### 1/5 — Doesn’t even open

*2025-09-24, version 3.2.12*

The app doesn’t even open.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

Won’t even open

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load on iPhone

*2025-06-22, version 3.2.12*

Looks like the last update was 2 years ago. Doesn’t load on iPhone or iPad.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-03-17, version 3.2.12*

Accidentally signed myself out, and ever since I keep getting a server error message and can’t login again. Considering how much their books cost, one would think they’d at least hire someone capable of making a useable app.

### 1/5 — Emond Reader

*2023-04-19, version 3.2.12*

Easily the worst company I have ever purchased a text book from. If possible I would highly recommend purchasing any books one may need from any company aside this one.

### 1/5 — worst textbook reader app

*2023-02-13, version 3.2.12*

impossible to use on a mobile device, doesn’t let you copy and paste text directly from the book, glitches frequently, very much not conducive to textbook learning. would not recommend.

### 1/5 — App Continuously Crashes - iOS 16.2

*2023-01-15, version 3.2.12*

The Emond app will not even open for me! I paid $150 for a book that is essentially vapourware. Steer clear of ANY Emond ebook because of the unreliability of their proprietary ebook app.

Save your money and buy a book used from a student!

Emond, if you are reading this review. Please fix your app. I’m running an IPhone 13 Pro Max on iOS 16.2 and have been unable to open your app for MONTHS. Completely unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-10-09, version 3.2.2*

Bought book on their website then it tells me to open in their reader. Download the app try to open the book in the app, but then it prompts me to open the book in the app…..when I’m already trying to open it IN THE APP. Fix your app or let people use legitimate PDF reader programs.

### 1/5 — Student

*2022-09-30, version 3.2.2*

IPad has white screen. I have to reinstall the app each time. Also does not offer split screen support or voice reader functions. Really quite dissatisfied considering the amount we pay as students.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy books does not work

*2022-09-29, version 3.2.2*

Will not download books. Continuously display error make sure you are connected to the internet when you try to download a book. Does not work. Save your money don’t buy their ebooks. Total scam

WHAT’S NEW 



Leave Tips on your favourite content 


The new Tips feature allows the publisher to define a library-wide form that users can fill out to share insights about a title. Users can submit Tips Data attached to specific content points that can be viewed and commented upon by other users (moderated). Publishers can review these tips within the Dashboard and then publish them to the user population so other users can see the insight provided by their peers. 



Read Critical Bulletins added by the publisher 

This feature is similar to “Tips”, but bulletins come directly from the publisher and can be marked “critical”. Critical bulletins will show as a modal alert when the book is opened, and the user must dismiss them explicitly (at least once per affected title). Useful for sharing critical information with your user base within one or more titles. Content Owners can deploy Bulletins providing timely informational updates between content versions​.  



Easily leave your feedback for publishers to find 

This allows the publisher to define a library-wide “feedback” form that users can fill in, within the title, and send to the publisher (via the Dashboard) notifying them of content issues, ccomments and other information specifically for the publisher to view and act on. Publishers are offered a “Kanban” board style interaction that allows them to mark feedback as complete or not.  



Improved download speed 

The introduction of the new download produce allows concurrent handling for titles has greatly improved Reader app performance in all things. This new approach has massive performance increases for the download of titles within the proLibro system. Addition of a new feature allowing the deletion or printing of multiple favorites and annotations at once. Optimizations have been made to the “Available titles” section of the library to minimize the amount of data pulled from the server when not necessary.
