Immediately     Crashes
You do not get an ebook for the textbook I purchased Instead it was a PDF that doesnt fit the screen for readability on mobile devices The print option 10 pages did not work Only a single page would print and the entire right side was cut off so not usable I tried using a web browser to study but its awkward to use I wish I had bought the actual book instead of this PDF version     Horrible
Horrible app the UI is outdated and not at all up to snuff As for checking books out the download times over wifi are absurd for the horrible image quality that its downright blurry on a retina display Apple take not and offer a large selection of textbooks via iBooks and you will corner the market completely This app needs a tremendous amount of work to make it seriveceable     If I could give it 0 stars I would
Crashes every time I use the search function and the table of contents option is difficult to use This could be a much better product     Crashes
I would try and give this a decent review but I cant even log in     Cant even log in
I never write reviews but I needed to log on just to write about how horrible this is Wow The highlighting feature is a nightmare The text looks like maybe two pixels The pages dont even fill up the whole screen so you have to manually zoom in which doesnt look good for the quality Just use your phones browser app Pretty bad PS The note feature is horrible too It got stuck on the keyboard and now doesnt have an option to go back to the actual text It doesnt even save the format you want it to be in That means no extra spaces between words or even lines Come on coursesmart Deleting this off my phone asap     Wow
I downloaded it with the intent of reading the etext version of my Business Law book However after downloading the app I came to find the Accounting etext for my other class which was purchased through McGraw Hill not Cengage Learning like the former book mentioned Consolidate and streamline everything in the app then we can talk about this being a competitive app compared to the others offered on here           The app is good but still needs A LOT of work
I just got this at my college book store but of course I didnt know it was going to be a poor ebook reader The text quality is horrible and very smudgy I dont like it but Im stuck with it since I cant return it I didnt know I wasnt going to like it until after activating it and my bookstore says no returns after activation Id rather and wish I got the kindle version instead Do not buy an ebook from here if u want good text quality I cant believe I just spent my money on this     Hate it and wish I could get money back
The app does not work properly 75 of the time Once you attempt to utilize the search future the app will close and crashes This app not only made my learning experience painful but its detrimental to its own purpose Terrible app Do not use unless you have no other choice I gave it a star because iTunes would not let me give it anything less     Painful
As a professor I do not recommend this app I tell my students to get the print or Kindle versions The image quality of the text and illustration is blurry and cannot be enlarged enough for visually impaired students The App has login problems and the live chat customer support wasted my time inputting detailed information and then quitting The telephone support was not any better A total waste of time and money Find your textbooks elsewhere if you can     A terrible product
This app is terrible I wouldnt use it at all except it is the only place for my schools ebooks It constantly closes out or requires me to log in over wifi in the most inconvenient times like when Im riding in the car It is almost impossible to highlight or take notes If you can use another app dont use this     Terrible
Great concept lousy implementation with speech if you rely on the VoiceOver screenreader If you are a blind student relying on this service you are able to log in access books in Safari but right now the actual page content does not display properly Email the developer if you need this app encourage them to address the display issue its not a difficult fix but it will not happen if users who pay for the service do not make their voices heard     Inaccessible
Slow Blurry Dumb Cant believe its educational Waste of money time and effort Suicide envoking     Worst text book ever
The ebooks are very poor in quality The text and the pictures are blurry It looks as if you need reading glasses There are watermarks on every single page that blocks the text The highlight function is slow and does not highlight accurately The app is slow and crashes quite often I regret buying ebooks from coursesmart you are better off with physical textbooks     WARNING DO NOT PURCHASE EBOOKS FROM COURSESMART
The app wont load up        Not sure
I hardly ever write reviews but this app really required it By far the WORST eReader I have ever used My school only uses this provider which I pay for and bad decision for the students First off it is a kludge Highlighting text can be a nightmare Synchronizing has never worked for me It gets part way and then says too many channels are in use The zoom inout is irritating because if the book uses small print a big thing with text books and you zoom in to read it you have to zoom back out to move to the next page Next semester I think Ill see if the school will just skip charging me for this service and Ill buy or rent my textbooks on my Kindle Amazon has it figured out This bunch is clueless Oh yes one more thing There is not ANY way to remove a book from the app Once youve got it you are stuck with it Almost forgot to mention that if you wish to have the book read to you via iPad accessibility forget it Doesnt work     Garbage
Worse table of contents ever Seriously needs to be fixed It is literally just pages listed by section without any numerical chapter or section indicators Ex A Government Page 8 Needed 12 A Government Page 8 Fix this ASAP also let us update from the App Store     Table of Contents
I cant even sign in because I use Facebook Connect on the web version to log in But my facebook login info doesnt work if directly entered into the login boxes     Needs facebook connect
I cant access my book from this app and I cant even find out how to retrieve it from Cengage learning the site that sent me to this app I hate their competitor Pearson but at least I can read my books on their app Ive wasted a to of time trying to get this to work to no avail If you want an ebook get the kindle version     Something so bad it made Pearson look good
As all the other reviews have suggested this app is by far the worst ereader I have EVER used The highlighting feature is the worst Ive ever encountered If I could find another company that has the textbooks I need I would switch in a heart beat For what you pay per book this company is a complete rip off Terrible design and very old school     Terrible EReader
I was really shocked by all the bad reviews My college just switched to etexts and this is the program we go through I find the app much easier to navigate through than the online site So far I have had no crashing problems and I use an iPad 2 with iOS 8                 Great reader app
I really dont know what all these negative reviews are about This app works just fine for me The text quality is fine on all three of my textbooks and while yes there is a watermarkit doesnt negatively impact the reading experience It does take forever to checkout a book for offline readings so that could definitely be improved but aside from that I think this is a great app              Room for improvement version 412
Crashes every time I try to search     Less that one start
No sound Bad texts Poor uiux     Terrible
Frequently crashes when I need my books most and my iPad mini is brand new Often times the navigation buttons refuse to show up and I have to scroll through the entire text page by page pretty much defeating the purpose of renting an eBook Search being separated into three separate categories is really unnecessary and wastes time Offline features are very frustrating and I gave up on trying to use them Not sure why a simple textbook reader is so hard to make when the textbooks on here are still decently expensive for rentals On top of it all the resolution is very poor Also since there is an option to sign upsign in with Facebook on the website there should be an option to sign in with Facebook on the app     Unreliable
This version of the app is a disappointment It crashes every time I try to checkout a book for offline use The highlighter is a hassle and sometimes freezes when in use I wish I never updated it Sure the older version had its faults but I could read offline and the highlighter was easier to use and did not freeze     Waste
App crashes please fix     Your app keeps crashing
Ive seen many bad apps but this one own last place for sure     Why me
Please upgrade it or I will definitely have to switch back to printed books     I CANNOT read with this horrible text quality
So the text in this app is a blurry mess You try zooming in to make out the words and then you trigger a bug that makes the page entirely unreadable This happens on approximately 20 of pages unless you dont use the zoom feature And get eyestrain Shame on coursesmart for crappy software and shame on coursesmart for ripping off their customers The books cost hundreds of dollars and yet we cant even read them Disgusting     Extremely buggy and hard to use
The overall user interface looks fine The downside is the whole point of this app is to be able to read my purchased Ebooks The text was so visually awful to read I returned the book within ten minutes and will delete this app Maybe in the future the text will look better     App looks useful text is awful to read
This is the worst app I have ever used The highlighting and note functions are absolutely abhorrent This app might have been designed to make readingstudying easier but it only makes the experience horrific The text quality is terrible If you have bad eyes dont try to zoom in because it gets really blurry 010 I hate this app     Worst Textbook App Out There
Ive downloaded this app so that I could read my ebook from cengage and they wont let me in such a waist of my time     Worst app ever
This app works well when it works It usually crashes on me at least 15 mins into use on my iPad           Crashing
The text quality is terrible the highlighting feature is not sensitive and you have to move this cursor thing which is equally insensitive you cant write a quick notation bc you need a subject the time doesnt even come up when you tap the screen Try to find books on kindle or other renowned ereaders not this one I just used it bc I couldnt find my textbook on any other ereader but I honestly should have bought the paper copy You can tell from the design that its dated and has some bugs     Worst Ereader
Cant even reset password so I can log in Super frustrating     Frustrating from the first second Cant even log in
First CengageBrain says you get free access to books from them on here Well I never got a redemption code and even after speaking to customer service nothing could be one Second the app would instantly crash every time I tried to search for a book Useless     Doesnt work
Since Im the only one using the IPad I wish the app wasnt asking so often for my password I was unable to download my book the first two tries because of login timeout and I use a secure password manager so I never remember the password not needed to enter it into the computer Even if there was a pin I old setup for quick login it would be better than this        Constant Login Need
Often when I try to search a phrase within the textbook the app will crash This is very frustrating especially when taking a timed test online        Search crashing
Id rate this a zero if I could The app constantly crashes kicks me out saying Im signed in to another device when I have clearly signed out of everything and insanely slow and clumsy regarding the highlight option Id love to be more green but I will no longer rent etextbooks     Shameful
Im assuming all the poor reviews are for an older version what Im looking at is great                 Perfect
Cant even pull up my ebook because it crashes too often     Crashes
Downloaded this app a month and a half ago and it has crashed every single time Ive tried to use it     Is this App ever going to work
The text is extremely fuzzy with watermarks littering the page The app crashes frequently when searching for keywords An ereader is one of the simplest apps CourseSmart needs to rethink their approach     Avoid if possible
This app does even load my book on an iPhone 6 plus It just keeps blinking the loading image over and over and then crashes Thanks so much for this terrible app     DOES NOT WORK
I dont recommend this app        Horrible text quality
Horrible Do not waste your money I am never using CourseSmart again It constantly drops and kicks you off mobile devices It is not even worth one star     Horrible
Crashes half the time I try using the search function Needs an update        Poor execution
I used this app in the past and it was greatI recently returned to school and purchased an Ebook rental and for some reason the app does not have 3g capabilities anymoreError msg reads no internet connectionNow I have to resort to reading off my phones web browser which is a huge pain     Horrible
This company needs to urgently improve the text quality in this app Though the text is always legible it can definitely use a BIG improvement I dont understand why this hasnt been done already FIX THE TEXT QUALITY NOW Im all about etextbooks so Im usually stuck buying from here but I only when I have no other ebook options This is my last resort unless the price is significantly cheaper here     Please improve the text quality
