Ratings and reviews

They fixed the crashing issues! I haven't had a single problem since my last review! They have tons of titles, not just McGrawHill, but from other sites like OpenStaxs as well! Tons of helpful content! I love this app! It has helped with studying and even breaks things down in a way textbooks don't, expands on areas that need it and really offers so much! I definitely recommend giving this app a try!

It's a great premise, however, I'm finding a number of errors between the content and my accounting textbook, and what is displayed on the screen may not match up with what is being said in the video, as in the content mismatch is contradictory to one another. 2/5 because I find the app helpful for studying--its easy and accessible. The glaring "but" is that for such a large education company, these are simple errors that shouldn't have been overlooked.

The app simply isn't functional. I reached out to let them know before and after the most recent update that there were and continue to be issues and received no reply. The idea of this app is great but it just doesn't work, as the current code is written. EDIT: I sent the feedback through the app and to Simon Allen. I've already offered my feedback through multiple channels and your are clearly aware of the technical issues of the product. You have a non functional product.
