Good and functional

It’s a little clunky compared to other app but there are no other issues I have found stoping you form accessing to the books you want so overall is a good app.

It should be so easy

And it absolutely isn’t. The app fails at the first step, not allowing me to log in, telling me that the log-in details and password are incorrect despite sending me the password, I didn’t even have to make up my own password, moments before. As a result I can not access the books that I have paid for. I have spent far too much time trying to resolve this with the RYA. My conclusion is that app is a waste of time, I will not recommend it to any students when I am instructing.

The RYA should be better than this

I am a RYA member and have been for a number of years . I have had trouble with app in the past . Also buy via Apple and not the content is not available elsewhere . Now updated books/ new versions make the old ones not available on my iPad ..
A brand such as the RYA should hold better standards than this app provides I regret not purchasing printed material and feel hard done by.

Hopeless - app won’t even download

Trying to get my VHF ebook - never come across such complicated instructions in my life and now th app won’t even download. Frustrated greatly understates how I feel.

Can’t login

This app needs updating ASAP. It doesn’t allow me to login, and I can’t reset my password either.
I have an e-book redemption voucher which I can’t get access to. Not a great experience.
