Ratings and reviews

This app is great, and the courses are excellent, but I do experience an issue where even though I've clicked and downloaded some of the video lectures, when I'm out and lose internet access, the video stops playing. usually the whole point of downloading a video in an app is so that you can view it while you're offline. I just checked my data usage by this app and it seems to confirm the fact that it's still using my cellular connection to stream the video after I've downloaded it.

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.

The App is great. I've been exited for it ever since I noticed it on the coming soon tab of the website. I'm happy I won't have to log in with my username and password every time I want to listen to a lecture now. the only thing is that currently, I can't play the lecture in the background if my phone is off or if I want to close the app and play chess for example. Otherwise a fantastic addition to the Peterson Academy
