Awful
Useless for me. Can’t even get the sound to come on half the time.
No sound
Just downloaded the app but getting no sound. Please help!!
Reviewing the app, not the content. Requires substantial refinements
EduCBA content is also available via the site and the below comments relate to this app only. I’ve not experienced such issues via the site. Reviewed on iPad Pro 9.7” with keyboard cover and iOS 13.7.
- In-frame controls differ between portrait and landscape (full screen) modes. In Portrait you’ve 10s rewind / forward buttons, in landscape these are 15s buttons.
- Portrait mode has two sets of rewind 10s / play-pause buttons, but only one forward 10s button. Why duplicate these buttons?
- In portrait mode, the 10s rewind / forward buttons automatically restart playback. If, for example, I wish to rewind 30s (i.e. three presses of the button) I end up only around 28s rewound as the video has automatically restarted playback before I’ve selected my restart position. The Only way around this is to use the scrubbing bar to select your restart position.
- In landscape mode, there is only one set of rewind 15s / forward 15s buttons and they don’t automatically recommence playback (i.e. these actually work as expected by this user).
- switching to landscape mode means in effect switching to full screen. At the end of the current clip, the player switches back to portrait mode and automatically commences playing the next clip in the course, but the video frame is now stretched beyond the edge of the screen. There is no way to reduce the frame size, and no way to switch back to landscape mode.
- Landscape mode includes an AirPlay button thus inviting its use. I have both a 3rd gen and 4K 4th gen AppleTV available, as well as AppleTV functionality natively embedded in a recently acquired TV. None of these devices can play both the video and audio streams from this app at the same time without engaging screen mirroring (i.e. AirPlay doesn’t work properly).
- Once switched to landscape (full screen mode), if the device orientation is switched to portrait, the video frame also rotates to portrait, then immediately rotates back to landscape (with the device held on portrait).
In all, an early version and as yet unpolished release; I’d like to see a substantial improvement. It’s been nearly 9 months team - are we going to see another release any time soon?

Difficult to use
Pressing play seems so difficult on this app and then once I have done it, there is no sound on the course. So frustrating as I could be learning on the go.
No sound
No sound on ipad pro with the latest ios.

Hi Zirkan, We are really sorry to know that your experience on the app was not satisfactory. Thank you for your feedback we will look into it at the earliest. And we also apologize for any inconvenience caused to you.
Love EduCBA and glad they finally have an iOS app
Awesome learning site and really happy there is finally a website and a way to download courses to my iPad for offline viewing (great for boring flights). Please add landscape mode on the iPad though. When I use my iPad it is always in landscape and usually hooked up to my Smart Keyboard. Portrait only makes it hard to have eduCBA up and use multi tasking to take notes in my notes app.

Hello Johnny, Glad that you liked our EDUCBA Learning App. Thank you for your feedback, we will surely try to implement the changes on our learning platform. And we also apologize any inconvenience caused to you.
Landscape Mode
The courses I have purchased and that I am able to access with this app work well. They just really need to be viewed in Landscape not Portrait mode on the iPad, as such I tend to use my laptop or desktop to access the classes instead. I would increase the rating today to 4 stars for Landscape mode.
Reference Files from the courses I should be able to store them on iCloud Drive, or Dropbox. Not sure where the downloads end up. I would give another Star for ability to store reference files where it makes sense for me.

Broken app experience
These guys need to realize it’s 2018. Their mobile web experience was completely broken and their app, while navigable, is buggy and sound doesn’t play at all. It all seems pretty half-done.
