Server error

Samurai Short

Like so many others, I can not use this app because it refuses to work with my Overdrive account with my local library, I continually get the “Connection Error Detected” message. I’ve tried it on the newest iPad, an iPad Air, and iPhone 6s, with no success. Sadly, Adobe does not seem to care in the least because this obviously affects many users and has been going on for quite awhile.

Too many bugs

Stacybh

The app crashes literally every 30 seconds and doesn’t display the covers of my books (it just shows greyed-out squares). It also doesn’t sort the books in the same order across devices when I try to sort by anything other than title or author, and there is no option to manually sort the books into folders to keep it easier to find things with a big library. This app needs some major updates, because it is unusable in its current form.

Practically unaccessible.

polishhhhhhhhhh

I’m stunned at this app. I figured I would be able to switch back and forth between phone and computer as long as the same Adobe ID was on both — nope. Not at all. From what I can see, there’s no way to connect the two outside of manually connecting my phone and dumping the files in. It’s very obvious that this program is not intended for smart phones or tablets and is only a way to read certain book formats. Definitely not what I thought it was going to be and I will not be keeping it.

Broken integration

Only reason to use this is integration with DRM protected books. Integration with EBSCO is broken, so it just wastes time.

Horrible. Can’t connect to download books to iPad.

This app is horrible. All the other reviewers are right. I had to download it because it was the only app I needed for a workshop. It would never transfer to my iPad. Paid for a book I couldn’t use because of the app. Horrific.

Abysmal 'technology'

Benjamin John Parker

The purpose of consumer technology is to make human lives easier and more efficient. This product does precisely the opposite. By inserting itself clumsily into what were previously smooth workflows, it hampers experience at every turn. Poor user interface, many lags and glitches, impossibly restrictive sharing features. This is several steps backwards from Gutenberg, to wit, I would much prefer bound volumes I could keep at my desk--they would be so much easier to use. This entire product is a dark smirch on Adobe's good name. If I see that a book is available through Adobe Digital Editions, next time I will be wise enough to run the other way.

drawing board app

This is so bad I don’t see how they haven’t just scrapped it and gone back to the drawing board.

Does not work

Sleepyandlazy

I keep getting Connection Error Detected when trying to download eBooks. Many have reported the same issue on the Adobe forums but no response.

It was working great

I was thrilled with is app, then it started showing only the first page of each chapter. I don't know what changed, but I did notice there was an update two weeks ago....about the time I started having difficulties. I really need to see ALL the pages for this app to be helpful.

Won't stop crashing

GeetzRomo01

Excited to start reading a new book. Downloaded the app, got authenticated and now the app crashes after the cover page. Can't get past it. Disappointing.
