Ratings and reviews

Not usable on Motorola Stylus. I've tried changing the settings, doesn't matter. Ads take up the entire page, the back button won't let you escape, shutting the app off and coming back only works if the next ad is actually closable, and it can take a few tries to get one. Most of them don't even show the exit button. Not worth it on this device. Course material varies. Some of it is very amateur.

I really like the course I am taking. The instructor makes some mistakes along the way and does not fully explain things as much as I would like in the videos, so I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. The course material should be vetted better and edited without errors. Seems more "On the fly" than a lesson plan or scripted presentation.

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.
