ebrary App Reviews

Login does not work. Keeps saying the password is incorrect but it is the correct one. Useless so far.

The app does not allow me to search online on my iPad. The keypad does not appear and it does not allow me to enter a search term. As is, it is useless promising more than it delivers. Fix it or take it off line.

So useless cannot read since pages are pixelated!! Why dont you support retina display?

This Is the best online app for reading books, bar none!

Excellent app! Cant wait to see future apps coming from the ProQuest family of research tools.

I was so looking forward to ebrary releasing an iPad app that I set a google alert with the terms "ebrary iPad app release" and today I actually got an email google alerting me to this. I was up and running in less than a minute and I can already start reading excellent books from my local library on my iPad. Thank you! What took you so long??!

I agree with the other reviewer: why it took you so long to get this on app store? Other than that, its a great app. thanks.

I have to say, as a reader, this is quite good. For adobe digital editions user, I think this is the best choice, no waiting for the next page, much faster than bluefire, while the icon is not that beautiful, and not attractive for downloarders

Great app, makes it very easy to download and view Ebrary books. My only complaint is that for institutions that use EZProxy to authenticate library patrons, the Facebook login is the only option available for logging in and using this app.

After following the 20 page book of directions requiring signing up for 200 different online services I still cannot get a book to download. I will be talking to my University about abandoning this horrible system.

This app is awful. You cant get logged into via your institutions link. Cant get logged in by linking Facebook account. It is absolutely awful cant even get logged in after reading the atrocious instructions.

The appearance of the several books that I have browsed is horrible: text is fuzzy and graphics are difficult to read. Its like trying to view a bad xerox copy. Also the app cant seem to remember the zoom that I prefer from one page to the next. It irritatingly tries to blow each page up to maximum size just like Adobe Acrobat. Bad again. Moreover, the zoom range is so small that I am unable to make the page small enough to reduce the fuzziness effect. Grade: C-.

I can maybe read a few pages of a book, then I get a "document not available" message and when I try to reload the book it says that it cannot because the book is already in use. I do not have the book opened on any other computer or device yet I still get these messages.

I cant seem to figure out the instructions. They seem to be in a foreign language.

I had no issues downloading or logging into this app. Also had no issues finding the books I need to write a paper that is due in less than a week. When I try to open and read the books however, I get a gray screen that tells me it is loading...and loading...and loading...and loading...and 30 minutes later it is still loading and I am no closer to getting my paper done than I was before. It loads fine on the website on my computer, but the pages are so tiny and it is difficult to read. Why did I ever think ebooks and ereaders could replace actual books? They dont make me wait!

I am having trouble signing in but it works just fine on the website. I would prefer to use the app because I am writing a paper and need some assistance. Guess ill have to go to the library thanks! Not!

Only works on campus. Even with proxies set up, even though authenticated through the participating institution, even though logged in online in ebrary, the ipad app will not sign in. Very, very frustrating. I am not sure why libraries are using this e-reader.

Was able to find titles and download some books. Downloading large files (the one I tried is 200mb) makes the app crash. Tried 5 times, crashed 5 times. Please add functions like bookshelf, highlights and annotations, otherwise IMHO the app is not really useful.

This is a great app for reading - Its much easier to use than the browser-based quick view reader. A very nice plus is that its authenticated the app on my device so I dont have to sign into my schools VPN to use it every time. However, Im very surprised that there is no option for highlighting or annotating. This is especially important as the amount that can be copied from a text is restricted; I really need to be able to mark passages to return to!

This would be better with a bookmark, highlighting, notes, and staying on the same zoom from page to page. Please can this be fixed in the 21st century? I need this to work better.
