2023-09-02 | I have reinstalled the updated version and the documents that used to work, are no longer opening. The android is telling me the app has bugs. | ||
2022-10-05 | Having the same issue others have reported. After opening a file, app then crashes a few seconds later. Says the Safeguard Viewer closed because this app has a bug. I've tried it with multiple PDC files and each one crashes the app. Says I need to update the app after the developer fixes it. I've tried re-registering the key, removing keystore, and uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. | ||
2022-09-02 | Needed a pdc viewer for a book protected with a license. Loads the book up for about 2 seconds then backs out to the main screen. After the second or 3 attempt my phone gets a pop up saying theres a bug with the app. Please update and fix this cuz i dont see another alternative app to use | ||
2022-05-10 | I had to use this of a "pdc " or something like that file of a protected ebook. Dowloading the content and opening a license is fine. BUT READING IT on this app. Is a nightmare. Jumpy touch interface. Very limited options. Weird pop ups from up and downs. Makes it really hard. Sorry two stars. | ||
2022-02-25 | I oppose copyright laws for items over 45 years ago, magazines and newspapers, media etc. I like the open source concept. All cr does is stifle knowledge and innovation in my opinion. I find this app a barrier in that regard. Mass media is a greedy business, yes I get that publishers want to protect work. In that case get rid of libraries, books etc and don't allow the public access to materials. This whole industry assumes that 99.9999 % of individuals on the planet are pirating materials. | ||
2021-07-17 | since last update i cant open my files. I get message: Register Error No more licences are available for you to register. Please contact you publisher for additional licences... but i dont need new licence, I have purchased one and it is not working. | ||
2021-05-26 | I would rate it less than 1 star if it was possible. Every document can only be opened once, then the app needs to be uninstalled and installed again. Please see other peoples reviews, it is a shame that this can be in the app store and that CIPS use it as a mandatory app for their books.... | ||
2021-01-03 | Crashes on Huawei android Pro20 on the update to date. Have to uninstall, re-install, activate the licence again and import books each time when leaving the screen, closing the app or minimizing the app. CIPS is recommending this app platform for there ebooks but it is frustrating my studies. Very unhappy and this is poor performance on the developers as I note from the reviews that the android phones have been experiencing this problem for a long time now and still it is not working. | ||
2020-11-24 | This app is the only one available to view PDC's I wish there were others. It appears to randomly choose which files to upload from and I can not change this. Uninstalling the app is not an option as I have 1 gb of stuff already on it. Ugh | ||
2020-11-08 | I have been struggling to open a file downloaded onto this app. Error Message "Checking message". Now I have to uninstall and download the app multiple times as I need the book to study 😡 |
