### 1/5 — Wrong App download

*2022-05-24*

I downloaded this app in hopes for quick access to my ebooks purchased from the school bookstore. However this is the wrong app and will not let you login with the regular website login information. Instead, download the “Red shelf” (they are over the Follett byte wave website) your regular login information will work on the redshelf app and my books came right up once I logged in. 

Best wishes to a successful school year.

### 1/5 — Wow

*2021-07-14*

The makers of this app clearly didn’t go to college

### 1/5 — Please Update!

*2021-06-27*

This app clearly doesn’t work. Why was the last update 2 years ago?!

As you may have guessed, my login credentials did not work.

### 1/5 — Non-functioning App

*2021-06-08*

Login does not work. Reset password does not work. App design is irrelevant if a user can’t access the system.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2021-03-31*

I currently use the online version of it but I just got an iPad and I’m trying to download the app but it does not let me login I use the books for college but this app is making it hard for me to have easy access to my books even though they are rented.

### 1/5 — Can’t access books

*2021-02-04*

The app refuses to allow my credentials FROM THEIR WEBSITE to work, and that’s so messed up when I’m just trying to access my books for school

### 1/5 — Doesn’t let you log in no matter what

*2020-09-16*

I thought it was me who was misspelling my credentials but after resetting my password and trying through my laptop it went through. I try through here and it’s to no avail. Fix the app!!!

### 1/5 — Login

*2020-09-11*

Will not allow me to login using the credentials that I use on my computer.

### 1/5 — ugh

*2020-09-07*

Im just want an easier way to access my purchased books and the app just doesn't help. I would appreciate some adjusting.

### 1/5 — Waste of time.

*2020-09-06*

I thought the reviews were exaggerated.... until I tried it myself.
