Doesn’t work on smaller iPhones
ILuvTrevorFeget
I have the iPhone 5s and once you download the app there is a swipe menu advertising the activities on the app. The app doesn’t allow you to click okay to close the pop up due to the reduced size of the screen.
Book doesn’t open. Can’t view material.

When I download the e-book and try to open the book, it goes to a blank white page and makes the app useless. Once I relaunch the app, I have to once again downloaded the e-book ONLY to have the same problem happen again. All this app achieves therefore is wasting data by downloading a book over and over again only to never access the actual content within the book. Update: No one has gotten back to me on this issue, nor have they tried to fix the application to counteract this problem. For a company that takes so much money from students and schools, they seem to be unable to hire competent programmers.
Shockingly Bad iOS e-reader

Unless you have multiple laptops or dual screens don’t bother. No good in iPhone or iPad. As if going for my online MBA wasn’t challenging enough as a full time working stiff, MindTap’s jacked up iOS display issues is going to make it that much more difficult for me. Oh and the text to speech robo-reader is circa 1988 as well. Come on guys.
Mobile Quiz Support?

There is STILL not a mobile quiz support feature. MindTap is still the most inconvenient e-learning tool I’ve ever had to use.
Helpful app

I'm able to bring my iPad to class and follow along if that's all I want to do. I must open safari in order to log in as you would on a laptop in order to watch videos and work the assignments. Which is fine. I do appreciates the way the book explains the topic, gives examples and then has students attempt it.
You can’t actually do activities

Any of the activities assigned by the instructor cannot be completed on this app. If you try to do them, it will say “this activity is not yet supported on this app”. The only thing this app is good for is having mobile access to the textbook, which is not the primary reason I personally installed this. I would have liked to have been able to complete activities on the go while I had downtime, if you need to simply access the textbook and pretty much nothing else this app is for you.
Does not work. Slow and hangs after login.

I’m a student and a have an active course at WGU. I logged into Cengage MindTap online and it worked on my MacBook just fine. I wanted to view the course on this app while on the go but after logging in with my student account, the app indicates I have no active courses enrolled!! Don’t waste your time installing it.
