### 1/5 — Can’t Log On

*2026-01-13*

The app is very clunky and won’t let even me log in so that I can access the digital library that I paid a lot of money for. Keeps saying password is wrong, even though that password works for the Artscroll website. Needs to be fixed ASAP please.

### 3/5 — Good content, poor functionality

*2025-12-10*

The amount of material available is staggering. The subscription which gives access to the entire ArtScroll digital catalog is worth it if you actually use the materials regularly. I use this on an iPad. The app itself is slow, crashes frequently, and it is VERY easy to accidentally click the wrong thing and spend the next 1-2 minutes trying to get back to where you were. The popout links are very useful for studying intertextuality. If the app weren’t so slow and the UI were improved to avoid misclicks, it would be an easy 5 stars. As it stands, though, it has some major issues that need to be addressed.

### 1/5 — Functionality of app isn’t great

*2025-11-23*

Aside the fact that the customer service team is not responsive, the app functionality is unorganized for the reader. I use the iPhone app because there’s no PC app option at the moment, which isn’t satisfying or useful to all users. The iPhone app crams everything up to a single screen that’s confusing to use, and just a single tap through scrolling can make you lose your spot where you’re reading from or unnecessarily highlight a whole portion of it. Sometimes you press on a link directed to read from another source and there’s no back option available to return to what you’re originally reading. Terrible app functionality and aside for poor customer service, you need to address this issue where users can access their digital library on PCs without requiring some program that interferes with the full functionality of the PC itself. That’s not right. Fix these issues.

### 4/5 — Great content, very slow app.

*2025-07-24, version 8.62.4*

I have this app on iPad and it’s really slow and takes a while to load anything. The android version is much faster. Needs a major update.

### 1/5 — It’s good but DAF YOMI FREE NEVER UPDATES TO NEW ONE

*2025-05-23, version 8.62.4*

The daf yomi isn’t updating, WHY USNT IT FREE!!!I’m waiting on the new available one. Pls help

### 1/5 — Great content terrible app

*2025-04-28, version 8.62.4*

Artscroll makes great content but the UX is the worst, making it almost not worth it. Needs a major upgrade just to be usable.

### 1/5 — Cannot remove accidental highlights!

*2025-02-21, version 8.62.4*

App support has already been contacted and didn’t respond back to me. There is no way to remove accidentally highlighted anything in the ipad app. The highlights remain permanent. It doesn’t take much for accidental highlights to happen. PLEASE FIX THIS ALREADY

### 1/5 — Crashing in airplane mode

*2025-02-18, version 8.62.4*

It crashes in airplane mode and would not open, and it has been doing this for months – please fix

### 5/5 — ArtScroll is Amazing

*2025-02-09*

Incredible app and awesome customer service! 

Looking forward to be able to one of those iPads that you guys have. 

Thank you for this affordable app I am really glad that I can have a whole library full of books at the palm of my hand anywhere I am at.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-12-19*

I’m really sorry, but this is just a garbage application designed with 75 year old boomers in mind given the large block interface. But it’s impossible for me to understand how they would weave their way around this ungodly maze of clutter with controls worse and less intuitive than windows 95. Everything takes a year to load, there is barely a way to log in and when you finally do there’s no way to log out. 

It’s 2025 people, get with the program and design something useable and user friendly my dudes.
