Miserable
This app is an absolute nightmare for navigating your textbooks. There is no sidebar or dropdown menu to navigate and quickly change sections/chapters. To make it worse, if you minimize the app or close it and come back, it spits you back out to the home page. So if you’re half way through a chapter, the only way to get back is to go the beginning and grudgingly scroll through each section you’ve read and click through each of them ONE AT A TIME in order to get back to your spot.
The convenience of having your textbooks mobile is completely negated by how long and frustrating it takes to get where you need to. This is such a simple tool that any app in this realm should have.

Buttons not working half the time
No matter what button I push or how many times, they won’t work. This is extremely frustration as I work on school work both at home and while I’m working, I don’t have time to just wait for it to randomly work. It will occasionally work and then I better hope my phone doesn’t turn off or I’ll have to wait another who knows how long for it to work again.

Functions, but not fun
I find it infuriating that I cannot alter the orientation of the screen, only horizontal orientation is available. The content loads but often doesn’t load the questions that are assigned. At least it’s more user friendly than using the browser version.
A textbook that is only Quizzes
If I use this on anything other than a web browser I have to search for 5-10 minutes to find the textbook. If I want to take quizzes it’s great, but when this is the only option for my textbook I’m left frustrated. If I want to change the orientation it starts only taking up a portion of my screen and I can’t do anything about it. Every time I open the app it asks if I have an account and if I want notifications, I can’t alter notifications to actually help me remember to do assignments either. Nothing about this app feels intuitive and I am left spending money to not use a textbook essentially.

Leaders in education that suck.
Per normal we find ourselves as students in the capitalist monopoly on textbooks and education with an industry leader who can’t manage to make a simple basic app that functions appropriately. As if university wasn’t enough to deal with now we get textbooks you literally cannot open and read on apps that don’t function but who’s existence is used to justify not just allowing basic functions like viewing the text on a mobile browser. I would say do better Pearson, but we all know you won’t since we all required to throw our money away on your products whether you do or not.
