Unnecessarily complicated
Unnecessarily complicated to require this app to view books I purchased and then require me to authorize multiple adobe passwords. I wouldn’t buy an epublication from ASA again
Clean look, no features
Without the ability to highlight this reader lacks the most basic of features. Along with this lack of study essentials ASA digital books can not be imported to ForeFlight which does have these features. Not a good app which make using ASA’s quality publications less enjoyable and efficient.
Bait & Switch
ASA tells you, you are buying an ePUB book, and withhold the information this book will be stuck on this broken app.
Support is a joke as the guy touts his position wastes your time on an email, doesn’t read the info you provide then says to call in when he realizes he doesn’t truly have a clue.
I knew there was an issue when I downloaded this app and the test sample book in the app, doesn’t even work. Yet support needed the title of the book I purchased which still doesn’t address the broken app.
They got me for $20 and I guess I should take it as a $20 learning experience don’t use any of their apps because if this is how they operate it isn’t worth doing business with this company.

Unable to download.
This is the second and last chance of using ASA ebook reader. First time, the user interface was not very good. App crashed regularly. Two years later I have purchased another ebook. ASA Reader app is broken and will not go past the Adobe ID login screen. To quote ASA customer support “I don’t know what to tell you.”

ASA CT-8080
Need an eBook version of the CT-8080
Meh
Doesn’t return you to the page you were on if you leave the app, continually having to remind the pageI was on even I just go to send a text or whatever and come right back
Not worth it
Why would I pay for books I can download for free from FAA?
Can’t download purchases
Even though I’ve authorized my Adobe ID & it shows on the app, it continues to ask me to authorize my Adobe ID again once I try to download my purchased books. After I authorized it again it just keeps asking me to authorize it again and again. Please fix!
Horrible
Worst app in recent memory...
Besides being slow and clunky, Search doesn't work properly. In the FAR/AIM book, a Search for GPS turns up one, yes one reference, instead of the many that are in the book. This app is so unnecessary...they should just sell you the .pdf and and let you use it with a regular reader. Zero stars.

No annotations
A study guide without annotations is practically useless.
Needs Apple Pencil Support & Annotations
I don't mind having to use a special reader for DRM protected PDF works. But at least give us some of the same features found in other PDF readers to make the experience more enjoyable.
1. Look at the kindle reader app and the way they handle A) Highlighting -- Tap drag automatically highlights AND then gives you color choices and B) Page Turn animations.
2. Look at how PDF expert handles annotations. Having an iPad Pro, with an Apple Pencil makes you want to write your own handwritten notes in the textbooks and documents you are reading. Multiple colors and pen sizes (down to .5) for fine printing as well.
3. Cloud syncing of annotations and highlights.
4. Look at Kindle for the option for "Popular highlights", so you can get a feel for what others, who also bought the book, are highlighting. Helps make study even quicker.
All in all, I tried a few of the other DRM supported iOS readers, and they aren't much better. They all seem to punish readers that buy their books. Give us the features we love in other readers and you'll likely sell more DRM books, IMHO.

Awful!
I purchased a hard copy book that came with a free ebook version(thank goodness it was free) To download the book I had to creat two logins, one for ASA and one for an Adobe ID and then had to login with both to download the content. After that I was finally able to download my ebook...that took awhile. I was finally able to open the book to find that the page loading is terribly slow and distracting when trying to read continuously from page to page. This is a terrible user experience and very frustrating!

Terrible
Needlessly complex. Slow download. I regret buying the oral exam guide on-line; I'll never do it again.
Terrible
Too slow
Just a glorified PDF reader
It's really just a pdf reader, I got a few errors trying to download books, but they looked like server errors. The biggest issue is their FAR/AIM still doesn't have Part 93 in it.
Update Necessary
Needs to be updated. Tends to crash when I try to highlight a section.
It should be upgrade.

Excellent e-reader
My ASA e-book collection was instantly available after logging in, and the books look great on this reader. Nice indexing to help find things.
