Buggy and missing features. The mobile webpage is much better. I'm working through multiple learning paths and need my notebook. Can't access notes or add new ones. That alone makes having the app pointless. I was hoping the app would make it easier to find my way into the learning paths but LPs, courses and video are mingled. Worse than the mobile site. Please go back to how Lynda had it. Tree format. LP/courses/videos. Let me drill down to the thing I'm looking for.

Has all of the features needed. I love downloading the courses to the phone so that I can learn while away from a decent signal. It's also very easy to remove the video from the phone to clear up storage. A higher resolution video option would be great. sometime seeing instructor's screens in 720p resolution isn't always the best.

The learning and videos are good, but the app is a little problematic. The quizzes time-out sometimes, also selecting answers is annoying because it thinks you're selecting an answer when really you just want to see the next multiple choice option. Download to play later works better if you download when you have wifi and watch when you have shoddy internet. If you don't download and try to watch in bad internet... well, you won't. The buffering will take forever, the quality will dip, and you may have to re-watch the same section over and over. Basically, use wifi. If on the road, download beforehand. I also sometimes get the issue of watching a video and it not registering as being watched. Otherwise the content is very good.

The videos are good and educational. The issue I have is that after a few lessons completed, I was no longer able to add a new skill or lesson to my profile. I reached out to tech support and appeared to receive a response from a bot. I was instructed to uninstall and reinstall the app to fix the problem and it didn't resolve the issue. When responding again about the unsatisfactory results, they closed the ticket.

I'm sorry that some of you didn't get what you needed from your courses, but I had a really great experience with both courses I signed with. The instructors, Dennis Taylor and Annyce Davis, were awesome. I was annoyed in the beginning that I couldn't find the transcripts right away and that they weren't uploaded for a while, but they eventually appeared. But the app experience was fine for me. I had more of an issue using the course on desktop.

After watching listening to a few courses, I've discovered that often times the app will at first register the completion of a particular portion of the course but then as I progress, the progress may be undone on one or multiple portions. I use this for recertification credits and this is really frustrating because I then have to replay parts I've already heard in order to get the appropriate credits.

They've included a larger number of courses that were on other learning platforms and rebranded them. The problem is so many are outdated or low quality. My biggest issue is the price isn't justified for the amount of high quality original content. I think you're way better off saving your money and looking for sales on individual courses in other platforms or wait until you have time to binge watch a bunch of courses and issue for just one month.

Great application! Well worth the monthly fee! What you learn can improve your skills in many different areas in job related skills... and some in personal success and achievements too! What I learned in one course paid for the entire year service! All I do is, I use it to broadcast to my TV through Google Chrome. What I would like, however, if it would be back available on the Roku app as well as there is only a limited version available now, not the full version. Thank you...

Good, not great. It desperately needs a "Dark Mode" option. I really like that there is an option to turn the video off and only listen to the audio. Newest update has a glitch. Weekly Goal progress is heavily stunted now. Playback is wonky and If I finish a course or even part of a course, a glitch will happen and show that it's not finished at all.

Very frustrating, especially since I've paid for the premium service. Developers, please fix whatever is giving me way more spinny circle than watchable video. I've tried downloading the videos, I've switched the quality to medium. I have no problems with any other streaming video platform. I have limited time each day to watch these lessons and improve my skills. No time for spinning circle interruptions. Please fix it.

I recently subscribed to LinkedIn Learning/Lynda and I am very much impressed overall with the service, both on the web version and the mobile versions of the apps. I have been able to find courses on everything I am looking for and there are usually a few instructors for each topic. One might think this is a terrible thing because of potentially repetitive information, but by simply watching the different instructors, you may find someone who makes you feel most comfortable which is most important in any learning experience. This is a fantastic service to support experts who are willing to take the time out to teach and enrich those who are willing to learn. Thank you for the service!

I like that it maintains track of your progress, but it's hard to navigate in a video or see quickly where you are if you are looking at the contents screen. I wish there were a "back 30 seconds" button so I can have something repeated. I wish it integrated better with Android Auto so that I can listen like it's podcasts better. I used the AA today, but it didn't see the downloaded lessons. I love the offline feature. I love the whole concept. The lectures and tutorials and speakers are amazing.

The app has several minor bugs but is an overall great companion to the desktop. Examples of bugs: When a question is incorrect it gives you the option to re-watch a video but clicking re-watch forces the device to switch and lock in portrait mode. Exams are extremely frustrating because there are 3 fixed banners that take up the majority of the screen and cannot be dismissed. One of those banners is a link to download the app that appears even while using the app, it cannot be dismissed.

mobile is missing many features from the browser version, including transcript of videos, that make it frustrating at times. Sometimes gets confused on what you have and havent watched. videos dont get very big on mobile even in fullscreen mode, any small text is impossible to read, any cursor impossible to follow. there is an audio only option which is great. navigation is fine, search is good. sometimes limited learning on topics.

I love the courses. What I don't love is how hard it is to re-watch a course I've completed - if I'm viewing the course in the app, the course won't play, it'll just have a popup/message congratulating me on completing the course. I have to start the course and immediately switch to another app - it'll play in the background and avoid the popup. It's an annoying workaround, so I hope the devs see this review and fix it. Thanks in advance!

Sub par. Completed course by watching videos and completing quizzes. Course doesn't count as complete. I go to support to ask for help. They want a screenshot showing that I watched the videos. I try to attach the screenshot and their attachment button in support chat doesn't work. It's unfortunate...I liked the courses.

Three stars, because we, finally, have full screen view. However, unfortunately, even on a tablet, the progress / time bar and slider handle are so narrow, both are aggravatingly inaccessible. Attempting to move forward or backward in time is a frustrating chore, especially if you are toward the end of a course chapter, you end up being forced into the next, then need to return to the previous, and try again. Also, get rid of the timer on the quiz start screen, and give that choice to the user.
