“About a year ago I became homeless and had to withdraw from class leaving me unable to receive financial aid. Being a single mom of two children I couldn’t possibly afford a $200 book, but your book made it possible for me to go back to school without the stress of “how will I afford it.” Thank you! I really hope openstax grows, because you guys are providing a way for me and many others to get a better education so we could better our lives.

I’ve been using Openstax for a while now and I love how many different subjects are available to learn from for free! It’s very easy to navigate through and I really appreciate how there’s so many topics all in one place!

It can truly always be improved, ps gimme free se


Great app, but could be better..
dragonaidafire12345

Just to clarify, I love this app. It’s truly the best app for college students to use when it comes to books and general material. But the only issue i have with it is, I can’t highlight on the mobile version like I can on the computer. It’s easier to use on the iPad, so i just wish I could use the highlight tool on here as well. Aside from that, I really enjoy the app!

If you intend on reading your textbooks on a mobile device/tablet you NEED openstax! As a paperless student this app really helps me stay organized and focused!


So Easy
Sebastian Carson

This app literally makes the entire studying process a walk in the park. The courses are definitely not easy, but the navigation in the app and the way the material is presented was definitely conceived with the student in mind. 5 out of 5 stars.


Openstax is Awesome!

Openstax provides an awesome outlet for students to access Textbooks from wherever they are. Its organized well and being able to select your University and pick exactly which books you need is awesome! This is the future of learning for sure and can help offset the need for expensive textbooks for college students who crave learning


OpenStax is necessity for college students

This app is laid out so that you can find the materials that you are looking for in seconds. The textbook is great and the videos help explain materials that I don’t understand.


Convenience, simplicity, and FREE
Human Stunna

Education for free. What’s better? Can’t think of anything. Quality, credible information that is a touch away from being learned. I like a lot how easy it is to scroll down pages and just read. The organization of the content screams out NO BS and it’s straight to the point. Love it!
