Perlego: Your online library

Constantly facing downloading problem and need to remove app and re-install to get it work. Please fix it! Thx!

It’d be better if the library is bigger (meaning: more books) and the Perlego app is more user-friendly.

A few minor inconveniences have been fixed with the new update! One thing that has been fixed due to the new lateral scrolling feature is that now, the figures and images in the textbooks are always visible. Before, they would not load at all, and I would have to zoom in and out to make them appear. Overall, great app and a great update. Thank you!

Have one year subscription, very bad user experience.

What an incredible app! My textbooks are so expensive. Perlego gives me access to the books I need for a fraction of the price. I recommend Perlego to all of my fellow students 🙌🏻

Trying to use a travel guide book via you - it’s a nightmare! Can’t zoom on maps, can’t search in the app !!!

I love this app! As a geeky reader, I used to buy tons of books until I barely had enough space to keep them, and I also spent quite a lot of money. I was sooo happy to find Perlego. They have really good titles and authors that I love! 💜 It has been quite helpful because sometimes I bought books that I didn't end up liking the content of, but with this app, I can have a look through them without having to make the decision to buy. Everything they have is accessible to everyone with your monthly subscription -no additional costs! and they keep adding books every week, which is fascinating. I can even download up books from the app and read them offline, which is super handy, especially when traveling or in areas with poor wifi. 100% recommend it! 😍

Perlego has great content but is let down by the app and web interface. It’s worst for ‘PDF only books’ on iPhone where pinch to zoom is essential but the pages glitch and scroll randomly. Web access has similar but different glitches. Have never got ‘Read Aloud’ to work on my iPhone which is where the feature would be most useful. Get these things sorted and I’ll subscribe again. If you only read books on a large computer monitor or laptop you could have a better experience but that doesn’t work for me. I don’t have a laptop and don’t want to sit at a desk to read.

I love the content it provides but if we’re talking about the app functionality itself, when I go away from it and come back there has been a white screen the last couple of times and I’ve had to redownload. Also annoying that you can’t scroll down, just horizontally. Please amend 😟

For penurious researchers, Perlego is a resource beyond riches. I have used it for 3 books now and it continues to provide valuable information for my projects. If I have one niggle, it is that, as a chartered librarian (retired), my inbuilt search-strings skills to drill down to the precise information I want, do not work because the indexing is too general.
