## Cengage Read Reviews in United States

### *---- "Can’t even sign in"
The cengage account I needed to use this app for is a “restricted account” because its an account auto created through an online program I am enrolled in. Because of this I can’t even sign in. Not sure why they thought the app needed to be restricted
-- nknightm, 2024-12-07

### *---- "i can’t believe they allow this garbage"
i have to learn with this trash and nothing works
-- fixthegoddamngame, 2024-11-20

### *---- "The app is just bad"
Anyone defending this app isn’t a student.  Mobile version of this app is very limited and hard to navigate. Should be revamped on a platform of more traditional readers.  

It’s much better to use real aloud features in basic web browsers, than to try and make a tool of this app.  It is also no better on the iPad. 

I ended my beta experience just to be able to comment about this app.  I downloaded it on the strength of the few people who said it was good.  It is not.
-- Cj1023, 2024-10-29

### *---- "Dissatisfied"
It is still horrible and not user-friendly at all.
-- 2B2BStresses, 2024-10-24

### ***** "Great App"
Not sure why people are saying the app is terrible. It’s way better than the web experience on phone. I’m trying to do work on my phone MindTap on the web makes it so terrible even read the text book. It downloads the textbook so it’s offline and doesn’t need internet after downloading it. I think people are just  downrating it because they might not like the textbook. I was almost considering finding a pdf version of my textbook but this is great!  Does the simple things I need, view the textbook.
-- Vincent7429, 2024-10-13

### *---- "Disappointment Grows With Each Update"
There are SO many issues with this app, including how your notes/highlights/bookmarks don’t sync up with your account in any other medium, even if you use your same school email address! The recent update seems to be messing up in my phone, where I can ONLY highlight in an obtrusive yellow color, and the other options to notate don’t appear. 

The only upside is you can listen to the text through an audio feature, but you can’t start from any section other than the very top and cannot highlight or make any notes while listening… embarrassing and limited usability for students!!
-- TopangaTango, 2024-10-12

### *---- "It’s a NO !"
This is completely unbelievable. I cant even add my book to the app. It doesn’t give me an option.
-- Shawnyymarie, 2024-10-12

### *---- "Junk"
It won’t even give me access to my book. What gives, Cengage?
-- HandyGeek, 2024-10-07

### ***-- "Translate option"
After the update, translate option has gone in textbooks which was very useful. Please fix that!
-- Tygris85, 2024-09-18

### *---- "App is ugly slow and disorganized"
They charge so much for books for their app to be slow and disorganized, chapters are a mess. The website is also awful. I would rather have a physical book than deal with this hot cheap mess. Invest in your product if you’re going to make something expensive. Low effort quality.
