Poor navigation and usability – iTunes U Review

This app needs some of the usability features of the Podcasts app. The biggest drawback in my opinion is that you cannot reopen the app and immediately be able to start listening where you left off which makes a horribly clunky experience of trying to remember what class you’ve been working with and what lesson/episode you are on, especially if you had to stop partway through a lesson. This isn’t the experience I expect from Apple. You also cannot find a course that you have subscribed to unless you also “get” the course—that’s a useless distinction between subscription and getting the course, so if you want to find it later you either have to remember it or get it and then it clutters up your list of courses you are currently taking. The usefulness of the app and selection of courses is pretty good and growing all the time but the usability irritates every time I use it.
