User reviews

Easy and useful

I practice my English and sometimes also I learn something new. The only bad thing about them it’s that they’re not infinite. Please update more content for learning Arabic

Missing content

The app absolutely has potential to be a genuinely helpful tool and is a genuinely helpful tool, when it contains the promised content. I use mcgrawhill workbooks sometimes for tutoring, and recently discovered that the “read and think in French” is missing audio content that is promised in the workbook. It ended up being detrimental to my student’s learning and I needed to pivot last-minute in order for them to get the work done w the proper experience. Hopefully Mcgrawhill sees this and does something to remedy this issue.

Older version isn’t available for your device

I wish that language lab work on older versions. Otherwise good

Lacking a lot

Haven’t bought one in years, but typical textbook behavior. Lacking the edition I bought (yet advertise on the book cover this app). Also there’s no context for anything in the app. Feels like they just whittled down the textbook into a cheap spreadsheet to feed into what is one of the ugliest, ineffective UI’s I’ve seen in an app. 1 star for doing the absolute least effort in delivering a product. I’d up it to 2 stars if my edition was represented and I’m mistaken.

Other reviews are complaining too much

Not to say the other people’s complaints are not valid. It would be great if the app would remember what book you have but in my experience the app is a great companion to the book. Highly recommend so you can hear the pronunciation of words and do the flash cards.
