Ratings and reviews

Downloaded it as it recommended over the website if you don't have a reliable internet connection. After logging in and downloading the content, I tested by turning on airplane mode and closing the app down and then opening it back up. I was able to get in without logging in but when I attempted to start a course. The screen throws a giant black window with a message telling me they don't detect and internet connection and to check my internet connection to resume! Why bother?

Good thing this app exists to access the course offline but the experience is terrible. Even when the page is already downloaded, loading takes forever and often just never works so you have to leave and come back, sometimes multiple times. Also, the app does not remember which language you want to use for the course so you have to look for it everytime.

Does the job, but loading times are long and downloads could be optimized. I like that I can download single lessons and all of a course at once, but even with all at once it would be way more efficient to download them in batches, e.g. 5 in parallel, first to last rather than all at once. After all, usually people who download material tend to have less downlink anyway, e.g. on dive boats, remote islands. As it is, I'm getting the later lessons/reviews long before any I should start with.
