Website is a Better Experience

I tried using the app, but overall it is a worse experience compared to the website. The interface is so sparse and missing so many visuals or features that I can get on the website. But I do like the ability to download video lessons and would at least have tried using the app if it weren’t for...It won’t properly track my course progress! I just completed several lessons and when I came back to the app and checked on the website, it showed I hadn’t moved at all. But when I went back and went through the same lessons on the website, my current position and progress were updated correctly. So appears to be a bug with the app? This is a showstopper obviously - I can’t use the app if it won’t keep track of where I am in the course. So for now, back to the website until this is fixed...

Content is great, app is terrible

EdX has world class educational content but the app itself is poorly designed and glitchy. I should never have to leave the app to access content. If I leave the app to access content on a browser, I shouldn’t see a link to download the app in the browser window. Radial buttons should just work; I cringe at the idea of my progress getting lost because someone couldn’t design a form effectively. When exploring courses by subject, the default page should be the one that shows all the subjects. I don’t care about featured courses because they’re not personalized. With the recent update I’m supposed to be able to view all content in English because that’s the language in my settings. There’s something wrong and all the courses are showing up in Spanish. Come on people, I don’t do digital UX and even I know this stuff. If it weren’t for the fact that the content is good, this would be a one star review.

Great information

This app is fantastic in terms of finding courses, enrolling in them, and having instructors who can adequately relay information, which is key for retaining information. There is a wide variety of subjects and courses available to the public. The app is receiving only 4 stars as opposed to 5 because of user-friendliness. When I click the expand button on a video lecture, the video only turns horizontally and it removes captions. It does not expand the video to fit my phone screen. When I tap the screen to remove the buttons (pause, rewind, etc) to see lecturer and diagrams clearly, they immediately pop up again. Lastly, I can not zoom on to the video to see diagrams up close, which is problematic. For these reasons, I prefer to use the mobile website as opposed to the app.

Offline content and re-logins are a mess

I used to use this app about 2 years ago, but stopped using because the app was almost unusable in places without internet connection, even for offline content.Now, I’ve started using again and the same irritating bugs are still there, showing that this app does not receive any attention.The only time I have to watch courses is when I am in the subway, where internet connection does not exist, so it’s really painful to be in the middle of a video and it simply logs me out and asks to log in again. With no connection, it is not possible.Apart from that, only videos can be downloaded for offline study (when it works offline), all the rest of the content cannot.I have been seeing some courses that I would be interested in paying for the certificate, but studying the whole content offline in the iPhone is impossible, even for watching the videos.

Could Be Much Better

Visually, the app could use a lot of work. This app is good at just looking at courses and reviewing materials but when it comes to watching lectures, there’s several issues. On my device, the whole screen is not used for playback and there are horrendous white AND black borders. Also, you can’t watch a video for more than 3 seconds without the play/pause button, scrubbing, and volume buttons popping up blocking content. The site is much better at full screen and I will be sticking with that. Also, the iPad version doesn’t support split screen unless you use the site so again, site wins. A mobile app should have utility and it doesn’t offer anything more than the site does. In fact, it offers way less (besides downloading videos which again, don’t do any good). No need for an app if that’s the case.

Glitchy

EDX is one of two MOOCs that I use most, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn online. However, the app is terrible. It lacks features such as removing a course from the dashboard. The search feature could also be greatly improved. I like that courses can be saved, but there is no tab to see saved courses. Also, when I take quizzes within the app, the app keeps glitching and reloading the quiz question over and over again. Even closing and reopening the app doesn’t help. Videos freeze up. The app crashes. This app needs a ton of improvement. As for the EDX platform itself, it is good overall, but there is room for improvement there as well. For instance, there shouldn’t be a fee for people to be able submit assignments if the course is outdated, discussion forums are deserted, or there is no instructor/staff support. Courses severely lacking in those areas should either be free or removed from the platform.

Great app, though not free of clunk

This organization had brought great courses to the web. Though not always the top recording abilities, teachers have shared their courses to many. The app is very simple in ui though sometimes clunky and strange. It appears to do everything it needs to do. To be able to learn on the go is amazing. I like that it has a hot key to pick up where you left off, though like many online courses doesn’t always know exactly where you really left off. Like say I didn’t complete the reading or even watch a video, it might just drop you where it thinks you’d start next time. Not a large issue if you are regularly getting to your courses. I had to log out and log back in to get my courses, which might have been a password issue.

Small business start up

This amazing you all have something like these for all walks of life. Taking advantage of these one by one and has sparked a light in me to live my dream. Here in America great land and love but we have fallen to being selfish and think of ourselves. Professionals become like a Pandora’s box to never be open again until they reach the Almighty. Teaching your brother in to make goals, never let them fall, help them in time of need, give them a skill to lift their own business up and then opening the doors for your mate to make business of their own is a fairytale. That’s what I see if missing on making America great again. Feeling for your neighbor is key. Thank you for this opportunity and I’m flying through the course and taking notes bc believe you me I’m taking advantage and making a whole new world to help out our people!

Impressive!

I was able to download the app, create an account, find and enroll in a course, and watch the introductory video within a matter of minutes. There appears to be a large number of available courses covering a wide range of topics. Each course has a syllabus as well as detailed descriptions of the parting knowledge one will have acquired upon completion. Instructors will grade your submissions through the class, yielding a final grade. There’s even an option to receive an official certificate of completion. I’ll hold off on that prior to more research—it costs $99. Curiously, the few courses I looked at were offered through what one could call “3rd party affiliate universities”. Perhaps I didn’t read the full app description but I was under the impression these would be actual Harvard courses. Nevertheless, so far so good and I am looking forward to enjoying the learning process. Highly recommended.

Bookmark!

Before you spend time adding additional features, u need to make sure the basic features exist for the software u have developed. In this case, the ability to know where you left off in a video lecture. It is crucial. Coursera does a great job of highlighting where u are in the course although their last update was bizarre UX wise. Edx has a much nicer design but is missing some basics which mean people end up using the desktop version. I dont know about everyone else but Im not going to download the videos, so while the latest update is great for those that are, it would be great if the next feature to focus on is letting users know (via bookmark) where they are in the course. Also "last accessed" is not the same thing and should be an additional feature. I would also like to be able to hide or remove archived classes from my course list using some kind of filtering. But def not as important as basic bookmarking.
