Terrible! Unacceptable reading the reviews reveal this problem has been there for ages but still no fix. I have been Safari subscriber for near a decade, mainly using it on my iPhone, which work fine. Sad, make me wonder the state of safari business and if I should continue to subscribe. Any substitute product?

This app should be removed from the app store. Safari Books Online appears to be a dead site now. They have now deactivated all accounts. You need to create an O'Reilly account or convert your Safari account to an O'Reilly account. Besides, this app has not been updated since 2016!

Until this week the app was satisfactory. It did shrink the text when first opening a book or rotating the screen and made code images small, but I could work around those problems. The content is great and I love having it with me wherever I go. This week problems showed up that made the app unusable. I'm giving 3 stars based on past experience, trusting that it will be fixed soon. The text sizes now range from large to ridiculously huge, and the words don't wrap at the edge of the screen. I can drag the page left to look at some of the rest, but not all. As soon as I lift my finger, it jumps to the next page. There is no way to read even one full line. I am running Android 6.0 on an LG G4 phone. [Edit:] All Safari users are being migrated to the new O'Reilly Safari. The new app should be much better.

Completely unusable. I've been a Safari bookshelf user for more than 10 years and this app was great in the past. It would allow you to read your books on your bookshelf. Now, the content is completely unreadable as it flows off the right side of the "page" and you cannot see over half of the page you are reading.

I like this app for my personal account. I have Safari Queue from my employer also. However, lately the "Safari To Go' is flakey and keeps changing the font size preference and doesn't display reverse video properly (white on black.) I don't know if I can change my private subscription to the latest platform due to its cost. :-(

Tried to read two different technical books with this app. The book page doesn't fit the screen, attempting to scroll makes pages fly by. Tried adjusting the font size to as small as I could read and half the page still ran off the screen with no remedy. I think there is no app for traditional safari online subscribers. Uninstalled. I'll try going back to the browser portal for my phone.
