User reviews
I have not had any issues with the app. It displays my textbooks perfectly.
Very great features, I can highlight important sentences, add notes on the side, has flashcards. I recommend!
Now it's good... thank you Elsevier.
Contnuous scroll for epub and pdf books is GREAT
So far it has been exceptional. When needing to quickly reference something while in class it has my notes at the top of my fingers as well as holds your place in the book even after closing without setting up a book mark
The app works fine. Everyone is just whining the comments.
