Adobe Digital Editions

The very worst app ever. Blank pages, fuzzy print, totally frustrating. It is impossible to read a book with this app.

I only got this app as it was the only option for buying a book that I wanted. The pages take ages to load and often often the app is so slow that it is basically unusable. Very frustrating.

The app doesn’t display the text of the book.

Adobe is dumpster fire software One star is six too many

Wow. This is a poorly designed App. The worst feature must be that the notch on the top of iPhone screen obscures the top of documents - surely Adobe could have simply created an upper margin? Very disappointing from the worlds largest producer of graphic and layout design tools.

The max font size is on the small size. There is only one font and you can't even style it (bold / sans-serif). Flipping pages too quickly makes them turn in the wrong direction. In dark mode, turning the page sometimes flashes white briefly. I'm only using it to preview now. If I like what I read I'll go to the library and request a physical copy.

For being an adobe app this thing is terrible. I needed an app to read an adobe DRM book so this was the obvious choice. However I cannot believe that this app has remained non functional for over four years and hasn’t had an update in the same amount of time. The page turning function doesn’t work properly and the app crashes randomly during reading and ebook uploading. Shame on you adobe for putting out such junk!

I paid $70 for an eBook. I am forced to use this software to read it. If you’re gonna use DRM, the app that you need to use the book better be good. Well, this is not that app. Congratulations! There is no other choice. If the aim is to make people hate DRM and want to break it, this app excels splendidly. Fortunately both the PDF and epub versions of my book are readable, but the PDF viewer is glitchy and I have to re-zoom any time I turn the page. The typesetting for the epub is awful, with full justification with no hyphenation, so the text block is hideous with big spaces between the words. I can’t make the text as small as I’d like and the margins are wider than they need to be, even at the maximum setting for text width. Please, Adobe, fix this app. This should be the best reader possible if there are no other choices. In the meantime, I’m ordering a paper copy of the book and I will be able to use it as I please.

Adobe should be ashamed of this app. @Elcroquis why do you limit yourself to this awful app?

I purchased the digital book a month ago and still do not have access to it. Opened the app and the book is not available. It shows that it is but when I click on it nothing appears on the screen.
