Better not to create this useless app. It's not a library! It's a platform for those who want to showcase their research works!! The app must contain books that contain study and learning materials right from the secondary stage of education. Text books, Guide books, Reference books, Magazines etc. must be included into the App. Moreover, the UI is below average. A customisable UI should be presented. Please, developers get these flaws fixed in the future updates.
Good Application but needs some things to be improved please add new widgets on the home screen plus arrange all the materials according to different references. As if I search for something than many results are shown and with it I get confused a bit which I was searching for. Fix it. Other all things were good including the support material. 👍🏻👍🏻Keep updating it will definitely reach many students.
App not even opening Always shows like server issue. Nothing is shown other than front page with loading symbol. Better not to give apps like this,if your intention is to provide real content provide it based on the demand. In my opinion it is worst,app processing.
so it won't go past the 'loading' screen. occasionally the app asks me to 'check my internet'. my net works fine. I thinks there's an internal issue with the app. have a look please. the concept of this app is really good. although I can't really rate it because I haven't used it
Just naming it a library is not helpful for us, pls provide materials accordingly. To download books, we are directed to other websites, we could have done that on our own, why to download an app instead, those books should be available here itself, hence to be called a library. The interface is too slow and irritating. Pls update(last updated in 2021, nowadays apps get updated every month) it as the original website is, the website has reach content but the same contents are not visible on app.
Nothing loads, the app keeps crashing, doesn't utilise available internet connections so there's a constant connection timeout error. In short, the app is not at all usable. Developer needs to make serious improvements so that people can actually use it.
I waste my time only on finding the subjects. Instead of going there, I think I should search that content on YouTube or Google. This is completely time wasting. The matter, first, needs to download and then you can open it. It looks like that : first you invest and then you check whether you invest rightly or wrongly. It requires too much preparation and improvements before launching.
My dear devloper you have developed such a nice app undoubtedly but there is a problem I am not able to read the books on it I can watch the videos but not able to read books when I try to download them it always show server is busy and busy always I could have gave it 5 stars but the main feature is not working so that I can't please of there is any problem in your system please fix it or if I had any mistakes you can reply me otherwise a great app cheers it can change many lives keep doing .
First, its slow. Then, Too monotonous & non-interactive. Interface should be more appealing. Also, content is ambiguous. It should be more organized with appropriate thumbnails. Needs lot of work.
Though it is a good app it requires a lot of development. Like some books are not opening in the app. You have to go to browser by the redirect link they provide when you click on a book and download. Also the servers are very slow even I have a 500kbps-1mb connection.
Totally useless app. Search results don't even match by far. For example, even if you search for pretty basic and popular books, it reports thousand of results but not the correct one. Worthless.
It's not useful. Every time can't download any books and not even provide the information boos for which we trying to access. I request everyone don't waste time in such app's. Purchase the book instead of Digital library. I think no one from developer is checking the performance of app's.
App is full of awesome contents.But i deducted 2 stars due to following reasons- 1.Some of the content is incomplete i.e.all volumes are not available.Please update regularly. 2.Make sure that the link of the given content is working.Some of the link is not working properly.Fix the problem kindly. 3.Sometimes the app suddenly crashes when trying to open a content. 4.In some contents the author name,number of page,size,and the title is not mentioned properly. 5.App speed is a little bit slow.
Content is beautifully designed however the biggest problem is, app is very slow and get hanged. This needs to be fixed further inputs can be collected later on as the app is very slow to give optimal performance.
3 stars for the topics on contents only. Every time I try to register or login it crashes and shows the blank page. After few second it automatically closes. About the contents, I can't able to see as every content says login required. Please fix this ASAP.
The app is not loading up. Everytime I try to open it, it first starts loading and then says check your internet connection but I am connected to a high speed internet connection over Wi-Fi.
useless app. redirects to links, and the links most often wont open, access would be restricted, and even if they do let you in, it lets you view each page, reluctant in loading pages properly even on a perfectly working network connection..
The accessibility of the app is difficult. It force closes multiple times and after signing up I have not received any verification mail to login and hence not allowing me to login. Please look into this issue.
The idea is awesome ... everything is good but my only request please reduce the size of the file of book . When ever I am going to view the contents I must download it and the file size is soo high... my god, please put mobile viewable version (small size such as eg. .epub, etc versions).
It has destitute visuals. And also I am not able to download the pdf of book biomechanics by Fung, Y.C. A very lame way to verify our emails. I am recommending that to improve visuals of the app as well as of the pdfs and also the verification process.
Worst app because of no PDF found separately and even books. Very confusing that where is which subject books.This app is not attractive for readers and not understand.Humble request to add some novels in different languages And biography books📚📚. Develop the app 👉📱and add some books like educational.
My worst experience. When I have already logged in to the site from chrome, there was no problem. But when I download the 'NDL India' app from playstore I am seeing that the app isn't opening,it is showing that 'check your internet connection ' again and again. When I opened that for 1st time there was no problem but when I am opening that for 2nd time it isn't opening. I don't understand what I have to do and why I have to face these inconvenience.
worst app . These many institutions for computers . could not develop a proper app in india shameful . it is nonsense results boasting that results are within these seconds like that . what matters if results are not accurate. might books are copied from other countries. Better to show books which are available and useful to Indians and books with Indian authors too.. 😡😡
It is overall good app but it takes a lot of time to open a file.opening a downloaded file also takes great time and is too much slow.i hope that this problem will be fixed soon.
the complete names of the research papers,articles,books etc are not visible without first opening or tapping on them for viewing in potrait mode. please provide for viewing the full title of the resources without opening them or provide the functionality for viewing on a rotated screen.
Satisfied with overall experience.still required some sort of improvement .The main problem when I download it. U may add some cloud space as it is easy and simple 🐱
Hard to search any book 📚. You will find a lot of books or topic instead of what did you searched. Need to classify the books by their topic/Subject or Catagory. I faced this aap at least 4 times in last 3 years. Everytime I uninstalled the app in the hope of imprisonment without rating. But today I did... Because there is no improvement. Thank you IIT KHARAGPUR.
I'm very looking forward to some good reading app which contains all kind of stuff either it's related to course study or just for fun. Which I think this app have but the slow and not so user friendly interface lacks sometimes. I've not received the email for account sign-up which is very disappointing . I hope you guys did something about that. To keep it more efficient and effective in a good way.
