User Reviews

Reviews consistently condemn ADE for iOS as unstable and hard to use. Recurrent issues include crashes, unreadable or incomplete pages, lack of font controls, login/DRM headaches, and poor maintenance. Users report that DRM/protected books and library imports fail, and the app feels outdated and poorly QA'd, making it unusable for most readers.

Pros

No clear pros mentioned across multiple reviews.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes; the app is unstable and unreadable.
Unreadable rendering: pages load incompletely, text is blurry or missing, and there is no font size control or proper text rendering.
Cumbersome authentication/DRM: Adobe ID sign-in problems, difficulty switching accounts, and issues importing DRM-protected books (ACSM).
Lack of updates and maintenance: appears outdated, poorly QA'd, and not optimized for iOS.
Difficulty importing/opening DRM content and library integration; reports of purchased books not being accessible.

I love to have my time wasted my companies. I am so glad that I spent all this time finding a book at the library that I can’t read because it’s in this proprietary format that only opens on an app…that won’t open it.

Awful. Bad beyond imagination. Worst app ever, worst thing ever. Never buy a book that you must use through this app. You will not have access to that book.
