Packt Reader

aside from the increasingly poor content and clear omissions in quality checking and editing , the whole experience is made worse by an app which appears to be all the flavours of candy but without the taste. Massively slow loading of content, distinct lack of account control aside from font size and light and dark mode, and a reading experience from 20 years ago. The videos are also poor quality

How can I log in using Google? I’ve created an account using Google on the website, but the app doesn’t provide this method to log in

It’s pathetic that something as basic as single sign on isn’t available

A beta app at best. Gets the job done but with a few bugs and a lot of missing features. I will still continue to use and I hope they invest some money into it

Uninstalled app, since as others said the app crashes for no reason and loses all settings. Not worth the effort to use the app.

I have a few video titles that I want to watch but can’t because selecting a chapter crashes the app Also you can see what books you own unless I’m completely missing it.

The app frequently encounters issues, notably crashing during transitions between book chapters or video training sessions. This not only interrupts the learning experience but also removes the resource from the library view, requiring users to search for it again and restart their progress. For a premium membership, a more reliable and user-friendly companion app is expected.

I guess they do not read their own boooks....

Why do I have to sacrifice features like syntax highlighting and keyword highlighting like the web reader has for the convenience of having the book on my phone? Every code snippet should be syntax highlighted. Every keyword that’s highlighted in the book in the web reader should be highlighted in the app. This is one of the better readers out there but it could be the best reader out there.

None of the videos have any audio. Also when you download a book it doesn’t track progress.
