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.

Not what I was hoping for
No continuous play. It stops at every page turn turn it takes 3 clicks to get it to continue to read it loud (that’s in page mode)
Continues mode is even worse. Why can’t this just act like a normal audio book? I paid $86 dollars for this book to specifically have it read pole an audio book and it doesn’t. Very frustrating

Can’t Even Login.
Don’t even bother with this app, you won’t be able to login to your account to even access any of the books. I wanted to try this app because of how bad it feels to read an ebook on a laptop, but looks like I’ll have to stick with that regardless.
Easier on mobile browser
App has fewer features than the mobile browser which is more easy to use. Pen still works there… and you can navigate by page number. Never thought I’d take something simple like c that for granted. Also, on the app, when you are making an “inking” 🐙.. the highlight or writing doesn’t stay on the text? Defeats the purpose to have to go searching for it.

Unusable
The buttons barely work (especially the back button) and it doesn’t let you see the textbooks you downloaded on your computer. I’d use vitalsource or anything else if possible
Genuinely vibe coded garbage
Syncing between the mobile and web app is non existent
I can't even log into the app
I like reading textbooks on my iPad and to see it offline requires the app. I've tried to log in 10+ times and it brings me to a browser within the app and doesn't even log me in. I have no way of accessing my textbook offline now and I already paid for it.
One of the worst apps for books.
Kortext support does not respond, and the “read aloud” option /audio stops every 2 seconds. Wasted like $400 on books in this app just for it to be useless.
Unusable
Stuck in a login loop on iPhone app.
Book Downloads
I never seem to be able to download my books on the app. I’ve had this problem with multiple books over multiple semesters.
Limited features
I would not have used this app had I known the functional limitations. One- It doesn’t link all the accounts (app/desktop). Each device I have to “start over”. Two- the iPhone app doesn’t fit the pages so you are constantly resizing. Three- If you turn the phone to see more of the text the highlighting feature is a hassle, you cannot see the text on the iPhone at the same time you are highlighting. Four- the app does not remember where you left off. Five- The chapter outline is not linked so you have to scroll through the individual pages each time. Terrible for reading a course required textbook. Save your time and money buy elsewhere.

No user friendly
eTextbook limited printing copies ( 10 max per book). Difficult to navigate among pages. Terrible app
Awful
Clunky and awkward. Can’t scroll pages like in kindle. Have to tap the arrows. Doesn’t seem to save my place. If I accidentally close the app, I lose my place every time. It’s very stressful. I am using this app for a PhD course and I’m afraid I’m going to fall behind because I lose so much time fighting from this app.

App struggles to save notes
I’ll highlight text and attach a note to said highlights. However, whenever I reopen the app all of my notes are gone. The Highlighted text are still lit but then note associated with it are just gone.
Lags a lot
Started using Kortext for school and every time i try and use it I have to repeatedly close it out or shut it down since it won’t stop freezing or lagging
Useless
I had to buy an expensive textbook for a class, tried using the app to get full functions, and it has me going in circles to keep signing in. Can’t do anything on the app, without signing in to utilize the textbook. However, the app won’t sign you in.
