I like the way the app is set up and everything, but sometimes the audio function does not want to play and you have to press the play button like ten times to get it to work — not the best for commuters. Another inconvenience is that sometimes it will read through the whole chapter, whereas other times the audio will stop after every page — again, very annoying when you’re driving or multitasking. Finally, I would like to see an assignments tab that clearly lists the writing assignments still left to do. Right now they are located sporadically at the bottom of the pages which makes it difficult to see what you need to get done, especially when listening to the audio. Please address these problems and this will be an excellent app!

I like having my text book on my laptop/phone but what is the point if the highlight feature that was implemented only works at times.. I like to read the text, highlight the important stuff as I go, then go back to it and take notes when i finish that whole section. On numerous occasions I have came back my highlights/notes were not saved. I am double majoring, dont have a lot of time to have to go back to re read and highlight what I ALREADY did. please fix that. the few times the highlighting works it’s not up to it’s full potential, for ex. — I highlight stuff on the app/website but if I switch over from one to the other it & it isn’t there — I highlight on phone thru the app OR laptop highlight thru website, then switch to other device its not on THAT device if that makes sense. so I have to switch back to my device I original took notes on to see my work on that section. that also should be fixed. other than that, great.

The app is poorly organized and has very annoying tendencies. For instance, when I try to highlight a section of text, it for some reasons will automatically scroll to the very top of the page. I could stop it but when I released my finger it continued to scroll up. When it reaches the top of the page it just stays there. If I try to scroll down it will again scroll itself to the top by itself. I have to close the app to make it work again. I just need to highlight a simple definition but can’t, which makes my homework assignment take even longer. When I registered for a new course it refused to download. It would just show 0% and do nothing. Then it finally started to download after closing the app multiple times, but once it reached 100% it somehow went back to the little cloud icon and showed 0% again. It wouldn’t let me open the course either. I ended up just deleting the app and tried again and it finally worked. I’m a busy college student, I don’t have the time to try to get this stupid app to work properly so I can study and do my homework.

It’s super nice having a digital textbook but sometimes the functions glitch out and act super weird, especially highlighting and the concept maps. It’s annoying how it takes me back to the top when I change the color of highlights and sometimes doing that makes it drag all the way to the top and I can’t scroll down again. This goes away when I close the app and open it again, but still weird. As for the concept maps, I click on the first thing and there’s often a text box that doesn’t go away, covering up other text. Sometimes tapping it works but usually not. Thanks for making this stuff work as well as it does and I hope my feedback is helpful! I appreciate having a textbook on my phone and computer.

Worst app I have used in a while. Every single time I try to listen to the audio narration of a chapter/section in the book. I have to frequently go look for the next section and press the button for the next section every 2 minutes. Why can’t they do the same thing like audible which goes from one section to the next without you having to look for the next section and press play? If someone for instance is driving and trying to listen to the audio version (bluetooth wise in their car) that is absolutely a distraction and a waste of time since you cannot concentrate as efficiently as possible without having to press for the next section. Additionally, another useless thing is on their website I see nothing that can let me send out this complaint. This is absurd since how can a student be spending a great deal of money and not be able to notify the company of a certain issue and get a response back?
