AHA eBook Reader App Reviews

Needs MUCH Improvement

Hard to maneuver. Bad page layout. Any change in orientation takes you to the beginning of the chapter. Changing pages may clip top of page off with the app header. At this time a total waste of $$. Should have gotten hard copy instead

Frustrating

Needs work...highlight feature is difficult to initiate without accidentally going to "full screen". Any change in orientation of your device manipulates the page to cut certain portions of the script. Different actions take you to the beginning of the chapter for no reason. Buy the book!!

Doesnt work

Just say logging in, then says network connection lost. Already purchased the non-refundable ebook before I realized this... Pretty bad investment, want my $12 back.

App does not work at all!

Do not waste your money on any ebooks from Aha. Their eBook app does not work. You cant get signed in, so even after you buy their eBook on line it does no good because their app will not allow you to sign in to get your book, their tech support is an email address that doesnt respond so you are out of luck if you want to get their eBook. They offer nothing for visually impaired customers. Just a waste of time and money. Do not get this app!

Easily the worst reading app Ive used

This app uses a strange method of pagination. Each section/chapter of the book is a single long page, which you scroll up and down through. When you get to the end of a section, it jumps you to the beginning of the next section -- even if your finger is still on the page because youre reading whats left of the previous section. Since these books are not available in electronic versions elsewhere, or in formats like DRMed PDF, users are stuck with this terrible interface. Please allow for standard pagination in the next version of this app.

Fix it

This app is horrible! Dont get it. I dont know what causes it but Ill be in the middle of a chapter then itll suddenly take me back to the beginning of the book or completely log out of the app!

Waste of time app-Lemons anyone?

I just downloaded this app and it doesnt recognize mu credentials! I can log in easy via a pc/laptop. This app is paved with, just that, good intentions. I will not recommend it to anyone. I rated this a one star because it wont let me give it a zero star rating.

Primitive

Reader app for iMac is clunky and couldn’t access iPad app at all. In an apparent effort to maximize profit from a service which is important for the public health, the Heart Association has made its information less accessible. There is no direct customer service (you can only leave a voice mail) so when things don’t work…you are stuck. In short, attempting to use this app will induce a heart attack.

Terrible User Interface

As others have said, hands down a terrible reader. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, this is the only choice of reader if you want AHA books on an iOS device. But really, they need to through this reader in the garbage bin and write/buy one that actually is useable.

Can you say CRAP?

log in with your AHA credentials. Not a problem. Oh thats right it does not recognize my AHA credentials. Contacted AHA no help. So the money spent on ebooks is wasted. I will have to purchase the paper version in essence paying double Lets give it a -20 stars.

What a way to complicate things...

One click on any part of the page and the app loads the same section and when you go back it loses time on loading the same part you were reading. Also highlighting/unhighlighting must improve. Waste of time, should have bought hard copy of the book.

Flips pages when trying to highlight...

I am using it for ACLS Instructor manual. When trying to highlight, it flips pages. When trying to swipe up and down to navigate, it opens chapters in another page. When trying to find a specific checklist, I cannot browse through pages or contents with a glance...I need to scroll manually through all section content. Gave it two stars because I was able to place bookmarks and (frustratingly) get some content highlighted, and this made it usable for navigation. Still a better option for me than carrying a weighty book.
