I love this app. Having a learning disability and attending nursing school can be difficult. Having an app that narrates the textbook has proved invaluable. My grades have gone up and I am able to retain the information from the texts. Nursing school is over priced, however, this app makes buying or renting the texts more affordable. This app is far more superior when compared to similar apps like, Amazon kindle and Google Books.

This app is a nightmare to use. I downloaded it to my tablet, thinking it would be useful to have an offline version of the textbook I am working with available on my tablet while being in the lab. It is not. Content takes forever to load. Trying to look at figures linked in the text more often than not leads to jumping back to the beginning of the chapter, or simply doesnt work at all. Text of one entire section is squisted into a few unreadable lines, and updating doesn't change that... Fun!

This app and company take advantage of distance learning and online textbooks. It isn't able to be accessed properly though online lms such as Canvas, isn't able to be accessed on mobile, and is difficult to use in browser on a computer. I'm really disappointed in it, and unhappy that my grade and performance in college relies on this company and their shoddy products. Good luck folks.

This is an awesome app that allows you to use highlighting, notecard, and note taking tools. You can zoom in and out exactly where you want it, which makes the text easier to read. The text is also high-definition, making it easier to read for longer periods of time on a screen. It has all the perks of having an actual text book, except it's on your phone/tablet/computer.

Stuck in traffic, in the waiting room, on a flight or just have some extra time on your hands, maybe multi tasking this app allows you to take your books with you without the extra weight, backpack, highlighters ,note book and index cards. This app has it built in for you. Driving and need to finish your reading before class , this app can even read your books to you. You can purchase or lease books also. I love this app.

I enjoy a lot about this, like how you can search for keywords and stuff, but I think it's dumb that your password needs a symbol. I've lost my password twice and every time i try to reset it my link always expires practically immediately. Then when I contact support they have no helpful imput and I have to be transfered until someone can actually help me.
