The new "interactive" style on my latest ACCA textbook is truly the worst update on any app I've ever experienced. The book won't load a page change without internet connection despite being downloaded on my device. You can select chapters from the menu. It gets confused on page layout and squishes paragraph numbers up or shows them on the wrong side of the page/randomly inserted into the text. It is truly truly abysmal.

The user interface is just awful. Selecting a chapter from a book doesn't minimize the side bar to display the chapter selected, it just loads the chapter behind the side bar, and tapping the page to view it reloads the previous chapter selected. Back arrow? Goes back to the main library selection. The text-to-speech is an easy 7/10 though. It messes up a small handful of things like numbers/years, but for the price (nothing extra) it's fantastic.

I have the resource synched on two mobile devices. Unfortunately some of the information added to one device is not visible/accessible on the other. Additionally, I have yet to learn how to reorder my note cards. A recent experience saw cards being moved out of the required order and no option available to return them to the desired positions, as required.
