The Great Courses

Content is great Some better than others Wish there was a way to speed up or slow down some of the videos Also it would have been great if one could down load or purchase new content directly from inside the App Lastly downloading content onto your phone is now slower than it used to be but perhaps that is not a function of the App              Good but could be better

Ive been a fan of the Great Courses for years and now the app makes it so simple The streaming is effortless and I havent run in to any problems Nicely designed app                 Love great courses and the app

My mother has been a customer of great courses for years accumulating quite a library of courses on VHS tape When I discovered the availability on streaming with my phone I jumped right on it As far as the app itself is concerned the only minor deficiency is the lack of a 10 or 30 backspace button Other than that its very stable and plays perfectly Thank you for a great product                 Great app

I have taken a few courses including financial planning cooking and meditation The instructors are excellent and I really enjoy having such a variety of education at my fingertips The courses keep me interested and are a great value                 Life Long Learning

I have purchased mostly math and science courses but have several from other disciplines They have all been excellent The cinematography for each course is very professional as are the instructors The app is very good but I wish it had a 10 second skip forward or back option on playback It could also use a volume control slider That said it is still a very good app                 Fabulous courses very good app

I find myself trying to rearrange my daily schedule so as to create time to watch the lectures Downloading feature is a major plus                 So many courses so little time

I do agree that a 15 or 30 second replay would add to the experience but everything else is just excellent                 Just excellent

Appreciate the several fine courses I have purchased through Great Courses                 High quality info presentations

What a great motivational tool You can take it anywhere Very satisfied DGM                 The Great Courses App

Might as well learn while you drive Great app Wish I could buy courses directly through the app though                 Good app

Video is fine but I cant get the audio lectures to play        Not so hot

I thoroughly love The Great Courses app I really appreciate the versatility of being able to watch it on different devices especially streaming through Apple TV                 LOVE

An app worthy of the Great Courses A godsend for traveling or anytime you want to feed your brain              Very much improved

The Great Courses and thiss app are a little bit of heaven on earth Just saying                 Love this

Plays fine no complaints              Works well

App crashes with some frequency Courses are awesome No rewind Wish they had inapp purchases              Great but not excellent

The Great Couses trade hours of boredom for hours of learning and cultural entertainment                 A must have app

I didnt like the prior release of the player program but this release is much much better It does an excellent job of picking up where previously left off courses are better organized etc Even better the developers continue to make ongoing tweaks on a regular basis Speaking of tweaks the only tweak that comes to mind would be the addition of rewind 15 sec and skip forward 15 sec buttons as are found on the QuickTime player                 Much Better

Ive bought many courses and enjoy the opportunity to learn about a variety of topics I love the fact that I can now download a lecture or two or three to my iPhone or iPad and listen or watch while traveling The app is very user friendly and well done Thank you Great Courses                 Love Great Courses and the App

Ive purchase many courses and plan to purchase many more All courses so far have been great                 Great app great product

Nice app overall easy to use looks nice etc However with no option for increased playback speed I find I lose interest and revert instead to listening to podcasts with that capability           No Increased Playback Speed

I now have 82 Teaching Company courses having also switched to the downloadable and on line streaming format a year ago My library is quite eclectic covering enough breadth to make a Humanities department advisor proud I volunteer as an instructor in the local community college senior program and these courses are a valuable source of information for my Health Care Issues Discussion group class If you prefer to broaden your mind with something other than mindless sports and unreality broadcasts and incessant talking by people who have little clue then give the courses a try I doubt you will regret the education they provide                 Teaching Company certainly teaches me

Love this app                 Awesome

The Great Courses app gives you the best of the best of American universities The app allows you to stream lectures or download them for later consumption on your tablet or phone This is the ultimate in convenience and learning while on the go                 Best University Online

Works well on iPhone but cannot maintain connection to Apple TV           Keeps disconnecting from Apple TV

I love this app and this company If youre looking to expand your academic knowledge in just about any area then Great Courses probably has a course for you Ive found it to be excellent so far                 HAVE TEACHERS WILL TRAVEL

I have lots of Great Courses Such an easy way to get an education                 Geology

Keeps dropping connections Download icons only work about 25 of the time Slow to load and behaves unpredictably Could be server latency in part perhaps Still needs a LOT of work Painful to stream anything even with high bandwidth connections Only workable use is to download the episodes but even then not as good as playing the MP3 files in a decent player Im a long time customer and love this company but they got hosed by their developers for this software     Poor performing glitchy and slow

I have a whole bunch of courses from The Great Courses They are pretty awesome I can watch them on my iPad iPhone or PC They are really good courses with excellent instructors If you want to learn about any subject find a course here You wont be disappointed                 Good Stuff

Better but new version still not working correctly Skips ahead after 1 lecture Indicates that I had watched a lecture that in fact I had not     Aweful

Amazing courses and great app Wish you Could buy courses in app but otherwise amazing                 Great

This app is easy to use and its even better now bc you can download the courses and access them offline That makes it even better for me and my data when Im not home                 Best Education App Ever

Most courses are outstanding Streaming is generally very good quality              Very good app better product

My discovery of the Great Courses was one of lifes big treats From resources in the art world to exploring cultures to polishing up cooking skills science health the human personality literature it has been an incredible ride I like and use the books that come with each title The presentations are informative and fascinating The diversity of presentation styles and personalities reflect the individuality of the presenters I am ok with the variations course to course Better than being a canned clone Purchasing some titles as audio is much kinder to my budget I have always found their customer service staff cordial accommodating and knowledgeable Their willingness to be pleasantly helpful is a major plus In my line of work I do a lot of research I find the Great Courses to be just that Great courses Something for everyone Since I dont have buckets of money to burn the sales they offer help feed my my hunger to learn more Its a great company that offers a great product                 They offer great courses

Easy to use and it always works This app has really improved from the earlier versions                 Awesome app

This is a super tool to use for our entire family We really learn so much                 Love it

With a broad variety of subjects on the menu there is something for everyones palette While they may seem pricey the courses are well prepared and worth sampling I recommend The Great Courses to intelligentsia everywhere                 Keep your Mensa IQ up

I used to listen in my Apple Music App which worked great until they split it up with IBooks last update Now it just list track number instead of chapters Switched to Great Courses app and it works great except it does not continue from where it left off                 Great Courses Great Product

Great app Streaming and downloading work well Illustrations are beautiful The updates actually improve the experience Would like a timer to shut off after 10mins 20 or on completion of a lecture                 Great courses app

What a relaxing way to learn These courses will always be on my Christmas and birthday want lists                 Love these courses

Just purchased and process was seamless Great way to keep your mind sharp and improve your knowledge                 Analysis and Critique

You will not regret buying any of the courses and they are now so easy to access through your iPad and phone              Love this program app

We have been listening to Great Courses virtually ever since we retired 7 years ago on a multitude of topics We love history and find always new and interesting courses During a recent trip to San Diego by car I downloaded the lectures to my iPhone and we listened to them while driving through somewhat boring desert countryside Out of all the courses we have purchased over the years only 2 did not meet our expectations and we were able to return them for a full refund without any hassle We will remain loyal customers for a long time                 Our favorite morning ritual

I saw the ads for a long time and was a skeptic of a bunch of canned courses online They lured me in with a low cost high value course It was a great idea and now that I am in I wished Id started earlier The instructors are great and I can only do those courses that sound interesting to me Nothing but good to say                 Long in coming

The courses and app make learning painlessly easy                 Great Courses and App

Intuitive App easy to use access to a wealth of helpful courses Happy to recommend it to all the life long learners out there              Helpful App

Excellent app and I appreciate this company listening to its customers for continuous improvement              Wow

I love how easy the course is to access move through chapters                 So Easy Great Navigation

Great platform for accessing TGCs incredible content library Incredibly easy to navigate for both viewing and shopping Even performs well on smaller devices such as iPhone                 Well designed tool for life long learning

I love the convenience of being able to watch my courses on my phone pad or computer The app works well and is easy to use Im also enjoying my courses                 Love it
