1. 2/5Login issues

   I can access Macmillan perfectly fine on my computer and my professor told us we can use the app to study on the go if we want. However I am unable to login and when I send a reset password email, the email that I get says my account doesn’t exist. I don’t understand how I can access it on my computer but not my phone. I’ve also tried creating an account on my phone but it says my account already exists?? I’ve contacted support and they haven’t been able to help me whatsoever. Very disappointed.

2. 1/5Dont

   I got this app thinking it’d be convenient access for the ~$60 ebook I purchased. Little did I know just how frustrated I’d become with this thing… 1. The log-in is basically impossible. You create an account on the website, buy the book, then when you get the app and try to login it tells you your account doesn’t exist. Website works fine. What? 2. If you try to access the book on an app like Safari you get pulled into an inescapable loop of sites that does not let you access your book. By far the most frustrating experience personally. Also, sometimes on the actual website, through a laptop/computer, it can still be difficult to get to your book. It is a massive disservice to students who just want to *use* the book they paid for! Keep your money and look elsewhere, because judging by the other reviews they’re not going to improve nor help.

3. 1/5Would not recommend.

   It is difficult to create an account on the app even if your account works online. You will waste plenty of time flipping through webpages to create a second account for your account to even use the app. Beyond the app, the website is problematic and completely unreliable on iPhone. The menu glitches constantly and will not give access to the table of contents to access the required reading for assignments. Adaptive quizzes also do not work often on the website on iPhone. Customer service will send you in loops if you do not have screenshots of everything, and you can’t take screenshots of a menu that is glitching open and closed, so they pretty much won’t help with some things. I have had 1/4 issues resolved and some not even addresses. In summary: This should not be your only source for a textbook unless you are planning on using your laptop consistently and not your phone. The website is more reliable than the app, and it still has consistent issues that aren’t being resolved. Customer service is hard to communicate with unless you have plenty of time and screenshots of everything.

4. 2/5Frustrating User Experience

   Similar to what others have said (3+ years on and they still haven’t fixed it), an e-textbook is interactive with highlighted words that have definitions when you click on them, etc. Half the time when you tap on a word for a definition, the app jumps you forward multiple pages. Same with trying to close the definition. Same with trying to scroll to the next page, etc. Give how much Macmillan is charging us just to rent their e-textbooks, it’s despicable that they won’t hire the right engineers to create a well-built, easy to use app.

5. 3/5LOG IN FIXED MUST READ

   I’ve never wrote a review for an app yet but I just needed to share this for my fellow Macmillan users, from my experience on this site everyone including myself had troubles logging in. I’ve tried my tablet, iPhone, and iPad. It all seem not to work. I even tried contacting my school. It turns out that you need to verify your account sent to your email. It’s misleading that the Macmillan keeps saying that stating that the log in is incorrect and that they ask for a link. So now I advise you all to go to your email for a link, it will say you need to make a new password and ask you to make a security question along with an answer to fully let you have access to your ebook. Overall this whole journey was hectic and misleading. It would’ve never happened if they said we needed to verify our account instead of stating our logins are wrong and we needed a link. The app overall is pretty good. It lets has highlight, bookmark, voice memo, search bar and even has book number pages. Unlike the Cengage that was a quick login with no problems, the only pro about it over the Cengage is that Macmillan has page numbers in which I have so much struggling dealing with over at Cengage.
