Ratings and reviews

An excellent educational application. It allows you to download lectures so that even people with limited internet access can learn. It allows you to listen without video for when you are commuting. It has an excellent social platform. Best quality lectures. Best content learn ability. Quizzes and exams are optional so you don't have to be afraid of having low grades, and you can rewatch lectures multiple times to let that content sink in. There are no ads so you don't waste your time.

here's the disagreeable conscientious person doing what we do. absolutely love everything Peterson related. however, I got this app on Christmas and even with the update it remains useless, the only way any video or audio works sometimes is if I leave my phone open and the video playing. otherwise multiple apps open up playing the same audio together, or the app freezes and goes black all together, or the app just freezes. I listen to podcasts, audiobooks, and now these lectures on my commute.

All sorts of issues - double videos playing at once, won't keep playing when I close the screen to put it in my pocket. Trouble downloading videos to play offline. I'm sure they are busy working on these things, so I'll update my review as it sorts out... but for now. 😬
