Negative comments

I’ve read a lot of the negative comments and for me the app does what I need it to. Allows me to get notifications and it can read the textbook to you while you drive or just in general. Can search the text to find specific topics within the chapters. Only downside is that the app does not let you do the course work. But that may be asking too much. Doing it on the laptop is just fine and using my phone to search the textbook while I work on the laptop works perfectly and saves time. Very useful app just glad it even exists.

Aside from ebook load times it’s great

I’ve used this app for two semesters now, it’s not mandatory but is provided this semester. It’s easy to navigate compared to similar products like Pearson’s Mylab, WileyPlus, etc which aren’t even worth installing. I like the ability to easily highlight and then review only highlighted material. Much more practical then highlighting a textbook or notes, bonus I can still use the textbook and resell it as “like new”. I haven’t used it yet but in the past the reading to you function was great. I can’t read my law 201 textbook for long before getting bored and trailing off so it’s a useful source. I do have a problem with the random load times for sections of the text. It’s always been buggy and either sometimes won’t load at all, or just requires you exact the app and reopen it. Sometimes it will be there ready to use, other times I have to try it again, even then it can take several minutes to load up. Other then that I’d give it 5 stars.

Great But Not Fully Mobile Compatible

This app offers a great way to learn. I love the Mastery, the Chapters, the Practice Problems, the Problem Sets, and the Practice Exams. My only issue is that it isn’t fully compatible with mobile devices or iPads. I cannot complete my problem sets using my smartphone or iPad, which poses a problem seeing as I do not have a PC or a Mac. Also, using some PC’s, I’ve had issues with being able to submit precise answers. For example, in trying to correctly create a histogram or bar graph in Chapter 2 of Statistics, it did not offer me the ability to place the the bar exactly where I wanted, but instead gave one value below and one value above. I wanted to graph a frequency of .16, but could only place it at .15 or .17. This is an issue considering I was being graded on this problem set. I’m unsure if it is a sensitivity issue or if the program just doesn’t work well with certain devices.
