Kortext

I love this app

The concept of this app is amazing. However it has so many bugs. Across all devices my notes disappear and I have to restart the app to see them again. FIX IT!!!!

Hard to use; would prefer it had page numbers & its could be more streamlined for lazy students

It is impossible to select the exact page numbers you want to print. The “from” “to” bar is simply unfit for the purpose. Why can we not just type the page numbers ourselves? Munch simpler. Also it is very stupid that as you hit “print” the print allowance decreases: only to realise that the app has got bugs and the print preview shows completely different pages than those you selected. So you try again thinking you selected wrong. Nope, not your fault. But now you don’t have print allowance anymore. Finally it would be nice to be able to collect books in folders. Otherwise you have a myriad of books of various topics all together and that’s just so messy.

I wish this thing wasn’t so hyper sensitive and over responsive when i’m trying to highlight things. Using this on an ipad there’s no apple pencil capability and the touch screen means my pages are constantly flicking between one another. Just wish it was better as this is the only way i can read most of my textbooks for university.

all round terrible to use and I have not been able to get the read aloud functionality to work despite trying on multiple devices/app versions/browsers. so obstructive

In order to read the material at the end or beginning of a page, I have to minimise or maximise the text/page and try locate it, otherwise it is hidden behend the bottom page slider. Any change in the Kortex window size, ie dragging side bar slightly - distorts the page and text massively; it makes no sense as the "pages" should simply be available as pages, not an abstraced sheet that is cropped beyond view.

I mostly like my books being read out to me but I can’t get it to work which one the reasons I downloaded the app in the place

I open an e book and it won’t open so I have to go off and back on, and it’s slow as hell. When I close the app it goes to a random page and when I open it, it flashes 10 random pages then goes to a page close to my actual page, but usually not even the correct page. It reads decent. In an ebook I’m reading now it won’t let me go to page 248 and keeps forcing me all the way back onto page 226. This is really annoying

Kortext has made revision so much more easy and engaging, with the variety of features available like the note taking, highlighting, changing fonts and read aloud. It’s helped a lot with my revision for exams.
