Hate the iPhone app
It wouldn’t let me download the app onto my kindle so I opted to getting the app on my phone. I hate the layout of the textbook and the fact that you scroll down through the pages rather than tapping the side to “flip” the page.

App is annoying.
This is great for cheating
This app is awful. I downloaded a text book, which is full of tables and images with small text in them. The app has no zoom feature at all, only an ability to adjust text size, which doesn’t apply to tables and images. Absolute garbage. It would take about 5 seconds to add this super basic feature. This app is useless for reading textbooks on an iPhone. I bet you can even do this on the browser version, which makes this app even more worthless.
I love that I can read books from school on here, but I wish we could change the voice.
The feature to print out my notes would be so helpful. Any picture in the text if you could click on the picture and either zoom in or the picture become full screen would be nice. I have the Type Rules digital book and the photo examples are real small and hard to see.
It is not possible to view an entire page. It isn’t even possible to see where one page ends and another begins. You can’t see page numbers. It’s a horrible reading experience. You can’t flip to the index, ot the table of contents. It’s horrible.
It is not a good application for reading
The app require more reading customization such as fit to screen viewing. It’s annoying when you need to zoom in and the page moves left and right while scrolling.
Downloaded this app to listen to my textbooks while I’m doing other things- taking notes, walking the dogs etc. I’m glad it has this feature. I also love having heavy textbooks on a small tablet, I’ll never get sick of that. However, the computer voice can’t handle medical terminology and mispronounces many, many words. It also mispronounced the word “this”. It also keeps doing something weird, where sometimes it will read the right column of a page before the left.
