### 3/5 — Ok app. Could use split screen capabilities

*2019-08-18, version 5.6.3*

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.

### 1/5 — Painstakingly Slow and Responsive

*2017-12-22, version 5.6.3*

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!).

### 1/5 — Do NOT use this app!

*2017-08-24, version 5.6.3*

Absolutely horrible! I bought an eBook to use for a class and it would not download. I tried contacting support via email (there was no phone number), but the link on their support page was invalid. There is a total lack of customer service.

### 1/5 — Tl;dr: it's terrible.

*2016-09-25, version 5.6.2*

Everything aside from turning pages takes way too long to load, there doesn't seem to be an efficient way to skip to a certain page, and textbooks will not load past one hundred pages. If I was not required to use it, I'd have deleted it from the beginning. Of course, I really can't use it, due to not being able to read past the one hundred page mark.

### 1/5 — Hi

*2016-09-01, version 5.6.2*

Hi people :)

### 2/5 — 2/5

*2016-03-04, version 5.5.2*

Works extremely well for the first 20 minutes, no problem. Then the app starts lagging and I can't highlight or flip the page. This is incredibly irritating and insufficient and makes my studying and homework extremely slower. It's up to you guys to decide if its worth it or not, but these people seriously need to learn how to program this app to not lag.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2016-02-01, version 5.5.2*

I have this app on my Iphone as well as my Lenovo 2 in 1. And neither work properly.  I can only see half the page, I can't book mark anything and there is no tool bar. Customer service is not helpful and I fear I am out $86 I spent on my school book.

### 1/5 — Constant Glitching

*2015-11-30, version 5.5.2*

This app is adequate when it works(which is not very often), and useless when it does not. I have never had an app freeze as often as this does. Pages on my history book will not load, causing this trash to crash repeatedly.

### 4/5 — Selecting text

*2015-10-01, version 5.5.2*

This app works well and I'm excited to use it for my class instead of having to carry around my heavy textbook but PLEASE make selecting text faster and more responsive (it's just so slow to use in the real world and I wish to use the highlighting / note taking features)

### 1/5 — Horrible experience

*2015-09-11, version 5.5.1*

The overall UI is lacking in depth, organization, and application. I would hope that a publishing company would know how to create an app that allows the user a positive experience-but not this one. The contents are out of order and the pages aren't correctly numbered. The book takes time to load even though you've already downloaded it. You have to download the whole book, instead of chapters. The script is VERY hard to read. The dev team should've looked at creating a UI like iBooks or Kindle. This is horrible. I feel bad that I have to give this to my students. I wish there was a better option. What a waste.

### 3/5 — Good, not Exemplary

*2015-09-07, version 5.5.1*

This app looks fairly good and serves its advertised purpose fairly well. Nevertheless, it has its share of bugs and/or opportunity for improvement. For example, selecting text within a textbook is very unreliable (though it is an attempted feature) and textbooks cannot be searched by page number.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2020-09-01, version 6.0*

Worst school app I’ve ever used.

### 1/5 — do not use this app

*2020-04-02, version 5.6.3*

I downloaded a book from class, thinking that the website would allow me to download it and read it from my laptop, but this is not the case. It does not work on a computer, you must use an Ipad or phone. I don’t think reading a 550 page book from my phone is feasible and I do not have an Ipad. Thoroughly frustrated and now I have to buy the book again, which is not only frustrating but a burden in an already tough time. Do not waste your money on this horrible app.

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE COPIA CLASS FOR TEXTBOOKS

*2020-02-15, version 5.6.3*

I cant access my textbook on my computer because apparently the Copia web reader cant open it. If you need to use a textbook on a PC DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. I honestly recommend not using this service at all as not having this feature is ridiculous and nothing on their website or support has been helpful. I regret paying money for my textbook through Copia if I could refund it I would but the code is apparently one time use and nonrefundable.

### 1/5 — Not so good

*2019-10-27, version 5.6.3*

App is unresponsive. Cannot download anything or even read my books that I bought. Big issues that need to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Can’t use split view.

*2019-09-10, version 5.6.3*

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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-03-18, version 5.6.3*

The app states that an “admin” changed my username. Then it kicked me out the app and forced me to re-login. Upon logging in, the textbook is not available, and the “admin” message pops up again. The customer support is also useless as they only say “use the textbook online”.

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever!

*2019-03-18, version 5.6.3*

Consistently the worst app ever! Kicks me out all the time and crashes way too much. If you plan on learning anything, DO NOT get this app.

### 1/5 — Trash

### 1/5 — Absolutely garbage

Great app!

### 5/5 — Saved the day!

*2020-07-08, version 6.0*

As the world was forced into distance learning I was concerned about my sons education. I had so many questions and needed to know that my son was going to continue to have access to academic content. Copia class was easy for my son to use. As a student with learning difficulties having the use of digital media to help him learn made a huge difference in his learning. He was able to do better using Copia. He struggles in school without the use of digital resources.  He works well with digital media and can read more books using a digital platform.  The Copia App allowed my son to feel more confident about reading and using highlighting features. He had both his reading books and math course work on Copia. I truly liked the program as a parent and I was particularly happy that my son took to it and his learning was not disrupted during remote learning. All students should have access to digital textbooks and novels. I would love to see this app available to parents. My son is going to high school soon. After using Copia I am looking for schools that use digital media and LMS in the same way. If not I would like the option to use Copia as part of my homeschooling program.

After 15 long years, I have finally found the greatest app of all time. I have been looking high and low, but now I see. This app. It is a masterpiece. I've never seen such a complete app with so many great features and abilities. I hope you, the consumer have as much fun as I did. Love, Jerrick

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-10-06, version 5.6.2*

I dont understand why this app has only one star. It is so much better than the ebook i had to use for an rit class i took over the summer. I love all the features of being able to highlight and comment and everything about this app is just so convinient.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

### 4/5 — Okay...

The app is overall okay, because  Mr.Welsh recommended it. I hate how you can't rotate the screen on the mobile app. PLS UPDATE TO ROTATE!!!
