CamGuru - Photography Courses

I like this app. I have a chance to watch high quality courses which inspire me going out to take photos immediately! Thanks.

It’s really cool that you have the app. Nowadays it’s important part of user experience. The one thing only I can’t make it turn horizontally. Do you have this option cause I can’t find it. If you don’t it’s very sad cause my iPad cover allows to place my iPad horizontally for comfort usage under different angles but not vertically.

When watching the courses on the phone, there are a number of problems I found. 1. There are constant requests to get discounts to either buy the course I already bought or other things. 2. Viewing the course on the phone is incredibly frustrating because I can’t see or zoom in effectively on the phone settings that are being being referred to to during the video. I have resorted to watching the classes on my computer. 3. The third complication is too difficult to describe. The information is very useful and the teaching is very good, but I’m only on class 2. I will only use the app if I absolutely have to traveling without my laptop.

Hard to give a positive review when you’re getting spammed with other courses to purchase before you’ve even set your password up for the course you just bought. The 80% ‘discounts’ will never expire, you’ll get bombarded with emails soliciting other courses, adds get in the way in the app, it’s a joke. They just want your money.

Once you buy the course you’re interested in you will be plagued with pop-ups and upsells. They respond (relatively quickly) that they’re sorry and you can turn these off in the app. You cannot. They mean you can turn notifications off…but the upselling continues. It’s probably too late at this point. You’ve already purchased and you’re just here to download the app to get your course. Sorry. You should be treated better. But this is your life now.

You would think software developers would learn there lesson after the Sonos debacle. DO NOT release a “new enhanced” version removing popular and important features. You just killed the usefulness of this app and classes as I use it away from home. Should I buy a new cellular data plan because your new version removes features ? I can tell you the one thing I’m not buying, is anymore classes. Also, you never clean up the previously downloaded videos but do NOT use them when watching. It was still getting the video via streaming and it was ignoring the downloaded copy from the previous version. Had to clean up those unused files via the iPhone storage method. FAIL. Yea classes are useful, some better then others, just don’t expect to be watching them on trains, planes and automobiles!!

For some reason I can only get the videos to play in Spanish or German. When I select English, the text is in English but the audio remains in Spanish. Nothing I do seems to change the language of the audio. Really disappointing for a first impression.

Beware of the new update, it removes the ability to download videos for offline viewing. I loved this feature for times I’m on the train with no signal.

I just purchased the photography school app and I like the few lessons I’ve watched so far. However, the ads that keep popping up for the photo editing and other upsell products are obnoxious and distracting. it’s making me consider just asking for a refund. One of the typical benefits of purchasing an app is to stop the annoying ads.

I feel it didn’t give me anything, it was short, and I honestly find the guy kind of annoying. Regret buying this app. First course is extremely short and then you realize you need to buy more and more courses.
