1. 5/5Convenient, Easy, and Educational

   I completed a course on Coursera’s website on my ipad and found it difficult to start a second course on my phone due to screen formatting not being optimised for my device. When I found out they had an app, I decided to give it a try to see if it was any better. Now, I’ll never go back! The app makes learning much easier. The courses are laid out in a way which makes a lot of sense to me, and I love that it’s easy to work through each module hands-free (the next video autoplays once one ends) or jump back in when I’ve been away (the next thing to do is highlighted at the top of the page each time, but you’re also able to skip items and complete them in your own schedule). I wish there were more courses in my fields of interest, though this isn’t at Coursera’s fault and there are still a few for me to work through. I do, however, find the app is lacking a ‘wishlist’ function. It would be very helpful for me to be able to keep a list of courses I’m interested in within the app itself. Other than that, I have no complaints with this app so far!

2. 2/5No auto play makes app almost unusable

   This app is in desperate need of a “hands free” mode of some sort. Lessons are cut up into tiny individual vids that can be as short as only 3 minutes, often with “assignment” or quiz pages in between, and as you go through a course you have to manually click through to the next thing again and again and again. It’s infuriating, especially when you have a bunch of short segments one after another, forcing you to click through every few minutes. One of the main reasons I use my phone instead of a computer to listen to lectures is so that I can move around doing other things. I like to listen to music or podcasts while doing chores, exercising, driving, things like that, and would love to be able to do the same with Coursera: just hit play and let knowledge stream into my ear. I can go back to see any visual components I might have missed or do assignments later; on my phone, I'm more likely to be on the go, and apps need to be able to reflect that. The way most courses are structured means you can’t just stick an hour lecture on and go jogging: no, you have to stop every few minutes to poke your phone for the next section. To be clear, this is not a review of Coursera, which has worked hard to bring a bunch of great courses to the public. But I’ve been deeply frustrated with the app and can only pray it eventually gets a proper modern tune up.

3. 2/5Apple Store Subscription Not Being Acknowledged

   Coursera is generally a great platform and app. I’ve used it on and off for a few years. They are getting two starts because of bad billing practices. Recently, as of May 2022, Coursera stopped recognizing my monthly subscription through the App Store and has stopped allowing me to make submissions on my course assignments and section tests. It’s stopped my ability to complete courses all together as a result. When I contacted Coursera, they said this is a software bug for ALL APPLE CUSTOMERS that their developers are trying to resolve. They then closed my help ticket and didn’t provide any resolution. I contacted them again two weeks later, and this time their customer service rep said to CANCEL MY APPLE SUBSCRIPTION, TO REQUEST A REFUND THROUGH APPLE, AND TO ENROLL THROUGH THEIR MONTHLY BILLING SYSTEM. Because I don’t want to lose my progress on this professional certification, I did exactly that. Cancelled my Apple subscription and enrolled in Coursera’s subscription. It makes me want to cancel my subscription with Coursera all together, though. This is highly suspect given the controversy of the Apple Stores 30% cut on all transactions processed through their store and developers pushing back on it. It comes off as Coursera intentionally breaking Apple users access to force their hand to enroll in Coursera’s billing system to recoup the 30% loss in revenue from the Apple store.

4. 1/5The app for iPad is HORRIBLE

   So, it seems that Coursera doesn’t invest in their development nor in their support team, specifically the latter since those people don’t even know how to read and when you tell them “I already tried to uninstall the app and install it again” they ask you “have you tried to uninstall the app and install it again?”. Yes, Cora, I did, as I told to your Chat Bot and in the first email of 14 spaced in 5 days, time that I could have been studying but I lost thanks to you and that money is not being refunded. The UI of the app is terrible, is not adapted well for iPad formats, the texts to read haven’t been adapted to be read full page, you have to read all the material in a tiny window that appears over your Course/Program. The videos can’t be easily sent to your TV so I can, you know, watch the content and use Goodnotes or any other note taking app. Downloadable content, so you can study without internet? Needs internet to load, also, once you watch it or read it it’s erased so if you have any doubts and need to double check something, connect to internet too. Really, I’m annoyed with this app and the only reason to keep using it it’s that the courses (created by Google, IBM, universities and all that) are good. So since you have to put up with Coursera, they make themselves well known with their incompetence. I’m tired of complaining to you while you do virtually NOTHING.

5. 5/5Revolution Of Education

   Courera is the first learning platform to give me a opportunities to better my life and learn through companies I genuinely want to work for I want to further develop and improve myself through this organization. My intellectual capacity will grow far higher than any 4 year degree or 50k program. Because grit and time patience and determination matter more than anything its doesn’t matter if your 50 or 15 years old you can be successful and get a certified professional job without the loans or stress don’t let this world defeat you. Practice labs and find different ways to get that experience. And prosper 999 type thing demons gatekeep god’s knowledge that he gave to us for free. I thank this platform from the bottom of my heart I paid 422 to get 1000 plus courses for a year I can carry with me till I’m in my grave.(small price to pay) I will use this to be what god wanted me to be great and caring. Every human inherently has the right to be whatever they want to be don’t let you anything stop you. God bless the human race I hope we can continue in unity and learn what peace is through knowledge not ignorance

   I love Coursera but the app logs me out constantly, while the website never does this. If I click on a course, next, while taking a test, or even while watching a video, it randomly logs me out and I can't find an option to stay logged in. It's not just timing out from inactivity either!

   no, no , no, no.... I used to use the app for personal growth - Mindfulness course by Rice University, now there is no audit option, only subscription model, so I have no reason to be on the app. 😐 Even the free trial isn't free. also, reading others experience I'm glad I didn't subscribe :)

   the app does not keep track of progress the same way as the website. lot of poor user experiences in understanding where you are at in a course and the features are very much not aligned to the account on the desktop
