O'Reilly

Content is the there, but this app is complete disaster - this should serve as library for books you choose, you need for projects, you want to pick for later studying, or maybe look at in free time, but it just overloads you with unstructured neverending stream of books. There are no bookshelves, own categories, no sorting, nothing, so after adding few hundred books, you have no idea what you added, it reshuffles everytime you access it or download it, so it's like coming to great library where is just a pile of completely unsorted books and they give you option to pick and create second smaller pile, from which when you pick book, you throw it back on top instead putting it back. I hate that this app forces me to go on net, pirate same content in some pdf I already have and payed for!, just that I can add it to reader that has folders or bookshelves, where I can organize and find it.

You don’t have the parts for my car

The video player doesn’t have the project files mentioned in the videos. The iPad interface for learning is dumb. On the latest iPads we can watch YouTube for hours but your video player drains it faster than YouTube or even playing videos in browser.

Overall a solid app, love it and love the library availability. I also appreciate the option in search to not need a starting keyword to get to search filtering. I can start from everything and use filters to find what I want (which, most of the time, I don't know exactly what I want).

Everything I try to access says “Not available for your account”

I recently started using this app for video courses so this issue list is not exhaustive. 1. When you pause the video to read details on the screen, start/stop control buttons overlay the screen and it’s dimmed, making it difficult to read the content. 2. There is no way to zoom/expand what is the screen content via two fingers.

It’s a good app, almost perfect if they can sort out the syncing issue. It keeps bringing me back to my previous pages.

This app is very useful when you have access to the O’Reilly library, great search tools to find books, articles, videos, etc., and then bookmark your favorites into playlists. My only frustration is with the reader, which is very erratic. For example you would expect the most recently read book to open at the more recently read page the next mornings, but the actual page is a toss. Even turning the iPad orientation while looking at a table sometimes kicks me off to tens of pages away.

Excellent resource!

Wish it worked for me. Just getting a blank white screen. They need to fix these bugs.
