Pros and cons of Adobe Digital Editions app for iPhone and iPad

Adobe Digital Editions app good for

This is a great app to read books from the library and other protected sources. All of the whiner complaints are from people who probably didnt download the e-book to their device and are clueless about using new technology.
Works well with books checked out from library via Overdrive.

Some bad moments

It is just unbelievable how bad can it be. Its a nightmare change the pages and not possible to create folders to organize the library. As the copyright protected files cant be open in other app Im feeling a hostage in this junk.
Terribly slow, almost impossible to use on iPad. I will not buy anymore books that require this reader
I left a comment in my first week with this app (see below)... but now I must say I am too disappointed. Why is it that I cannot download my books and articles from an old to a new iPad?!? No wi-fi connection? No cloud? No export function? This means I will loose all my purchased library! Any solution? .... . Till now I had no problems... Easy access to table of contents, choose chapters, and change pages,... I have little experience with this app.... must try it a bit more to the point of classifying with stars... I usually use iBook, but it does not give access to restricted editions. I will be back to a star evaluation.
Adobe really did not understand a thing. First you need to synchronize books manually from another device - cloud distribution anyone? Even worse: the bought! Ebooks (ITIL SOA) dont fit to screen in neither portrait or landscape. Even with combining both orientations you are unable to get all informations. There is also no zooming possible. (iPhone 6s) This is really the worst offering of one of the bigger companies (maybe except Adobe Flash...) This really is no concurrence to kindle or iBooks - unfortunately ITIL and PRINCE2 materials are exclusively electronically available on Adobe Shittical Editions
Im sadly forced to use this due to bad policy from a library. The document is drm encrypted and I could not find anything else that opened it. But Its the worst reading software I have ever seen. No annotations. No bookmarks not even automatic zoom on landscape mode. If you find something better please let me know. Adobe once again proves it sucks when its not photoshop and in design
This is the worst creation from Adobe EVER - they should completely re-work it as it is very nearly useless - once you do jump through all the hoops to install it, it crashes when you try to open the library book you are looking forward to reading. Its crap. Adobe!! Pay attention, you are getting a black eye for this poorly designed "reader".
