It's great for learning anywhere and developing career skills. I like that even if you can't buy the certificate, you can still download your learner record and proof that you completed certain courses. One thing I'd like to suggest is the ability to bookmark courses for later. This would really elevate the experience by making it easy to return to courses that you don't necessarily want to do instantly.

Like everything today cause everyone is so greedy now, my most hated thing about this app......... is the stupid ad's. Also, they could do a better job on Android with how to save the courses you want to take. I've been having to click the course and start it then exit it so it'll save and so I can easily access it again. Maybe add the ability to make a playlist, save list or save for later category so I can easily find it when I want to do it. Giving 1 star purely for the annoying ads.

Hello Joshua, thanks for your feedback. We’ve now added a “Save for Later” option on course pages so you can save courses using the save icon at the top of the course page and easily come back to them from your dashboard whenever you want. We also appreciate your comments about ads and shared them with the team.

This app and website has so much potential, but falls short because of a lack of upkeep and outdated material. For example, Alison offers CompTIA A+ courses, however the courses that they offer are outdated by 10+ years and at least 2 test revisions. This is irresponsible, as someone could end up wasting money to take the CompTIA tests after passing the course, but still be completely unprepared for the updated material. Some courses are very good, but the Alison team should do better.
