**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2018

**What do you like best about ActiveTextbook?**

What made us decide to license and brand the Activetextbook application is the feature set that the application has "out of the box" together with the ability to customize the application via the permission set to the needs of our customers: Swiss schools in higher education. During the use of the application during the last 2 years we also highly appreciated the fact the team at evidentpoint.com, the developers of Activetextbook, is very familiar and interested in the needs of schools in higher education.

**What do you dislike about ActiveTextbook?**

We are currently using the online version as well as the offline apps (iOS, Android, Windows). The offline apps are slightly less powerful, and the deployment is by nature slightly more challenging. This will be history once the progressive web application (PWA) is rolled out allowing offline use in the browser making the apps redundant.

**What problems is ActiveTextbook solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our customers have an increasing demand for eBooks that allow a rich and engaging experience with the learning material they are presented with. Activetextbook allows us to ship eBooks in a protected environment with features that fulfill the requirements we are seeing in schools that are our customers.
