Ratings and reviews

The content of the app is, of course, amazing. It's everhthing it needs to be. The app structure was almost broken at first launch, though. I had to constantly close and reopen the app, since the video player would either freeze or prevent me from accessing any other app content. I look forward to using the app more the better it gets (I was excited enough for it; I found and downloaded it before its "official" release!)

It's awesome!!! The issues I am having: -the application resets when the charging status changes, both ways; -though the current time is retained between iterations of play in a single lecture(when the application has reset between those) , after a second or two in which it is resumed, the lecture starts over from the beginning; -Downloaded courses cannot be accessed without an internet connection to first load menu data.

There is a lot of great content available on this app. However, the app itself is frustrating at best. It frequently restarts lectures and forgets where you left off, often problematic with loading content, user interface has some major flaws, the list goes on. ARI, please get rid of the app and make the content available directly through YouTube.

What's new

With this release the app can be used in Portuguese by toggling to that language in the main Settings menu under Language Options. All course descriptions are available in Portuguese, and over twenty courses are fully translated - from course and lesson text to video subtitles.

In addition, this version includes improvements to the video player interface, better downloading functionality, many other enhancements and bug fixes.
