User Reviews

ReadAnywhere is praised for mobile convenience, offline reading, highlighting, clear text, and a read-aloud option. However, it suffers from widespread reliability and usability issues: frequent login problems, downloads that don’t persist between sessions, a broken search feature, subpar audio playback, and a disorganized Smartbook/annotation experience. The frustration from instability outweighs the perceived benefits, though the core reading features remain valued by some users.

Pros

Convenient for reading textbooks on the go.
Offline download feature for reading without internet.
Highlighting for studying is available.
Text displays cleanly, as the authors intended.
Read-aloud accessibility option adds value for listening.

Cons

Frequent login/sign-out issues and unreliable sign-in.
Offline downloads do not persist; content often needs re-downloading after closing the app.
Search functionality is broken or unreliable after updates.
Audio playback is monotone, often stops when scrolling and has limited controls.
Smartbook UI/organization and annotation features are poor (jumbled lists, no sorting, difficult to delete highlights, limited margins).

College switched from Pearson to this. It’s a real bummer in comparison. The interface is slow, page switching is not smooth. Worst is the images in app are low res, even if you download the content. Haven’t found a way around it without reading via the website, which rather defeats the point. Clicked on several vocabulary words just to see a blank box with a x. Oh, and videos are not imbedded but links that open externally in a browser. Company needs to do better. Feels like I should’ve just bought the physical book.

This app allows you read anywhere but you have to constantly download the chapters. Also the audio playback functionality could use improvements such U.S. allow you to touch the screen, select where you want to start the audio, setting to skip foot notes.
