Ratings and reviews

The only thing I can say the app does is download your books. The font size has no way of being resized. Rotating to landscape actually makes the font smaller cause it attempts to fit the whole page in a smaller area. The transition time between pages is long even though I've downloaded the book. The highlight function is buggy. Do I really need to go on? Education apps shouldn't be making your life harder.

Horrible, very difficult to use this product across the board, on tablets, phones, and laptops, highlighting is extremely difficult. You can't search for words, names etc. Like other products. For example you can't type in heart failure. With the app bookshelf you can, then it shows you all the pages it's located on. I would not have purchased an ebook if I knew how bad redshelf is. It's bad. Save your money!

The text highlighting function doesn't work. Every time I try, only a word is highlighted but won't allow to extend to more. The function works well on desktop though and syncs to show up on my phone. I just can't do the same in reverse. The app does its job of letting me read the textbook.
