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).

I have to close and open the app multiple times just to open the Smartbook assignment that I want to open

by Mr*****, 2026-07-06

I just accepted the most recent update of the app and it now tells me it can’t find any active textbooks for me anymore. I am a professor and have been using a couple of MH textbooks and was highlighting them and reading the chapters in the app. Now I can no longer do anything and I am concerned all of my highlights, etc are gone! How does this happen in 2026?
