Not for School or Recreation

By LeahIrving (Pcmac user)

There are problems that me and all of my classmates mentioned while we were using this app. The main problem is that it lags and stops a lot if you are using it offline. When you flip through pages too much, it starts to freeze for a while before you can flip the pages again. So when we were looking for a certain page in our ebook, the app lagged every 10-15 seconds. This happens less frequently with internet connection, but it can still happen. Especially if the app has not loaded certain parts of the book yet. Another problem is that there isn't a simpler way to find a certain page. Even though the app has a scroller that helps you jump through the pages, it doesn't indicate which page you're going to flip to. If there's a way you can do this in the future, that would be good as well. TL;DR I don't recommend this app for anyone who wants to use this for ebooks. Whether for educational or recreational purposes. It's better if you find an app that can do so much better until the app fixes these problems. It's not worth it.
Worthless piece of crap

By drjefferson (Pcmac user)

This software essentially does nothing. It does not crash (for me anyway), it just does nothing except show you a manual that supposedly describes how to use it. But the manual as both wrong in many places, and it’s pagination does not even match its table of contents. The thing I wanted it to do most is share ADE’s with my the same software on my Mac, which the manual explicitly states is possible. But after working for a couple of hours at it, it seems impossible to do that. There are simply no commands to allow you to either share a library with the Mac or download books from the Mac library. In fact, there are no commands to do anything useful. You can’t search for ADE’s, or borrow them or purchase them or anything else. I am just stunned at how worthless this app is.
Frustrating experience!!

By TheStaffSergeant (Pcmac user)

Been using this app for a while now on my iPad Pro 10.5 and it is frustrating me to no end. It keeps syncing blank books to my device and then constantly crashes. As if that wasn’t frustrating enough, there isn’t a way to mass delete all those blank books and there over 160 of them! I went through and manually deleted them ALL.... then I thought I might uninstall the app and retry... nope... it just re-sync those 160 blank books all over again. I would like to have all the hours of my life back that I invested into this app, but I’m doubtful the app can make that happen. Perhaps if they enabled two-page view and fixed the glitch where it keeps crashing and syncing blank books... I might be able to forgive them.
Pretty aggravating to use 😩

By gatoqueso (Pcmac user)

Using this app for my school textbook... it is constantly crashing. Super hard to focus on studying when I have to force close then reopen the app every 5 minutes. Even then it still glitches. Will get stuck between pages while scrolling. Worst of all I have to minimize the app after reading and highlighting each page because it will delete any highlighting if it crashes. I figured out that minimizing will “save” your highlights. Unfortunately my textbook is not available in any other format (I checked) or else this would’ve been deleted after the first day it was installed. I hope it gets fixed!
