Is it just me or does this program suck? I spent 20 minutes trying to get the program open, and I cant download the texts because my work computer doesnt allow me to install their program. Who uses desktop applications anymore? Why dont they just email the PDFs?
Now I just tried the iphone app and it is even worse. It has to download the entire book each time you want to open it up. Man, I would have been better off killing a tree or two to get the printed version, and then causing permanent damage to my back by lugging those monesters around all the time.
CFAI : Technology = Joe Morgan : SABRmetrics
I demanded a refund and got it. The product is not ready for market.
A refund from who?
Im using it with no problems so far…but its a secondary source of reference for me…using schweser notes & videos.
I found it fairly easy to use online. Haven’t tried downloading it yet.
i have been using the Vital Source iPad app, seems to work pretty well…

I suppose that is my only option. I was hoping to be able to review from my iphone on flights and subway rides (no computer or internet access), but Ill just have to read directly at my computer.
I found the vitalsource Ipad app to be great … I use it as the primary source of my studies … and its much better than reading from those heavy CFAI volumes. Downloading is just one time issue, and works pretty fast for wifi.
On the iphone I have not been able to download. After several tries (on wifi) it keeps crashing. But you are saying I only have to do it once and then it is on the phone without internet and without downloading again? If thats the case Ill keep trying.
Yep, you just have to download it once.
It works okay for me. But it is a resource hog, and their print function takes a very long to process. I only print what I need to read on the subway, so I don’t have to carry the whole book.
