### 1/5 — Pure garbage

*2023-01-25, version 1.0.5*

You could probably pay some dude in India a hundred dollars to create something better than this. It’s obvious that they have no incentive to make the app better as the users don’t really have a choice when it’s used for their college courses.

### 1/5 — Cant even see my books

*2022-09-23, version 1.0.5*

Paid $57 for a textbook only for it to not even show up in app after doing all the appropriate steps. It just shows an empty bookshelf.

### 1/5 — For student

*2022-02-01, version 1.0.5*

If I could rate this a zero I would, as schools and students are turning to use ebooks more and more, apps that integrate textbooks with the features of phones and tablets are(a lack of smoothness) and most importantly does not allow the multitasking feature on tablets, making this app completely redundant, not being able to take notes side by side with the textbook is highly disappointing.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2021-11-09, version 1.0.5*

Every time i open the app again, my books are gone, i have reinstall app, even logging in again does not help. Worst reader app ever.

### 1/5 — awful

*2021-10-03, version 1.0.5*

there is no way to change an account if you've been given a default one, you can only be logged in as an anonymous user. there is also no text to speech function which is entirely stupid. I have no idea what you would do if you have limited or no vision. completely terrible

### 1/5 — Hate this

*2021-09-22, version 1.0.5*

How am I supposed to do required readings when there are no page numbers available…. What is up with this app. Super glitchy

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2021-09-16, version 1.0.4*

One word - horrible

### 1/5 — It doesn’t even work.

*2025-06-17*

The title of my review should suffice.

### 1/5 — Lots of Glitches

*2025-01-15*

Can’t even delete highlighted parts of the book. Please update app.

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2024-11-06, version 1.0.6*

This is the worst reading app I’ve ever been forced to use. You can’t search specific page numbers to navigate quickly. You have to search using exact spelling AND capitalization for the browser to function. The bookmarks are useless and don’t bring you back to your previous position, so you have to manually tap through a 1000+ page textbook if you lose your place.

### 1/5 — Fix the app

*2024-11-05, version 1.0.6*

This dumpster fire makes me want to pirate the ebooks for university

### 1/5 — Oh man this is bad

*2024-09-05, version 1.0.6*

oh man this is bad

### 1/5 — Bugs – app keeps closing

*2024-08-30, version 1.0.6*

Horrible. The app keeps closing every time it is opened. Do better.

### 1/5 — Fix the app and add new features

*2024-05-09*

Reached download limit for books even though I only have two devices. Terrible app, but usually better than the website. I just wished that the app had better split screen support, highlighting, and stage manager half screen so I could use my iPad while typing with the book open

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-11-07, version 1.0.5*

This app constantly crashes and to make it worse the web browser version also glitches and freezes and leaves me frusturated just trying to read my textbooks, let alone trying to use the subpar features they provide

### 1/5 — Worst Univeristy App Ever

*2023-09-19, version 1.0.5*

Doesn’t let you login after you buy the book, they don’t respond to when you try to get help and universities use them despite knowing how much trouble it causes students.

### 5/5 — Easy to use, has everything you need

*2020-09-28*

I’m a student and I like it when stuff just works. This app works and has all the features you could want

### 4/5 — Works fine on my machine

*2024-09-09, version 1.0.6*

idk if I’m just lucky or whatnot but I didn’t encounter the issues the other reviewers were talking about. Seems just like a generic ebook reader to me

### 2/5 — Table of contents doesn’t work

*2022-01-19*

The links in the table of contents do not work. Quite the problem when trying to navigate around a large textbook…
