## Review summary

Revel on iOS shows promise with mobile convenience, a modern UI, and access to courses and the text. However, recurring crashes, unreliable audio playback, portrait/rotation and layout issues, and mobile quiz and highlighting problems hamper usability. Content sometimes loads blank or won’t advance, and syncing and progress tracking are inconsistent. Users consistently note the app is often unusable for reading or testing, despite being easier than the browser in some cases.

### Pros

- Convenience of using Revel on iPad/tablet vs laptop or browser.
- Content and courses accessible after login (courses showing up).
- Modern user interface reported by users.
- Ability to read and listen to audio text within the app.
- Generally more user-friendly than the browser version in at least some reviews.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes during reading, quizzes, or navigation, making the app unreliable.
- Unreliable audio playback (skipping, not playing, or crashing).
- Orientation and layout issues (portrait mode missing or fixed orientation; landscape-only on iPad).
- Quizzes not accessible on mobile and progress syncing/updates failing (stuck percentages).
- Highlighting/annotation problems (pop-ups blocking, highlights disappearing, cross-paragraph highlighting not supported).
