Navigate eReader 2.0 Reviews

Not sure why NavigateeReader20 has such a low rating. Maybe they’ve updated it since? It’s a very simple app for sure but I don’t have any issue reading my books on it and it looks much better than the actual website looks on my phone. I’m taking 1 star off because I did have an issue logging in on NavigateeReader20. The login area was there but I couldn’t see any text on screen so I had to enter my login information and just hope I typed it right. But yea honestly it’s decent, it kind of reminds me of BookShelf by BooksRun minus the bookmarking feature.

As someone who despises online text books pairing NavigateeReader20 with a tablet or mobile phone makes it bearable to read and navigate the ebooks required for my college courses. Although when you sign in it doesn’t show the text you are typing into the text box’s everything else about NavigateeReader20 is smooth and easy to navigate! App definitely deserves far more stars than 1.5.

Hands down the worst app. I’ve ever used. I paid a lot of money to use a book and I keep getting kicked out of the program. Not user friendly at all. Disappointed that I’m required to use this book. Can hardly ever access it. And have to leave screen on to listen, when it lets you. When it does work, and you want to listen to the book it doesn’t continue from page to page. You have to manually go to the next page and start it over.

I was quite discouraged when I saw all of the 1 star reviews, however, I realized these reviews are from people who don’t know how to use a freakin’ phone. It only took me 7 seconds of confusion trying to find out how to select chapters, NavigateeReader20 is great for when I don’t have my laptop handy. Go ahead and give 1 star though if you’re old and technologically impaired...

The most idiotic thing ever. Work on fixing how accessible the E-books are on the actual website first before creating an app, because it seems like whoever is in charge of that only has knowledge on technologies from 1999. It should not take 30 minutes to be find where the E-book I’VE PURCHASED ALREADY is located, and they should be ready to use upon purchasing. On top of that, it is extremely difficult to navigate the ebooks once you’ve found out how to access them.

Downloaded to read the TNCC book because the website wouldn’t function on Safari on my fully updated iPad, loaded a page the first time then after I scrolled, only part of the page would show up and it wouldn’t even let me move to the next or previous pages in order to refresh the page I was trying to read. An e-reader app that doesn’t let you read your book gets one star.

I don’t really understand the 1star reviews for NavigateeReader20. NavigateeReader20 allowed me to have full access to my textbooks with no problems. Works great and I can finally navigate through my textbook without glitches on my iPad!

It works, but it randomly flips to the next page a lot and because of that can be frustrating as you constantly have to go back to the previous page and scroll back to your place. Instead of swiping, there should be a forward and back button at the bottom to get to the next/previous page.

I want to listen to the audio without having to keep my phone unlocked the entire time. When I lock my phone it only plays till the end of the last line it was reading. When I press play while it’s locked, after the sentence ends, it just repeats the last sentence it read.

Most students, that I know, have full time jobs and
Families. We cram our study time into drives, lunch breaks and weekends. NavigateeReader20 is almost useless to people like me who just want to listen to the audio when we can’t be reading (while driving, working, etc.).

It’s very dissatisfied how much money goes in to learning products and yet how little thought and design goes into the services.

I don’t like anything about NavigateeReader20. It is not user friendly in any way. I can’t even highlight text in a book without skipping lines, flipping through pages, etc. None of the functions I have tried are without flaws. I am a graduate student, so I have had to read textbooks on a variety of apps before and this one is probably the worst I have seen. The website isn’t as bad, but still isn’t that functional.

I’m in a class of 28 Fire Academy students and NavigateeReader20 doesn’t let anyone sign in. Judging by past reviews it seems like a pretty common occurrence.

The eBook on the website constantly crashes and I’ve also been frozen/locked out of quizzes and test while taking them.

Who’s pockets did this company grease to get their book as required curriculum? Their software is hot garbage and they don’t seem to care about fixing it.

Again not sure why the reviews are so poor. I’m traveling and this is SO much easier to use than my big book. 5* all day. Making my life a lot easier!

After logging into the Jones & Bartlett website for my class I was able to easily download my textbooks into NavigateeReader20... Not sure why prior reviewers were having problems. Not I can easily study while using NavigateeReader20.

Downloaded and ran just fine with my login.

Crashes if iPad goes to sleep, kind of a pain if you put your “book” down for a moment. Page scroller at the bottom is choppy, doesn’t go smoothly from one page to next.

Nice hypertext features. Needs ability to accept handwritten notes using my Apple Pencil and iPad.

I gave this 4 out of 5 stars due to lack of specific instruction for setting up the account. You MUST access the account on a ***desktop PC*** and not on a mobile device at least once in order for NavigateeReader20 login to work. It will not work unless you do this!

Highlighting and adding notes should not be this difficult. Randomly changes pages when highlighting, no reason to be this overly sensitive. Kindle, Adobe, and iPad book app should be looked as examples of better usability. Read other reviews of additional reasons why NavigateeReader20 is a bust. Nothing will be done of coarse, assuming because we should be grateful to even have the “convenience” of NavigateeReader20

One would think that the many, many previous bad reviews explicitly stated the NAV2 app wasn’t accepting their login credentials would be enough to get this issue fixed. Apparently it’s not. Does Navigator even read these reviews? Maybe THEY can’t login either. I have NAV1 app installed and am able to login to that one but am left with the bad taste of not being able to use the new features in NAV2.

Please fix this problem NOW. We have paid an outrageously high price for the EMT book on the premise that we will be able to access the material across multiple platforms. Not able to log in on my mobile device. Unless this problem is fixed today, I will be asking for a partial refund because the advertising claims are inaccurate.

The apps TTS really well for the first half of the fall semester. Then they did an update & the TTS stopped working in NavigateeReader20 . Works on the desktop, so there’s that... wish it worked on my phone. I also had issues with the page flipping to the next page with the slightest touch, some others had on here.

Every time I log in it would let me and tells me I need to launch the course on line which I have. Pretty crappy to pay for this new book for this course and I can’t even use NavigateeReader20 which is what I need to complete the course. App is crap and I feel that this company is taking money for aspects that they offer and not coming through on it.
