## Pearson+ Reviews in United States

### *---- "Rip offs"
Don’t buy an e book on here especially over 100$ it’ll expire by the end of the semester. I paid 200$ for my biology book which I need for my HESI and now I have to buy it again because they expire this is ridiculous not worth the money at all.
-- funimat12cute, 2024-12-15

### *---- "WTH?"
Used this app all semester and worked fine. Actually enjoyed it. Out of nowhere it logged me out and is now saying it can’t find my account despite me being able to log in online. It is though my school that I have Pearson access, but even when I go to use the QR code for my app it sits like it’s loading then doesn’t do anything. What happened? This couldn’t have happened at a worse time either as finals are in four days so there is that…
-- james Shatner, 2024-12-08

### *---- "Unable to print notes"
For some reason, Pearson has made it impossible to print notes.  Use the pdf feature you say?  Tried it.  Save the file to your drive? Nope.  Copy it to google docs?  Tried that too.  Pearson, you are making it very difficult for me to study at the moment.  Avoid, avoid, avoid.
-- KM1027, 2024-12-02

### *---- "Search is useless, audiobook function is useless, default zoom is unreadable..."
...default zoom is unreadable, page turn is buggy and unintuitive, and, finally, the TOC is incomplete.

1. When searching for a text string longer than one word, the search results show an excerpt where the phrase appears. But when clicked on, it doesn&#039;t take you there. Instead you&#039;re taken to the first occurrence of the first word of the phrase. You&#039;ll typically be in the right chapter but on the wrong page. You&#039;ll have to read for several minutes until you come upon the phrase you&#039;re looking for. This is very odd behavior and makes the search completely useless.

2. The audiobook sounds completely unnatural and makes learning basically impossible. The voice inflections are in the wrong places, causing the audiobook to convey incorrect meaning in what it is trying to read. Furthermore, if you&#039;re book contains any tables or images with numbers, the audiobook will eventually come upon them and spend several minutes reading out the numbers in their entirety.

3. As other reviewers have stated, books open with tiny text by default, requiring the reader to zoom in. But zooming slightly off center causes the page to turn, which then causes the reader to lose their place from the previous page. Compounding this bugginess, pages seem to be set arbitrarily – some are a single screen of text, some are dozens. There&#039;s really no rhyme or reason.

4. Homework problems aren&#039;t in the table of contents. You literally have to go to the last section of the chapter and then turn pages until you get to the homework problems. That&#039;s ridiculous.

5. Finally, when logged in to the companion website to view the textbook instead of the app, you&#039;re constantly taken to the page to buy the textbook again. Confusingly, there&#039;s no indication that you already own the textbook. You have to click the Buy Textbook link and then for some reason that will take you to the open textbook page. Very confusing.
-- You Great Reviewer, 2024-12-01

### *---- "Good luck trying to cancel"
Consider your subscription a lifetime commitment. Super easy &amp; convenient to sign up, takes a miracle, an act of God &amp; weeks of your time to cancel.  You called or emailed them &amp; they cancelled?  No the didn’t.  Just wait until it auto-renews, despite the fact you graduated 6 months ago.  Support said they cancelled auto-renew?  No they didn’t.  Give up, they own you now.
-- Prdparent, 2024-11-27

### *---- "Buggy"
If I move the screen left or right just EVER so slightly on accident while I&#039;m trying to scroll, it refreshes and takes me to what I assume is a checkpoint? Sometimes not even close to where I was and it often makes me lose my place.
More often than not, the formulas won&#039;t load in properly and I can&#039;t even read it. I&#039;ll close the app and open it again, sometimes it&#039;s clear but it&#039;s usually not.
Both of these issues are present on both the phone and the iPad.
-- chey01134, 2024-11-26

### **--- "Too much and not enough"
There’s plenty of good features they added, but I don’t really use any of them, but when I need to just know the page number for an assigned reading from class I their no where to be found.  This might be just a problem with my book, but still I don’t need notecards or other bells and whistles I just need to read this book for class, and page numbers should be a bare minimum.
-- Theguy2004, 2024-11-23

### ***-- "Not too shabby"
Overall, it’s a great option to have. The search function could improve, specifically how to the results are shown and the results that are produced. For example, if selecting a glossary term, it will just take you to the glossary and not directly to the word.
-- Jarrett Luckett, 2024-11-23

### *---- "Be careful  with their service contact"
I haven’t pay attention at all on the subscription agreement, they will charge 4 months even I only need it for 1 month. Read their agreement carefully!
-- Sônggooku, 2024-11-18

### **--- "The most buggy"
Both online and in the app. The search while viewing a textbook rarely works for me it just goes to a blank white screen and never loads. I do like that they have monthly unlike a lot of textbook places, but because of the how frustrating it is to just try to find something in the textbook, I probably won’t use this again unless I have to.
-- Kataltieri, 2024-11-18

### ***-- "Decent for students, has some issues"
Audiobooks seem to be the most useful function of the app for me, but the voiceover reads some things weird such as H^+(hydrogen ions) which is read as H to the plus. 

When using dark mode in the textbook the background is a dark color and there is black text on top of it. My suggestion to the developers would be adding white text when in dark mode.
-- mikeb3751, 2024-11-18

### **--- "Crucial information in my textbook consistently missing"
I’m studying a medical textbook and there are many instances where numbers regarding crucial information regarding things like blood pressure and heart rate relating certain conditions is just completely missing. I’m taking an online EMT course where all my information comes exclusively from the textbook. I’m going into a field where people’s lives are on the line. This could even apply to those of you that created this app or your loved ones. Please fix this so I can be prepared to save lives.
-- badams9, 2024-11-16

### *---- "Really irritating and does not work"
I can’t get the robot lady to shut up or get to the next page I’m just stuck on page 201
-- Birdtrain, 2024-11-14

### ***** "Worth every single penny"
Best tutoring app I ever had ❤️
-- HanHill, 2024-11-12

### ***-- "So-so"
I had reached out to service before this response and it was not helpful. I had to send pictures, videos, and then twice they closed the ticket without confirming with me. It wasn’t like I let the email sit for days, it was a subsequent response stating that the problem should have been resolved. I still have the same issues. I have simply figured out how to get around the issues. So, I had to navigate a work around to fix the highlight issues. I did notice that the syncing between devices seems to have gotten better. However, I now use my iPad and iPhone much less than before. I primarily stopped because of this issue, so I haven’t tested the issue fully. I think overall, it’s still not going to win me over. If basic text selection for highlighting doesn’t work, then this is a pointless service. As I said in my first review…when in school, we highlight textbooks. This is the first and most important feature. I also don’t like that audio functions don’t always display while playing, it slows me down if I want to stop and highlight something. It’s just poor design with these simple functions. We pay too much for textbooks to get a mediocre app.
-- 0nlyKmoney, 2024-11-08

### *---- "Could be better"
It’s nice that I can get my book immediately instead of waiting for a physical copy to ship. The down side is some books don’t have page numbers which is super annoying when the teacher wants you to turn to a specific page. Another thing is the page will randomly scroll and then scroll back not always to the same part I am on. The notes on the iPad cover the text I’m reading so if ur using that portion of the text u won’t be able to see what u we’re reading. This is mostly used on my iPad or iPhone but also happens on my hp laptop.
-- Kse77760, 2024-11-08

### ***** "Great study tool"
Great app to learn
-- Luis Antoine, 2024-11-06

### *---- "It’d Be Nice If I Could Actually Read Along While Listening"
The audiobook for multiple e-textbooks never read along in the right place. The audiobook will keep reading and the highlighted part will be stuck paragraphs above where the voice is at. The search function also doesn’t work right. If I’m searching for something, I don’t want the search to show me a page at the end of the book, I want the search to direct me to the first instance of the search term. This is the third or fourth time I’ve bought/rented an ebook because the book is what my class requires. I seriously wish I had another option cause I’m not happy with the way the app worked. At. All.
-- MlGrifFromIL, 2024-11-05

### *---- "Is not optimized to scroll through textbooks"
This app does not allow me to scroll through my textbook. Half of the time I try to scroll through my textbook it does not scroll. This is infuriating trying to use the app as a textbook for schoolwork. Please fix this problem.  The textbook I am using is building construction principles materials and systems third edition. Once my class is finished I’m deleting this app.
-- Cj@y, 2024-11-05

### ***** "Chemistry"
I saved 200.00 a month that I was paying in tutoring when I subscribed to this app for my daughter. It allowed her to have a digital book for her Chemistry class, as well as study questions for the chapter she was reading. This is a great app for that student needing more help.
