience. Since using the app there have been 3 updates. All which have fixed bugs and crashes. There are some lingering bugs, but there’s not doubt in my mind they are working on fixing it for the next release. I have called their support team and they are top notch! Very helpful and seem to care. Looking forward to future releases and using the app more.

Terrible app.
This app crashes so frequently that it is useless.
Great Features, Easy To learn
I love the annotations, and fact that you can you can save certain sections, and search for specific parts of a document. Easy for communicating and asking questions to your trainer! Been part of a few onboardings before and this has by far been the easiest!
Not good for training at all
I never write reviews but it’s horrible with CAE as well. Same problem same issue. Just crashes.
