Awful
Book is there but will not download. Tried on my laptop and same issue. Unethical to sell books when your interface for reading does not work
Waste of time and space. Non-functional.
When an app requires a verigication code within two minutes and the don't send it until the next morning (when it, of course, doesn't work) it is beyond non-functional, it is a waste of space on your device. Deleting forever.
Won’t send a verify code
Tried to log in maybe twenty times tonight, but after the first 4 times (and 20 minutes) finally got two emails. The codes in both didn’t work (expired). Gave it a test for 3-4 hrs and tried again a few more times, no email. Tried both The desktop app and the MacOS app, and the iOS app. The last few times I used iOS app. Only the iOS app shows a countdown timer of 2 minutes, which expired, without an email… The whole thing seems… odd. Not a standard format (pdf), doesn’t load in normal readers…. Idk. I don’t like it. The book was inexpensive and did not advertise what format, just “eBook” so kind of a bait and switch for a weird broken experience, when my expectation was a more standard format….
Awful, avoid it
Had to download the app to listen to the 11 audiobooks I purchased at the Princeton University Press annual sale. Only one book plays, and even that with glitches. The app freezes constantly (and it’s not my phone issue, I have 400GB free). It would have been a better deal if I paid full price for the books on Apple Books - at least I would have been able to listen to them. I’m surprised respectable publishers associate with such a junk of an app!
App error
Not really thrilled with this app. Only got it for one specific book that I was having trouble finding, even used. When I first purchased the book, had the app downloaded and verified, the books still wasn’t showing up. I was able to get it to show up through contacting CS. I am now having trouble accessing the book again (and this isn’t the first time, but I can’t remember if it ever resolved the last time). I have yet to contact CS again, and while they will hopefully be able to fix the problem I don’t want to be constant emailing or calling CS.
Not responsive
I bought a ebook from Fox Publishing and was directed to this app, signed up for the app and had to respond within 2 minutes with a “verification code “. Did not receive the code after 3 attempts. Now my purchase is in limbo. Looking at the app reviews I am not the only one with this complaint.
Not Working
I downloaded 5 books then later on i cant open it. Waited for a couple of days and same result still not working. I dont what to do anymore wasted good chunk of money.
General fixes and refinements.
