Awful
A true stinker of an app…where is the zero star option when you need it.

Not compatible on iPhone
This app is very bad. I can’t even read my documents and the words and diagrams go blank when u pinch and zoom.

Do not download!!!
The PDF doesn't work. I bought a PDF from Chicago University press but it just shows up as playing and doesn’t work at all.

Terrible scrolling experience
Sometimes the next page takes a while to load. Or it doesn’t load at all & it’s blank. Or it jumps to another section altogether.

Not able to authorise and non user friendly app !
This app is pathetic. The authorisation section is not working to type anything iniPad. The windows desktop version (4.5) is also giving issues like if any diagram is there that will mot appear in full! Only partly able to see it and in next page it is totally vanishing leaving no trace. I had feedback the same thing to ISACA.
Apple should give feedback to Adobe to fix the problems including the requirement of a up & down scroll bar. This is certainly not a user friendly app.
I am really wondering how is DRM going to support the user needs if things are like this!!!
Apple should remove this app from App Store if Adobe is unable to fix the problems because it will help the users to feedback the issuer of secure documents to provide alternative options.
Bottom line : if a high security is hindering the legitimate use of an authorised material is as good as it is not authorised.
I also don’t know whether I have to buy the printed copy of the book which I want to read. If so it is going to be a double expense for me due the great work of DRM supported apps.

Keep Crashing and Ebooks do not sync
This app crashed every time and I have a hard time getting the books sync from pc to iPad. Unable to read as app crashed the moment I open a E-book to read

text size
the app runs smoothly on an iphone 7, but the font size (for ePub) is enormous even at the smallest setting :(

UX issues
The font size and scrolling is well in the realm of nightmares — left to right scrolling on the phone is never a good thing, and the font size is so large that even at the smallest setting a paragraph fails to fit on the page. Don’t really have anything good to say about it.

Crashes easily
This app crashes everytime I use the “search” function.

A app to block your reading
I’ve downloaded quite a couple of reading apps, but ADE takes the cake for making my life difficult.
Does not work. Even after authorizations. Read the forum. Delete app. Choose another book.
Easter egg bonus: the app crawls on my 16GB ram laptop.

Useless
Still can’t work

can’t work
this is an ingenious idea but i can’t enter an ID to authorise my account, so i can’t use it

Connection Error Detected
The app doesn't work. It always shows a "Connection Error Detected" message. This issue has been posted on the Adobe site by users, but no solution has been provided by Adobe as far as I can find.

Doesn't work
Tested with over drive account, it prompted me the following error message "digital edition could not connect to the fulfillment server " .
The ebook works fine with the overdrive app and my phone has internet connection.
