The book is good but I was frustrated by it being released late which hindered my planning. I truly believe that the process for students to be able to access the books needs to be simplified. It took... See more

When we lost the ability to log in recently, our IT dept contacted your helpdesk, who didn't seem to know how to resolve the problem. Our students appreciate being able to access the textbook online,... See more

Marking A Level RS

Fantastic course- really helpful and Chris was great at explaining/demystifying levels and answering any questions we had. Nice to meet other teachers teaching the same course too.

My school is paying for the service and the majority of students can't even login to it! Apparently the support team was meant to add each student email individually and they won't do it because it's time consuming so we are paying for nothing. Very disappointing.

The subscription was not moved over to boost and we were not informed that the subscription was being offered through a different website.

Thank you for your review. We did send multiple communications out about the move but we also appreciate these can sometimes end up in spam folders so we are sorry that you hadn’t been aware of the change. We also appreciate that switching to a new platform does bring challenges for users, especially when you loved the old version, but we are confident with the right support from us that you will love Boost too. We are here to help, so please get in touch with our support team about any challenges you are facing in the move from My Rising Stars: https://help.hoddereducation.co.uk/hc/en-gb/requests/new

Over priced ebooks and poor app.

Over priced ebooks and the login system didn't work. And the iPad app doesn't even allow split screen. For £7.50 per year per book, I would expect a lot more.

It does not work

I have tried using this reader on all my devices - desktop, MacBook, iPhone, iPad and it hasn't worked on any of them. I did email and Marta Filipowicz replied with instructions to try and work the app. Nothing worked. I would really like a refund.

It was great services especially in terms of responses and updating me on my purchase. However, I would have loved if there could be an indication of expected day of delivery- I was hoping i would be able to see that during checkout. Minus that, I have been updated on where the product is and tracking has been so easy.

The textbook helps the learning process

The textbook is attractively produced and well written and the Hodder website has answers to the reinforcing questions. The package of booklets is valuable for self-study at home and for reinforcing classroom lessons. Ordering is easy, quick and efficient.

I had some issues in downloading my books, but I got a quick and efficient support from the help desk. However it is a pity that the new purchased books are not automatically available on the app.

Your customer service can be improved

Your customer service is awful.
We purchased a book by mistake, I have sent an email to you explaining the situation, and never got an answer. I know the email was received and read.

Update: they finally reimbursed it, so I will increase my rating of their service.
