Ratings and reviews

This app sucks: it doesn't let you download PDFs to your phone so that you can actually use a proper PDF reader to read it aloud to you. They force you to use their own which, I swear, had JUST a black screen with a play/pause button + mute. That's it. No voices options or reading speeds. Accidentally click out of the app? Starts from the beginning! No resume where u left off. 8pgs into a snoozfest academic study? OMG. Basic controls people. Also u can't select the text to paste elsewhere. 🤬

EBSCO is a huge company that partners with so many educational institutions. In this day and age its disappointing to see a company not have accessability options like read aloud, or simple functions found on other readers like the option to highlight or write notes. if they added these to the app it would be a much better alternative than getting a used hard copy book

You cannot connect to your institution. The app tries to launch a browser (I assume to let you authenticate) and fails. I've tried repeatedly with no success. That effectively makes this app literally useless

What's new

The newly added "Custom Date Range" filter on the search page allow users to define specific dates or a range for their research, enabling more targeted results, improving the overall research experience by helping users focus on relevant content within their chosen timeframe.
