If I had any other option for my course classes book I wouldn’t choose this app. ### 1/5 — I paid this for nothing *2020-12-21, version 3.2.5* wyy ### 1/5 — Piece of Crap *2020-06-14, version 3.1* This app is a worthless piece of crap. take my advice and don’t waste your time because it doesn’t even let you sign up. The whole ui and login is bugged. You would think Cambridge crap would have some cool features...HAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAA!

If I want to know how to pronounce the word, I just click the button. It’s best app for learning English. ### 5/5 — To Cambridge *2021-06-29, version 3.2.9* This is the best app ever,I don’t know why people have trouble using it . I just want to thank you all for your devotions to teach the world.Thank you again! ### 4/5 — Can’t rotate to the landscape mode *2020-12-23, version 3.2.6* This app works perfect on iPad Pro 2020, except that it can only work in portrait mode. ### 4/5 — It’s good. *2019-12-10, version 2.0.12* You need to add more books like Touchstone and Viewpoin. ### 3/5 — Log out on actual usage please *2021-03-28, version 3.2.7* The idea is awesome. The implementation needs improvement. I may sound somewhat frustrated so please apologize me for my tone. Well I wouldn’t be, had I paid much less for the book. First. I can’t find where else I’m logged in. And even then, I’m supposed to already be logged out there as described in another review developer’s answer. So if I don’t actually use any other device - I would’ve remembered entering my password there!- why am I still logged out every time I’m trying to return back on this single device? This discourages from using the app and encourages a usage of a simple to remember password (read insecurity). Could you rethink please the way this logic is implemented? May be add face id/fingerprint at least? Even my bank account apps allow that! I don’t think Cambridge can’t higher someone who can fix it. Second. The exercises section in the English Grammar in Use is impossible to use on iPhones even with a large screen like mine 11Pro. As soon as you attempt to enter a value it zooms the page in and when you finish your answer and move on then suddenly the whole visible area becomes trimmed to 1/5 of the screen. You have to be an acrobat to try to navigate and finish the assessment! Then clicking the confirmation button and scrolling back to it with two fingers to the middle to click it one more time, well I hope you’re imagining. I was hoping to USE the electronic version and the cost of the book seems to include the high quality ebook although it may say “free” ebook included. However it’s not the case. That’s why I’m disappointed with the purchase as I’m forced to only use the paper version. Despite that please keep up your hard work, I will definitely change the review when these ugly bugs get resolved. Thank you for listening! ### 3/5 — The App technical missing *2020-08-17, version 3.2.2* 1- no horizontal view for the ebook . 2- no way to answer the exercises on the ebook , writing is not possible . ### 3/5 — Delete the sample books. *2019-10-09, version 2.0.12* Could you please remove all the sample books? It’s really annoying. Why I have to see those samples every time in my bookshelf when I open my books which I purchased. How I can’t organise my own bookshelf? I could understand those a lot of inconvenience such as interfaces, inconvenience of typing answers and etc. But it’s seriously hard to understand that you don’t allow us to delete those sample books in our bookshelf. ### 2/5 — The App keeps asking me to sign in *2021-01-03, version 3.2.6* Even though I successfully logged in, it is quite a burden for me to log in for several times --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
