  • Slow to open; non-functional on airplane

    By HomerDesMoines
    I have been listening to great courses since the early 1990s when I rented cassettes. The company has continued to try to meet me via the latest technological improvements. I have purchased many courses. I am able to download lectures. Yet the app does not open without Internet access or requires me to join streaming service while on airplane. Content = 5 stars. Implementation = 0 Stars as I cannot access the content.
  • Disappointing

    I love the content. I have bought a TON of content over the years. More than I’ve actually watched or listened to. The new Plus app is awfully dedicated to pushing the subscription plan. I don’t want a subscription. And I have no search function to just search my purchased content. Why? Worse, this version of the app has a similar shortcoming to the old app. I download content to watch/listen when I have no internet access. But the app still insists I log in, even to watch downloaded content. I can’t log in if I have no internet access. I can’t log in before I leave, but sometimes it forgets, and I’m out of luck. Very disappointing on both accounts. I’ve been a customer since the days of cassette tapes. I think this app is deeply flawed, at least for a customer like me.

    Great content but graphics etc seem to bog down the app's load time
  • App does not function well

    Love the content. However, the app is a pain. Seems to work ok on a phone; but on an iPad, especially if I am not connected to the internet, it hangs up. Takes forever to load; or just fails to load at all. Only way to make it reliably load is to turn the iPad completely off, turn it back on ,and then try to load the app as the FIRST thing to do. Not sure why this happens, but this is highly irritating. I have tried to uninstall/delete the app and then re-install - no difference !
  • App doesn’t work

    The iPad app is totally unresponsive. You can click on one thing like “My Purchases” but after that you can’t click on anything. So you can’t access anything you’ve paid for.
  • New version broken

    Terrible new version. Takes forever to load. Most times it fails to load at all.
  • No purchase option?

    I am quite disappointed that The Great Courses has gone from a purchase model to a subscription model. Why not offer both options to consumers? Two thumbs down.
  • Still terrible

    Have now viewed previously purchased courses. Download for viewing off line doesn’t work. I have a half TB previously download, un-usable. Also lost is the ability to have my previously purchased courses presented in different ways (a-z; z-a, ; recently viewed; etc. Has been some improvement in clarity. Given the diminished quality of lecturer presentation (they need to learn to be able to present in a natural voice rather then clumsily reciting a script), and lack of interesting subjects,have not purchased new courses. Doesn’t appear Great Course Admin cares. Just a continued down hill slope.
  • Needs a Way to Ask Questions

    By Heddwen123
    I understand this isn’t a live classroom. Indeed, independent, self-paced learning is what I hoped to get. But there are instances when asking a question, a forum, perhaps, would be vital. For instance, at the beginning of the chemistry course, the professor asks, If you have 3000 students and can seat thirty students per room, how many rooms are in the school? He proceeds to talk about ways of thinking about problems in chemistry, but I was completely distracted, waiting for him to point out that, logically, there’s no way to know how many rooms are in the school, only that the 3000 students would occupy 100 of them. So now I don’t understand if that’s how I’m supposed to think, or not.
  • Wonderful Content, App Needs Some Work

    I absolutely love all the programming I’ve viewed thus far. However the app needs some updates. I’d love to see Picture in Picture support outside the app. It works within the app fine. CarPlay support would be incredible too for audio versions. It would also be nice to add an easy autoplay toggle into the UI.
