O'Reilly

A random subset of books fails to open on the iPad app, but work on the web. Having O’Reilly is generally good but the iPad app is annoying. Used to be better.

I am a faithful user for over 5 years. The collection of knowledge inside O’Reilly has helped me in various aspects if my work. I usually need to build quickly a deep understanding of a subject and having O’Reilly at hand helps me do this.

The application is quite useless for IOS. Unable to browse content, to refill on the descriptions...

It lacks a lot of the web functionality, like filtering and rich menu

tried to signup but every email I had said invalid after correctly entering code app screams off shore development and which is sad bc oreilly use to be a decent platform for reading engineering books but now their app and website is poorly engineered by overseas and I wouldn’t trust with my payment details if they can’t implement signup same problem exist across devices and connections wifi vs mobile and ios vs android vs pc

There are actually a number of nice features, and the reading view is plenty configurable. That said, the rendering of textbooks in several of the configuration states needs work. In particular, a single wide programming text box in vertical scroll mode will make the entire page finicky (think desktop website on mobile), and in horizontal paging mode, it just runs onto the next page, overlapping with text. All programming text boxes should be made into horizontally scrollable elements. If this conflicts with horizontal paging interaction, then make text boxes selectable, like kindle images.

This is so frustrating!! Whenever I highlight a few words or sentences, the highlighting disappears and I had to redo it again!😤😤😤

Post upgrade app lost track of all downloaded content, which seems to still be there on disk, inaccessible.

This is becoming a scam. I used to really enjoy it. But couldn’t find how to unsubscribe. My employer isn’t paying for this anymore.

Highlights seem to not be supported. Bookmarks as well? Please bring back this functionality.
