Reviews

Storage
Dr. B.O

It’s a great and informative app but it seems there is a limit to the amount of books it stores in my library...books I’ve chosen to read later or have finished reading. Is there a way around that?? I also believe an option to highlight findings will enhance the experience.

Priceless education.
jaimearodriguez

Great new App design! Information as always transformative and educational.

Update broke SSO - Now working
DrowsyChicken

SSO with my company has been broken since the 8.x release. It works fine on your website but not through the app. Our IT department worked with you and all is working again.

Unable to sign in using SSO Corp credentials
dmiz1

I receive the following error when trying to sign in using SSO: “The operation couldn’t be completed. Software caused connection abort. Domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain Error code 53.” This happens after entering my pwd and then approving the 2FA using MS Authenticator. Please fix soon!

Huh! Not able to login with SSO
BixShok

Trying to login with SSO, enter password, wait for token to arrive, token arrives, select notification to approve and the app is switched for face recog, abstract errors out (may be due to app switch). There seems to be no way to login

Takes forever to load, search doesn’t search
annadefe

I wish this app worked as well as it used to work. I can’t search, a blank page just gives me the waiting spin. For anything! If I want to see more summaries, spin. If I want to search, soon, and then no results. I would rather have an app I can use than dark mode. Looking forward to this being fixed.
