Navigate eReader 2.0

Worst app I’ve downloaded. Buggy, and glitchy. For the price of the textbook you’d expect much better. Do better.

Bought a JB Learning etextbook to use as a reference, and after blocking use of the book, they informed me that they only do subscriptions, and I would have to pay another few hundred dollars again to use the textbook for another couple years. If you want an ebook you can continually reference, just find a free PDF of their textbooks online. I wanted to discuss it further with them but after one email JB Learning stopped replying.

Just by opening this app you can feel how much the developer hates his job. Which, is the only good thing about this app. Anyone who works for a company that exploits students this much deserves to be miserable and die alone. This app sucks, JB learning sucks, and the people who make JB learning what it is, the people with eyes wide shut to how predatory a $1000 SUBSCRIPTION to an online textbook is, those people deserve pain. Horrible, horrible, awful, everlasting pain.

I wanted to give it 0 stars but 1 is minimum. I log into my computer just fine but on this app it refuses to recognize my login info. It’s so frustrating, you spend 600 on a textbook just to be brickwalled by a utterly useless app that looks like it was designed by a drunk caveman.

I literally never review apps, but because Navigate Ereader is so awful, I find myself leaving a review on the App Store for the very first time. It crashes. And crashes. And crashes some more. Want to switch chapters in the textbook? Not without requiring a forced restart of the app. Want to switch between apps, reply to a message, then return to Navigate Ereader 2.0? That’s gonna be another forced restart. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on textbooks that use this app, and none of them work. How can this company sell books for such outrageous prices and not have any money leftover to build a functional app??

Using this on an iPad Pro. Can’t see back button unless in landscape mode. Can’t read entire page when font size increased slightly. Can’t highlight text online or in ereader app. Switched from Safari to Chrome. Most problems persist except can highlight now only online version, not app. Piece of garbage.

I was getting the same log in error as others.. was ready to give up but decided to login to the website through jb learning (where my acct is through) on my iPad. Once I logged in and launched the Ebook through that way it brought up the download or launch app button which brought my acct online and was able to use app. Now no issues, -1 star because of how difficult it was to figure out. So for others.. try logging into your acct through your iPad on the web browser.. and launch your book.

Login screen repeatedly states, “Incorrect username or password. If you have not yet launched the eBook through a web browser, please do this first and try again.” I have tried this countless times. No issue logging in to jblearning.com and launching eBook from online content. I am unable to use iPad reader. Reading options are on computer or bulky textbook. App is useless.

I just downloaded the app to use on my phone, but when I put in my info to log in, it says that it’s incorrect. Highly unimpressed. I’ll just use a browser then.

Now it says my book needs to be updated but every time I click to update it the app crashes. The app was at least operational before but I can’t even open the previous version of my book.
