Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app doesn't show all of my purchased content. I bought a new course, the payment went through, but the course is not in my list. Sometimes it fails to load videos. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

I tried to use this app several times and the courses I have downloaded disappear. They don’t seem to work unless you have an Internet connection at the time you start the course for the day after they’re already downloaded. This flaw makes it unusable for me.

Courses will only load 2 lectures forcing you to use the web version. The app is completely useless. This issue has been going on for at least 3 months.
