## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-03-14*

Just terrible. Never again. Paying £30 a month for a GSCE Course. Notworth a 10th of that. Be warned!!!

### 1/5 — Truly awful

*2025-03-05*

The most horrific experience possible to be had on an iPhone.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-03-05*

It’s just awful

### 1/5 — Do not buy the subscription

*2024-04-09*

Just wasted £5 on the subscription and 1-2 hours of my study time, only for all the ebooks to show up as “Loading…” I attempted it on my chromebook, my tablet, and my phone. I even tried using data incase my wifi was causing the issue. But nope, it’s the website, and the app is no help whatsoever either.

### 1/5 — A waste of money

*2024-02-12*

The formatting is terrible and you can’t turn a page!  I bought an ISEB book and went to interactive mode and writing, and photos were overlapping each other. Do not by a book on the platform and don’t even download the app!

### 1/5 — Does not allow me to access my purchases book

*2023-06-10*

Horrible app

### 1/5 — Hopeless on a phone

*2023-06-07*

Unlike most ebook readers it doesn’t scale to the screen so you have to move around pages that are no better than scanned versions of the physical books. You have to enlarge them to be able to read and so can’t see full paragraphs at once and you end up turning the page by accident as you try to read the edge of paragraphs. These aren’t proper ebooks - they are simply a way to view the hard copy on a (small) screen.

### 1/5 — Don’t use this.

*2023-01-16*

This app is horrible, please don’t use it. Second day of using it, it asked for my fingerprint and Banking details. Do not download!

### 1/5 — NOT COMPATIBLE

*2021-11-12*

Utter trash won’t use again

### 1/5 — Worse than ur mom

*2021-10-14*

It is very doge

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2025-05-17*

Very good app . Used app for beaconite ebook

### 5/5 — Useful for home learning.

*2024-02-22*

Really useful. Pages turn easily. Quality is good

### 5/5 — Not good

*2022-09-27*

Inappropriate for school use. Is extremely dodgy.

### 5/5 — I find this a splendid and pleasureable app

*2021-09-10*

Very epic and pog

### 4/5 — Fine

*2023-10-01*

It’s weirdly shady but it works fine. In my opinion just get the real book, this app seems a little dodgy.

### 3/5 — Good but buggy

*2026-07-04*

The most recent book I’ve just bought won’t actually download. It cost me £15 - this app was straight from the book so should really invest a bit more in the software because it seems very average. All in all this is a really cool little app for revision

### 3/5 — Works okay

*2022-09-13*

Works okay but really needs Split View support!

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2022-09-03*

Misprints throughout and MUST SUPPORT SIDE BY SIDE WINDOWS!!!!

### 2/5 — Painful

*2025-11-09*

It works, but the interface is not fluid at all on a mobile device. It requires the user to learn the quirky interface and nuances to be able to navigate at all. Entirely unnecessary if only the books would be made available through the existing industry leading e-readers such as Kindle or iPhone Books.

### 2/5 — Very mid

*2024-11-21*

Interactive filter doesn’t work on phone so can’t do listenings
