The Great Courses Customer Insights

1. I realize that what I've described could be a Chromecast problem which The Great Courses has no control over.Overall it works ok, but I have one big problem and one small one.

2. The Great Courses app usually works fine and I can live with the occasional hiccups.

3. I rated it at four stars because it seems to be limited to thirty courses total.

4. Each time I want to listen to a lecture, I have to toggle between Audio and Video several times just to stop the wheel.

5. It used to be a nice slick interface now it takes forever to start and when it does you can barely find the book you're listening toIs easy to use, but there are new bugs every update.

6. The app has recently changed so that you can no longer just listen to a video course, which means unless you keep refreshing your screen, you can no longer use the app while driving, hiking, or exercising.

7. Let me begin by asserting that I have loved Great Courses since 1999--and I still do.

8. Really takes away from the experience.The Great Courses Spanish app is great.

9. Please make it more stable!I used to buy the DVD versions of these courses, but lately I've discovered that it is more convenient to stream them, either using the website, or more often, this app.

10. I still like it, but being limited to cell phone data (no WiFi available without driving somewhere that has it), the app is not useful for me.

11. The only problem is that occasionally, if I pause the streaming, some sort of confusion occurs between the streaming (via Chromecast) and the app, such that the latter has lost contact with the former.
