Read.out loud cuts off mid section

Not a well working feature. Needs improvement for sight challenged students.

Is not user-friendly.

It is not user-friendly, especially on mobile devices, compared to Bibliu.

Horrible lag

I have to keep exiting & re entering the app because every time I annotate, it takes up to like 5 seconds for it to even show up. Insane.

Doesn’t show on what page you are

I don’t understand why they prioritize showing your location on the book instead of showing the page. I literally cannot find from where I should start reading for my assignment because it doesn’t show PAGES, only location which is the most useless information.

Horrible app

Not impressed. Can’t read aloud and menu disappears often.

Highlighting not working with iPadOS 27

The highlighter function keeps glitching out and the window to select the highlighter color does not appear when text is highlighted after updating to iPadOS 27.

Workable

The highlighting can be difficult and glitchy. And the options for it to read text are way behind.
But it’s a great tool for textbooks that aren’t available elsewhere.

Sign in not working

When attempting to sign in on both the Mac and iOS apps, it just took me to another sign in window and would never let me sign in

this app sucks

this app sucks, fix it

Awful

So slow it’s unusable, keeps freezing anytime I wanna highlight text or turn the page.

Recent issues with app

I use this app for my textbooks as a college student since I have adhd. In previous semesters it’s worked, but recently the voice over has been stopping at random spots or not reading the full page. Not sure if it’s just my app or something, but I hope it gets fixed soon.

Doesn’t allow me to login

Every time I log in, I’m rerouted back to the login page and can never access my textbook.

The Reader is Robotic

I enjoy the app itself, which is similar to using Kindle. I had planned to listen to chapters while driving, but I don’t like the voice reader—it is so robotic sounding that I turn it off. It’s why I give it three stars. The voice needs an overhaul ASAP.

crashing the book!

Crashes all the time or needs to be restarted during a 30 min reading period

Awful

This tool is awful. It does not read the full page. You have to constantly highlight what you want it to read. It won’t continuously read either. McGraw is so much better. I wish my professors used that instead of this ap. It blows

This app sucks

I cannot sign in on this app, I have signed in numerous times and it will not sign me in DO NOT GET THIS STUPID BUGGY APP

Straight up dumb & useless

Hey if you’re going to have us pay a ridiculous amount at least fix the app!!!! This is why we need to lean more on free pdfs.

Worst app I've ever used

For the past hour or so, I have been trying to access the textbooks online that I have already PAID for. The app keeps having me sign up only to bring me back to the exact same screen saying I don't have any textbooks. This is extremely disappointing and frustrating to deal with. On top of this, every single time I return to the home page NOT signed in, I always get the pop outs of the "tour" and having to press the "finish tour" button. I believe the app developers should focus more on how to actually let the users sign in properly rather than designing a tour of the app where we can't even access our textbooks.

Buns

How am I gonna pay damn near 60 for a textbook just for it to not open half the time when using this app on my iPad. It works fine online to access it but then lags on the app version, or doesn’t even open.

Missing textbook information

For some reason the app version of Kortext cannot display chunks of my Genki textbook. The computer version works fine, but I’m getting nothing but blank pages with the iOS version of Kortext. I have deleted and redownloading the textbook and the app as a whole, to no avail.

Avoid this app
