User Reviews

Users praise The Great Courses for its rich, high-quality content and expansive library, but the iOS app suffers from reliability and usability problems. Repeated instability, download and offline-access glitches, login/subscription pain points, missing features like search and bookmarking, and playback control quirks are commonly reported across reviews. Content quality remains the key strength, but app reliability and user experience require substantial improvement.

Pros

High-quality, in-depth course content with excellent professors.
Extensive, expanding catalog with new courses added regularly.
Strong educational value that supports long-term learning.

Cons

Frequent instability and crashes; slow loading and buggy behavior.
Unreliable downloads and offline access; downloaded content can disappear or fail to play.
Login/purchase issues; subscription recognition and Restore Purchase problems disrupt access.
Missing essential usability features (searching owned content, bookmarking, easy sharing).
Playback/resume issues (inaccurate resume, rewind behavior, lock-screen playback stops).

Recent reviews

I am frankly disgusted. Just signed up and tried to delete once I see they want to charge you a high price but track you. It refuses to delete the account; instead says it will take three weeks and only after I get an email and follow instructions. What the hell is wrong with these companies as they get bigger!! Why scholars endorse this pillaging norm! I delete the app but can’t delete the membership.

The world would be a different place if this was the education more people received. Sharing a link would be a great addition, especially if you could clip a short preview to share!
