Love Udemy but hate this app – Udemy Online Video Courses Review

I have bought over two dozen courses with Udemy. The content and instructors are world class. BUT... trying to watch any of the video content on my iPad is PAINFUL. It takes forever to load - not just the videos but even the Purchased and Wishlist pages. When a video is done playing, (more often than not) the circular loading graphic just spins and spins trying to load the next video. I then have to close the app and clear it from my app history to get it to load again. I’ve found that it does help with playback if you download the entire course video content first - but that takes forever to download as well. I have NO issues with other apps that stream video over WiFi (Netflix/HBO) so I can’t blame my network strength or the iPad for this horrible playback. Watching online on my computer works great- but I’d prefer not being chained to my desk to watch these. Come on Udemy- fix this app please!!!
