This is Android. Not iOS.Has iOS style in most places, and doesn't have a proper menu, even for Android 2.x. Not showing menu option on my TF201, but there is a menu when I force menu button to show.

Almost okayI do not approve of the inappropriate ads. When they're gone maybe I will reinstall it.

Cheeky and possibly maliciousNew app permissions set to have sparknotes MONITOR and WATCH your calls, noteably how sparknote's target audience are teenagers, it is a way for them to spy. After all, what would an education company like sparknotes need personal phone serial numbers for?

Really?Poor iOS-esque UI that's hardly optimized for Android. So laggy on my Sensation that id rather use the website.

Seems, functional, but..Scrolling is pretty laggy, and the ads are really annoying while you're trying to read something. Also, why would you bother copying the iOS UI into android? Android's normal UI not only looks better, but it would be less laggy and a hell of a lot easier to use when developing the app. So, why?

Nice but...Nice app but it is a literal copy paste of the iPhone version! Come on it is not that complicated to change the design a bit! + this app constantly requests (and uses) your location which of course drains battery...

Far less functionality then the siteI was disappointed to find this doesn't offer access to the study materials available on the sparknotes site, such as the SAT materials. I'm sure the app is great if you need summaries for books, but it would have been nice if it provided more than that.

Good, but flawedI appreciate the app, but wonder why it needs my location? I have to remember to turn of my GPS while using this app or my battery dies.

Works well but UI needs workThe app does what it says and displays it very nicely, but the UI itself feels heavy and sluggish

why the need...what's the point of the app having the new phone call permission? seems unnecessarily invasive. however, it's an awesome app besides that.

HP TouchPadI gave it 4 stars because it is a great idea and fully works on my Droid Bionic but I can't access my downloaded library from my TouchPad running CM9 alpha 2 once this is fixed it is easily a 5 star app.
