Dolphin EasyReader

This app is ideal for students who need their textbooks, required reading and worksheets read to them. And it’s FREE, really free! Just so you know, for students to benefit they need to have a Bookshare account.

This app should be called difficult reader. There's nothing easy about it. When you download it, you basically have to sign up for a premium account to get any kind of access to anything. In order to sign up for an account, you have to go to their website and follow a bunch of really clunky, difficult steps. Then, they send you an activation code rather than just updating your account once you've paid. So then you have to enter that activation code on your account on the website, not on the app. And then, once you enter that activation code, it will tell you that your activation code is not valid. So then you have to contact Customer Service. They'll tell you to wait a while. Once you wait a whole day, it'll finally let you enter your activation code. You then have to sign out on the app and sign back in. Only then do you actually have access for it to read your documents. When you go to have it read your documents, the import process is extremely clunky and takes forever. Once you have your documents imported and saved to your app, it will take about four minutes to load and start reading. So you better have plenty of time before you need it to actually read anything to you. And God forbid you hit pause. Because then it will take forever to start reading again once you hit play. It's a huge waste of study time. And never mind trying to cancel your premium account. There's no way to do it on the website. You login and you look at your subscriptions, and it will show that you have premium. But no matter where are you navigate on the website, there is no way to unsubscribe from premium. So I just deleted my entire account. Which should've been easy. However, even after you delete your account, it makes you sign back in on the website to you're already signed in on. What is with all of the signing out and signing in? The website is unnavigable, the app is clunky, Customer Service is terrible, and nothing functions as it should. I'd give this app 0 stars if I could.

Would like you to pay a thirty dollar yearly subscription to access this app on a mac and it doesnt even support PDF files.

So I love this app, but lately when I swipe three fingers up or down, it moves to another section of the book, it used to be when you were done with a chapter, you swipe down to the bottom and press next, but when i do that, it moves some where else, and I don’t know where it puts me.

This is unfortunate. Wanted, hoped this was going to be good but nope. You can’t even open ebooks that are stored on your device. This is basically a link app to various online library’s. Pointless really. Im not about to sign up for yet another library link. And why does this app have a section for showing all my clipboard stuff. Don’t ever copy any passwords as the people behind this app will see all your clipboard info. I can’t comment on the reading option since again i cant open any ebooks on my ipad and not signing up for any online stores.

I love this!! Very shallow learning curve and easy for almost anyone to use. I used to be a read2go user, but then it got taken off of the App Store. My Teacher Consultant for the Visually Impaired recommended it because I wanted a free app that would allow me to read my Bookshare books. This does all that and more!!

Really wanted to give this app a try but even after linking to my Bookshare account it can’t actually download any books. Just keep getting a message saying can’t download at this time…

When trying to change background colors in app - black, is gray, rather than black. Tough on eyes when trying to change to high contrast settings

After updating to the latest version of this app, all of my bookmarks were deleted.

I wanted to like this app because the reading interface is nice but I hate how it doesn’t sync my reading position and bookmarks across devices. It makes it very difficult to enjoy reading my books. I’ve opted to try an alternative app specifically because of this. 😔
