Not able to login to even after I update my port

Used to love it any how it seem to have issues now, is it still supported ?

App not opening any content and crashing

App not opening any content and crashing

Functional just

It’s functional, but there is plenty of room for improvement. The reading interface is clunky and dark mode is more aspirational than an actual feature. It wastes screen realestate, particularly on form factors like the iPad mini. The interface could definitely be more intuitive.

Update this app: no reading sync, bookmarks broken

I love getting this service free from my employer, by two years between updates is too long. You need to 1) fix bookmarks so they actually take you back to the page you were reading, and 2) fix syncing between devices.

Currently, opening a book I was just reading, even on the same device, always opens to page one of the book I’m reading. This is just disappointing.

Horrible App/Site combo and functionality

What a crappy app/website combo this is. Developers must have been drunk when they designed it. Click forgot password and it’s asking me to login.

Wish they would assist service members navigate

If skillport had a portion,Thats designated promotion point worthy classes.So service members are not stuck searching for a class that might count towards promotion points.

Offline is still not working correctly

Work great online.

Still not work for offline mode even books and courses are downloaded. The app insists to connect to either cellular or Wi-Fi in order to show the downloaded contents. Removed and reinstalled the latest version, disappointed.

When this problem is fixed?

Thank you,

Very helpful

And excellent tool

Crashing app

Consistent crashing at the end of each test. Making it difficult to complete your test and getting stuck and frustrated on every video.

Book text is too small

Please add accessibility and highlighting/annotation features to ebooks. As is the app is not friendly for visually impaired people.

Wonderful selection of books; app needs TLC

I greatly appreciate the range and quality of the materials available through Skillsoft. I'm relying on them now that ACM and O'Reilly have parted ways -- and I suspect that their app will get a LOT more traffic from July 1, 2022 onwards (when ACM members no longer have access to O'Reilly). And, so, I am pleading with the powers-that-be who decide how much money and how many resources the app gets: PLEASE be generous to this app development team! Your brand is about to get much more attention and this app is one of the main points of contact with your customer base.

Useless for Purdue Global students

If you’re currently enrolled at Purdue global university this app will not work as of 2/2/22. You’ll be able to login and see the books in there but you won’t be able to use the app just a web browser in the app that is supposed to be there for signing in but won’t.

Bug

Every time I log in the screen goes black and nothing ever loads

Very bad app.

Where to begin. The search function won’t turn up the results of what you’re looking for. I’ve put in the full title and even parts of the title and get nothing in the ball park of what was searched for. The only way I could find what I was looking for is by typing the author and the year and then sifting through about 100 other books that don’t even share a name of the author I’m looking for. Than the fact that the app keeps crashing and you have to keep deleting it and reinstalling it doesn’t help matters either. I’m highly disappointed in the performance of this app.

Great for army junior enlisted promotion points

If you are in the army and enlisted like me, I’m sure chances are you are looking for every possible way to get points. And those ATTRS courses are so boring it’s impossible to get through them without falling asleep (at least for me they are). But there are courses on Skillsoft that you can take that will give you promotion points. For me, it’s helpful to have courses that teach about Microsoft programs because I’m HR so I work with excel, word, PowerPoint, outlook, etc. and the great thing is, I can do courses anywhere now. So if I’m driving around with my wife doing errands, I can sit there and do courses while my wife drives. A lot of the courses will only give you 1 hour. Make sure you only do ones over 30 mins or it won’t give you the hour. There are longer courses too. But there are so many courses and this app makes it so convenient to do them that maxing correspondence courses is easy and not so boring anymore. I hope a lot of people who are looking to max correspondence courses find this. Just make sure you have your skillport login info. When it asks for the domain, it should just be usarmy. And then it will ask for your log in information and you’re all set. There are so many other courses as well and resources that are completely free to any and all soldiers (I know active for a fact, not sure about National Guard or Reserves sorry).

Doesn’t work

The app doesn’t work. Just crashes. Haven’t got past selecting subjects. Have reinstalled twice.

Doesn’t fit

Doesn’t fit the words on the screen. Horizontal or vertical. Always some missing. Scrolling through pages things don’t scroll down or the window closes. Could be much better than this.

Does it even work?

When I open it it’s just a blank/black screen

App won’t even open

I downloaded and the app won’t even get past a black screen. I tried deleting and reinstalling, closing the app, turning my phone off and back on. Don’t know what else to do if I’m being honest.

App Crashes on Set Up

I can’t set up my profile without the app crashing and generating a black screen. Even force quitting and restarting just shows a black screen. I have to remove the app from my phone and reinstall, but even then I can’t get through the set up. Disappointing.
