### 2/5 — Terrible annotation implementation

*2025-07-22, version 5.6.8*

Title says it all really. No palm detection, no pencil only annotation, no recognition of finger actions being different from pencil.

### 2/5 — App ignoriert Ton-Aus und spielt beim Starten einen Jingle

*2022-11-15, version 5.2.2*

Bedienung wirkt, als sei sie auf Rechner und nicht auf Mobiltelefone ausgelegt.

### 2/5 — Terrible ebook app

*2022-06-02*

The page scroll is really buggy.  Taking notes with an Apple Pencil is a terrible experience (digital note taking circa 2007).  Slow response time.  I wouldn’t recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Apple should not be recommending this App

*2021-01-10, version 5.0.9*

I downloaded the app at Apples recommendation which I assumed wrongly would be a user friendly app. Sadly this is not the case. All I get is a “No body is at home message”!

### 2/5 — Really disappointed by having to restart every few minutes

*2020-10-04, version 4.1.47*

Idea is very good, the trouble is that all that is no use if document goes all blurry every 5-10 minutes and only restart of the app helps. And online help person advises it's bandwidth (when I was working in offline mode!) or tells me to change browser (I was using app). Disappointment from what could have been a great app

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-10-01, version 4.1.47*

Pages stay out of focus. Reading side by side temperamental. Frustrating

### 1/5 — Frustrating, slow and clumsy

*2020-06-14, version 4.1.35*

Using the app feels like going back in time about 20 years. I am supposed to write in it, which is a real challenge. I have to have about 5 go-s at each sentence and then you realise the text didn’t go where you meant it to be. Then the whole app freezes and I can’t open any file. I am sure the idea behind it was good but it’s really far from user-friendly, it just doesn’t work very well.

### 1/5 — Shockingly poor performance

*2020-05-08, version 4.1.21*

Running this on a new iPad Pro - documents do not load on the first attempt then flicker badly when scrolling. Scrolling is painfully and nowhere near the smooth experience it should be on an iPad. 
There are a lot of tools but not intuitive or standard. 
Needs serious improvement.

### 1/5 — Good initiative poorly executed

*2020-04-12, version 4.1.21*

I’ve been using this application for quite a few days now (pretty intensively might I add) and I just can’t seem to get it to work properly.
The documents I am meant to be reading either take forever to focus in when zooming or just don’t focus at all. This makes learning extremely difficult, because the application that’s meant to help you prepare and keep you focused for future exams is the exact reason why you keep losing your focus.
At the end of the day it is just supposed to read .PDFs, but it seems to be a challenge. Yeah, sure it’s a free application, but the course materials on there are by no means free, please improve caching within the application.

### 1/5 — Das darf nicht wahr sein

*2019-10-25, version 4.0.22*

Träge, inneffizient und dann kann einem auch noch alles Mögliche verboten werden. Und das soll man tatsächlich verwenden? Eine einzige Zumutung!

### 1/5 — Annoying to use

*2019-10-16*

Nothing about this app is any good.

### 1/5 — Cannot login

*2017-04-21*

Created account on my desktop. Cannot log in from this app.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2017-02-22, version 2.2.5*

Slow PDF viewer that crashes then takes you back to the beginning of the document.  Only use it because it is the only way to access the vendors training material.  The solution from the vendor was to use the chrome browser.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unable to view content

*2025-03-20, version 5.6.1*

Content never loads, whether from the web or offline content.  The Support button in the App Store doesn’t work.  @Mimeo, Screenshots available if you contact me.

### 1/5 — Horrible Neon Green Header

*2024-11-29*

The app itself is cumbersome to use but the worst part is the neon green border and highlights it uses. It is very distracting and honestly offensive to the eyes to stare at for hours on end while reading. PLEASE CHANGE IT!!!

### 1/5 — Just plain bad design

*2024-03-13, version 5.4.10*

Annotations function is just horrible and I have to scroll back to where I left off every time I switch between documents. Will delete the app once I’m done with the course materials

### 1/5 — Blank Screen

*2023-12-30*

The only thing that shows on my iPad is a blank screen. Works fine on my phone and laptop, but will not work on any browser or in the app on my iPad that has no other connectivity or internet issues. Big disappointment.

### 1/5 — No review needed

*2023-06-08*

Just try scrolling on a document on here. See what you think and ask if this is good work or not.

### 1/5 — Useless - slow and blurry

*2023-01-17, version 5.2.6*

I was provided course documents through this app and it was useless - slow & blurry

### 1/5 — Completely unusable

*2021-08-14, version 5.0.72*

I had the mimeo problem of fuzzy text in browsers - when reading off-line, so nothing to do with network speed - besides only mimeo gives that fuzzy text, presumably it’s some ancient security measure.

Anyway this app is worse. It won’t even allow me to log in! Support just times out, so no help there.

### 1/5 — Event Coordinator or Facilitator

*2021-06-06, version 5.0.66*

Event Coordinator or Facilitator never sent me the key to redeem and use the library. Too many steps to complete between app installation and setting up an account. I was never able to use properly the app even though emailing them a few times, very frustrated that nobody provide me propor information.

### 1/5 — Bad apps

*2021-04-27, version 5.0.24*

After redeeming the book, I can open it, but the next time Whenever I want to retrieve this book from Library, it always hangs ...

### 1/5 — Simply does not work

*2021-03-01, version 5.0.15*

Gets stuck on “one moment please...” indefinitely every time I try to access my courseware.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Works

*2020-08-22*

More stable than using iOS Safari.

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2020-08-15*

The program is so user-friendly, with fun backgrounds and so easy to create right from the Photos Library. The books came in no time and are great quality!

### 5/5 — 5 Star Customer Service

*2019-12-06*

It must start with a goal set to keep people happy and coming back with a friendly and patient education style. I was very impressed and they helped me with the most wonderful part of my holiday giving “memories” back to loved ones. 

Thank you Mimeo!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2018-02-21, version 2.6.1*

Pretty cool and does it is supposed to do.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2016-05-06*

Thanks Mimeo! Finally an easy way to manage content from my phone. Super easy to use. Love the design!

### 5/5 — Easy Content Access

*2016-05-05*

Our L&D team provides access to great learning content. It's easy to find and organize the content applicable to me. 

Content annotations are a great feature - makes sharing and engaging in the materials a breeze!

### 5/5 — Trainer

*2016-05-05*

As a trainer, Mimeo's digital platform has proven time and time again to be an extremely valuable asset when it comes to delivering my training material! 

Great job Mimeo!

### 3/5 — Not ready for prime time

*2023-09-09*

The user interface needs work. In page mode the toolbar is missing the forward and back buttons so you can’t move, only continuous scrolling mode works.  There is a dark mode but it only affects the background, not the pages so it’s still bright. There is a settings dialog, but you can’t scroll through the advanced settings to change anything. Not quite ready for prime time.

### 3/5 — Okay aber nicht ausgereift

*2022-07-01, version 5.0.95*

Nichtmal den Ton beim öffnen kann man deaktivieren.

### 2/5 — Good app

*2026-01-06, version 5.7.10*

Used instead of the web version as thought I could make better notes using my Apple Pencil. Doesn’t always work to make notes, and cannot double tap the pencil to change from pen to eraser. Need to also use the hand to move the page up and down rather then just using the screen whilst the annotation is live.
