iCloud Storage Issues

Downloading a title in-app instantly caused my iCloud back to exceed the free 5 GB storage limit, but no options existed in settings to prevent this app from being backed up. The solution was to delete the app entirely and re-download just the app without downloading an titles in-app. That's not very user-friendly and took a while to understand what app was causing the storage issue and how to solve

Avoid at all costs

This is hands down the worst app I’ve used in years. I bought a Hueber ebook expecting a usable digital version of the course, but instead it’s been a total waste of money. The “interactive” activities don’t even match the book, notes written with their clunky editor vanish the moment you close the app, and the navigation is a nightmare. The whole experience feels unfinished and unusable. Save yourself the frustration and avoid at all costs. Whoever signed off on this app should seriously reconsider their line of work.

Too much space.

App takes up too much space, around 11GB for me. Not recommended for work use.

Horrible

It crashes. Features don’t work. Not user friendly. It freezes. The list of glitches is extensive. One more thing, if you a book will only allow you to access for a determine period of time. You don’t buy the book actually, you buy a one-time, limited time access license.

RIP OFF!!

Status bar

Works fine but one glitch. Why does iPad status bar NOT disappear as it used to?

Terrible for anotation using apple pen

The app randomly removes anotation from the book

Can’t select the button at the bottom of the page

The page doesn’t stay in place for me to select the button when I am answering questions.
Not a good app.. should have stuck with Huber interactive instead.

Couldn’t log in

Tried to log in with my Microsoft exchange school account & every time I authenticated it just reset

Doesn’t let you log in

It is terrible

Doesn’t work

It took about 30 minutes of troubleshooting to login. And once logged in, I couldn’t even do anything. I was stuck on a downloading page for 40 minutes and just gave up.

Doesn't even let you login

Just bought book, made account. Downloaded app and tried to login to my account. Says there is no account. Go on web login same details works fine. App needs such a basic update come on

It’s better than Klett app

There are no many choices buying a Klett digital book. Klett App did not work at all on my iPad and is not user friendly but this app is.
There are some errors on the digital book I use, nothing major.

I enjoy that you can check instantly the words you don’t know.
I wish there was an easier way to take notes with the app itself and that I could faster switch between highlighter and pencil.

There is still room for improvement .

So buggy

Literally worse than the website. Didn’t think that was even possible with an app

Won’t let me download the textbook

The app in general is quite slow and buggy, but my main issue is that it won’t let me download the textbook, it keeps giving me an error saying I don’t have enough space, even though I deleted a lot of files and I have more than 7GB of space available, I seriously doubt one textbook is anywhere near that size so it’s ridiculous that it tells me it can’t download the book because I don’t have space.

Doesn’t save reliably

This is not a good app. Besides that it’s slow, like really slow sometimes (and I’ve downloaded my books so it’s not an internet issue), it randomly does not save my work. Incredibly frustrating when you’ve spent time writing in notes from the teacher and highlighting key parts to review and rewrite later… I would never use this again except that a language school I’m taking classes from uses a book I can’t get in print in Canada. If they don't fix these issue…stay far away.

Works great!

App works fine for my classes, not sure what issues others are having

Amazing app! Great work

Thank you to the developers of this app! It is great and allows me to complete my assignments on the go.

I fear for my personal information / Temo por mi información personal

In order to use this application one needs to create an account at Blink Shop and pay the books through the web.
After I created my account I received an email with the password I just entered in the website. I cannot emphasize enough how insecure an email is, anyone can read it.
I complained in their webpage and they promptly answered me indicating that they fixed the issue and will not longer be showing the sensitive information.
However, if they could sed the password in clear text over email they can read my password (stored in clear text as well). If they get hacked (and we know how feasible this is) my information and all yours will be exposed.
Password should never be stored in plain text, they should be hashed and salted.
I write this review because after their first answer indicating the email fix they disregarded the rest of the communication referring to the password storage.

Para usar esta aplicación se debe crear una cuenta en Blink Shop y hacer el pago de los libros en la página web.
Al finalizar mi inscripción recibí un email de esta plataforma con mi clave. No se cómo enfatizar que un email es un método inseguro de comunicación y que cualquier persona puede leerlo.
Puse una queja en su página web y atendieron mi queja indicando que habían corregido el error y que ya no desplegarían más esta información sensible.
Sin embargo, si ellos pudieron enviar mi contraseña por email quiere decir que la tienen almacenada de manera legible, si los hackean (y ya sabemos lo probable que esto es) mi información y la de todos ustedes queda expuesta.
Las claves nunca deberían ser almacenadas de manera directa, deberían estar “hashed and salted” no se como escribirlos en español.
Escribo esta calificación ya que luego de corregir el envío de password por email desecharon rápidamente el resto de mis comentarios.
