Super useful

Perlego has been really useful for my A-level studies with so many available books.

PDF reader is somewhat lacking

Someone else has mentioned poor/no support for pinch zoom in PDF documents, which I agree with. The inability to switch between vertical scrolling and horizontal paging also seems odd. But worst of all, there currently seems to be no find-in-book functionality (that I can find). I see that exists on the web app, so presumably the possibility exists; I hope it can be rolled out to the app itself.

Disappointed

Too much potential and matching disappointment. 48 hours for response on trouble shooting issues not even to solve the problem but they had no problem collecting my money up front immediately.
