Ratings and reviews

Useful but also full of bugs. Usability is really bad. The player does not store settings and switches back to 1x replay in HD. No option to directly go to next video. Extremely long scroll list with all chapters instead of selecting current week. Back button in player jumps to random video instead of next or last video. There have been no updates for over a YEAR.

Opened it. Logged in. Did not see my enrolled courses, did not see my finished courses. Every time I refreshed something, got an error message. Sorry, useless, deleted the app. Guess this needs a fast data connection or Wi-Fi, which I don't have.

Good one!
