This app fails visually when shown images it’s not easy to follow along .. also sometimes it ready text in the page that are not needed to be read like copy write numbers and also page numbers like the one on the corner of images .. also it’s really hard to read on phone so i use mirroring from my phone to tv and on some books like for math it’s zoomed out and text can not be made bigger or smaller you have to zoom in but than it zoomed out automatically after each sentence.. my biggest issue is that the audio voices are also not that good I mean the selection of voices is bad to worse than to terrible .. it’s already hard to listen to a robotic monotone voice but you have darth vader as a option like why !!! I mean just a simple voice that sounds more human would be great also there are a lot of pronunciation issues .. and in general the app isn’t bad but it has issue small issues that make it bad .. my choice for replying is because I like using this app but it’s hard sometimes because the complications and small issues get to be time consuming and somewhat annoying to have to do (turning pages ) and sometimes not being able to skip the copyright information is weird also the extra i information like legal property rights .. and text sizing for math books and images .. many more improvements also but it’s not a bad app just has a lot of small issues

The app will close out during use and then you’ll have to reopen it. It’ll do this 3 times in succession randomly while reading or trying to highlight/put notes. I could deal with that but my biggest gripe is that what you do on the app does carry over to the website version. So if you read and highlight a book on the app then save to synchronize everything and open up the Cengage website the book will pick up where you left off for the last page you were on in the app BUT none of the pages you read and highlighted in the app will show as been having highlighted on the website. It’s very inconvenient because sometimes I carry my iPad with me to read my textbooks and then when I am home I use my computer to complete assignments but I can’t do that when none of the stuff appears on the website as having been read and marked up.

I never have any interest in writing reviews for an app, but because this app is absolutely horrendous AND I’m required to use it everyday for school… I figured this was a worthy effort. There aren’t any instructions on the fact that you have to add your textbook to your library even if you purchased it. It zooms in and out on the text for absolutely no reason at all, and most times it will cut off half the text and won’t adjust appropriately even when you try to zoom out to reset the view. Highlighting is horrendous because it wants to glitch out and highlight whatever random text it wants. The view of the textbook is quite unprofessional in my opinion. It’s like they put it in the app without even thinking about how it would look to people reading it. You can’t even read most tables that they insert in the text. It’s an absolute joy to deal with this. In this day and age, I have no clue why two of my professors would choose this option. And yes, MindTap was required for me so I had to get the digital version and the unlimited subscription is much cheaper than buying physical textbooks and the addition software. Please, for the love of learning, don’t make me hate my class because this app and website are absolutely archaic.
