Terrible app

Makes you log in and download all your purchases after every app update. No other app wastes so much time.

Terrible App

I am someone who uses digital copies of books very often. It is much more convenient and I don’t need more clutter around my house. I very much wish that they would make these books available for Kindle, however, you have to use their online app. Given how atrocious the app is, and the online reading experience as a whole, it makes zero sense to me why the book would be charged full price. They should either make these books available for Kindle, at which point I would be happy to pay full price, or-if they are insistent on forcing this horrible app, they should add the e-book experience for free to be included with every purchase of the hard copy as many other publishers do. App is unusable.

Like the app but….

I like the app, but the audio reader does not work a lot of the times I’m trying to listen to the ebooks on my shelf. Not sure if you’ll fix that, but when you do I’ll update my rating. Besides that issue, the app is easy to use and I like how the display for ebooks is. It reminds me of kindle.

So bad I had to write about it

I’ve used perhaps a half dozen ebook apps, and this is by far the worst. It crashes regularly, and it doesn’t even save my place when I switch from this app to another temporarily (e.g., to answer a phone call or check an email). What’s worse, if i receive the in-app pop-up display that asks for feedback, it sends a dissatisfied user to an email form to fill out. This would be good if that process allowed me to actually send my feedback! Instead, the app locks up.

I’ve never written a review for Apple’s App Store before, but this app was so egregious I had to.

Buggy app almost unusable

It is quite frustrating trying to read a book on this application. Every time I want to use it it deletes my books, puts a book i don’t own on my bookshelf and forces me to sign out, sign in again and redownload my book. It seldom saves the page I am on. APA publishing should contract through kindle or kobo. This makes the field look poorly
