I love that I can access the content I need and love the reading format, but I do wish I could have a way to have a full page look at the text book pages

It looks fancy and has a lot of hyperlinks to click and take you here and there but The only gripe I have currently is that I have created my account about 10 minutes ago online, on my laptop, I downloaded the app, and I can't see my textbook.

Update: the app now reads the book to you when you have a language installed (phone settings).

The app is easy to navigate and use. Reading is easy. Unfortunately the highlight feature on mobile devices leave room to be desired, in the way of changing color of already highlight text, choosing a color, or removing the highlight in general. The app does work seamlessly across devices you are logged in at (I have android phone, iPad, and a Windows computer and can access all of my notes and highlighted material). You can also easily pickup on the same page you left off on.

Borderline useless because the controls at the bottom render behind the navigation bar of my phone, so I can't access the table of contents or use the read aloud feature, which is the whole reason I downloaded this app in the first place.

Worst e-book app ever. It feels like this app was coded by interns using AI vibe coding. Why is each book section require you to scroll down and hide text behind the android navigation buttons? Then you have to page right and left to jump forward or back a section, so then you'd have to scroll up and down to read the text. Then there isn't any easy way to jump to specific chapters. All the app controls are also hidden behind the android navigation, so they won't function. Total garbage

Displays textbooks I haven't purchased and doesn't display the ones I have registered to my account. Thanks for the free textbook Cengage! Now I have access to a whole chemistry textbook worth $100+ because of your app issues.
