STEALS YOUR MONEY

this app won’t let you cancel any membership you have to go through HELL to do so. Not college student friendly.

From “I’m not sure” to “OBSESSED”

I really appreciate all of the functions that the Pearson+ app offers. I’m currently taking my prerequisites for the Dental Hygiene Program and this app has helped me TREMENDOUSLY with Anatomy & Physiology 1. Ok. Gotta go. Exam #2 coming in a couple days. Back to the app I go

Printing

Good and great resource and can the app printing for more than one page at a time ?

Does not work as app in iOS or iPad OS

You might be able to access the textbook through the Pearson website on safari, but it is not possible to view your textbook or do your assigned homework through the app. The Pearson+ app does not do neither. It may be dependent on your textbook, but the textbook for my classes released just this year. Disappointing.

Overpriced and underperforms

Please professors, just use OpenStax

For ECON

Got the books I needed with a audiobook/dictation feature. The audiobook feature could use a little bit of work. Besides that, it’s a solid app.

Not my favourite

This app is not a great reader. The hilight feature is buggy and forces me to separate thought or skip certain letters/words entirely because they just WONT hilight, and it’s the same for making a note about a certain section of text. I find this super annoying because when you go to the notebook section to review your hilights and notes the don’t make as much sense.

Apprehensive

At first, I was apprehensive about using Pearson, but it turned out to be one of the best learning tools I may have. I may have my moments where I do struggle, but this website/ app makes it all worthwhile.

Enjoying very much

I am pleasantly surprised and the amount of variations on learning in this app. Very easy to stream videos and even read the book. A+

Too many bugs

It’s a second time I use this app for university. It glitches non stop and makes it super hard to use it. Sometimes I pause the book, when i unpause it’s in a completely different place. Sometimes it rewinds to the next chapter or plays the same paragraph twice in the row for no reason. Simply put, it’s horrible. I wish I could just buy a book normally and read it with any other reader! It’s impossible even to list all the glitches I’ve seen just from 1 chapter. God give me strength to survive this

Good material but slightly buggy app.

The material posted isn’t the problem. My issue with this app is the software bugs. Occasionally some sections don’t allow you to press on them and while watching the videos the audio randomly goes out.

Nice Concet

Very helpful and convenient

One flaw

Literally, every time I try to play the audio as background or on split screen, the audio will just stop playing. So, I HAVE to just have the screen open to the app for the audio to play. It can be very inconvenient if I want to multitask.

Subjects adding

It will be helpful if there is source providence for more administrative subjects

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We appreciate your suggestion around providing clearer source information for more administrative subjects. We’ll share this with our team as we continue to improve the experience.

Terrible customer service

There somehow always had to be something wrong with accessing my text book. Customer service is slow, takes forever, and needs 10 billion information just to tell you they basically can’t help

Buggy

For some reason my app will stop working and loading. It’ll make me uninstall and reinstall so it work properly for one use. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it 5 times now

Buy physical textbook

Bro this app is so chopped I've had the misfortune of being forced to use it for a few semesters now and somehow every book has DIFFERENT issues, one book bugged out so bad from me trying to scroll to the next page that I couldn't access it until the last update! The scroll/swipe function is broken, highlight features are extra broken, search function is chopped (can't believe I'm giving Cengage credit but theirs is somehow so much better), every time I open one book it automatically opens to page 1... I digress. What a weird and classist way to educate people I guess! Zero stars! Do better Pearsuck

Audiobooks don’t work consistently

Like others have mentioned, either the audiobooks feature doesn’t work or starts and then stops working very randomly. It’s literally made my app start freaking out and scroll randomly, especially if the “read along” option is turned on. Turning it off does not really fix it though. The audiobook feature will just skip around a textbook however and whenever it feels like. It’s really frustrating because if eBooks are going to be forced to be read through this platform, their related features should work properly.

Good app

I like it, got me through ap bio, ap psych, and now it’s getting me through anatomy and physiology 🧠

Useless for hw just the book

Worse than the browser version that crashes, zooms randomly, and won’t let you type.
