User Reviews

Yuzu eReader is praised for its tablet-friendly use, cross-device notes, and a clean, organized interface. However, user reviews cluster around core issues: unreliable login and account access; weak highlighting/annotation features with no Apple Pencil support; poor read-aloud accessibility; inability to download/export PDFs or print; and overall slow performance. Users seek a more reliable login flow, richer markup and accessibility, export options, and faster performance while preserving the portable, organized reading experience.

Pros

Tablet-friendly and convenient for on-the-go reading.
Notes taken on iPad can be found/accessed on a computer (cross-device notes).
Well-organized, clean UI and easy-to-understand format.

Cons

Frequent login/authentication issues (session timeouts, Okta/QR login problems, account access).
Poor highlighting/annotation capabilities (limited markup, no Apple Pencil support, margin display issues, bugs).
Subpar read-aloud accessibility (robotic voices, limited voice options, screen-reader problems).
Inability to download PDFs or export notes/printing restrictions.
Slow performance and lag during use (loading and scrolling).

Just a waste of time. Won't allow me to access what's in my library and sends me on corcles.

I would probably rank this as a 2.5 if I could. It’s a perfectly serviceable app but not widely enough used to apply to more than a single class in my course schedule. That’s not entirely Yuzu’s fault, just an annoyance. It’s nice to make notes on my iPad and be able to find them from my computer as I work on papers. I would appreciate if I could access my materials more easily without being kicked out of my login. Credentials don’t work to log back in to the same window and I end up having to close mid-read and re-open the textbook through the LMS all over again. This is probably due to Okta integration, is my guess? This is difficult when I am in a particularly involved study session or I’m in the process of writing a paper. So just be warned that this may be an issue.

The highlighting feature is absolutely terrible for an app designed for iPad. You cannot use your Apple Pencil to write notes in the margins. You can’t even highlight with native features, you have to use iOS’s highlight function, and then select the option to highlight from the menu that appears. This completely removes any advantage offered by hosting an app on iPad as opposed to desktop.
