OpenStax + SE Customer Insights

1. also can't share the chapter to a text to speech app.I feel like (for the chemistry books at least) formulas aren't explained very well, and the check your learning doesn't show steps on how to get to the correct answer.

2. if you only want to read your texbook it's fine, but it sucks you can't highlight anything like you can on the site and has no features for a text to speech option so you read the chapter without having to look @ the screen.

3. However, students have voiced a great deal of frustration about, and disappointment in, not having the options to highlight, add notes, and bookmark pages, which has reduced the desire to use the app.Seems great from first impression.

4. Love the app and I'd recommend giving it a shot!I am appreciative of the content and ability to access the material for free by only setting up a free user account.

5. Like I'm laying down at night in a hotel room and not having a mass of white light shining in my eyes.Seeing the amount of resources available for free is a wonderful option.

6. it could be a lot better.Considering students seem to be constantly on an electronic device, I was happy to have found an app that enabled them to access their textbook at any time (and available for both android and iOS).

7. Otherwise great concept, and helpful.I'm really grateful that OpenStax is providing so many good quality textbooks for free, thank you! That is worth 5 stars alone.

8. It is an app which is meant to be renowned because it will help to students to learn better, faster and assimilate easier.The Open Source content is absolutely amazing but the app itself does not remember where you were between relaunches.

9. There are price and subscription tiers to access some content but to get the general basics of the material needed is free.

10. Can't log in; made account on laptop, but when I try to log in on my phone it doesn't recognise my email or account.

11. Why can't I log in? Seems like a huge hassle.The books are well explained, lengthy and it gives you this kind of assurance to rely and depend on it.
