A few more features, then perfection.
I’m reading a lot of anatomy and would love to have the ability to zoom in on some of the tables when I’m away from home studying.
Changing pages is not very fluid. As opposed to scrolling to the next page- or an arrow going back and forth. The arrow button to go back and page input don’t always seem to work or are bugged.
Overall I do enjoy reading my book on the go, just wish it was more user friendly on mobile devices.

FIX YOUR APP
This app is a joke… basically a scam, fix your app. It’s not like these textbooks are free
Could be great
The app is helpful as I can read on the go but the app will not allow full screen and if I exit a book I cannot get back in without closing the app. I do like the notes and annotation options but it’s very frustrating to not be able to have the app in full screen mode, this leaves my other apps/bar showing when I’m trying to focus. If they fixed these problems I’d give it a much higher rating.

HORRIBLE
You have to scroll down perfectly straight or else it will skip a page to the right, but if you slide your finger to the left it will close you out of the book instead of returning you to the page you were at. And when you try and click the book to get back in, it won’t work so you have to restart the app :/
There should be an option to turn off sliding pages. The bar at the bottom is also terrible as it won’t tell you what page you’re going to and just shows titles that are completely inaccurate.
The concept of this is so cool, it would be way better to be able to keep reading my book when outside instead of having to pull out my laptop. But it was not very well made :(

Super Glitchy (iPhone)
I love that I can access my books on the go. However, whenever I instinctively swipe backwards to go to previous pages, it takes me to the main menu and the overall app distinctions. I can’t even open the book back up without fully closing and reopening the app.
Last update broke app
Every time I try to go back a page it sends me to the main book selection page and freezes ,I shouldn’t have to hard close the app every time I go back a page
This app sucks
This is really very bad app for a book worth 1000$ I feel like I got ripped off. You can do a lot better than this but my guess is you busy ripping off other students. Monopoly over these books need to stop.
Pretty bad
The app crashes whenever I try an launch a book.
I just downloaded this app
I’ve downloaded this app because I need to take a course for work. When I open the app, it wants me to sign. But it does not allow me to sign up. I do not have a password so I cannot sign in.
FIX YOUR APP
The price we pay for the textbook makes it inexcusable to have such a terrible app. FIX IT you have the money.
Login
This app won’t even let me login. When I redeemed my access code and set up my account on Jones and Bartlett it gave me no option to create a username and password for the app and I’m trying to use the same login as thats what the site says to do. Niw it just keeps saying incorrect user or password.

Poorly constructed and maintained
This application lacks basic tools. The tools it does have, lack ease of use. An example is the highlighter. The application provides the ability to highlight words, sentences, and sections of text. The application malfunctions when attempting to remove the highlight. Another problem comes when trying to take notes. There appears to be a lack of options for notes. There is no section for notes, this would not be a problem if the application allows copying and pasting to another application. When attempting to copy, the application’s only option is to copy a link.
From my limited use I would not recommend this application. I originally concluded the other reviews may be overly critical, user error, or a combination of both. I now conclude that they are spot on. My suggestion is update the application. Take user feedback seriously.

Abysmal
As a new student, I decided to pick up an iPad as a tool to read and take notes, etc. For an app that you would think brings you convenience, it skips pages, it’s not intuitive, you can’t use Split View. So many things wrong with something that honestly seems like copy paste HTML garbage. Thanks for nothing, I guess. I’ll keep using the chrome version of the app (which isn’t much better) cause at least I get Split View.

Speed up your text to speech.
I am currently in class and was hoping that I would be able to use the text to speech on my hour long drives to and from class to help save time. I usually listen at 1.5 to 2 times speed to help save time, but this reader seems to read at a pace slower than normal. Please fix this to help people like me that get sidetracked just reading a book.

Terrible
Hard to use, bad controls, glitchy. Terrible. Please do better. We need to learn and this the only resource we can use.
Works well
No issues! Works super well for me! Idk what all the other reviews are saying
Bonne appli
Bonne appli, qui fonctionne parfaitement et est facile à utiliser
Frustrating
This is not my first time using JBL learning products. Whether through the browser or the App, it does not matter—it’s all frustrating. Every potential support feature that you think will help you better actively interact with the material is a useless dead end. Why are the key terms in the books just links to a page that doesn’t even give you a definition. Like I click on link to “cow” and it jumps to a page that just says “cow”. Thats it. No definition. Forget scrolling down to find things via the chapter contents. And the app—forget it. Makes zero difference. It’s all convoluted. Stop doing things half way and not ergonomic. Try testing it out with real people to see how people read and learn.

The ebooks a scam
Cant read ebook bc when you try to move on to the next page it skips multiple pages. Even trying to select the exact page doesnt bring you to the right page. The app just simply doesnt work and neither does the webpage. There is effectively no ebook option even though we pay for it. Its rly just a scam.
