Read Aloud Feature
The voices in English are so robotic. It’s annoying to listen to. I’ve adjusted the speed and it’s even worse.
Audio
The audio option is terrible. You can barely understand what is being said. I even tried changing the settings and the different voices and none of them helped. Just read the book yourself.
Too many app crashes
I can’t keep up with lecture or reading when apps always closing on its own when jumping to another chapter.
Highlights
Everything is perfect except the highlighting feature doesn’t work well on the app. I have the app on my phone and tablet. It will offer to highlight but when you try to do it doesn’t actually show in color what you “highlighted”. I have to go on the web outside of the app to do my reading to highlight

Keep up with the trend and add the highlight/note feature!
PLEASE ADD THE HIGHLIGHT AND NOTES FEATURE!! almost every device has a pencil feature so please keep up with technology!
Audio voice
I would like to have the option of writing on the worksheets
Crash
App doesn’t load, crashes
Videos
I’m already wrapping up my degree, I should’ve wrote this a long time ago but it makes no sense that we can’t view the videos that are shown in the online textbook. I pay so much for these books and assignment programs but something as simple as a video doesn’t display on the app. Shows up as a 401 message…

Loses position in book
It's an okay app, but some minor annoyances persist. It will always lose my position in a book by a few pages, for whatever reason it just goes backward a few pages and I have to go find the point where I had already reached earlier.
Terrible audio voice
Sounds like the first robot voice from your toys in the 80’s, come on people!
Best in Books
Hi, I like bookshelf because it is the best. I can take a library with me whenever I travel and read whenever or wherever I am. Who would have thought that books would be interesting and useful.
Crash
Crashes on launch
App still crashing
I downloaded the update version 11.4.2 and now I can’t open the app. It keeps crashing. Please fix immediately!
La voz es fea
Es un poco difícil comprender por la voz irreal.
Bookshelf sucks
Vital source doesn’t allow you to own your books anymore and they use this janky app to make you do it. They dont even take the time to get a half decent AI reader either.
Eeehh
I’m enjoying listening to the textbook throughout the day. The issue is it takes me back pages. If I’m in the car and change to anything else it doesn’t save my spot. For example, I was listening to page 85 and had to put an address in and went ahead put on music.
Well when I went back I was on page 50.
Sometimes I don’t even know what page I am on since I’m listening and have my phone down.
It’s a very big inconvenience if I don’t notice right away to re listen to an old chapter

Can’t open the app
The app was great. What happened to it lately. I cannot access the app
Horrible design
Why are the margins so big? It can only fit like one paragraph per page! And why is it so easy to swipe forward a whole section of the textbook, but you can't swipe back the same way?
Awful read aloud
I paid for this book twice in order to have a hard copy and a copy for read aloud, assuming since it advertised the function that it would be decent. It is horrid. I wish I had saved my money and just used an app instead. The voices are ridiculous. I never review things unless they’re amazing or awful, so I hope this helps someone.

Too glitchy
Only select books will let you use the AI enhanced voices. It doesn’t let you use all of your voices that are available in your accessibility options. It seems to always be loading a buck when you’re connected to the Internet, even though you download it.
