This app is made by the devil himself

Every time I scroll down or up there is a chance it goes to the previous page. How can something as simple as that not function normally? Horrible user experience, I wanted to throw my iPad at the wall.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear the page keeps changing when you’re trying to scroll, and we understand how frustrating that must be when you’re trying to study. Please contact us at CGO@cambridge.org with your device details so we can investigate this further.

Data gone

I used to save many books in this app to read later. However, after logging back into my account recently, all of my saved books have completely disappeared.

There seems to be an issue with data synchronization or account cloud storage. I hope this bug gets fixed soon, and I would like to know if there is any way to recover my lost data. Looking forward to your response.

Keeps logging me out

This app keeps logging me out every now and then. When logging in with same credentials as web browser, it doesn’t go through. It doesn’t have option for reset password.
