I have enjoyed using the app in going through my lessons. However, I have noticed at times my lessons being shown as completed when, in fact, the lessons had not been. This has made it difficult to properly track completed lessons and continue to the next one. I have had to update each to show that it was not completed. Sometimes, it will take me back to lessons I have already completed.
★★★★★
Much better than previous versions. Fantastic that the new Fire TV and app versions now allow access to my digital library without subscribing to "The Great Courses Plus". Glad you dumped the name Wondrous. That was a confusing detour and could only have hurt the Great Course brand. I understand that DVDs are probably heading towards obsolescence, but I prefer something tangible, especially with printed Guidebooks. Don't want to print PDFs and don't like reading online documentation.
★★★★★
Outstanding education. We can continue learning at the pace we choose from a vast library of excellent courses.
★★☆☆☆
This app is utter trash. Constant bugs preventing files from playing, trying to stream courses already downloaded, and failing to open unless in airplane mode. The lectures are great - just download them as mp3s, and listen on any other media player. I've been a customer for over 15 years, and the quality slide has been atrocious. I've seen better apps made by high school students. Save your frustration, and use ANY other platform. Don't touch this company's products, even if you get them free.
★★☆☆☆
I like the great courses, but the app won't recognize the fact that I have a storage card. I have tried everything. That limits my ability to download courses that I own.
★★☆☆☆
The app is terrible. Simply horribly made. It's incredibly buggy. I love the Great courses content, but this app is rage-inducing.
★★☆☆☆
It would be nice if the app had the option of stopping automatically after a lecture instead of starting the next one
