Help??!!

This app is not fully baked. Our organization charges a pretty hefty annual dues. This entrance fee should at least give access to our technical manuals in an easy intuitive way. I have yet to figure out the easy and intuitive way.

Better, but still not great

This app allows digital access to all PSIA-AASI content that a member has access to.

I like that the resources are now sorted by category so that one can more quickly find the resource they want.

The app still requires a log in to access each individual publication that I have purchased or have access to. This is aggravating, because if I’m trying to jump around between resources, I have to log in multiple times to open everything. Also, after a few days, the system requires you to log in again to access the same resources you had opened a few days prior.

There is a real opportunity here to streamline the app by requiring one login to the app that would then allow access to all eligible resources.

I recently started listening to the teaching manual in the car on drives to my ski resort, and I have feedback to offer about the audio version as well. The narration is great. However, the audio player is rudimentary at best. There is no way to save your location to return to later, so if you are going to log out for a day or two, you have to try to remember where you left off and then attempt to find that spot using the slider bar. But, the audio player functions are at the bottom of the screen in the same spot as the horizontal bar that Apple provides to swipe up to close an app. Whoops.

There is still lots of opportunity for improvement with this app.

Total Failure

It doesn’t work. Tried rebooting phone, delete and readd app, various combinations. Can’t get past start up screen. My software is totally up to date and no memory issues on my phone. I’d give it’0’ stars if I could. Tried on 3 other apple devices…another newer iPhone and 2 different iPads. Does not work on any of them. You know Apple software have had several major updates in the past 6 mos.

Poor navigation, not intuitive

This app is terrible. It is not intuitive. It is difficult to navigate. I generally avoid it, because it is so difficult to use.

For one, the app should require one log-in to access all resources that one has purchased. Instead, it requires you to log in separately for each resource that one has access to.

The app should separate purchased resources from unpurchased resources. Instead, it displays ALL available resources, whether one has purchased or has access to it or not. This simply clutters up the visual display.

The app should separate periodicals from purchased resources so that one can more easily find purchased resources.

The app should more clearly specify audio vs non-audio sources.

The periodicals have not been updated since 2021.

The app does none of these things and instead creates a huge obstacle in accessing the valuable information it contains.

Can’t even log in

Terrible navigation for the free content. Login fails for purchases.

Horrible

Crashes often. Does not load correct manuals once access has been granted, If access is granted. Slow load time. Log in required every time you go from one manual to the next. Most of the time once in the login screen app crashes. Horrible user integration.
Start over guys. This is a useless app that never gets used by any pros

PSIA Garbage

Wow, just read all the reviews. Some as far back as seven years ago. This app is a bunch of crap. PSIA should be completely ashamed of having this product out there for people to try to use. If we gave this kind of service and product to our customers they probably push us off a cliff. Remove this app now! Get rid of it until it is corrected and usable.

Gotta admit this is super frustrating

Paid 20 bucks for digital course but can’t even access it because the menu won’t load. Also can’t use app in split view so taking notes is impossible/annoying. Reading the other reviews from over a year ago I can see I’m not alone. I can’t believe that so many instructors can pay hundreds of dollars over their lifetime in PSIA-AASI membership and be given this app. It’s basically a website that pretends it’s an app. Go online forget the app. Firefox has better features.

Software Garbage

This software is garbage. It does not work, it’s amazing that it’s even on the Apple web site because it’s obvious the person that developed it has no clue how to test the product in multiple scenarios.

It’s unfortunate that negative stars or zero stars cannot be used. This product would surely be in negative territory.

A downgrade, not an upgrade

Let’s throw all the content into one pile, require repeat logins any time you move to a different item and throw in a never-ending stream of cookie disclosures just for fun. The app had its shortcomings before but at least it was useable. This version should live in the garbage can.

Lost access to my PSIA card and the Matrix!

These were important features to me. The app is no longer useful in its current state!

There is definitely room for improvement

Please make it so that the audiobook remembers your place when you close the app and continues playing in the background when you turn the screen off or navigate away from the audiobook... this would be a huge improvement. Thanks.

Help!

Must not be working yet. 32 degrees etc should be a menu item. It’s mixed in with manuals. Manuals should be discipline specific or at least in a manuals section. Audio manuals should probably be in their own section. We want to be able to search quickly for what we’re looking for. Not to mention our member card is missing.
This update seems to be released prematurely.

Horrible update

I just deleted and reinstalled a newer version as one of the new manuals that I purchased wasn’t linking. Now, I have access to 0 of my manuals... what a drag - sad I am paying money for the digital copies.

Get out of the back seat

New release is awful. It’s like watching someone try to make a parallel turn with all their weight on their tails. Please hire someone to fix this app. I am relying on my digital copies to study for my Level 2 and I currently have no access to any of my manuals.

No login screen

I can’t log in, so obviously I can’t download my purchased content. This is a huge oversight.

No log in section

I just downloaded the app and there is no long in section that it refers in help section. I can’t access anything. I am using iOS 13.3.

App Needs to be Scrapped

What I would give to simply be able to read these manuals. App does not work.

Just demolish this thing and start over

I love the idea of PSIA-AASI having an app, however, this is useless.

Needs massive amount of work

Would be better if I could listen to the audio book with my screen off. Come one please fix!
