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 Users report that DRM/protected books and library imports fail, and the app feels outdated and poorly QA'd, making it unusable for most readers.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Lack of updates and maintenance: appears outdated, poorly QA'd, and not optimized for iOS.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 bought this book from NASW and they told me I had to download adobe digital editions to access this book. I couldn’t even access this app on my laptop so I downloaded it on my iPad. I can’t log into my adobe account at all and I know it’s the apps fault because I changed the password myself and I’m literally looking at my account settings as I’m typing in my username and password but yet it still wasn’t working. I’m also giving NASW press a bad review because their customer service was awful. They should have just sent me a regular pdf like normal companies would. I got a refund on the ebook but this just agitates me cause now I’m going to have to order the book and recieve it late for my class 💀

I bought the pdf of a textbook and was forced to download it thru this app. Big waste of $$$. These companies do a disservice to students and education when we are forced to use these terrible apps. But I suppose it doesn’t matter to them as long as the corporations keep making millions in profits off the backs of hard-working students. I was forced to use this app for my textbook but if you have a choice, choose anything else!!! You’ll save yourself a lot of frustration and disappointment
