Inkling Reviews

Inkling has many different formatting options so that we can create our InkDocs to our company standards. It is easy to create multiple projects and then to distribute amongst our different departments (Sales & CS). I find it easy to use the distribution rules when adding users to projects. I like how interactive Inkling can be when it comes to user content (quizzes, multiple choice, buttons, etc.). Inkling makes learning fun and interesting!

The customer service is excellent! Our rep is always easy to connect with and will work internally to handle our requests in a timely manner. Our rep is also eager to show us new features that might be beneficial, which we appreciate!

At times it is difficult to edit content. We often want to copy information from one project to another and I find myself having to go into the coding of the project in order to do so. There is a lot of room for error when working in coding as opposed to just being able to copy and paste material.

We used to have issues with user content (fill in the blanks) not saving, which has since been resolved!

It is very intuitive and integrates well with the customer-facing application.

I do wish that there was an autosave feature. Further, unable to copy and paste text external to the software and it does not integrate with third-party spell-checkers such as Grammarly. There is also sometimes a delay following command input, but you only end up waiting for only a second or two.

Easy to Navigate,
Allows for display of multiple media types,
Allows for easy updates to fix bugs,
Downloading files is counter intuitive

Does not provide all the tools that teachers would appreciate. For example it allows for quizzes/practice problems but has no way to report results. Does not allow customization

On the development side, Inkling is easy and intuitive to use. Only a few features need to be demonstrated, other than that someone with no training in using Inkling could probably be building content comfortably within a half hour.

Inkling is always striving to make their product better for the end user, which is of course a great thing. I do hope to see some improvements on the developer side though. Just one example, it would be easier to manage what projects people are in if we could see a list of those projects in their account. As it is we have to look in the projects to see who's in a project.

Ease of use, easy to jump directly to the section of the textbook

struggle to get from textbook to textbook, navigation can be confusing

I like the ease of use of Inkling and that I can work with several team members at one time.

It was a learning curve to figure out how to use the editing features. However, I quickly picked up on it and it is great!

I’m able to download my entire textbook on my cellphone. Some of the chapters are free when you download the book. Because I only have to download the chapters I need instead the entire book. It’s cheaper versus buying an entire book or ebook online.

Navigating from page to page can be difficult at times because a back tab isn’t visible. The content page isn’t visible when you open the app but instead the latest chapter you purchased is visible. That can be problematic when trying to navigate between chapters you purchased for the book.
