Very unresponsive app, not ready for release yet
I was expecting a much better experience.
First I thought that the user experience is very poor, the app doesnt take advantage of the features offered by the iPad, like landscape view, the touch interface. You need to tap on buttons most of the time while browsing.
Second, its unresponsive. Like when you download books to your bookbag, there is no progress bar to give you informations about the download progress. You are not sure if its downloading under the hood. And even after waiting for a while under a high speed wifi network, its seems like nothing is going on.
Sometimes when you open your Favorites, you see nothing. No folders, no book, I mean nothing.
Third, I dont understand the start page. The purpose to have this app installed in your iPad is not to browse for new books, but to have a quick access to your bookshelf. This app doesnt start by displaying your bookshelf. It will download some data to show you new books and stuffs, which might be frustrating when you are using a slow 3G connection.
Its kind of frustrating to use this app now. I will wait for the next version and see. Since its free, give it a try at least and see for yourself.
Im going back to the web version with safari....
