Classoos 4+

You know we buy these books, and if they don’t open or don’t load, we just paid for nothing. And I’ve seen I’m not the only one dealing with this issue. Need a fix.

This app provides the basic functionality you’d need: the ability to view books offline on your device. Unfortunately, there are a couple caveats that prevent this app from being enjoyable. The UI looks outdated, buggy and unresponsive with books not remembering the last page you were on correctly. The pages switch from an infinite scroll to single pages you swipe seemingly at random. The bookshelf doesn’t display the book names, requiring you to read the tiny text on the low definition book covers. There is no dark mode. Perhaps the most glaring issue is the lack of support for split screen on iPad OS, crippling productivity for students. Even the name communicates the lack of inspiration for this app. I myself use three different apps with this naming scheme of Class[random sound] for school. I really wish the Classoos team works on improving these features as they’ve already addressed the hard part of making this product viable, being the library. A few UI updates is all they’re missing to make the app usable. Maybe even add a few home screen widgets to really home in the competency of this product.

I’ve been using this app frequently and have come to rely on it heavily for school, as it’s incredibly convenient to have all my study materials on my iPad instead of carrying multiple books. However, while the app’s functionality is commendable, I believe there is room for improvement in its design. The interface could benefit from a more intuitive layout, as it currently feels somewhat outdated and can be challenging to navigate. A cleaner, user-friendly design would enhance the experience, making it accessible for a wider audience. Overall, it’s a valuable app, but a design refresh would make it exceptional
