Works well enough for just reading text, but the anatomy textbooks I have are mostly pictures and diagrams, but the app doesn't let you zoom so it's basically useless without the ability to zoom in to see more clearly on my phone. It's such a basic feature that I'm surprised it's not available.

Good, works off WiFi, search is decent. Biggest problem is images are all useless. No zoom to allow you to look at images, flowcharts, etc. You can make them into flashcards and then it will let you zoom. But stupid workaround. Difficult to scroll, and have to be careful to use the top bars to stay in a certain place.

The app is crashing again and again. while loading Campbell Urology book I get prompted repeatedly the "app is not responding".. Even when the book opens after a long time of loading, that prompt still keeps appearing on screen until I close the app. also now I am having difficulty in login also, it's getting stuck after entering password and username... saying something went wrong.. that's all.. no login after that. I even sent an email to Elsevier book... no response yet
