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).

After four years, it LOOKS LIKE they have finally made an app that is stable and functional... WRONG! Turns out if you try to use their service on a different device, like an android tablet or phone, once you login on the android device, it logs you out out of your iPhone app. And then, when you try to log back in on your iPhone, your username and password no longer works! It says email and password not a match. But I absolutely positively was using the correct password and email set. To "fix this" I had to reinstall the app, which deleted 100 GB of my off-line downloads! This kind of thing has happened so many times and I'm tired of having to waste my time re-downloading my off-line downloads. I love the service but the problems with the app is ridiculous. I think it's time to quit and go with a different service.

The content is WONDERFUL and has rececently gone through a major update and remastering (thank you!). Now, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it easy to share a link to courses AND episodes. I have several friends who also have the subscription and it is hard to recommend and link up for watching and chatting on all the wonderful material. This is an emportant part of this subscription.
