I love the concept. I also have the pdf version of the code book and that is substantially better and cheaper. The interactive version is horribly slow and therefore useless in my opinion. But if you have 5 min to allow a page to load and If you don't mind that you can't do continuous scrolling and if you don't mind paying double the price of the pdf version that has a better search tool then this is the right book for you.

Not very user friendly to navigate through on a mobile device. Really dislike the fact I need to access it from CSA's website everyone. Some nice features for code book reading though. Overall good start but definitely needs refining.

Such a good idea, and would be worth the extra investment if it worked properly. Instead you have a search that doesn't do much, and a system that will go to any link you swipe over while trying to change pages. Making navigating frustrating and sometimes impossible.

The search engine barely works and takes forever. Navigating the book is slow. I had a digital copy of the previous edition of the code that ran on pdf and it works a million times better than this crappy app. Don't waste your money and buy a physical version or find a pdf version.

You would think for $250 a shot you could make an app that works smoothly. This reader is slooooow! I have a quad core cpu and 3GB of Ram, one of the best phones on the market in the last year and this app is barely usable. Search? Yeah, right! Enter the search term (if it doesn't hang) and then go make dinner while you wait. If I didn't have to wait for a 200mb file to download before testing it this would 100% for sure be uni n stalled for refund.

App is buggy, crashes continuously. Needs to connect to server to work, semi useless for trades in the field. Buy the book until they can make a decent app that's stable and where the content is viewable offline.
