User reviews

Exceptionnel, plus que fabuleux , mais problème

De nombreux bugs! Ça marche puis, hop, ça ne marche plus. Et puis, bon, ça remarche. L’ergonomie n’est pas pensée de la façon la plus efficace. Mais appli indispensable: une des raisons majeures d’être fier d’appartenir à la culture française.

Dommage

Une appli qui ne fonctionne plus. Dommage, car le lecteur de documents était rapide et pratique. Oui, il y a des gens qui lisent encore des documents sur leur téléphone…

Ne fonctionne plus

Comme il a été noté par d’autres, les favoris ne fonctionnent plus, pas plus que le téléchargement. L’application est donc inutilisable. Pour l’éternité apparemment.

Search tool sucks

It’s very hard to navigate in search tool. Barely can switch among Category/Author/Title etc. Search results even not match to the key words. Diacritics for non-French are wrong. So many errors in one app.

Bugs à répétition

L’application pour IPhone bugue souvent ; à améliorer
