I love The Great Courses
DR ESB
I have been buying these courses so long I cannot remember the first ones. Thank you. The app make them easy to access and earplugs allow me to watch them on a plane.
A Favorite

I use this all the time. Allows you to download your lectures and listen independent of WiFi and without cell charges.
Mediocre.

This app is about to drive me nuts—no matter how I shut down, resuming the lecture runs several minutes—up to ten or so—of material I already listened to. Interface is squinting-small text and idiot ten second forward/back option is next to useless. Given the other criticisms on reviews that are apparently not fixed after many months, I wonder if the teaching company is capable of learning?
Great concept

I love having access to such quality education. I use it on my iPad with Wi-Fi. It is difficult to tell if I am streaming or watching from the download. That needs to be made more clear to the user, but should be minor tweak in GUI. That will be important to me when I’m traveling without Wi-Fi.
The best learning system.

Not only do I find the GreatCourses one of the best learning systems available but academically addictive!!!. Joey Villarreal
Great way to consume information

I see everyone on here is complaining about how hard it is to use while driving, which makes me very concerned about what else they’re doing while driving. Yes, you need to download first if you live in a rural area. Yes, you can’t skip, stop, rewind, or fast forward easily while driving. You’re not supposed to! Put the phone down, people! The only true issue I have is the buttons are tiny, and even when I was home, sitting still, I had to try several times to make it understand I wanted to download. And I have fairly small fingers. That being said, it’s a really cool way to get these lectures. We spend most of our lives on the go, and I’m just not going to taking the time to stop and watch something or use my computer to listen. But I can easily finish a lecture in a day’s worth of car time with this app. Which is not so great for my wallet, granted, but a great way to consume information.
No downloads. No way to download
CathyCS
When I attempt to access this on my iPhone, none of the lectures are downloaded, although they were previously. There is no way to download lectures. I have been over and over this. I have been through the tutorial, I have attempted to contact great courses, I can access all my lectures through my home television, but apparently my iPhone is incapable of doing this. Really Fed up. This has worked previously, but no longer does. There is no available update. Grrrrrr.
Great, but...

I love the GreatCourses but I have one major complaint with the app. I would like to be able to view the book that comes with the course while I am listening to the lesson.
