App Profile: Copia Class

Rating: 3/5

I don’t mind this app. It’s convenient to have my textbook in an app. The pages don’t match up, but using the table of contents makes this issue mostly inconsequential. One thing this app needs is the option to open in split screen with another app. I take notes on my iPad and as of right now I can’t have my book and GoodNotes open without overlaying GoodNotes on the book. That blocks some of the textbook and is incredibly inconvenient.

My school uses this app for textbooks for some classes (we use our iPads for mostly everything); personally, I have used the app for both AP U.S. History and AP European History textbooks. The UI is very poor overall: pages load dismally slowly, highlighting is clunky and at times unresponsive, for some unimaginable reason the app does not resume from the page you were reading from previous use, and it's a chore to find where you left off because the page numbers don't even match up. It makes for a very poor and frustrating experience. I wish I had a superior option but I'm stuck with this one because it's what is used by the school. On a positive note, you can zoom in on pages conveniently, a feature pages lacks (nice!).

I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned that you can’t use split view with this app (I’m using the 2017 iPad Pro). I can’t use Copia Class and GoodNotes in split view and it’s making it really inconvenient for people who take notes this way. Unfortunately, my professor is trying out Copia Class this semester and I have to use it.
