Ratings and reviews

Good app, but I had some issues: 1. The words on PDF versions of books are overlapped onto each other, making it difficult to read (I understand that it's in beta; I just want to point out the issue.) 2. Once you add a bookmark, you can't remove it on mobile. 3. There's no sub-category on the app. When you press the search button (second one from bottom left), you are shown some general topics like "mathematics" or "physical science. It doesn't have subtopics like "Calculus" or "Relativity".

Great selection but the app is held together with gaffer tape and string. Missing images, failing downloads, wonky formatting, it's holding back what could be an absolute must have. The biggest problem by far is that images, diagrams, and formulae are constantly missing from ePub formatted books. From TEXTBOOKS. This is a huge, huge problem and needs fixing now. I still recommend it just because of the enormous selection but the app (and web app) are absolutely crying for serious investment.

Excellent source of academic books. Much better selection than Scribd! However, the app and the online site are not so good: 1. you can't really download books from their app. You can only view them within the app. Some are pdfs, others are epub which I particularlly dislike as they don't look like the actual book. 2. No page numbers that correspond to the actual physical book 3. It doesn't like Maths symbols 4. messy layout It has LOTS of potential! Would still recommend.
