Coursera: Grow your career

After most recent update the app seems to think I'm always offline, doesn't seem to matter wether I'm using wifi or data, I can't watch anything and always get the error that I'm using Coursera offline

Excellent app for learning some of the great courses which are offered through the Coursera platfrom.

I don’t know what it is with this recent update but there are constant bugs that make the iPad version of this app unusable. For example, videos won’t produce an image but the audio will be there. Another one being how it will attempt to pull up the next assignment while watching a lecture with no kind of input whatsoever. This update has made it extremely frustrating to complete coursework on-the-go and has forced me to have to wait to log into a computer.

I remember when Coursera had plenty of courses you could take for free, sure that was limited and you wouldn’t get credit but it was great. That option doesn’t exist anymore it appears. This is not a cheap subscription and I will not pay for a course or access to courses without some free trialing first. Additionally, an obvious feature is missing…why can’t I favorite/save a course for later. I would love to have a tab to look at my top picks!

Coursera itself is awesome — I’m able to learn a lot of stuff from its programs! The app, though, is limited in its experience as quizzes and specialized modules aren’t available through tablet or mobile devices (there’s also a constant error halting assignments from activating on the app) . Although I have access to a computer, it’s disappointing that I can’t fulfill the entire program on my main device (iPad), especially while traveling. However, the videos work great and the offline downloads are helpful.

Most recent version is super buggy on the iPad. It keeps pulling up a random quiz that I’ve already completed while I’m in the middle of video lectures. Basically unusable because I can only get through about 10 seconds of content at a time.

5/5 stars on desktop for its massive log of content and seamless usability. 0/5 stars on my iPad Pro and iPhone as it is genuinely unusable. On my phone, videos will skip to the next content after about 10 seconds. On my iPad, half of the video form content is displayed as a black screen. Also, I am constantly interrupted by the app asking for a review. Stop this.

App constantly spam for enabling notifications and other things but is otherwise great

They have made it literally impossible to find the financial aid section. I’m sure this is done intentionally since any attempts to contact support over the matter has not been responded to in the slightest. Wish they added some sort of hyperlink to help you find section that directs you to a financial aid area, rather than just directing you to a place which clearly does not exist.
