1. But you can't download the exercises from the course (or even do some of them AT ALL in the app), so working offline is pretty much impossible except for videos (and maybe readings?) Since you have to be online AND in a browser for the exercises anyway, there's no significant advantage using the app to access edX courses.
2. This makes it really hard to watch downloaded videos in landscape mode.Using their bookkeeping course, the activities are partially hidden at the edge of the screen making it so I can't see the whole activity, and therefore can't actually read the whole question, and sometimes can't see the answers or notes as they trail off past the edge.
3. Is it 1999 or 2023? Very very disappointed, but very happy I tried a course in free audit mode and didn't waste my money.This app has only one very slight improvement over accessing edX through a browser and that is the ability to download videos.
4. It does: - require faster speed of the Internet to view the course - require to check web-based for some content - Not really user friendly in terms of interface and forms, just good enough to use.
5. The only thing I have an issue with is the filters lack a few things, such as course length and course type, so you end up having to scroll and click repeatedly if you're looking for specifics in those categories.
6. Gives you access to free material, with the option to purchase the certificates, offers full programs, and full degrees.
7. When you've downloaded videos to watch offline and view them full screen there is an "offline" banner that displays at the bottom.
8. You would thing downloading the course for offline use would mean just that.
9. Instead, only videos are downloaded and all supporting material STILL requires internet access.
10. Also, course progress isn't always captured when lectures are viewed on the app; I frequently have to redo them on the desktop site.
11. I think this app will continue to get better!The experience in this app is terrible compared to Coursera when it comes to usage with intermittent internet access.
