Ratings and reviews

Patchy. Am using on android phone, pc and android tablet. Reasonable on phone and pc but poor on tablet, with top menu bar disabled, erratic navigation, and missing text boxes. Normally would do most reading on the tablet so it's v disappointing that it can't handle text book layouts. Seems to be in a bit of a bubble, for example doesn't create citation lists or link with any citation apps.

One of the reasons why I look forward to complete my studies is to get rid of Kortext. Since 2020, my uni does not provide any alternatives so I am forced to suffer lags, lack of updates and development and a user unfriendly functionality. Kortext has managed to waste so much of my time and make my studying experience so much worse. I find it unacceptable that they state being a leading platform, simply ridiculous.

The app used to work fine earlier, though it was a little glitchy. Then it kept crashing, and after uninstalling and reinstalling, the top bar was completely disabled. Basically impossible to use now
