Does not work well offline
The app works well online but very very often hangs when in my car out of cell phone service. Very frustrating. The app just spins and does nothing
United StatesApp doesn’t work
Latest app version just won’t load videos - the app is useless. It’s the one and main thing this app is supposed to do and it just gets stuck on the loading video screen. I can look at the professor bios or even download the study guide in the app, but the videos won’t load or stream. I’d recommend Apple remove this from the store as a dead app. Very disappointed I paid for a bunch of courses and can’t watch them.
United StatesDownloaded videos do t work without internet
Can I please watch the videos that I have already downloaded to my phone without connecting to the internet? App isn’t loading properly and I can’t watch anything because it can’t connect to servers properly. Let me watch what’s on my phone already at the very least
United StatesUnstable, poorly designed interface
I have to drive occasionally through a five hour cell coverage dead zone so downloaded several courses to listen to. But the app randomly stops playing, showing up as “unknown” device” or just shutting down; once you plow through the steps to get back to the session, it doesn’t remember the session much less where you were; the selection buttons are minuscule (e.g. you can’t just click on the whole title in the play list but rather it a 1squate millimeter arrow to start playing)( the skip-forward button sometimes turns the app off. As much as I wanted to know more about Charlemagne, I gave up after ten attempts to listen to one lesson and listened to music. Worst app I’ve seen, and the great content Great Courses offers deserves better than a Windows 3.1 level experience. Get your act together, folks!
United StatesUnusable
I am already using the Roku app, but when I tried to use the app from the App Store it refuses to let me sign in. I don’t remember setting up the account, but when I initially tried I got an error message “user with e-mail already exists…” or something similar. So, I tried to use “forgot password”, but only get a different error message. It’s probably just as well, as the Roku app is $7 a month. From I can tell, to access a course like “Biblical Hebrew” it’s $340, with the only additional benefit of being able to download the PDF coursebook, which is why I was interested in the app for my iPad. Even if I could afford the $340 it’s impossible to complete the transaction if your app is busted. That’s pretty inexcusable for a 4 year old app, in my opinion.
United StatesTerrible app to use offline - coders should be fired!
The coders who made this app should be fired! At least for iPad, totally unusable in offline mode to watch downloaded courses. I used this app on an iPad to download my courses before a flight. When I tried to watch the courses offline on my flight, the app was horrifically unstable and crash nearly 20 times through a single 30 minute lecture. This is all the fault of terrible coding practices by the app developers! Whoever they paid to make this app did a terrible job on the backend code.
United StatesOver 15Gb data used with no downloads?
I have two iPads (6 Mini and Pro) IOS 16.5 that I have downloaded classes for trips in the past. Had deleted backups on Mini some time ago and four 1/2 hour classes on Pro today. Both still show over 15GB storage usage. Seams extreme! Version 8.2.3(1)
