Skillsoft Percipio Reviews

by Dosman!

Here is an ebook app written by people who have apparently never used the Kindle app.
No landscape mode, no swipe to turn page, no font or readability options, strange multi column layout in portrait that spoils the book’s original formatting.
This is app 101 stuff. If this was a service users had a choice about, they’d never pay. Instead it’s a corporate learning platform w no incentive to improve.
I mean, at least have your developers try iBooks!

The audiobook portion of SkillsoftPercipio is very frustrating and could be so much better. As a user, I generally have to remember where I am in an audiobook because SkillsoftPercipio rarely does. It also seems to call the books I’m listening to ‘completed’ before I actually am. I was hoping for a better experience given that audiobooks aren’t new.

I have been studying and after the last two updates I have lost major features on my iPad. One, I can no longer share/download content. Two, the creen no longer rotates from portrait to landscape. The icing on the cake is that SkillsoftPercipio crashes after a few taps. I have a course that ends in 15 days and I cannot get access to it with SkillsoftPercipio crashing all the time. Please update, thank you.

SkillsoftPercipio at one time worked fine but for the last several months, I have been unable to search for anything or “Explore”. The screen goes white and is frozen. No way to get beyond that. I’ve been trying to be patient and hoping an update would come along to fix this but alas, none have. I’ve also tried redownloading it several times only to reach the same blockage.

It is sad that Percipio does not seem interested in supporting landscape mode for their app. It’s much more practical to access the information from an iPad than from a smaller iPhone. Videos seem to have some support for landscape mode, but to actually navigate to them you learn to read sideways because SkillsoftPercipio refuses to reorient to landscape.

The book font size is about 2 on my IPad mini 6 which has screen size of 8.3 inches. On my larger iPad, font size is about 6, ok to read but not comfortable. Is there a way to adjust font size? Every other ereader of books seems to offer this basic functionality.

During the video training there will be moments were SkillsoftPercipio will not register that you can proceed to the next video. I have also had experiences where after completing the test, it will not give you a score and make you repeat the test. Even if you have a passing grade.

I find the content to be clear and at a good pace. However, I have two issues with SkillsoftPercipio .

In one video, it started suddenly to switch to portrait mode. I even set my machine manually to landscape but SkillsoftPercipio keeps insisting on switching to portrait after a couple of seconds in landscape.

Also, after doing a few videos this morning; when closing SkillsoftPercipio I received a message that it was down for maintenance. When I was able to log back in, SkillsoftPercipio didn’t register that I had started a channel and it refused to recognise the last four videos that I had watched. I am unable to manually set that the videos have been watched and even when I forwarded through the videos to the end, it would not register my viewing.

If you have an IPad or IPhone. You can not use this in landscape mode to search, only certain parts of the content will switch to landscape mode. So if you have an iPad with a keyboard it will default to portrait mode even when using keyboard. Unfortunately Skillsoft doesn’t want to fix this. Have brought this to their attention via my work contacts and still do not have a resolution.

Good content. Clear, concise. Difficulty with SkillsoftPercipio at times: there has been one test I took that would not allow you select the correct answer- therefore no matter what you did, that question was incorrect. Sometimes SkillsoftPercipio also does not recognize that you took a test and makes you retake it, sometimes multiple times.

SkillsoftPercipio really makes it easy to learn when it’s convenient for me. There are a few interface issues, for example it should stay in landscape mode when I sit the device down flat, but it doesn’t. Those are only minor complaints though.

by TinyBean24

After uninstalling SkillsoftPercipio several times, a new phone, a re-imaged phone, still not able to get SkillsoftPercipio to stay open longer than a minute or two. Just about the time i manage to get a video to run or read a few sentences of a book SkillsoftPercipio crashes.

Edit: application seems to be working much better after bug fixes. Havent had the opportunity to use it extensively just yet but the immediate crash issue does seem to be fixed.

I normally use the website on my laptop but when both my little ones are up they like to mess with it so I use SkillsoftPercipio on my phone. It’s very convenient and works the same as the website!

I am preparing to test for my PMP Certification Exam. SkillsoftPercipio gives me no excuses because i don’t have to be tethered to my workstation! Tablet, phone or online at my office... I can stop and study anywhere. I’ve even listened while riding in the car! Sweet!!!!!

by That_girl_trin

Have seen no glitches or issues with SkillsoftPercipio everything runs smoothly.
Videos are crisp and submunitions are easy.
Thank you for a care free learning experience!
Beautiful work!

There’s plenty of information and tools to help you grow and develop professionally and personally. I only have one request...Could we get SkillsoftPercipio on the Apple Watch? My life would be complete if I could access SkillsoftPercipio while working out without my phone.

Great app for corporate employees to learn the latest in business, leadership and technology. I especially liked the small bite sized videos, book and audiobooks summaries, in addition to the regular courses and books they have on various topics.

I love this tool and have learned so much!! I might make a suggestion to include a 0.75x speed option in future updates. I love that I have multiple increased listening speeds to choose from and wish there were more options to slow down the conversation. 0.5x is still usable but it would be nice to have something in between 0.5x and 1.0x.

Update: after the bugs were fixed, I’m really enjoying SkillsoftPercipio . Good selection of courses.
********
Several courses have bugs that prevent correct recording of course completion through SkillsoftPercipio . I’ve completed tests multiple times on a course before it shows up as completed.

We do not carry computer in the field making it next to impossible to complete training on time. SkillsoftPercipio makes it convenient to do so in a timely manner.

by Plsfix2

SkillsoftPercipio is good when it works. However SkillsoftPercipio keeps crashing or doesn’t launch properly. The touch feature to go back (upper left arrow on iPhone) doesn’t seem to be responsive (not sure if it’s an app issue or iPhone XR issue). When SkillsoftPercipio does work, there is no way to book mark where you’ve left off. Please fix.

I recently started listening audio book. It took me more than 2 hours to listen 20 minutes.
App crash automatically, even while listening.
In case of crash,Doesn't keep track of last paragraph being read.
Just give option to go forward by 30 minutes.

After the first video plays, it doesn’t auto start the next video in the series. Also opens up in landscape, but then login and video selection is in portrait mode. Then it will finally go back into landscape to play the video. Seems unnecessary to have to switch like that.

by GriffEatingApples

Why is landscape mode not supported when iPads and iPad Pros are getting larger and larger, and we users do want to use iPads with keyboards when learning. The improvement isn’t that hard, right? Right? Finally, the video is very blurry once expanded to full screen.

by Emilkunic

Pretty good selection of courses, but starts buffering if you watch a video all the way to the end before starting the next video and then crashes when you try to put it back in landscape mode.

by Rb_King

SkillsoftPercipio is well designed and I a great learning tool . The only problem is that I can’t broadcast a video to the screen using Apple TV . Other than that , the topics covered are relevant to the work place and the instructors share relevant knowledge.

by Weselyd

SkillsoftPercipio would be better if it could be viewed on horizontal view so i can sit my iPad down and not in my hand.

by PHINN3Y

Product is great. iPhone app is almost perfect, but needs landscape for iPad. Also, cannot view badges on either platform. Hoping these come soon!

I like how easy it is to navigate through SkillsoftPercipio!
