User reviews

Okay

It’s okay but I wish the communication was better between the computer and the app. I alternate between the two and whenever I use my iPad I have to go into see my progress to see where I left off, because the app will remain at whatever point I stopped on previously, even if I moved on the computer. I also wish the app had the read to me tool.

Great app

I love this app

Doesn’t work

It worked up until today. All I get is a white screen. I reinstalled and nothing. iPad Air 2, iOS 15.8.4

Response from developer

I'm sorry you ran into this issue—our tech team has released a fix. Please try downloading the newest version of the app, 2.7.2, and let us know if you're still having trouble!

Not

I rarely rate apps poorly or at all, but this is a disappointment. An education app not having a ‘read to me’ function after seemingly years of saying it’s in the works is ridiculous. Textbooks costs way too much money for them to not have an accessibility design.
To note- it should be possible to listen to the text while having the app in the background. I would pay for this app if I could do that. Whoever is developing this- you can make more money by adding that and just charging a one time or monthly fee. I’d hate to buy it but I would to have access to a listening function. There are a lot of people with disabilities that need this.

We appreciate your feedback, and we’re actively working on a Read to Me feature for the mobile app. Accessibility is a priority for us, and we value your patience as we improve the app to better serve all learners!

No highlighting/notes!

The app is ok. What would make it better would be to have the option to highlight text and take notes! It’s a huge inconvenience that this isn’t an option since I read on the go a lot. Please add these features!!

Response from developer

We’re excited to announce that highlighting and note taking is now live in the latest version of our app for most courses!
