Works but clunky
If you have an Adobe account, you now have to create a BookBytes account to use for log-in before you can send books to this app; you also must click that you have an Adobe account and want your books migrated (even if you don’t have other books). Otherwise it kicks back an error message that you already have an account.
Once I did that, I could finally open my book here, but I can’t figure out how to share the file with my kindle. My whole purpose for using this was to send a book to my child’s kindle e-ink reader since they can’t install other apps.
I was hoping this would be more simple than the other clunky methods of doing this, but at least they work.

Do not bother.
Adobe honestly couldn’t be a worse company at this point. Multi-billion dollar corporation that cannot get a simple ebook reader off the ground. Do not waste your time on this pathetic app, it simply cannot function at any capacity whatsoever. Will not log you in, open books, or download books correctly.

The Worst
The most user unfriendly app I have ever used and adobe support is abysmal. Should be taken off the app store since it is unusable. Do not waste your time or energy with this app.
WORST APPLICATION OF ALL TIME
This is the the worst app I have ever used in my entire life.
Terrible
It doesn’t work
Adobe Garbage
Do no purchase. Oh I know it’s a free viewer, but the content is not. This is the worse app I have dealt with in my adult life. And I clicked on the koobface link!
Poorly Designed
This app is very flawed. It randomly swipes over 3 pages. On my iPhone 16, the words end up behind my front facing camera and I have to move the page around to read the words obscured due to this, which results in the app freezing for 10 seconds. When you swipe to the next page, the words are blurry and take about 7-12 seconds to load. It randomly doesn’t save my place and I have to try to remember where I was when I reopen the app.
I like that it has a dark mode and I can change the font size.

This app is useless. Will not let you log in and provides no tech support.
POS of a program !!!!!!!
Doesn’t work on IOS !!!!!
Trash app
I bought this book from NASW and they told me I had to download adobe digital editions to access this book. I couldn’t even access this app on my laptop so I downloaded it on my iPad. I can’t log into my adobe account at all and I know it’s the apps fault because I changed the password myself and I’m literally looking at my account settings as I’m typing in my username and password but yet it still wasn’t working. I’m also giving NASW press a bad review because their customer service was awful. They should have just sent me a regular pdf like normal companies would. I got a refund on the ebook but this just agitates me cause now I’m going to have to order the book and recieve it late for my class 💀

Diabolically poor
I’m forced to use this piece of garbage to read HPE Press titles and it manages to make a modern iPad Pro run like a dog. It’s slow, it fails to render some pages, page numbers don’t work. A disgracefully bad piece of software that doesn’t even deserve a 1 star rating.
Garbage
I bought the pdf of a textbook and was forced to download it thru this app. Big waste of $$$. These companies do a disservice to students and education when we are forced to use these terrible apps. But I suppose it doesn’t matter to them as long as the corporations keep making millions in profits off the backs of hard-working students. I was forced to use this app for my textbook but if you have a choice, choose anything else!!! You’ll save yourself a lot of frustration and disappointment

Hide your face, whoever concocted this unusable mess
Made from bits of string and sellotape
Seriously?
This app is the worst. It won’t let you change the ebook vendor to even sign in. I remember trying to use this for uni work too. Doesn’t work. Totally useless. Surely they can ask literally anyone with a small amount of app knowledge to update it in the slightest so it’s even usable?
Login Issues
The app doesn’t allow you to login or select another publisher to login through them. Useless app.
Doesn’t work
This app is a buggy mess. Avoid this hot garbage.
Infuriating
Dysfunctional and abandoned app by Adobe. Was forced to try and download and use this archaic and abandoned app after buying a digital cookbook from the American cancer society. Spent $4 on ANOTHER dysfunctional app called Bluefire Reader which is equally broken. All to try and read a cookbook. Adobe needs to delete this altogether or update it. It’s not a complicated idea.

Is there a worse app?
I am furious. I bought an ebook ($40) and now I am unable to read it because it app does not work at all. It won’t allow me to create an ID. When I click on “create ID” the page change to a page you cannot click on. Thank goodness I didn’t pay for this app. Now I have to spend $50 to buy the book in print.

App crashes when you attempt to search
Last update 5 years ago…?
I’m taking a psychology class and I have to read a book and the free version is using this app and it literally does not want to load at all. So stressful.
