Ratings and reviews

Great Content. Not-Great App. There seems to be no way to manage downloaded lectures except when I attempt to download one and there is insufficient space, then I can see a "Manage Downloads" option, but it is at a gross level. I can't select the lecture's I've already listened to. Why are the videos so large? I'd like to be able to listen only except when I'm on Wifi. The App needs a lot of work. It's caused me to use much more Data Plan than I expected and that other similar apps require.

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.
