Perlego: Your online library

The platform is lagged, I only used this app because my college book was on it. Also made it really hard for me to cancel my subscription. And charged me for a month I did not use.

It used to work great. Now it’s just stuck on a white screen

Perlego just added a read out loud tool to its mobile app. So practical! I am getting lots more done because it keeps me in pace. Love it!

GIVE ME PAGE NUMBERS OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!! For real though, would be a 5 star app. Oh, and add the nice color text to the mobile version. It is a really helpful reading tool.

As an app this leaves a lot to be desired, including in its search features. An annoying and very basic limitation is the complete inability to remember where your previous place in a book. Every other reading app, eg Everand (formerly Scribd) and Kindle manage to do this across multiple devices, whereas Perlego seems incapable on a single device.

I bought the subscription almost exclusively for the Read Aloud AI option, but unfortunately the app doesn’t have that. The actual webpage does though if I use it in my browser.

Amazing source of knowledge.

Perlego is a lifesaver if you don't have access to a good academic library. And perhaps even more convenient than one if you do. But the interface leaves a bit to be desired: the scrolling is somewhat buggy, for instance, where the top and bottom margins may stretch; the viewing options are rather limited in many cases; there's no copy or citation option for referencing, etc. So while there's room for improvement, I'm nevertheless very glad it exists!

You must find an additional 15-20 minutes on reloading the reader in order to open a particular chapter. I’m not a native English speaker and for me, it’s important to select the word and translate it. In this app, I don’t have this opportunity.

I would change my review to 5 stars immediately
