AHA eBook Reader Reviews

Easily the worst reading app I've used

Neal O.

This app uses a strange method of pagination. Each section/chapter of the book is a single long page, which you scroll up and down through. When you get to the end of a section, it jumps you to the beginning of the next section -- even if your finger is still on the page because you're reading what's left of the previous section. Since these books are not available in electronic versions elsewhere, or in formats like DRM'ed PDF, users are stuck with this terrible interface. Please allow for standard pagination in the next version of this app.

Fix it

This app is horrible! Don't get it. I don't know what causes it but I'll be in the middle of a chapter then it'll suddenly take me back to the beginning of the book or completely log out of the app!

Waste of time app-Lemons anyone?

I just downloaded this app and it doesn't recognize mu credentials! I can log in easy via a pc/laptop. This app is paved with, just that, good intentions. I will not recommend it to anyone. I rated this a one star because it won't let me give it a zero star rating.

Primitive

Reader app for iMac is clunky and couldn’t access iPad app at all. In an apparent effort to maximize profit from a service which is important for the public health, the Heart Association has made its information less accessible. There is no direct customer service (you can only leave a voice mail) so when things don’t work…you are stuck. In short, attempting to use this app will induce a heart attack.

Terrible User Interface

As others have said, hands down a terrible reader. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, this is the only choice of reader if you want AHA books on an iOS device. But really, they need to through this reader in the garbage bin and write/buy one that actually is useable.

Can you say CRAP?

log in with your AHA credentials. Not a problem. Oh that's right it does not recognize my AHA credentials. Contacted AHA no help. So the money spent on ebooks is wasted. I will have to purchase the paper version in essence paying double Let's give it a -20 stars.

What a way to complicate things...

One click on any part of the page and the app loads the same section and when you go back it loses time on loading the same part you were reading. Also highlighting/unhighlighting must improve. Waste of time, should have bought hard copy of the book.

Flips pages when trying to highlight...

I am using it for ACLS Instructor manual. When trying to highlight, it flips pages. When trying to swipe up and down to navigate, it opens chapters in another page. When trying to find a specific checklist, I cannot browse through pages or contents with a glance...I need to scroll manually through all section content. Gave it two stars because I was able to place bookmarks and (frustratingly) get some content highlighted, and this made it usable for navigation. Still a better option for me than carrying a weighty book.

Such a waste!

Students & instructors be warned!!! With so many great e-readers available, AHA has dropped the ball on this proprietary app. As an instructor I was hoping this would would be useful, but it couldn't be further from the truth. No page numbers to index with students using a textbooks! Highlighting and notation is an absolute joke! View sizing is worthless! Pages just scroll together making checklists & lesson maps run together! One star is being too generous! So much for going paperless, guess it's back to textbooks!

Great once you get your book

Had trouble finding the 2015 ACLS Provider Manual. It would not show up on the bookshelf in the bookshelf view. Spent almost an hour with tech support. Before I just happened I to switch to it mode and there it was. Still can't see it in the in-app bookstore, hence I purchased it using a regular web browser.
