Great addition to reading.
Thank you for taking the time to add these videos. I was hesitant to read and watch videos additionally but today I gave the videos a shot. The videos really help solidify what’s being taught.
Sound issue
I’m reading a lot of reviews with the same complaint- that they can’t get the sound to work on the videos.
If you un-mute your notifications on your apple device, the sound will work just fine. I’ve had this same issue with a lot of apps.
The app is a bit finicky picking up the pages and loading the videos.

Audio doesn’t work when playing videos
I must have an early first edition of this book that is missing QR codes. This AR app works in that it loads the videos, but unfortunately, videos play without audio for some reason.
Response from developer
Please check the status of your mute switch. iOS does not allow for checking the status of the mute switch.
App sound broken
Any updates coming? Book is useful but bought it on the premise that there would be app videos to help with understanding.
I like the concept but the app is a miss
Like the title says I like the concept of this app but oh man does the app fail miserably.
It takes the app a while to recognize and scan the book page and when the video finally loads up the app doesn't allow me to use any of the on-screen controls(fast forward, pause, etc) let alone use the back button so that I can leave the current video and scan the next.

If you have a digital book…
Didn’t play sound for me until I found a different way, laptop book won’t trigger the sound. I have a kindle copy on an ipad. Fortunately I found it worked using my phone pointed at the ipad (but didn’t work if the book was on my laptop).

No audio
App recognizes the images in the book and loads the appropriate companion video without issue but none of them have audio.
Tech for tech's sake
While this is a cool addition to the book in theory, simple links or QR codes would have been massively easier for all involved (to private YouTube videos for instance). The app needs to be maintained, troubleshooted and updated, simple links don't have the same issue.
I'm currently hunting for a video that isn't included in the app. The book page says go to the website and watch the video for page 037, something which appears not to exist on the website.
Great book but when it comes to adding gimmicks the creators should have thought less about whether they could and more about whether they should.

Out of Date - No Sound
I'd love to be able to hear the videos. Any chance of an update?
good stuff
used this with the free pdf on my ipad and it works like a charm :)))
Functional if gimmicky and odd
The book is excellent, first of all. I had some trouble with the app as it plays no audio if my phone’s ringer is off, even if volume is turned up. The whole AR thing is a bit gimmicky and I’d honestly just prefer a list of videos to having to wave my phone around trying to get it to recognize a page. Did eventually get it to work though

Everything works
Hi, app works perfect for me, highly recommend
Sound doesn’t work. Image focus off
Hard to get app focused on page (awful compared to just camera)
And sound does not work
iPhone 6s
Basically not USABLE.

Sound works, just need to turn off silent mode
I saw a review that reported the app has no sound, and sure enough I tried it and encountered the same problem.
I realized though you just have to turn off your phone’s silent mode switch and the sound works just fine.
Great app!

No sound
I was really looking forward to the tutorials in this book. The video pops up with no problem but there is no sound. I cranked up all the sound levels on my iPhone but still nothing. Oh well, the book itself
Is still very good

Fantastic app
Really neat idea displaying the AR videos. Love the book too.
Did the developers already forgot about this app?
The book is great but the app that comes with it doesn’t work on my phone. I hope they get this updated for iOS 12.2
Sound doesn’t work
Sound doesn’t work on the videos
App Broken. Does not work on iOS 12+
Bought the book hoping to use the app but the app simply freezes.
Don’t bother.
A poor app spoils the book experience.

Doesn’t work great book though
The app used to work. Currently running the latest version of iOS 11 9/19/2018. The book has a link to the video in the back at least. Please update ASAP
