### 5/5 — Super pratique

*2026-02-25*

Application très simple d’utilisation. Elle est très pratique en tant qu’étudiant. Ça permet de réduire le coup d’achat des livres et d’avoir plusieurs ouvrages sur soit. Elle ne prend pas beaucoup d’espace de stockage. Je la recommande pour tous les étudiants qui ont besoin de manuels et de livre pour leurs révisions.

### 3/5 — Laissez nous ouvrir les images !

*2026-01-08*

L'application est extrêmement utile pour les révisions surtout hors connexion, mais l'interface différente des collèges (avec les partis colorées pour mieux retrouver les rangs A, B et C) et surtout l'impossibilité d'ouvrir les images pour pouvoir lire les tableaux ou les schémas c'est très décevant !

### 3/5 — Bon principe

*2025-10-08*

Application permettant d’accéder à des livres payants de facon gratuite grace aux universités.  Pourrait facilement etre améliorer sur de nombreux point. Notamment la présentation des documents, pourquoi ne pas prendre exactement celle du livres ? Ca serait 10 fois mieux. L’outil de modification est vraiment insuffisant, il faudrait que l’on puisse les modifier sur une autre app.

### 5/5 — Sit lux et veritas.

*2025-09-26*

Sit lux et veritas.

### 4/5 — Très utile

*2025-09-10*

Je suis en licence infirmière et comment dire que cet outil m’aide beaucoup pour mes études. Il y a énormément de choix de livre pour optimiser mes révisions et améliorer mes connaissances. Je recommande vivement !

### 1/5 — Aplicacion regular

*2025-09-01, version 11.2*

No me abre los libros que agrego en la agina web

### 5/5 — Ideal para tablets

*2025-06-22, version 11.0*

Permite estudiar en cualquier lugar

### 3/5 — Lent

*2025-02-11*

Application trop lente apparition des images de l’Atlas Anatomie vrt longue

### 3/5 — Pratique mais manque des fonctionnalités

*2025-01-26*

C’est très pratique pour pouvoir lire ses collèges ou autre, mais il manque de choix de couleurs pour les surligneurs et encore plus important, le fait qu’on puisse prendre des notes écrites. On ne peut malheureusement pas écrire, on peut juste surligner et c’est ce qui est dommage

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2024-11-27, version 10.5.2*

Muy buena aplicación para visualizar los libros de Clinicalkey. Cambiaría un par de cosas porque hay ciertos errores pero nada que no se pueda arreglar.
