Useless

Just doesn’t work. All I get is ‘download failed’, no reason given. Wish I could just get an epub instead

Bad, no good, not functional

Login is awful as is every other aspect of this stupid app

Needs Significant improvements

There’s no chapter sections for jumping to when necessary, basic page scrolling which takes too long. Web version doesn’t show my text either, requires downloading of the pdf which should not be necessary.

Barely useful as an e-book reader

No way to search for particular words within the books.

Disgustingly terrible

I tried this app so I didn’t have to download ProQuest books one chapter at a time. I downloaded one book, look at a single page, and deleted the app immediately. The quality is so poor the words were literally illegible. Theres no way to enlarge text either, because I suppose ProQuest hates blind people. Revolting. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Downloads always fail.

Have tried 5 books and only successfully read one. So many bugs

No search. Wrong page numbers

Page numbers do not match printed text, nor can one search. Can’t find specific passages

Useless

This is a terrible app. It provides only the most basic reading features, with no effective highlighting or annotation functions that are standard in any reading app. Navigation is slow and very cumbersome, the few available functions are often unresponsive.
Proquest should return to the use of Adobe Digital Editions until a much better app has been developed.

No books on book shelf

Please design an app that works

Not user friendly

Page numbers start on cover. Cannot increase the size of font ( selected button but it would not load); cannot browse contents (again selected button but it would not load); cannot highlight text. Not good for students or academics alike. Browser equivalent is equally disappointing.

Poor Visuals - basically unreadable

While the app will send you a copy of the book, it’s virtually unreadable both on iPhone and iPad. I don’t understand why or how such a low quality app exists? This was prompted through my university. Is someone getting a kickback or some other form of corruption? If any University/State money went to supporting this app, someone belongs in jail.

Awful

Awfully Awful.

SMH

Downloaded the app and it does not even work.

Pretty poor effort

This is pretty bad as far as e-readers go. I think you can bookmark a page, but that’s about it. There’s no highlighting, no option for notes and no dictionary linked for looking up words. There is no comfortable option for reading at night, just a glaring super bright screen that hurts your eyes. But the worst thing is the navigation. It is quite unbelievably bad. Every time you take a break from reading, the book gets closed and you have to page through one page at a time to find where you were. You can’t even scroll, you have to tap, and there is no slider at the bottom to move through quickly. So time consuming and clunky. To get from one chapter to the next you have to go back to the contents page! I would not use this at all if they didn’t have a monopoly on some of the books I need to read.

you cant find book

even I already add book to the in webapp the app version not show my book. so you cant read book in this useless app

Does not work

Useless I can not access any books, search any books, and it says my bookshelf is empty when it is not

None of the books on my bookshelf are viewable on the app!

Please fix!

Does not work

It was impossible to read using the app. Only blank pages where displayed.

Unusable

Still non-functional. Can download the borrowed book, but cannot see any text. The chapter and page navigation are all unresponsive.

Just use the website

The app is pointless. It lacks functionality in comparison to the website rather than adding anything to the experience. No features, no perks, not helps, you might as well just use the website.
