Cengage Read

I would give this zero stars if I could, as the app doesn't even work. I wanted to use this so I didn't have to pull my laptop out for math homework, but I can't even enter my email address to log in. When you tap on the field to enter your login info, it doesn't pull up the keyboard. I've tried requesting the desktop site, mobile site, and even opening the link in my browser, but nothing has worked. Extremely disappointing coming from a company in education, especially when this should be a simple task.

The app won’t do anything. It is completely frozen. Doesn’t matter if I reinstall the app or reboot my iPad… no response whatsoever.

Get this app

I prefer to use the ebook because of its convenience. However, this app is terrible. After 4 years of using the Cengage ebook, I have never enjoyed any moment of reading, especially after each update. The app no longer offers a “lookup” feature (dictionary). The searching feature also useless. Moreover, you can highlight everything you want on the app, and it will not carry over to when you read it online through Cengage’s website. So, what is the point of highlighting then? Fortunately, i don't have to pay a ridiculous amount for something useless like this after this semester

The app will close out during use and then you’ll have to reopen it. It’ll do this 3 times in succession randomly while reading or trying to highlight/put notes. I could deal with that but my biggest gripe is that what you do on the app does carry over to the website version. So if you read and highlight a book on the app then save to synchronize everything and open up the Cengage website the book will pick up where you left off for the last page you were on in the app BUT none of the pages you read and highlighted in the app will show as been having highlighted on the website. It’s very inconvenient because sometimes I carry my iPad with me to read my textbooks and then when I am home I use my computer to complete assignments but I can’t do that when none of the stuff appears on the website as having been read and marked up.

So many negative reviews made me upset that this app may not be a reliable source to use my Cengage A&P course, but after a quick download and use I can say it works properly -AS A BOOK- from going back and forth to exiting out of my book. It would be awesome to continue my progress on my course through the app and allow me to complete activities that would be amazing. Other than that one recommendation I believe the app fulfills its purpose as a book.

It used to at least let me read the textbook for my classes but now that’s gone. So the one thing the app did it no longer does and I just have to use the website. Just remove the app

This app stinks. There's no way around that.

New User, and I’m a student at Universal Technical Institute.. I can’t find my books on this app. I’m guessing there’s supposed to be a way to add your books into the app? Please fix this issue. It would be nice if the books would automatically populate on the app as it does on the website and user reader friendly

This app is horrible, difficult to use, does not work well on iPad. Can’t see the table of contents for my book. I did not have to use this app for my last two classes and now that I need to sign n it won’t let me and it won’t reset me password. This is not fair to us students who have no choice but to use this app for school. It’s ridiculous!
