Free education is always a winner in my book! The options for courses are endless. I only have 1 issue with the new updated version, my navigation bar is blocking me from exiting ads. And it's quite frustrating because now I have to change my navigation bar settings for just one app. Please check on this.

The has a variety of courses u can choose from and the options are endless making it very easy for people to choose, however if you're not sure about what course u want to take they can recommend one for you based on your hobbies, interests,etc then offer a summary of courses to choose from and it is totally free, you do not have to stress about studying everyday as even after weeks your study progress will not be lost, but reminders are sent when u are offline for long,best app so far♡

Easy to use, and amazing that they provide so many free courses! Giving 4 stars only because I noticed there was some misinformation in the marine biology course I took and using AI is not something I approve of, especially for teaching. I also think you could be more upfront about the fact you have to pay to download certificates, since it seems kind of misleading to not mention that when saying the courses are completely free.
