### 2/5 — Desplazamiento

*2026-06-22, version 8.0.6*

Mientras desplazo la página, vuelve o avanza a otros capítulo del texto, me sucede exclusivamente ente con el PALS. Es tedioso tener que estar encontrando la página donde iba, no alcanzo a terminar una plana y se cambia de página??? Tedioso

### 1/5 — Reader won’t open any more.

*2025-12-03, version 8.0.0*

80s book reader does not open it starts and then quits. None of the books I paid for I have access to. Nor the new books I just purchased.

### 3/5 — Hide old guidelines

*2025-11-22*

This app isn’t bad overall. However, as a multi-disciplinary instructor who has been certified over multiple updates, my library is getting full and it is difficult to find the most current materials. I have books still in my library from the 2015 update and no easy way to remove them from view that I can find. This app could really benefit from a “hide book from view feature”.

### 1/5 — After the recent update😫

*2025-09-21*

Please help 🙏😭after the recent update my aha e-reader is glitching and repeatedly inserting pages in-between pages where they do not belong. Also the pictures have the wrong descriptions on them. I’m studying for my first PALS class and was unable to buy the actual book which will be obsolete December.

### 1/5 — Not easy to read the ebooks

*2025-09-12, version 7.4.1*

Using on an iPhone and not easy to read or navigate.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad

*2025-07-31*

The book doesn’t show on the iPad version. It’s in my library but images don’t come up when choosing chapters, etc. iPhone screens are too small to be trying to look at book pages. Please fix the iPad version.

### 1/5 — Won’t allow sign

*2025-07-26, version 7.4*

I’ve tried multiple times to figure out why it signs me in then instantly kicks me out, over and over again.

### 2/5 — Why?

*2025-06-16, version 7.4*

I have no sound on iPad Pro.  Worked for a month.  Tried deleting and reinstalling.  Did not fix.  My DVD IS OLD AND WITH THE NEW UPDATES COMING OUT I DON’T WANT TO INVEST INTO A NEW DVD.

### 1/5 — No me deja iniciar sesión

*2025-06-09, version 7.4*

No me deja iniciar sesión. Lo he intentado muchas veces, instalando y desinstalando la aplicación. No hay forma. Cuando quiero iniciar sesión, abre el navegador y la pagina web, y se cierra de la nada, sin dejarme entrar. Había podido colocar mis datos en primera instancia, y después de eso pasó que se cerró la pagina web. Y así ha sido la constante desde entonces. No me ha servido en absoluto.

### 1/5 — Glitch?

*2025-05-12*

I didn't even get to login when the app started showing jailbreak. My mac is clean without anything being done to it.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK

*2025-05-06, version 7.4*

I should have read the reviews before purchasing an online e-book.

### 1/5 — iPad not working

*2025-04-23, version 7.4*

You cannot view ebooks on the iPad but it works fine on the iPhone??

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated

*2025-03-31*

I downloaded this app to be able to use for teaching classes and the audio does not work on any of my downloaded videos. They also need to add a download all option so you can download all segments instead of clicking each one, or better yet make it so you can choose to download each one or all at once. BIGGEST ISSUE IS OBVIOUSLY NO AUDIO FOR IPADS>.

### 1/5 — Can’t add books

*2026-07-22*

I enrolled in the Heartsaver first aid and CPR course online. The course includes a link to several ebooks which in turn instruct you to download the ebook reader app and then press a “Download” link. All it does is download a text file to my phone. No way to open it in the app. And nothing shows up in the app when I log in with my account. Basically, I can’t access the books at all.

### 1/5 — Glitch does not allow me to login

*2026-06-23*

I just downloaded it. I cannot access the book, and my class is tomorrow. The tutorial has a glitch and will not go away. I cannot swipe past it. I cannot login to it. So it’s useless as the book I cannot read. I tried to read it online and the page does not load. I asked AI, and it had real sources, so I’m not the only one with this issue.  This is awful.

### 1/5 — Not working after update

*2026-06-22, version 8.0.6*

It works fine before.  Only every now and then some videos won’t download or play.  But after recent update, all the videos won’t play.

### 1/5 — eLearning?

*2026-05-25, version 8.0.4*

Everything is blank. Cannot access anything.

### 1/5 — Inconvenient

*2026-05-01, version 8.0.4*

Could be better nowadays. No way to use Apple Pencil, paste copied text/pic. Some bugs are present - goes back to previous topic when scrolling. The book format will be way better than that. Can’t download the file to use it in Books app.

### 1/5 — Aaaa

*2026-02-25*

Eu abaixei o ebook e só dá erro na hora de fazer login pelo iPad, horrível

### 1/5 — App keeps shutting down

*2026-01-22, version 8.0.1*

I purchased the BLS and ACLS eBooks and used to be able to read them using this app, but for the last several months, every time I try to open this app, it just automatically shuts down. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Reader won’t open any more.

*2026-01-12, version 8.0.1*

80s book reader does not open it starts and then quits. None of the books I paid for I have access to. Nor the new books I just purchased.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-12-19, version 8.0.1*

All it does is crash. Can’t even open at the moment

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2025-12-18*

If I pay 60 bucks for a book for a course and I have to use a proprietary app to access that book in order to Study for a test at all, it better be 100% solid so I can access it. And yet here i am  unable to load this app without itcrashing. This is not acceptable.

### 5/5 — Dificultades para ingresar con el usuario

*2022-02-18, version 7.0.0*

Soy un estudiante que recién adquirió el servicio de Aha pero no le permite el ingreso con el usuario y contraseña establecido

### 5/5 — THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE!!

*2021-11-23*

This update that changed the interface fixed all the navigating issues I was having. Before, you couldn’t scroll or select an icon on the top menu without having to try several times or having it lose your place. It’s now simple to select which resource you wish to open and all the top menu items aren’t overlapping. Now it’s a easy to access resource.

### 5/5 — La application se cierra

*2021-11-22, version 7.0.0*

Tengo descargada la aplicacion en mi iPad y en mi Mac y solo abre dashboard y al far click en los textos she cierra

### 5/5 — Review about ACLS E BOOK

It is a comprehensive book .

### 5/5 — Muy útil

*2020-11-11, version 6.4.1*

Resulta genial al usarse en iPad gracias¡!

### 5/5 — AHA Ebook App

*2020-03-18, version 6.1.0*

I love that you can load books onto this app from iPad or IPhone.  It’s a very nice feature!!

### 5/5 — Calificación App

*2020-03-11, version 6.1.0*

Es una excelente aplicación para lectura de ebook

### 5/5 — Great option for people who use their device for reading

*2019-12-08, version 5.15*

Although I would have preferred an eBook option that I could read with my existing eReader apps (e.g., Nook), they have created an app that functions perfectly well.

### 5/5 — If you bought the AHA ebook, use this!

*2019-07-11, version 5.13*

App works as intended, dont see why people are complaining. Its not buggy for me and as long as you download it you can read it offlinee. You must buy the book from their website. I dont believe you can buy a book from the app. I got the ACLS package and the books read and work fine.

Update: After buying this book and using it to pass my ACLS it has been valuable for me to have it as an Ebook. Id recommend this to anyone as it works fine and as intended (and to save the space for carrying the book). If I had one suggestion I wish they would let me print the ACLS algorithms and ecards, but they don't let us.

### 5/5 — Google

*2019-01-05, version 5.13*

No se puede iniciar con gmail en ipad
