Usability improvements and bug fixes

User reviews

Almost Perfect!

This app is great. The additional material & interfaces really help me better understand and retain the information in the book which is vast & can be complicated. It’s nice that I can quickly review using flash cards or quizzes on my phone if I have some downtime. That’s super helpful for retention. The only drawback I would say is the online version logs me out after a short period and there are so many clicks to get back in & onto where I left off that it’s off-putting. The other thing is I wished some of the material on the app was available in offline mode.

The audiobook never works

Loving it

I like that I can do practice exams on the go.Its such a great way to study

Major accessibility and usability issues on iOS

Pros of this app:
- search function
- study videos and additional materials
- ability to change font sizes

Cons:
- dark mode hides CRUCIAL information (like formulas) which is a major accessibility issue
- no way to take margin notes
- highlighting doesn’t work on symbols (and symbols are hugely important in science textbooks)
- no way to bookmark images
- “feedback” option is a black hole and the native iOS browser is not supported so contacting support from within the app is impossible
- highlighting constantly flips the page instead of selecting text

This is such a frustrating app to use and it’s really disappointing considering eTextbooks are basically a requirement in order to keep up with education these days.
