Until this week the app was satisfactory. It did shrink the text when first opening a book or rotating the screen and made code images small, but I could work around those problems. The content is great and I love having it with me wherever I go. This week problems showed up that made the app unusable. I'm giving 3 stars based on past experience, trusting that it will be fixed soon. The text sizes now range from large to ridiculously huge, and the words don't wrap at the edge of the screen. I can drag the page left to look at some of the rest, but not all. As soon as I lift my finger, it jumps to the next page. There is no way to read even one full line. I am running Android 6.0 on an LG G4 phone. [Edit:] All Safari users are being migrated to the new O'Reilly Safari. The new app should be much better.

Pointless! This app makes it impossible to read any book as it doesn't wrap sentences to fit the screen. Even if you attempt to scroll to read a line it will change to the next page if you go to far. I could obviously upgrade to the new platform and pay 3x as much for the same content, but why should I after being a local customer for nearly 10 years. Time to cancel

Tried to read two different technical books with this app. The book page doesn't fit the screen, attempting to scroll makes pages fly by. Tried adjusting the font size to as small as I could read and half the page still ran off the screen with no remedy. I think there is no app for traditional safari online subscribers. Uninstalled. I'll try going back to the browser portal for my phone.

Completely unusable. I've been a Safari bookshelf user for more than 10 years and this app was great in the past. It would allow you to read your books on your bookshelf. Now, the content is completely unreadable as it flows off the right side of the "page" and you cannot see over half of the page you are reading.

Chr. M. Jan 4, 2019     

This app seems unusable on moble. Books didnt scale correctly. One would have to scroll back and forth left to right to read a page all without going to far either way, which turna the page. litterally the worst way to try to read a document. its ironic that this is made by orilly, you would think that one of thier many authors would be able to produce a much better app in an afternoon.

Err. F. Oct 8, 2019     

Completely unusable. I cannot read anything on this as the text extends past the right side of the screen, and when i try to scroll horizontally to continue reading, the app flips to the next page no matter how slow i go. There are no view settings to change.

Jav. Dec 20, 2018     

the content may very well be amazing, but the interface to read the actual work is atrocious. Having to scroll to read an entire sentence only to have the page changed is more than frustrating. i wasn't able to get through one page on my cell phone before i stopped in frustration.

Alf. E. Aug 10, 2019     

Application has become totally unusable. Book pages are displayed incorrectly. They not longer fit the screen horizontally, need to scroll laterally but then it jumps to next page. Impossible to read a book page. Problem reported to app provider ages ago. No fix so far.

Kym. J. Jan 9, 2019     

I shouldn't have to scroll left and right to read. I'm stuck with this as my college chose this system for their ebooks. If you have a choice don't use it. You're better off using Kindle or Nook. Resizing your text is easy and works on just about any device.

A. G. u. Jan 9, 2019     

Great selection, navigation is easy, but the pages do not fit to my mobile screen (Galaxy S9 plus). I need to scroll left and right just to read the entire page. In doing so the app automatically switches pages. please fix.

San. K. Dec 30, 2018     

This app is seriously outdated, in need of immediate enhancements, for example the pages of the books do not fit to the screen size. The browser version of the site works a lot better, more responsive in nature.

Ben. S. Apr 2, 2019     

Just doesnt work, unfortunately, because safari books is a fantastic service. The problem : the content is too wide for the screen but if you try to scroll left or right you turn the page (I have android 8.0.0 and sony xperia xa2).

Jen. M. Mar 4, 2019     

Strange that this app requires access to phone ID, call information, photos/media/files. Above my risk tolerance with too much access required for me to install. Interesting that the new O'Reilly app in association with Safari doesn't require phone access quite like this one.

Jon. P. Dec 15, 2018     

The books never get proper fit in the screen. Always been off and there are no option to adjust it. Lots of bugs that they take an eternity to fix. Not recommended.

A. G. u. Nov 4, 2018     

Wow, from bad to worse. For a pay service providing information access this is as bad as it gets. App is switching resolution on rotation, makes text unreadable, lacks customization, rigid. Now login issues. Bad, bad, bad.

Ali. S. Dec 19, 2018     

I like this app for my personal account. I have Safari Queue from my employer also. However, lately the "Safari To Go' is flakey and keeps changing the font size preference and doesn't display reverse video properly (white on black.) I don't know if I can change my private subscription to the latest platform due to its cost. :-(

Nic. M. Feb 6, 2019     

This is now broken and more or less useless. The text extends past the edge of the screen and when you scroll over to see the text the page turns so you can't really read anything.

And. M. Mar 5, 2019     

Very buggy application on Android. I don't understand how so simple app can be made with so many bugs. At this point I simply cannot use it. Some bugs seat in the app for many years.

Bar. C. Dec 16, 2018     

This is a very bad app you can't format the text appropriately and though I can scroll the page when I get to the right side of a line it flipped the page. Unusable.

S. G. Feb 18, 2019     

its terrible for reading. its automatically too zoomed in and I cannot zoom out. plus when I move to the side it flips to the next page without being able to read along.

Jax. Jun 4, 2019     

all the books I try to read are not fitted for the phone. they are full scale, they dont have all the words and when I try to adjust it turns the page fo I am getting just the middle section of the book.

adi. m. Apr 3, 2019     

theres a huge issue with the font and pages. you can not read page by page without it clipping between pages. They need to fix the app so it can convert the pages better to fit the screen

Tho. A. Mar 23, 2019     

Doesn't work well with latest Android version. After subscribing for many years, just no longer worth the cost of putting up with a junk mobile app. You are not getting my renewal.

Aus. G. Aug 6, 2019     

Look i need this app to work can you olease address the issues with pages not fitting in screen? it cuts off the words and if you try to scroll to read it itll jump ahead a few pages.

Rod. W. Mar 12, 2019     

For the last two months, I can't read any books on my Galaxy Note 5, as the page gets cut-off. I've put in a ticket, and they still haven't addressed the issue. If they fix, I will put back to a five, but right now it's garbage.

Rok. Aug 16, 2019     

Book formatting is terrible and unreadable. I contacted O'Reilly support (the owner of Safari) and the rep said he's not aware of any plans to update the app. I'm starting an online degree and this app was recommended for reading books on mobile, what an incredible disappointment...

Jus. B. Jan 17, 2019     

horrible rendering. font is constantly changing size and rarely adjusts line breaks to fit on my screen. pretty annoying and surprising to have such obvious issues

lal. f. Apr 17, 2019     

This app needs to be fixed. The pages are too big to read. You can't shrink the pages either. I will delete this app until this issue is fixed.

Noo. A. H. Jul 6, 2020     

Terrible! Unacceptable reading the reviews reveal this problem has been there for ages but still no fix. I have been Safari subscriber for near a decade, mainly using it on my iPhone, which work fine. Sad, make me wonder the state of safari business and if I should continue to subscribe. Any substitute product?

A. G. u. Mar 12, 2019     

it used to display well. now i cannot read book using my android tablet. it is 8inch pad. the page layout is totally messed up. can some one fix the bug?
