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).

Can’t get to my old purchases. Update is wonky. Will not use - lost a long time customer

Hopefully, this is an isolated incident. However, my personal experience shows otherwise. The courses are world class however the software is remarkably bad. Plan on multiple password resets in order to view your coursework. Each login requires multiple password resets. What a shame.

I got the Classics membership because there was a promo, then added a bunch of lectures to my watch list. I started several. Then when I log back in nearly every course I had saved is now only in the plus bundle, practically double the price. I will be canceling the membership immediately. There is no way they could have done this intentionally, but it felt very misleading.
